know he was a _dark-knight_."

The following epitaph is on the tomb of David Birkenhead, in Davenham
churchyard, Cheshire:

"A tailor by profession,
And in the practice, a plain and honest man:
He was a useful member of society;
For, though he picked holes in no man's coat,
He was ever ready to repair
The mischief that others did;
And whatever _breaches_ broke out in _families_,
He was the man to mend _all_,
And make matters up _again_:
He lived and died respected."

Forty years' service in Lord Penryhn's family induced Lady Penryhn to
bestow this stone to his memory.

AXIOM.

Nought but love can answer love,
And render bliss secure;
But virtue nought can virtue prove
To make that bliss secure.

* * * * *

FOR A WATCH-CASE.

Life's but a transient span:
Then, with a fervent prayer each night,
Wind up the days, and set 'em right,
Vain mortal man!
