By Frederic W fJngcf ^ There are said to be " sermons m 

 Hones," but when they are tomb^ones 

 there is many a smile mixed with the moral. ^ Usually 

 churchyard humor is all the more delightful because it is 

 unconscious, but there are times when it is intentional and 

 none the less amusing. ^ Of epitaphs, old and new, this 

 book contains the beit. It is full of quaint bits of obituary 

 fancy, with a touch of the gruesome here and there for a 

 relish. 



PI^OVE^BS Th^ genius, wit, and spirit of a nation 

 By John H. Bechtel are discovered in its proverbs, and the 

 condensed wisdom of all ages and all 

 nations is embodied in them. ^ A good proverb that fits 

 the case is often a convirxing argument. ^ This volume 

 contains a representative colledion of proverbs, old and new, 

 and the indexes, topical and alphabetical, enable one to find 

 readily ju^ what he requires.
