The following epitaph is engraved on a toombstone in a churchyard in Ireland — " Here lies Pat Steel— that's very true. Who was he P— what's that to you ?" A minister who bad been reproving one of his elders for over-indulgence observed a cow go down to a stream, take a drink, and then turn away. " There," said he to his offending elder, "is an example for you ; the cow hae quenched its tbirtt, and has retired." " Yet," replied tho other, " that is very true. But suppose another cow had come to the other side of the stream and had said 'Here's to you,' there's no toying how long they might have gone on."
