A SINGULAR EPITAPH.
In a Baltimore (U.S.A.) cemetery there are three curious gravestones. The stone at the right has an inscription testifying to the fact that a woman lies beneath, and a hand sculptured below the inscription points to the centre grave with the significant sentence : “ He was mine.” The grave to the left, likewise, had an inscription testifjnng to the fact that a woman lies there, and here again is a carved hand pointing to the centre grave with the legend : “ He was mine also.” In the middle grave is buried the husband of these two women, and on his tombstone are carved two hands joined at the wrists, one pointing to the right, and the other to the left. Then there is the inscription: “ They are both mine.”
