SERMONS ON STONES.
A lady contributor has sent in the following quaint inscriptions taken from Scottish tombstones. The first is from a stone in a very old kirkyard in Aberdeenshire, nor far from the birthplace of the Rev. Geo. Macdonald : "Bemember, man, as jou pasa by, As you aro now, sd once 'vas I; As I am now, so you must be, Bemember, man, you too must die." Another is from a tablet in the Elgin Cathedral:— "This vroHd is a city full of streets, And Death is the market where all mea ' meetß, If life were a thing that money could buy, The poor would not live, and tha rich would not die."
