AUSTRALIAN EPITAPHS.
Beneath this sod lie 3 Wrestler Tim, A Dalesman he, and huge of limb ; But the champion’s belt, it went from him When the Death Angel wrestled a fall with Tim. Fair Widow Dumpling lies under this stone A striking female with muscle and bone. Her lovers she thwacked, she would not say “ Yea,” Still true to cold Dumpling, she always ciied “ Nay.” You may pray for the soul of Digger Dunn Who’s gone a-fossicking for kingdom come ; But he cares not a cuss, doe 3 digger Dunn, For his cheque was passed in in ‘‘fifty one.”
