CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A.

If epitaphs of recent date are admitted in "N. & Q.," perhaps the

following, upon an editor, which lately appeared in the _Halifax Colonist_,

may not be out of place in your publication:

"Here _lies_ an editor!

_Snooks_ if you will;

In mercy, kind Providence,

Let him _lie still_.

He _lied_ for his living: so

He lived, while he _lied_,

When he could not _lie longer_,

He _lied_ down, and died."
