Minor Notes.

_Inscription._--The following quaint inscription is to be found on a

gravestone in the churchyard of Llangollen, North Wales:

"Our life is but a winter's day:

Some only breakfast and away;

Others to dinner stay, and are full fed;

The oldest man but sups, and goes to bed.

Large is the debt who lingers out the day;

Who goes the soonest has the least to pay."
