G. J. DE WILDE.

_Enigmatical Epitaph._--I offer for solution an enigma, copied from a

tomb in the churchyard of Christchurch in Hampshire:

"WE WERE NOT SLAYNE BUT RAYSD;

RAYSD NOT TO LIFE,

BVT TO BE BVRIED TWICE

BY MEN OF STRIFE.

WHAT REST COVLD ᵀᴴ LIVING HAVE,

WHEN DEAD HAD NONE?

AGREE AMONGST YOV,

HERE WE TEN ARE ONE.

HEN. ROGERS DIED APRIL 17, 1641.
