The Mortuary Poet.
He was a country-looking chap, with
an odd mixture of sorrow and resigna¬
tion on his lean countenance, and he
dropped upon the startled advertising
clerk of the Bangor Patriot with the
mysterious whisper of—
“She’s gone.”
“Who’s gone ?” asked the clerk,
“Maria.”
“Who in thunder’s Maria?”
“My wife; she’s gone. ”
“Gone where ?”
“Up above—died last night—want
you to put it in your next issue.”
“What ailed her ?”
“Lockjaw, She lay for three weeks
and couldn t speak ; never had such t<
quiet tiiiiu in the house before. Just do
tlie notice up line, will you, an’I’ll see
that everything is fixed up all right.”
Accordingly, the e^erk scribbled away
for a moment, handed out wlist he had
written for inspection, and curtly re¬
marked ;
“Dollar thirty-five.”
The bereaved husband read it over
carefully, and finally, gave a sigh of sat¬
isfaction.
