 Description: THE above epitaph, written by the genial humorist's mother, one may read on a marble slab in the little cemetery at Waterford, Oxford County, Maine,— "Water-ford near Rum-ford," as he used to say, "the little village that nestled amongst the hills and never did anything but nestle." It is a charming spot where rest the remains of Charles Farrar Browne, looking out upon the little lake, and hard by the edge of a beech and maple wood, Where ruddy children tumbled in their play, And lovers came to woo, in the days when I first knew the place. Born in the same year and in the same neighborhood as himself, and all the scenes of his early life being as dear and familiar to me as the songs of the birds or the crests of the bordering hills, it has seemed partly a duty, as well as a privilege and pleasure, to add my little contribution to the literature his career has called forth.
