Only His Grave Remains. A friendless old man in a small town in this state, after suffering many years from a cancer and using all his bard earned money, mortgaged his small farm last fall for a sum sufficient to get him into the Maine General hospital, and went there to die, but has lingered through the winter, suffering acutely. A few weeks ago word was sent to the town authorities frpni the hospital to make arrangements at once for his burial, as he could not possibly live but a few hours, and his body would need immediate attention. So in the lonely village churchyard was dug his grave, which still awaits its occupant. Strange to relate, the condition of the sick man has since changed for the better, bet-ter, and there is a possibility that he will recover sufficiently to return to find n house and no welcome save the opeij grave on the bleak hillside.
