On a man killed on a railroad track, in America :

"Here are deposited the bones
(The flesh being torn off)
of an unknown man,

who, being deaf, blind, and lame,
neglected to obey the customary signals,
and was run over as a punishment
for his contumacy.

The engineer promptly stopped the engine
after it had cut the body in two,
and, with the most exemplary humanity,
conveyed the remains to an adjacent wood-shed,
where all means of resuscitation were tried,
but, alas!

the vital spark had fled.
For the humanity they displayed,
The engineer and signal men were presented by the
Company with a service of plate."

At Little Stukely, in Huntingdonshire, on the Rev. J. WATERHOUSE :—

"Sacred to the memory of the

Rev. JOSHUA WATERHOUSE, B.D.

nearly forty years fellow of Catherine Hall, Cambridge, Chaplain to his Majesty, Rector of this Parish, and of Coton, near Cambridge, who was inhumanly murdered in this Parsonage House, about ten o'clock on the morning of July 3rd, 1827, Aged eighty-one :

"Beneath this tomb his mangled body's laid,
Cut, stabb'd, and murdered by Joshua Slade,
His ghastly wounds a horrid sight to see,
And hurl'd at once into eternity.

What faults you've seen in him take care to shun, And look at home, enough there's to be done; Death does not always warning give,

Therefore be careful how you live."

In St. Mary's churchyard, York, to the memory of a young maid, who was accidently drowned, Dec. 24th, 1696. The inscription is said to be written by her lover :

"Nigh to the river Ouse, in York's fair city,
Unto this pretty maid Death show'd no pity;
As soon as she'd her pail with water fill'd
Came sudden Death, and life like water spill'd."

In Norwich:—

"Mr. BRYANT LEWIS,

Who was barbarously murdered upon the Heath near Thetford, Sep. 13, 1698.

Fifteen wide wounds this stone veils from thine eyes, But reader, hark! their voice doth pierce the skies. Vengeance, cried Abel's blood, against cursed Cain, But better things spake Christ when he was slain. Both, both cries Lewis's 'gainst his barbarous foe, Blood, Lord, for blood, but save his soul from woe." Orchard's Epitaphs.

In Sunbury church, a village on the banks of the Thames :

"Under this pwe (pew) on the right hand lyeth the bodye of RICHARD BILLINGSLEY, Gentleman, of the parish of St. Martin's, Westminster, who was unhappily drowned on the 15th of September, 1689."

At All Saints, Hastings:

"To the memory of GEORGE SIMPSON, master mariner, of Burlington, Yorkshire, died Aug. 24, 1809, aged 26 years; shot by the enemy near Beechy Head.

I think nothing strange that happens unto all';
My lot to day, to-morrow your's may fall.

I was changed, and in a moment fell,

I had not time to bid my friends farewell."

Inscription on the monument of the JERMYS, in Wymondham church :

"Near this spot lie the remains of ISAAC JERMY, of Stanfield Hall, in this parish, Esq., late Recorder of Norwich, who died Nov. 28th, 1848, aged 59.

Also, of ISAAC JERMY JERMY, Esq., his only son, who died Nov. 28th, 1848, aged 27.

In St. Paul's Cathedral churchyard is the following inscription on a stone:—

"To the Memory of

BENJAMIN BROOKSON, Junior, aged 21,
The eldest Son of Mr. Benjamin Brookson,
of Dolly's Beef Steak House,
(Paternoster Row.)

who was unfortunately drowned near Kew Bridge,
on the 7th of July, 1816.
This simple record of his untimely Fate
was erected by his afflicted Father,
as a sacred testimony of his

Paternal Feelings for the loss of his beloved
and lamented Son.

Reader, beneath this tributary stone
The ashes of a youthful victim lie,

Whose early years with virtuous lustre shone,
Whose Fate recalls the sympathetic sigh.

He sought, oppress'd by Summer's sultry sun,

The grateful coolness of the crystal wave;
And found where Richmond's rapid currents run,
On Thames' deceitful shore, a watery grave.

Confiding in that Providence above

Which guides the course of man's mysterious doom, O'erwhelm'd with grief, a sorrowing Father's love Has rais'd this unadorned and simple tomb."

DIVINES.

WILLIAM SANCROFT, archbishop of Canterbury in 1678, was born at Fressingfield, in Suffolk. When James II., as an introduction to popery, issued his declaration for liberty of conscience, Sancroft and six other bishops, remonstrating against the king's declaration, were committed to the tower, when, in a few weeks after they were tried and acquitted; and afterwards refusing to acknowledge the prince and princess of Orange as king and queen, he was deprived of his dignity. He retired to Fressingfield, and died there; he was buried near the chancel of that church, where his tomb is to be seen, with the following inscription upon it, written by himself:

(On a small square marble tablet at the top.) "St. Matthew xxiv. 27. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

(At the foot of the tomb.)
