There is a legend that a merchant once determined to ruin

at last he was obliged to give up in despair of ever effecting
his purpose in that way."
A very beautiful stained glass I been
window has
erected in Trinity Cherch, Chesterfield, by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, in memory of bis father. It is a triplet of the
early English, or the style adopted in the thirteenth century:
Each window is enclosed by a rich border, and the genera
ground is massive ruby, on which is displayed flowering
scroll-work of the character so peculiar to this period, and
which prevails in the A'Becket glass in Canterbury Cathe-
dral. In the midst of these geometrical forms are margin'
ally developed, so as to create panels of various congenial
forms, all of which are filled with mosaics and monograms
of ton initials of the memorialised. The chief panels are,
lio7 ever, filled with Scripture subjects. The inscription at
the foot of the centre window is as follows emorial
