Ridiculous Epitaphs,

A#H . -
The london Builder has been lately
calling phllic attention to the absurd cpl
taphsd IN En- ljsh church-yards. In addi-
ton to his owfA structures, the editor pub
fishes the letters Of two correspondents, on
same subject which contain a selection
Of epitaphs which, 10 this day. disfgure the
grave-yards. The following are specimens
From Dorchester {:
Here lies the body of --,an honest man,
And when he died he owed nobody nothing
From Bideford, Devonshire
The wedding,day appointed was,
And weddingGlolhes provided
But when thesday arrive dided,
She sickened and she die did.
From Ulverstone
Here lies my wife,
HIRE lies she;
Ha,Ieluiah,
HaleluIee
From Sevenoaks
Grim death took me without any warning,
1 was well at night, and died in the morning
From DOnCdSleT
Here lies two brothers, by misfortune surrounded,
One dy,d OF his wounds, and the other was drownded'
From a church yard at Chester :
Beneath this stone lies Catherine Gray,
Changed to a lfeless lump Of clay
BY earth and clay she got her pelf;
And now she's turned TO earth herself.
We weeping friends let me advise,
Ahate your tears and dry your eyes
For what awaits q food Of tears!
Who knows but in a course of years,
In some Ill pitcher or brown pan,
She in her shop, may be again.
The following is taken from Newcastle
church-yard :
Here lies Robin Wallas,
The king Of Good Fellows,
Clerk Of All hUlIows,
And maker of bellows.
He b .llows did make till the day of his death,
But he that made bellows could never make breath.
Here is a curious one from Hendon church
yard 49,.
Beneath tiis stone Tom Crossfeld lies,
Who cares not now who laughs or cries:
He laughed when sober, but when mellow
Was ii uar'em- scar'em needless fellow,
He gave to noue designed offence,
So I" II mi silt OIL nal y pense."
Most epitaph-writers try to find out thu
best qualities of the departed not SO thu
wri.er ofthe following, taken from a church
ward at Manchester :
Here lies John Hill,
A man of skill,
His age was five times ten:
He never did good,
Nor ever would,
Had he lived as long again.
And yet another
Sacred to the memory
or Mss Martha Gwynne,
Who was S very pure within
She burst the outward shell Of sin,
And Matched herself cherubim.

it contains, CHERRY PEcToRAL is known as the best Teme
dv extant for diseases of the throat and lungs, and IN ma
ny foreign countries, it is coming to be extensively used by
their most intelligent physicians. In Great Britain, france
and Germany, where the medical sciences have reached
their highest perfection, CHERRT PEcToRAL is intrOduced'
and in constant use in the armies, Hospitals, Alms Houses
Public Institutions, and in domestic practice, as the snrest
remedy their attending Physicians can employ for the more
dan ge,ous affections of the lungs. Also in milder cases,
