AN UuTspoKEN EpTAPH.-A remarkably out
spoken one, from a monument is Horsleydown
Church, in Cumberland, runs as follows:
"Uere lie the bodies of Thomas Bond and Mary,
his wife. She was temperate, ,chaste and charitable;
but she was proud, peevish and passionate. She
husband and child. whom she loved. seldom saw
her C. uutenance without disg usting frown, while
desnng smile Her behavior was discreet towards
strangers, but imprudent in her family. Abr ad
her conduct was influenced by good breeding, but
at home by i'll temper.
And 80 the epitaph runs to considerable length,
acknowledging the good qualities Of the poor wo-
man, but killing each by setting against il some
peculiarly unamisble trait. l confess tkat my
feeling is quite turned in her favor by the unmanY
assault which her brother (the author of the in
scriptiou,) has thus made upon the poor dead wo-
man If you cannot honestly say good OF su-
man being on the gravestone. then say nothing at
