The inscription, of which the first eight lines are by Arthur Hugh ana the final four by Charles Clough. IS as follows:
 Of all thy kindred at thy dying day Were none to speed thee on thy sol
 emn way:
 Yet ever lives distinct and deeply dear Their sight with them of this thy
 corner here;
 Each heart so oft hath come ana
 sought and seen
 That ocean space hath shrunk to
 naught between,
 And more their own seems now the
 strangers shore
 Then when with thee they dwelt on
 it before. Since God doth early break the golden
 bowl,
 And loose the silver cord that links
 the soul
 To earth, His will be done Oh. may
 he rise
 A chosen vessel to a heavenly prize
 The tombstone also records that Clough died of strangers fever"
 An exceedingly interesting inscrip tion Is that on the grave of Gen Charles Cotosworth Pinckney, One of the founders of the American Repub- lie We are told that in war he was the companion in arms and the friend of Washington; in peace he enjoyed his unchanging confidence AS a statesman he bequeathed to his coun- try the sentiment Millions for de fense, not cent for tribute" a re- cord since often challenged, though still given by Bartlett as: Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute" We are also informed, in a certain charming old fashioned way. that with all the accomplishments ot the gentleman he combined the virtues of the patriot and the pety of the Chris tian. His name is recorded in the his tory of his country, inscribed on the charter of her liberties" Which is. surely record rich enough.
 On the East Wall the inscription to the memory of the late Rector of this church and Bishop of the Dioces." Theodore Dehon, is a fine example in this sort. His genius. learning. and eloouence, added lustre to a character formed by Christian principles, and a constant study of the Christians model He is credited with discretion. firmness, moderation, sanctity. urban ity. goodness. cheerfulness. and these. of course. rendered him the delight of his friends. the admiration of his country. the glory and hope of the churCh.'
 A quaint and delicious touch of Charleston is given in the inscription on the grave of Harriott Pinckney. daughter of Gen Charles Cotesworth Pinckney. She was horn on the 17tn December in the year 1776. in the dawn of the National Glory and died 18th March. 1866. at the close of a new Revolution"
 Of an amiable and excellent wife it is reCorded that she was liberally endowed with the qualities of the head heart, and person which most adorn and endear the loveliest of her sex"
 The inscription in the vestihule. giving a brief history of the church IS of great interest.

 This is a record of which to be proud in quiet Christian way. The old building. in its beauty and fine pro portions. suggesting the long and eventful flow of the life of the city. stands as one of the most interesting in the South and in the United States It is well that MISS Jervey has had the thought and the industry to preserve the heart or the
