HleTOUY OF COALS. Coals are found in several parts of the continent of Eu- rope, but die principal mines arc in this country. They have been -ed and wro.ight in Newfoundland, ("ape Breton, a d in some of the provinces of New England. China abounds in them, and they are well known in Tartury, and in the island of Madagascar. We find (says Brand) express mention of coals, used as ) Y!,a",s ?t'D, ill a fuel by artiifcers about 2U00-y:;ars ago, in the writings ef T'hreophastus, the scholar of Aristotle, who, in his book Cl stones, gives the substances; though some writers have ru t scnpled to affirm, that coal was unknown to the An- ci.nt Britons, yet others have adduced proofs to the con- which sreui to carry along with them little less than conviction. The fu st charter for the license of digging coals was granted by Kitlg Henry III. in the year 1239 it was there se a coal and was prohibited at London bv proclamation. Breweis, dyers, & other artifi- cers, who had occasion for great iires, had "found their Eeconnt in substituting our fossil for dry wood and all cod bnt so general was the prejudice against it at that time, that the Nobles and Commons assembled in Parlia- ment, complained against the use thereof as a public nuisance, which was thought to corrupt the air with its smoke and stink. Shortly after this it was the common f el at the King's Palace in London and in 1325 a trade was opened between Fiance and England, in which corn waimported, and coal exported. Stowein his" Annals" savs, within thirty years last fha nice dames of London would not come into any house or roome where sea coales were burned nor villiaglyeat of the meat that was either serf or roasted with sea coal five." Tlnmouth Priory had a colliery at Elwick, which in 1330 was let at the yearly rent of five pounds; in 1530 it was let for twenty pounds a year, on condition that not more than twenty chaldrons should be drawn in a day and ci,lit years after,-at fifty pounds a year, without re- striction on the quantity to be wrought. In Richard the Second's time, Newcastle coals were sold at Whitby, at three shillings and four-pence per chaldron; and in the time of Henry VIII. their price was twelvepence a chal- dron in Newcastle; in London about four shillings, and in France they sold for thirteen nobles per chaldron. Qnecn Elizabeth obtained a lease of the manors and coal mines of Gateshead and Wickam, which she soon trans- ferred to the Eail of Leicester. He assigned it to his secretary, Sutton, the founder of the Charter-house, who Ptso ass,g,iii-ent of it to Sir W. Siiddeli and others, for the use of the mayor and burgesses of Newcastle. Duties were laid upon this article to assist in buikliug St. Paul's Church and fifty parish churches in London, after the great fire and in 1877, Charles II. granted to his na- tural son, Charles Lenox, Duke of Richmond, and his heirs, a duty of one shilling a chaldron on coals, which contin ed in his family till it was purchased by Govern- ment in 1S30. The collieries in the vicinity of Newcastle are perhaps the most valuable and extensive in Europe, and atf'.rd nearly the whole supply of the metropolis and of those counties on the eastern coast deficient in coal stra- ta thus— It The rim ore Jlere useless, like the miser's brighter hoard, is from its prison brought and set abroad, The frozen horns to cheer, to minister To needful sustenance and polished arts— Hence are the hungry fed, the naked clothed, The wintry damps dispell'd and social mirth Exults andgiow. before (he pleasing hearth."

THE PROGRESS OF INTEMPERANCE. I was once a respectable man. I can very well remem- ber the first step which led me to what I am now. It was en a Sunday night—yes, Sunday night-for what law of God and man will rot he, who is beginning to yield to the power of temptation, make subordinate to the law of his appetites ? It was on a Sunday night that 1 was decoyed into a tavern, and there, first, when I was at the tender age of fifteen, with intellectual promise as fair as ever made a parent's heart bound with joy, my friend, who was the Ji-ost detested enemy lever had, though but dust" now, handed me a cup. I remember the light and joyous sensations which bounded through my brain. I feit a delirious delirinm, was pleased with every body round me, felt brave enough to march to the cannon's mouth. All this, however, passed offoiitli the first sleep, and i-vciild never been thought of again, but for the dreadful fact that then and there I got a taste of that Circean cup which has i H but prisoned roe to death, and will soon finish me. That was the first ir, a series of steps downward. I went home every night with high ideas, and witeii in the mor- nmg I rose, it soon became necessary, after a kind of waking, giddy doze through the forenoon, to go to the .sideboard. This alarmed my mother and sisters. They thought it strange, and remonstrated but I des; ised the idea of a tiplei- and was angry because they ex- (1, tlicir fears, after they had seen me do it a few times, that I wnidd form the habit of drinking. Had I bc< n just to those fears I should not be what I am now. Let not the young man who is just Requiring the taste, net disregard those gentle admonitions. They are the suggestions of guardian angels, which, if ebeved, will open to him the path of peace, health, con- tentment, and honour. If disobeyed, he is destined to trouble, discontent, disgrace, sickness, and death. I could go no w a d eail -for my glass, 'ir-.at and he treated. It was gev.tlenmvly;»m\ why should not I be .a gentleman ? I was ^setting ii'sv it: life, and must be able a Wamiy, ig, or whatever the fashionable drink was. Wl ei'i at length I began to. be somewhat alarmed at this surprising progress in dissipation, I resolved tobstain for a limited period. Then my ambition would kindle up, for I wished ardently to be a great man. I studied ear- nestly for a time the scienc ofiaw and politics; but when the aiJoted period expired, forward I would rush again into the channel, like a current that, having been dam- med up, breaks over thefraH barriers with fresh impe- tuosity. I got married, for a woman, affectionate woman, will not hear of faults in him she loves. He will soon reform. He leves me to well to make me unhappy. lie knows I shall not like it. He pi-I Ah, deceived woman Love may be stronger than death, bat the power of the cup is stronger than both. What! a drinking man, a man that drinks five glasses of bra dy a day, with plea- sure, is not far from that point when he win sacrifice health, wealth, pride, patriotism, reputation, Ins, life, every thing f. r that damnable thirst. I loved my wife as much as man could; I was so sensitive to honour and I reputation as any; but I tell you I conld, when the Uabit of di inkirg thoroughly f rmcd, (which was before, J was aware of it,) have sacrificed any thing. I have ofte-s come home, and found my wife weeping in silence, a si ¡ lence that at first used to gore my soul, but liquor sror. hardened any thing that looked like tenderness. She. has told me the children wanted clothes, but "Curse'the children," said I, I wanted my drink, and I'll have it." One night I stayed until two o'clock at the tavern, playing cards, and who should come in, at that dead hour of the night, but my wife, with her infant in her arms! This is a fact. Mv God If my bloud (.hdll run coJ! and cllrdled at my heart! Is this woman? is this my wife?" I exclaim- ed, Never before did I realize the full power of female virtue. My profane companions and myse f were per- fectly abashed. I cursed her, and told her with severe threats, to go home. "That I will not," said she, rising in the dignity of injured innocence, though with a trepidation that shook her whole frame like an aspen, and lioitliiig het- trembling infant out to me this is your child, and X will not stir one step from this spot, till you take it and go home with mp." She then turned to my companions, and •spbraided them as my destroyers, in a strain of invective that made them cower like so many discovered and dis- armed assassins before the messenger of retributive jus- tice. We separated, ashamed of each other and our deeds of darkness, and almost sobered by this strange and astounding apparition. I obeyed implicitly; for nothing makes a man more mean-spirited than the habit of drinking. We went home a id retired to r st; but, waking in the night, with a hor- rible thirst, I tottered, to the bottle, and drank went to sleep again slept till ten o'clock and, when I rose, felt dizzy and bewildered, wretched, and hopeless! S) my days are passing! Give tip the practice I will not. I cannot iive without it. I have no character to lose, no mind to study, no business to employ m. no ambition to inspire, no love excepting for brandy, gin, whisky, ram— any thing which will supply, while it continually inflames more and more this dreadful thirst. Having sacrificed all that is worth having here, it matters little what I do. I would errs; a mine that has a kindled match applied to it, I would march before an exploding cannon to get at the bottle. Iwouldsacriacemysodforitiandaiithis is the result of one fatal taste! This is the end of the so- cial glass. Such is the melancholy tale of one who has drawn a picture, to which, alas there are but too many ori- ginals. v Æ'i!i2 $IIY

WALKING THE STREETS. There is a great art in walking the streets of London the countryman is a lung while before he gets into the I practice, and his awkwardness, in this respect, is one of the marks-by which he is very readily distinguished, even if he have doffed his country-cut coat and hat, and ima- gines he is altogether one of the 'right sort.' How quickly .will a pickpocket fix him in his eye, and keep close, to his heels in a crowd for a whole street together. The habit of gazing at shop-windows, and at every trifling novelty in the great thoroughfares, an! the want of that utter indifference to every thing but the object to which he is journeying, distinguishes the indigenious individual from the Stranger ia the street. The g-nuine Londoner is an absent man in the most crowded parts of the city. rJe p oceeds on his way coolly, casting up his bills h his mind, arrangin to-morrow's business, or projecting new schemes of profit, as unmoved and abstracted as if he were walking alone across a desert. He never jostles those he meets either right or left, but proceeds along clear of porters and draymen, gliding with the current of vitality that flows on his own way at the general rate, nor break- ing in upon the counter-marches who face him in a conti- nued stream; he could peruse a book or a newspaper uninterruptedly during hi-* progress from Charing Cross to the India House, in the midst of thousands, undisturbing and undisturbed—his habitua! ease in snch cases being the distinguishing traits of his character. Thesojouruerof the provinces on the other hand, when visiting the me- tropolis, is sadly puzzled to steer clear of the multitudes he meets. There is a story of one of them on record, who coming into Fleet-street from a cross court, mounted the step of a door at noon-day, to wait, as he said, until the. people coming out of church had gone by." It is pleasant to see him launched forth in the metropolis for the first time, raw from Cumberland or Westmoreland. Now he gets into the current of people passing in the opposite way to himseif, and finds himself pushed off the pavement into the middle of the street—now he staggers among those who have their right hand to the wall, and not keeping the pace of the rest of the passengers, is pushed forwarder jostled or stopping at a window to see some common- place thing, obstructs the passengers, & is pushed through the glass, or loses his pocket handkerchief. Disasters are for ever occurring. He is bewi'dered by the noise and- confusion around him, and is happy to return and take his rest at his inn. It is scarcely credible to a Londoner, but there are well-authenticated instances of temporary mad- ness in persons bred up in the privacy and solitude of remote country villages, from being left alone and getting bewilder, d in the streets of th e metropolis. The great secret of walking the streets in comfort, is an adherence to the rules established by custom, namely to take the inside of the pavement when the right hand i. towards the wall, and the outside when it is towards the street,—to catch the pace of the going or returning cur- rent, as the case may be, and never to attempt giving others the law, but to proceed with what Johnson caiis the tide of human existence." Never stop to listen to street minstrels, nor stand look- ing up at the figures of St. Dunstan's Church if you do you will infallibly discover the meaning of the proverb, being penny wise and pound foolish. Never delay your homeward steps at a late hour, by going out of your direct path upon seeing a mob asscm- bled, or on hearing the watchman's rattle proceed imper- turbably. Never give alms, nor pay the least attention to night- beggars, nor notice the appeals of strangers, nor suffer any conversation to be maintained with you by them. If a drayman bring his whip across your eyes, do not stop to resent it, unless you are sure you are the better man of the two, and have little money in your pocket for the byestanders to rob you of. If yon are right in these respects, knock him down at once—you have no better mode of obtaining justice. If a porter drive his load against your spectacles, for- cing them into your nose, overturn him, burthen and all. If you are not strong enough, you must pocket the injury. Never buy a cheap box of cigars, a watch, a ring, a pen- cil case, or similar articles, when offered you by any one in the streets. • Never buy of a street Jew, not because of his faith, but because all Christians having united to persecute him, he very fairly thinks himseif bound to retaliate by taking them in whenever he can.New Monthly Magazine,

A charge of unnatural cruelty, practised by a mo- ther against her own child, now stands for trial at the Court of Assizes, at Carpentras, niore revolting, if possible in its details, than even those who have occa- sioned such a shock to public feeling in our own me- tropolis. The evidence already given before the Court ofNismes, whence the case has been removed by appeal, establishes the following facts:—Joseph MeiÏ. lert, a private soldier, died a short time since, leaving a widow and an only son. The widow, it seems, after her husband's decease, formed an illicitconnexion with an invalided soldier named Martin Delage, and then the ili-tieatirient of the chiid commenced. For several months past no one had seen or heard any thing of hirn^ till (,,n, tll)e 22d of May last, his aunt, a widow named Taoupel, who had long" suspected what was going on, succeeded in making her way into her sister- in law's apartment during her temporary absence.— Not seeing'"anything of the child (now about seven years old,) she gave vent to an exclamation of disap- pointment, when from behind a chest, so placed as to confine it in a corner of the room, np rose a wretched little being, which it was difficult at first sight to pio- nouiice human. It was entirely destitute of clothing; a cord round its neck spcured it to the wall, the great- er part of the hair had fallen off its head from disease, and the hones were starting through a skin the colour of which it was impossible to ascertain, from the filth and ordure with which it was covered. This miserable object, at sight of a stranger, began shrieking in the most piteous tone for bread. The poor woman, who could not doubt it was her nep -ew reduced to this deplorable state, gave the alarm, and the officers of justice were, called in, who took the unnatural mother and her paramour into custody on their return home, !)eeti previously conveyed to an hos- pital, where it has received eveiy attention, and though dreadfully emaciated, the medical men under whose :are it is placed do not despair of its ultimate recovery. eVom the facts which have transpired, it appears that this unhappy victim of parental cruelty has been sub- jected to a long-continued course of privation and ill-treatment at the hands of both the prisoners from he 4th of November, the day when he was last seen, tp to that on which his situation was so fortunately discovered. From the child's statement.It appears that it was no uncommon thing- with these monsters, when annoyed by its cries for food, to force it portion >f the filtil that surrounded it into its inotuh, with other cruelties so horrible and disgusting. SERIOUS AFFAIR IN MONAGHAN-Loss OF LIVES.—- 0.1 the, night of the 23.1 uit. a large assemblage of R'.bbonmen, attended by women and children, took place near BaHihain, county or iVlonaghan. They had several sorts of music, a considerable number of lire-arms, and three flags, and were regularly divided into companies, in military order. Captain Jeunison, a resident magistrate, having received information of this assemblage, and from the state of the country apprehending that evil might arise from their being premitted to proceed on their expedition, brought a small detachment of police to the spot, and entreated the Ribbomnen to disperse. Notwithstanding the most earnest and repeated requests from Capt. Jen- nison that they would not compel him to employ force, the desperadoes set him completely at defiance. In consequence, he was obliged, to read the riot act, and ordered the police to lire. The fire took eifect-one wonnn was killed on the spot, a ball penetrated the body of a man, and has since been extracted, and four men are missing who it is supposed were killed by the fire of the police, and carried off by their companions. Some persons, however, suspected that the inviduals now missing, have eloped. The police succeeded in taking three flags and other insignia, together with eight prisoners. The latter have been lodged in iVlonaghan gaol, to abide their trial at the next assizes.—Dublin Paper.- BALLOON FAILURE.—Mr. Green, the aeronaut, at- tempted to make an ascent, from the gas-yards, Devizes. on Monday evening, but -ivits unsti(.,cessfiii, owing to the insufficiency of gas. The intrepid adventurer, however, took his seat on a rope across the hoop at the bottom of the balloon, which ascended about 50 or 60 I feet, when the netting' becoming entangled in the wheel of the gasometer a rent of 3 or 4 yards was unde in the balloon, and Mr. (jr. was thrown against the pillar which supports the bridge, bdt 'escaped'with- a few slight bruises.—Mr. G. has made 57 ascents, and this is his first failure. He has announced his intention of making another attempt. There were nearly 2,000 persons in the gas-yard. About three weeks ago, as some mowers were cut- ting-grass in a meadow belonging to Mr. Maynard, of Piper's Inn, they found a landrail's nest with several eggs, which they brought to Mr. M. who placed them under a common hen which happened to be then sitting They were all duly hatched and followed the hen about exactly like her own brood, until some pigs unluckily got hold of them, and eat them all up, with the exception of one, which is now to be seen domes- ticated with the rest of the poultry. BOXING MATCH—Betaeen two Jlmrican Judges, fought in the Ball of the Legislative Body, and in the presence, of the Chief Justice —On the 16th April, says an American Paper, the Legislature of the State adjourned s'ine die. A fiacas occured on this occasion, disgmceful at least to the hero of the piece. Some ob- ser vations from Jtdg-e Purdv, relative to the affair of the Merchants' Bank, had, in the Course of the day, given offence to Judge Taylor. immediately after the adjournment, Judge Taylor walked round the table to Judge Purdy, & told him, in something of a low voice, that the Senate being adjourned, he met him as a private citizen, &- wished to know what he meant by his obser- vation, alluding to the above? Judge Purdy replied that he meant to tell the truth. Upon this Judge Tay- lor, salts ceremonie, struck him a violent blow with his fist upon the ribs, which staggered him considerably. Judge Purdy paused an instant, as if to collect himself —then seized a chair, and aimed a blow at the head of his antagonist, but was prevented from effecting it by the interference of thir brother Senotori. Judge Taylor then left the room, and as he went out of the her he said to Judge Purdy," You know where I live, S i I-. If you wish for satisfaction, you'll find me at home." The affray took place in the presence of about 100 witnesses. Within the bar were, besides the Senators, the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Spencer, and one or more Clergymen. But if a mail will not respect himself, how shall he respect others? DEATH OF ONE OF THP, CONSPIRATORS. —The following paragraph is copied from the Middlebury (Vt.) Paper:—•'Died at the poor-house, in the village Middlebury,last; Friday, George Sparrow, an Englishman, about 46. This unfortunate indvidual was, by his own confession, one of Thistlewood's coadjutors, engaged in what ",as c:ille-I I the (,ato-street conspiracy,' which was matured in London some twelve years since, and had for it its object the murder of the British ministry. The plot, as understood from the public prints of the time, went only to assassinate the King's ministers while at dinner at the Earl of Har- and thus obtain a reform in parliament; but, according to Sparrow's account, other and wide-spread mischiefs were contemplated by the conspirators. Sevel-ill of the traitors were arrested at a stable in Cato-street, (which was their uniform place of meet- ing,) and executed. George, with two or three others, narrowly escaped on beoard of a ship, and reached Buebeck. At that place rewards were soon offered for them; but George saved himself by coming into the States. He has lingered out a miserable life here being much of the time disordered or stupified by ardent spirits. He was however, a man of excellent natural powers, possessed a singular retentive memory, and had an almost inexhaustible fund of information. A SNUG DINNER PARTY.—At the licensed Victual- lers' dinner, on Thursday, upwards of Eighteen hundred persons belonging to that body, sattlown to dinner. At Union Hall police-office, on Tuesday, a man named Tancock, who admitted that he preached at Zion Chapel, was held to bail for keeping a disorderly house. The following circumstance occurred lately at Long Croydon, Bucks:—A brood of chickens having been destroyed by a rat, the hen enraged at the destruction of her young, new at her, destroyed, and, after a sharp conflict, killed him. The owners of all the principal paper-mills, last week intimated to their agents and the wholesale London stationers, a reduction of five per cent, from their pesent prices. At an estate in Oxfordshire of 1200 acres, not far from Wallingford, the game has for the last three or four years cost the landlord, though there is but little poaching, above 12s. a head .taking a brace of par- tridges as equal to a hare. The expence of game- keepers, &,C., of course constitutes the charges. Last week 700ib. of carrion beef was publicly burnt in Smithiield, on grid-irons. The master of the butcher's company informed the Magistrate that large quantites of the same kind of meat were bought by the sausage-makers. Several shopkeepers at Nottingham have received large orders, with half a Bank of England note in pay- ment, and a promise to send half oil ieceipt of tlii- goods ordered. Many of these orders have been duly executed but the other half notes not coming to hand, inquiries have been set on foot, and it is discovered that the half notes are forged. Saturday afternoon, a woman brought an old chair at a broker's in Golden lane, Cripplegate, and upon ripping the top off to have it covered, found concealed in one corner, 21. guineas—all Queen Ann' scoin- and a Bank £ o note, both tied up in a canvass bag. She gave for the chair eighteenpcnce. She is a widow and has a large family.— Globe. TYPES FOR THE BLIND.—The gold Vulcan medal of the Society of Arts has been presented to Air. G. Gib- son, of Birmingham, who, being blind himself, has in- vented a set ot types, whereby he can write down his thoughts, perform arithmetical operations, and com municate the results of then) not only to those who can see, but to persons labouring under the same privation with himself. Mi. Morris, a licensed victualler, was convicted, Sa- turday,, by the Board of Excise, in the mitigated pe- uiilty of fur mixing sugar and salt to adulterate ale. j It appears by a Parliamentary document that the number of persons rolled in the Cymmisiori of the Peace in England, and Wales amounts to 19,032. in Manchester, trade is become much,brisker than it-has been for to.;ie time past; but the scarceness ot cash is a matter of serious complaint. A field of hemp near Yeov.l, was completely cut to pieces with tne hail last week, and is about being ploughed up as a lost crop. LAW !—The tedium of proceedings in the Court oi Chancery was relieved a little by Mr. Riontagoe pro- ducing a Bristol solicitor's bill^for writing on a bank- ruptcy commission, two volumes folio I Tins he stated to have been swelled to sticii all etioi-iiiotis size by a cu- rious process, which he designated by the name oi post briefing. The plan is, to charge ior as many bnels, &c. as the conscience of the solicitor will allow, and it any of them should be demanded, they are to be iiialiti- factured to order!—Mr. Montague instanced one do- cument, which was written on paper made several years after its date. This he understood to beaccording to the lex loci of Bristol. The Lord Chancellor ob- served that if such a lex loci did exist, it wa" fortunate the punishment of the pillory was abo- I i e (I. Stt;t. AWFUL THREAT —A short time since, the clerk of a parish near Stroud, was ordered to announce in the Church, "that all parishioners who did not pay their tithes by a certain day would he prosecuted;" but from a mistake in his reading, he gave out that all those who did not pay by the time specified, were to be executedI STONEHENGE.A correspondent in the Gentleman's Magazine attempts to remove the difficulty which has 1 hitherto existed in accounting for the manner in which the ancient monuments at Stonehenge have beeit erect- ed, by proving that there would be no difficulty.at all to remove stones of the same size by the mechanical means daily employed for removing large weights. He calculates the weight of the largest stone at touebenge not to exceed 30 tons; while the weight of the stone on which the equestrian statue of the Czar Peter, at Pefefsburgh, is mounted, is computed to amount to about 1,430 tons and that was carried a distance of eight miles over most difficult roads. He states further, that Mr. Westmacott has now in his study a block of marble weighing nineteen tons, which was dragged by as many horses. The weight of the equestrian statue of Achilles in Hyde Park is about two tons heavier than the largest stone at Stonehenge, asd was taken from the artist's without horses and suspended in the air before lowered on its pedestal. As there are quar- ries within 20 miles of Stonehenge, those pieces of rock might have been carried to their present position with. out any very wonderful exertion of mechanical power. Mr. Nash is reported to be a ploprietor of the Re- gent's Canal, to the amonnt of X 100,000. CHARACTER OF THE ENGLISH.-A spirit of contradic- tion is the characteristic of this people. They love to he at war, but do not love to pay for their amusement; and they are no sooner at peace than they begin to complain that the newspapers are not worth reading, and rail at the French as if they wished to begin again. There is not a people on the earth who have a truer love for their royal family than the English, yet they caricature them in the most open and insolent manner. They boast of the freedom of the press, yet systemati- cally punish the author who publishes any thing obnox- ious, and the hookseller who sells it. They cry out against intolerance, and burn down the houses of those whom they regard as heretics. They love liberty, and go to vvar with their neighbours because they choose to become republicans. They hate the French, and ape all their fashion; ridicule their neologisms, and then'natuialize them; laugh at their inventions and then adopt them cry out against their political mea- sures, and then imitate them; and the common people, not to be behind hand with their betters in absurdity, boast as heartily of the roast beef of old England as if they were not obliged to be content with bread and po- tatoes. Well may punch be the favourite liquor of the English it is a. truly emblematic compound of contra- rieties.—American per. TOMB OF FRANKLIN.—On the 12th of December, we made a pilg-rimag-e to the tomb of Franklin—dear old Franklyn it consists of a large marble slab, laid flat on the ground, with nothing carved upon it but these words:— BENJAMIN T AND FRANKLIN. DEBOR AH J 1790. Franklin, it will be recollected, wrote a humorous epi- taph for himself; but his good taste and good sense shewed him how unsuitable to his living character it would have been to jest in such a place. After all, his literary works, scientific fame, and his undoubted pa- triotism, forms his best epitaph. Still it may be thought, he might have been distinguished in his own land by a more honourable resting-place than the ob- scure corner of an obscure burying ground, where bis hones lie indiscriminately with ordinary mortals; and his tomb, already well nigh hid in the rubbish, may soon be altogether lost. One little circumstance, how- ever, about this spot is very striking. No regular path has been made to the grave, which lies considera- bly out of the road but the frequent tread of visitors having pressed down the rank grass which grows in such places, the way to the tombstone is readily found without any guide.-Ccipt.
