Terese: Cotton, and Samuel ather were interred in this vault, "Tis the tomb of our fathcrs, Mather—Crockers, 7. died Aug. 2, 1223, Feb. 13, ¥ eget Sooo 24, 1785, ret. 72, This vault contains the remains of many of the descendants of the Mathers. Within trenty-five years at least four interments have been made in it, and the last was only twelve years ago. Near the Mather tomb is that of the Ellis family, which is shaded by the famous Na- polkon Willow, said to have been grown from a slip brought from the tree at the gnaveof Bonaparte at St. Helens. The place abounds in curious epitaphs, as: “‘James Seward, grandson of James and Catharine Seward, died Sept. 27, 1792, act. 6 months. Hebore a lingering sickness with patience, ad met the King of Terrors with a. smile.” And : Asister of Sarah Lucas lyeth bere, ‘Whom 1 did love most dear: And pow her soul bath took its flight, Ang bid ber spightfui foes good night. Old Copp’s Hill burying-ground has had some queer sextons. Sextons must have tombs as well as other people, and, in several instances, they have appropriated other peo- He's tombs, turned out the rightful tenants, mdoceupied them with theirown dead. It is observable that a sexton, when he steals a tomb and commences an action of ejectment or forcible entry and detainer, always takes the best to be found. Thus the costly and elaborately wrought and sculptured tomb in which once reposed ‘tthe mortal part” of one William Clark, whose many virtues were chronicled in elegant phrase on the stone which proved unfortunately not. to be his last resting-place, was seized possession of by Sexton Samuel Winslow, who caused his own name to be inscribed above that of the wretched Clark, as proprietor of all the vir- tues ascribed to him, ousted Clark, his sisters, his cousins, and his aunts, and, with rare im- pudence, had himself buried in the tomb he had stolen. Of course, descendants of William the Conqueror are to be found—that is to say, if their ashes are recognizable—in Old Copp’s Hill. There is a, tomb on which is repre- fented the coat of anns of Hugo de Mount- ford, “a Norman who, in 1066, commanded the cavalry of William at the battle of Hast- ings.” In the northwest angle of the grounds lie the remains of Edmund Hartts, the builder of the frigate Constitution—Old Ironsides. The spot is marked by a plain white stone upon which is engraved simply his name,— evidently a modest man, or perhaps his friends were grieved because he possessed no toat of arms, and so desired that his memory ould fade away. In striking contrast with the Hartts head- Mone inscription is the following, ona large monument: ‘Charles Jarvis died Nov. 15, 18i,aged 59 years. A Physician, aStatesman, Patriot, and an honest man, whose dignified deportment, sublime eloquence, unbounded philanthropy, and other virtues endears his memory to his fellow-citizens.” Here is evidence in an epitaph of a degree of faith ‘hich puts modern Boston skepticism to the blush: 4n angel's hand can snatch ber from the grave. } 8 of ages can't confine her there. The tombstone of Capt. Thomas Lake pre- serves the legend that -he “was an eminently faithful servant of God, and one of a public wirit” That “he was perfidiously slain by ye Indians at Kennebec Aug. 14, 1676, and interred here ye 13 October following.” A tavity appears in the headstone which is said formerly to have contained the bullets taken from the good Captain’s body, but bad boys with their knives have dug out the lead. Near Lake’s grave is that of Nicholas Upshall, Who deserves to be gratefully remembered because of his opposition to the Quaker per- secutions, He was guilty of bribery, for Which he was banished by Gov. Endicott. p Hebribed the keeper of the Boston Jail to feed two Quaker women imprisoned there, and so saved them from starvation. Gov.

They are all members of the Chester Bed and Blanket Society, and they all denied that the funds of the Society had been abused for political purposes. Nevertheless they did not disguise their political sympathies. One remarked of her district that it was inhab- ited by very rough people,—mostiy Liberals! Another said, ‘She would persuade the people to vote for Conservatives rather than Liberals, ust as she would persaade them to go to church instead of chapel.’ Now this combination of active benevolence with keen party spirit runs dangerousiy close to bribery, as we have seen in the Plymouth and other fingrant cases. No doubt there is in Chester, asin other places, a great deal of fussy benevolence, which conceives itself entitled to interfere in all the affairs, temporal as well as spiritual, of poor people. It is hardty possible that ‘visiting ladies’ should keep their tongues off political subjects during an election, and if their conduct is misconstrued they have tnemselyes to thank for it, Ladies who take akeen interest in politics would be well advised in leaving the work of distributing beds and blankets to their less gifted sisters.” “Tne nearest approach to a complete negro ditty which I have been able to strike,” writes Mr. Thomas Hughes, from East Tennes- gee, “is one which a young Texan cattle-driver gives, with a wonderfal roll pf the word “chariot” which cannot be written. It runs: “De Debble he chase me round a stump, Gwine for to carry me homie: He catches me most at obers Jump, Gwine for to carry me home. Bwing low, sweet chay-o-t, Gwine for to carry me home, “ ‘De Debbie he make one grab at me, Gwine, etc..
