¦ " ^^¦ P " Sonnet on the Death of S . H + O lay hefr gently on her infant bier , Aild shed fond tears , and weave a funefral wreath Of the pale roses of the wintry year-Less lovely tMn the flower that fades beneath . Yet do not weep in anguish ! Let no breath Disturb the stillness of her blissful sleep , So beautiful ! we will not call it death , fiufc round her couch our silent vigils keep . Image of peaee * and innocence * and love ! We would not murmur at th y deep repose , Nor call thee ours the ills of life to prove , And taste the bitterness of mortal woes . O blest ! to feel thy guiltless course is run , Thy fadeless crown without the strife is woo ; K . Liverpool , December , IS , 1824 * ^^^^^^^^^^ H ^ BBm ^^^^^^^^^ ¦ ' "

support a minister in -this county . We have in this little place let thir ty sit ( ing's in the chapel , and -with collection ^ and so fo rth * we t&ay fully calculate on getting twelve or thirteen pounds a yfcar . "
Another gentleman , waiting from Penryn , says , — " In this borbiigh , where last year the chief magistrate forbade the town crier from giving notice of Mr . Mwtin ' 8 preaching , a room has , after much difficulty , been obtained ,, and though small and incon-
