" Stop, brother soldier, as you pass by,
And read of one that here doth lie.
He died in his prime, as plainly yon may see,
And this is the truth of his pedigree-
He oft was prov'd a soldier in the field,
And his conduit always was to abhor to sly or yield j
'Twas his delight, both early and late,
To be submiiiive to a soldier's fate ;
But striking was his death,, as you' 11 underitand,
'Twas by a it.roke of the Almighty's hand ;
'Twas by the falling of his hut
The thread of him, his wife, and children's lives, were
cut.
Brothers all, to whom life and itrength are given,
Mult, like him, submit to the will of God in Heaven.
And, to-the honour of his fame,
This was erected by his brother soldiers, in mem'ry of
his name."

windows appear in the middle of the print.

mense pile, supported by brick buttresfes. The
