_Inscriptions in Parochial Registers._--Very quaint and pithy mottoes are

sometimes prefixed to parochial registers. I know not whether any

communications on this subject are to be found in your pages. The following

are examples, and may perhaps elicit from your readers additional

information.

Cherry-Hinton, Cambridgeshire:

"Hic puer ætatem, hic Vir sponsalia noscat,

Hic decessorum funera quisque sciat."

Ruyton of the Eleven Towns, Salop:

"No flatt'ry here, where to be born and die,

Of rich and poor is all the history:

Enough, if virtue fill'd the space between,

Prov'd, by the ends of being, to have been."
