_Cupid Crying_.--The beautiful epigram upon this subject, which
appeared in No. 11 p. 172., was kindly quoted, "for its extreme
elegance," by the _Athenæum_ of the 26th January, which
produced the following communication to that journal of Saturday
last:--
"Will the correspondent of the 'NOTES AND QUERIES,' whose pretty
epigram appears copied into your _Athenæum_ of Saturday last,
accept the following as a stop-gap pending the discovery of the
Latin original?
"En lacrymosus Amor! Fidem quia perdidit arcum
Vapulat! Exultans Cælia tela tenet.
Ast illam potuitne Puer donare sagittis?
Subrisit:--Matrem credidit esse suam.
"[Greek: Amorphota]. 5."
_Miry-land Town._--As an addition to the note of "J.R.F." (p.
167. No. 11.) on Miry-land Town, and by way of corroboration of his
reading, I may just mention that the towns and villages in the Weald
of Kent are familiarly spoken of as places "down in the mud," by the
inhabitants of other parts of the country. Those who are acquainted
with the Weald will agree that this designation is not undeserved.
