Brass Plates in Churches. — It may be interest- 

 ing to C. E. D. and J. D. (Vol. xii., pp. 164. 37-2.) 

 to know, that in the parish church of Llanrwst, 

 near Conway, North Wales, is affixed to the pul- 

 pit, a brass plate, the inscription of which I do 

 not remember; but the date, I think, is 1725. Ife 

 is, I believe, a coffin plate ; and was, I was in- 

 formed, taken from off" the coffin immediately after 

 the interment, by the express desire of the de- 

 ceased, to serve as a memorial. K. H. S.

" Chi nasce, muor, Oime, chc pass' acerbo ! 

 Colto vien 1' huom, cosi ordin' il Cielo. 

 Mose mori, Mose gia car de verbo. 

 Santo sia ogn' huom, con puro zelo. 

 Ch' alia niet^, gia mai senza riserbo. 

 Arriu' huom, ma vedrau in cangiar pelo, 

 Se fin habiam, ch' al Clelo vero ameno, 

 Va r huomo va, se viva assai, se metio."
