It is a singular and somewhat amusing fact, that 

 the late rector of Stonegrave, and his parish clerk, 

 had the unusual number of 15 children each ; a sin. 

 gular and remarkable coincidence, which can scarce- 

 ly be paralleled in the annals of any other parish 

 in the kingdom. Had they lived in the patriarchal 

 times, or even in the less remote periods of border 

 warfare, or baronial contention, when the security 

 of families depended in so great measure npon their 

 numbers, how peculiarly applicable would have 

 been the concluding verses of the 127 Psalm, " Like 

 " as the arrows in the hand of the giant, even so ar 

 *' the young children. Happy is the man that hath 

 ** his quiver full of them ; they shall not be ashamed 

 " when they speak with their enemies in the gale"
