Sacred To the Memory of Captain PATRICK CAMPBELL, Late of the 42nd Regiment, Who died on the xiii of December, MDCCCXVI., Aged eighty-three years, A True Highlander, A Sincere Friend, And the best Deerstalker Of his day. A gravestone in Barwick-in-Elmet, Yorkshire, states:-- Here lies, retired from busy scenes, A first lieutenant of Marines, Who lately lived in gay content On board the brave ship "Diligent." Now stripp'd of all his warlike show, And laid in box of elm below, Confined in earth in narrow borders, He rises not till further orders. The next is from Dartmouth Churchyard:-- THOMAS GOLDSMITH, who died 1714. He commanded the "Snap Dragon," as Privateer belonging to this port, in the reign of Queen Anne, in which vessel he turned pirate, and amass'd much riches. Men that are virtuous serve the Lord; And the Devil's by his friends ador'd; And as they merit get a place Amidst the bless'd or hellish race; Pray then, ye learned clergy show Where can this brute, Tom Goldsmith, go? Whose life was one continued evil, Striving to cheat God, Man, and Devil. We find the following at Woodbridge on JOSEPH SPALDING, Master and Mariner, who departed this life Sept. 2nd, 1796, aged 55:-- Embark'd in life's tempestuous sea, we steer 'Midst threatening billows, rocks and shoals; But Christ by faith, dispels each wavering fear, And safe secures the anchor of our souls. In Selby churchyard, the following is on JOHN EDMONDS, master mariner, who died 5th Aug. 1767:-- Tho' Boreas, with his blustering blasts Has tost me to and fro Yet by the handiwork of God, I'm here enclosed below. And in this silent bay I lie With many of our fleet, Until the day that I set sail My Saviour Christ to meet. Another, on the south side of Selby churchyard:-- The boisterous main I've travers'd o'er, New seas and lands explored, But now at last, I'm anchor'd fast, In peace and silence moor'd. In the churchyard, Selby, near the north porch, in memory of WILLIAM WHITTAKER, mariner, who died 22nd Oct., 1797, we read-- Oft time in danger have I been Upon the raging main, But here in harbour safe at rest Free from all human pain. South-hill Church, Bedfordshire, contains a plain monument to the memory of Admiral BYNG, who was shot at Portsmouth:-- To the perpetual disgrace of public justice, The Honourable JOHN BYNG, Vice Admiral of the Blue, fell a martyr to political persecution, March 14, in the year 1757; when bravery and loyalty were insufficent securities for the life and honour of a naval officer. The following epitaph, inscribed on a stone in Putney Churchyard, is nearly obliterated:--
