The English is so much more terse and sententious, besides involving a much higher moral signification, that it may well be an original itself; but in that case, the verbal coincidence is striking enough. J. S. WARDEN. _Latin Verses prefixed to Parish Registers._--On a fly-leaf in one of the registers of the parish of Hawsted, Suffolk, is the following note in the handwriting of the Rev. Sir John Cullum, the rector and historian of the parish: "Many old register books begin with some Latin lines, expressive of their design. The two following, in that of St. Saviour's at Norwich, are as good as any I have met with: 'Janua, _Baptismus_; medio stat _Taeda jugalis_ Utroque es felix, _mors_ pia si sequitur.'" Can any of your correspondents contribute other examples? BURIENSIS. _Napoleon's Bees_ (Vol. vii., p. 535.).--No one, I believe, having addressed you farther on the subject of the Napoleon Bees, the models of which are stated to have been found in the tomb of Childeric when opened in 1653, "of the purest gold, their wings being inlaid with a red stone, like a cornelian," I beg to mention that the small ornaments resembling bees found in the tomb of Childeric, were only what in French are called _fleurons_ (supposed to have been attached to the harness of his war-horse). Handfuls of them were found when the tomb was opened at Tournay, and sent to Louis XIV. They were deposited on a green ground at Versailles. Napoleon wishing to have some regal emblem more ancient than the _fleur-de-lys_, adopted the _fleurons_ as bees, and the green ground as the original Merovingian colour. This fact was related to me as unquestionable by Augustin Thierry, the celebrated historian, when I was last in Paris. WM. EWART. University Club. * * * * * {31} Queries.
