"_God's Acre_" (Vol. ii., p. 56.).--On looking back to some of your old numbers I find W. H. K. has never been answered with regard to the above application of the term to churchyards. Longfellow (Liverpool edition, 1850, p. 36.) commences one of his poems thus: "I like that ancient Saxon phrase, which calls The burial-ground _God's Acre_. It is just; It consecrates each grave within its walls, And breathes a benison o'er the sleeping dust." Whether this may be any help to W. H. K., I know not, but I cannot refrain from the Query--What is the Saxon phrase alluded to? W. H. P. {285} _Wages in the last Century_ (Vol. iii., p. 143.).--I have a note on this subject which is at A. A.'s service, extracted from the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for May 1732, vol. ii p. 771.:-- "WAGES (YEARLY) appointed by the Justices, A.D. 1732, to be taken by the Servants in the County of Kent. L s. d. Head Ploughman, Waggoner, or Seedsman 8 0 0 His Mate 4 0 0 Best Woman Servant 3 0 0 Second Sort 2 0 0 Second Ploughman 6 0 0 His Mate 3 0 0 Labourers by the Day, in Summer 0 1 2 Ditto, in Winter 0 1 0 _County of Gloucester._ Head Servant in Husbandry 5 0 0 Second Servant 4 0 0 Driving Boy under 14 Years 1 0 0 Head Maid Servant in Dairy, and Cook 2 10 0 Second Maid Servant 2 0 0 Mower in Hay Harvest, without Drink, per Day 0 1 2 With Drink, per Day 0 1 0 Mower and Reaper in Corn Harvest, with Diet, per Day 0 1 0 Other Day labourer, from Corn to Hay Harvest, with Drink only, per Day 0 0 8 With Diet, per Day 0 0 4 Without Diet or Drink, per Day 0 0 10 Carpenter, Wheelwright, and Mason, without Drink, per Day 0 1 2 With Drink, per Day 0 1 0." I send the note as I have it in my commonplace book; but I should think that the periodical from which the above is extracted, contains much that would suit A. A.'s purpose. E. S. TAYLOR.
