"But truth, on which depends our main concern, That 'tis our shame and misery not to learn, Shines by the side of every path we tread With such a lustre, _he that runs may read_." LOUISA JULIA NORMAN. _Wild Oats_ (Vol. v., p. 227.).--I think I can give a clue to the Query of BEAU NASH respecting the origin of this phrase. In Kent, if a person has been talking at random, it is not uncommon to hear it said, "you are talking _havers_," or _folly_. Now I find in an old dictionary that the word _havers_ means _oats_; and therefore I conclude, that the phrase "to sow your wild oats" means nothing more than "to sow folly." RUBY. _Portrait of Mrs. Percy_ (Vol. v., p. 227.).--The picture of Mrs. Percy holding in her hand the scroll, mentioned by W. S. G., _is_ still in the house of Ecton. I have made the inquiry from the present Mr. Isted of Ecton's sister-in-law, who lives within three miles of the place. L. M. M. R. _Traditions of a Remote Period--The Chamberlaine Family_ (Vol. v., p. 77.).--As an instance of the "few links" required to connect the present time with a remote period, I may mention that a grand-aunt of mine who lived far into the year 1843, remembered perfectly her "uncle Chamberlaine,"[4] who was an officer in King James II.'s army, and who fought at Aughrim and at Limerick, thus connecting in her own person the days of the "Monster Meetings" with those of the Revolution of 1688. She remembered many of the old soldier's anecdotes of the stirring times in which he lived, and I now regret having been so careless as not to have taken any Note of them. He was, I believe, the last of his race. I hold his commission, signed by the celebrated Tyrconnell, and also many old deeds, some of which are prior to the reign of Richard II., and of which he was said to be very careful, though on examination they have proved to be of no value, except as antiques. [Footnote 4: Her grand-uncle.] As a descendant I should be much gratified if some of your correspondents could give me any information as to the family of Chamberlaine, when they came into Ireland, and who is now the chief representative of that name? T. O'G. Dublin. _St. Bartholomew_ (Vol. v., p. 129.).--The parish church of Wednesbury, co. Staffordshire, is dedicated to that saint; where, in the east window, is a full-length figure: it is however of modern date. J. N. B. West Bromwich. _John Rogers, Protomartyr; Descendants inquired for_ (Vol. v., p. 247.).--The pedigree in my private collection ends thus: "[5]Rev. John Rogers of Beminster, Dorsetshire, from 1796 to 1810, when he removed to Tisbury, Wiltshire, where he died in 1815, aged 57, leaving two daughters, viz.
