It is scarcely necessary to say these observations are grounded solely on what is already before the public. The appearance of MR. COLLIER'S volume may modify their effect either one way or the other; and perhaps I am committing a literary trespass on my friend's manor in thus prematurely entering into an argument on the subject. But MR. COLLIER, with his usual liberality, has invited rather than deprecated discussion; and having expressed in print opinions grounded on his first two communications, it would be uncandid in me not to acknowledge they are in some degree modified by the very important correction since published. J. O. HALLIWELL. THE GRAVE-STONE OF JOE MILLER. In consequence of the disfranchisement of St. Clement's burial-ground, Portugal Street, Clare Market, the last memorial of "honest Jo" is condemned for removal; and this being the case, I have forwarded for "N. & Q." a copy of the inscription. The epitaph written by Stephen Duck, and the stone itself, were, about the beginning of the present century, in jeopardy of obliteration, but for the compassion of Mr. Bulgen, the grave-digger; and being still in a very bad condition, Mr. Buck a few years afterwards repaired it. The following is the inscription: "Here Lye the Remains of honest Jo. Miller who was a tender Husband, a sincere Friend, a facetious Companion, and an excellent Comedian. He departed this Life the 15th day of August 1738, aged 54 years. If humour, wit, and honesty could save The humorous, witty, honest from the grave, The grave had not so soon this tenant found, Whom honesty, and wit, and humour crowned; Could but esteem and love preserve our breath, And guard us longer from this stroke of death, The stroke of death on him had later fell, Whom all mankind esteemed and loved so well. S. DUCK. From respect to social worth, mirthful qualities, and histrionic excellence, commemorated by poetic talent, humble life, the above inscription, which Time had nearly obliterated, has been restored and transferred to this stone by order of MR. JARVIS BUCK, Churchwarden. A.D. 1816." UNICORN. FOLK LORE. _Swearing on a Skull._--In April, 1851, a man was committed to Mayo prison for cutting off the head of a corpse but a few days interred. His object in severing the head was that of clearing himself of some imputed crime by swearing on a skull, a superstition said to be very common in that part of Ireland. PHILIP S. KING. _New Moon._--If, when you look at the new moon for the first time, you think of one particular thing which you greatly desire to have, or to have accomplished, your wishes on that same point will be realised before the close of the year.
