R. VINCENT. _Rust._--If, without any neglect on your part, but even with care, articles of steel belonging to you, such as keys, knives, &c., continually become rusty, some kindhearted person is laying up money for _your_ benefit. This superstitious notion is very prevalent in Wales. R. VINCENT. Minor Notes. _Epitaph at Low Moor._--The following curious epitaph is on a tombstone in the Low Moor churchyard, near this town:-- "In Memory of Christopher Barlow, Blacksmith, of Raw Nook, who died Oct. 9th, 1824, aged 56. "My stithy and my hammer I reclin'd; My bellows, too, have lost their wind; My fire's extinguish'd, and my forge decay'd, And in the silent dust my vice is laid. My coal is spent, my stock of iron's gone, My last nail driven, and my work is done." C. WILLIAMS. Bradford, Yorkshire. _Sir Thomas Overbury's Epitaph._--I do not think that the epitaph of the unfortunate Sir Thomas Overbury, poisoned by Carr, Earl of Somerset, in 1613-14, has ever been published. I send it to you, copied from a manuscript on a blank leaf of a black-letter copy of Howe's _Abridgement of Stow's Chronicle_ in my possession. "1614. SR. THOMAS OVERBURY HIS EPITAPH. "The Span of my daies measured, heare I rest That is my body, but my Soule his Guest Is hence assended whither neither Tyme Nor Fayth nor Hope: but only Love can Clyme. Wheare beinge nowe enlightned Shee doeth knowe The trueth of all men argue of belowe. Only this Dust doeth heare in pawne remaine, That when the Worlde dissolves, Shee com againe. THOMAS OVERBURY, 1614." RICHARD F. LITTLEDALE. Dublin. _Bibliotheca Literaria._--I possess a copy of the _Bibliotheca Literaria_, 1722-4, in which the names of some of the authors are appended in manuscript to various papers, as follows: In No. 4., Dr. Brett's name is appended to the first paper. In No. 5., the first paper, concerning the pillar of fire and cloud, has the name "Sam. Jebb." In No. 6., the third paper has the name of Dr. Brett; also, the first in No. 7., continuation of it. In No. 8., the first and third papers have "Carol. Ashton;" the second, Dr. Brett. In No. 9. the first and second papers have "Thos. Wagstaffe." Finally, the second in No. 10. has the name of Dr. Brett. In the hope that this may be of some utility, I send it, on the chance that these names may not have been published already, which I have not time to ascertain. W. H. S. Edinburgh.
