her death, was as upright as a young woman. At the time of her death, there

of her married life near Whitechapel and Radcliffe, and was buried in the
Brickfield burying-ground. She had sixteen boys and fourteen girls.

_"Ought" and "Aught."_--I regret to observe that _ought_ is gradually
supplanting _aught_ in our language, where the meaning intended to be
conveyed is "anything." Todd's _Johnson_ gives authorities, but may they
not be errors of the press? I am aware that use has substituted _nought_
for _naught_ in the sense of "not anything", the latter now expressing only
what is "bad," and convenience may justify that change, _nought_ being not
otherwise used. Let me add that I am the more {420} in fear for our old
servant _aught_, who surely has done _nought_ worthy of excommunication,
from observing that such a writer as the Rev. Chevenix Trench has
substituted _ought_ for _aught_ to express "anything." If convenience is
allowed to justify our having _nought_ and _naught_, it surely claims that
we should keep _aught_ and _ought_ each for its appropriate signification
in writing, impossible as it is to distinguish one from the other in
speech.

_Walton._--The following note is written on the fly-leaf at the end of

shall doo mee a greate curtesie, and I shall be very thankfull to you.

Yours to his power to be co[=m]anded,
JOHS' WALTON, Cler."

I have no information as to either party, and no date is affixed to the
request.

_Salutations._--The parting salutations of various nations are strikingly
alike. The _vale_ of the Latins corresponds with the [Greek: chaire] of the
Greeks; and though Deity is not expressed distinctly in either, it was
doubtless understood: for who can be kept in health without, as the
ancients would say, the will of the gods? The Greek word perhaps has a
higher signification than the Latin; for it was not a mere complimentary
salutation, says Macknight: "St. John forbids it to be give
