SIR GEORGE FLEMING, BART.

Late Lord Bishop of Carlisle ;

Whose regretted dissolution was in July 2, 1747;

In the 81st year of his age,

And the 13th of his Consecration.

A prelate,

Who, by general and well-merited advancements,
Having passed through every dignity
To the Episcopal;

Supported that with an amiable assemblage
Of graces and virtues,

Which eminently formed in his character
The courteous gentleman and the pious Christian,
And rendered him a shining ornament
To his species, his nation, his order,
And his deportment.

In all humane relations and positions, Was squared by the rules of morality and religion, Under the constant direction of consummate prudence, Whilst his equanimity amidst

All events and occurrences in an inviolable adherence
To the golden medium ;

Made him easy to himself and agreeable to others,
And had its reward in a cheerful life,
A serene old age, a composed death.
His excellent pattern was a continual lesson
Of goodness and wisdom,

And remains in his ever-venerable memory,
An illustrious object of praise and imitation.

And relict of Edward Stanley, of Ponsonby-Hall, Esq.

Died, June 27, 1787; aged 71.

In grateful remembrance of an affectionate parent,
Whose materual tenderness,

Exemplary fortitude and Christian resignation
In trying scenes of domestic affliction,

Were ever eminently conspicuous,
And whose terrestrial remains

(Such alas! is the humbling lot of mortality), Are mingled here with dust and ashes.

TO THE MEMORY OF

CATHERINE, the Wife of ALLAN GRAHAM,

Who died, February 14, 1821; aged 44 years.

Come ye sinners poor and wretched,
Now is the accepted hour;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity join'd with power.
Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream :
All the fitness he requireth,
Is to feel your need of him.

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF

ANNE, the beloved Wife of RALPH HOLMES, Innkeeper, Carlisle.

She departed this life, 10th September, 1819; Aged 36 years.

DESERVEDLY LAMENTED.

If worth departed draws from thee a tear,
Stop, passenger! and pay thy tribute here,
To one in whom we saw those virtues blend,
That grace the wife, the parent, and the friend;
To one, who strove each mortal to relieve,
Proud to support, but never to deceive;
Be hers thy maxim till thy closing breath,
Still act a Christian's part and welcome death.

Thy years have flown with rapid wing,
But like the flying clouds of spring;
That sweep the teeming earth,
They shed o'er thee a genial power,
To foster every fragrant flower,
Of wisdom and of worth.
Raptur'd we saw each opening day,
Blossoms of piety display,

Or genius to genius join.

"Twas ours to drink the perfum❜'d breath, Gaze on their bloom till lost in death,

Their fruits bless'd child are thine.

Stanwix church-yard.

HERE RESTS THE BODY OF

ROWLAND SKELTON,

Son of James and Margaret Skelton,

Who death called out of the troubles of the world to a blessed eternity, March 10, 1782;

In the 2nd year of his age.

"But now he is dead wherefore should I fast, can I bring him back again, I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."

Thou'rt gone fair child, remov'd from earthly cares, Death called thee ere thy days knew sin ;

With holy seraphs to join in prayer,

Jehovah, Lord thy God and king.
