The following was copied from a tomb-stone in a country churchyard : — " As you are now , so once was me ; As I am now , so you must be ; Therefore prepare to follow me . " Below which a wag had
written" To follow you I 'm not content , Unless I know which way you went . ' Dec . 22 , 1848 . —At Azimgurh , Presidency of Bengal , Bro . ROBERT NEAVE , an . 47 , Judge of the District , and Deputy Prov . Grand Master of Bengal . A scholar of superior attainments , a most estimable man , au affectionate husband , and a fond father . The pages of this periodical have been enriched by his pen—the craft has been enlightened by his example . Friendship mourns , while sincerity renders eulogy a cypher . —FID us .
April 8 . —Of apoplexy , at his house , Great Russell-street , Coventgarden , Bro . JOHN CHAPMAN , a 2 t . 45 . He was formerly a memher of the Bank of England Lodge , and only retired in consequence of the increasing claims of a numerous young family . As a Mason he was imbued with sound views ; as a man , most kindly disposed ; as a husband and father , kind and affectionate . He has left a widow and seven children , we regret to state , unprovided for .
BRO . THE REV . STEPHEN ISAACSON . —We deeply regret to announce the demise of the Rev . Stephen Isaacson , long a hearty and faithful labourer in literature , and especially in Archaeological science . He was born on his paternal estate , the Oaks , at Cowling , in Suffolk , on the 17 th of February , 1798 , and graduated at Cambridge , January , 1820 .

" Gentleman ' s Magazine . " From that period to thelasthe has continually employed his pen in the most popular magazines , and produced a multitude of piquant contributions as well as others of graver character . In 1822 he projected the "Brighton Magazine , " a periodical of short existence , but containing many articles well worth preservation . In 1824 his celebrated translation of Jewell ' s Apology was received in the most gratifing manner by the ecclesiastical worldand his several
y , sermons and religious tracts , especially his altar service , which he at various periods published , established his reputation as an able and sound divine .
