. Westmoreland, Cumberland, Durham, and Northumberland, illustrated : from original drawings by Thomas Allom, George Pickering, & c. ; with descriptions by T. Rose . in a mountain hallowed associations connected with the sacred pile, can but appeal forcibly to themind, when the road to its portal lies over hill and vale, where the very footsteps of Deity arediscernible, and the majesty of Omnipotence is so awfully displayed ! In the church-yardis a venerable yew-tree, of amazing circumference, and still retaining a good portion ofvigour: it stands a chronicler of departed days; and is viewed with interest by the seniorinhabitants, as a pleasing reminiscence of early life, when they rested in its shade, andwhen their eyes had not become dim through age. Neither storied urn, nor animatedbust, nor indeed a single grave-stone, can be found in this church-yard. The lowlyinhabitants of the village are content to be gathered to their fathers, with no other cover-ing over their last resting-place than the green mound :— In our church-yard, Is neither epitaph nor monument,Tombstone nor name; only^he turf we tread,And a few natural graves.—.
