Had, when alive, three tongues, and but one head.">[
Epitaph in Torrington Churchyard, Devon.—
"She was—my words are wanting to say what.
Think what a woman should be—she was that."

"A woman should be both a wife and mother,
But Jenny Jones was neither one nor t'other."

The early Delights of Philadelphia.—In Gabriel Thomas's Description of the Settlement of Philadelphia occurs the following passage:
"In the said city are several good schools of learning for youth, for the attainment of arts and sciences, also reading and writing. Here is to be had, on any day in the week, cakes, tarts, and pies; we have also several cook-shops, both roasting and boiling, as in the city of London: happy blessings, for which we owe the highest gratitude to our plentiful Provider, the great Creator of heaven and earth."
