Sir ,- —I believe there are many persons , some followers of old Isaac Walton , who do not know where to find the slab in Winchester Cathedral which covers his remains . It is in the little chapel in which the vicars-choral and choristers put on their surplices , and is directly opposite the Chapter House , in the south
transept . The plain slab bears the following inscription : — * ' Here lies the body of Mr . Isaac Walton , who dyed the 15 th o f December , 1683 Alas , hees gone before , Gone to return no more . Our panting breasts aspire , After their aged sire ,. Whose well spent life did last Full ninety years and past . But now he hath begun That which will nere be done :
Crowned with eternal blisse , We wish our souls with his . VOTIS MODESTIS SIC FLEEUNT LIBERI . " E . W . J . Sir , —Can any of your readers inform me at what precise date coaches were introduced into England , and whether the caroch and the coach are identical ? Greene , in his "TuQuoque , " 1641 , mentionsct A coach For country , and a caroch for London . " Auriga . Sir , —Is the Orator still retained in any of our Lodges as an active officer ? If not , at what period did the office cease ? If useful , why is it not retained ? Masteos .
On Speeches in Lodge . —Do not make proposals for amendments or improvements , unless you are persuaded of their value , their practibility , and of your own power of proving both . Loose and rambling statements do much harm , by prolonging meetings , and causing needless discussion . Tbis advice cannot too strongly be suggested to some younger members , whose zeal is often ahead of their discretion . At the same time , let every brother speak out boldly and straightforwardly what he believes to be consistent with , and necessary to , the truth , brotherly love , and mutual relief , that should distinguish every Lodge .
