NOTE. The son Elijah, is a man of rare mechanical ability, and has been the successful inventor of various machines, several of which have been pa- tented, and have been found highly useful. His latest invention, a machine for sawing volutes and cylinders, is now in operation, in H'm., and prom- ises to work quite a revolution in the bucket business. Did our limits pre- mit, we might fill a long chapter with a sketch of the life of Mr. W., whose varied incidents would be instructive and encouraging to the young. He has been somewhat in political life, and is a man of great energy of charac- ter, persevering in whatever he undertakes, and carrying it on to a success- ful issue.

HYMN.
ADDRESS. PLACING THE RING.
Our Father God, before Thee now, Together we, thy children bow, And joyful, willing songs of praise From lip and heart, to Thee we raise.
We're gathered on the cherished spot, Where thou in wisdom cast the lot Of parents ; who, before Thee stand With children, these, a filial band.
Back half a century's rolling years, This night ; with love, and hopes and fears, Their bridal vows, they made in youth ;-- Since kept with holy faith and truth.
Through life's bright prime; through wiser days,
Together toiled their blended ways, And now Age smites, they kiss the rod, And patient wait their call to God.
Now, sons and daughters, come to bless Their kind parental faithfulness,
And childrens' children, join and sing - While orphan hearts thank-offerings bring.
Departed ones, who shared this love. Raise holier songs in homes above ! Help us, O God ! to join THEIR song And in thy praise their strains prolong. S.
HYMN.
Father, and Mother ! Husband, Wife ! Names in which dwell earth's holiest charms, We hail this length of wedded life,- Of aged vows - of trembling palms.
Dim eyes, gray locks, were bright the day These bridal vows, ye youthful took, Tho' dimmed the eye, the locks turned gray, Their bonds, not loosened, nor forsook.
Since that far day, how sore the strife In household toil, ye two have borne Daughters and Sons-life from your life Have drawn ; 'till yours' is waste and worn.
We children greet you on this day, Father and Mother, take our song,- While " little longer " you may stay, We would in peace your hours prolong.
Now old, fond love, drop gladsome tears, These children hands, shall 'fend from need, 'Till we all end our mortal years, Then Jesus, count us " holy seed." L.

BARSTOW FAMILY. Since this work went to press, we have obtained the following additional particulars relative to the Bars- tow family. The original name seems to have been Burstow; and we find this name in Sussex Co., in the reign of Edward II., A. D., 1308, at which date grants were made to Roberto de Burstowe. See " Documents Illustrative of English History, in the 13th and 14th Centuries," in the N. E. Gen. Soc. Lib .; and Rymer's Foedera, vol. 3. In the reign of Henry III., A. D., 1271, we find in Suffolk Co., Will. de Burstowe, and Christiana, his wife. See " Excerpta Rotulis," &c., vol. 3, in the N. E. Gen. Soc. Lib. In the "History of Surrey and Sussex," pub. in London, in 1829, vol. 2, p. 273, we find the parish of Burstow described, which is "situate in the weald of Surrey, and is not mentioned in Domesday Book. It adjoins Horne on the east, Horley on the west, Blechingley and Nutfield on the north, and Worth, in Sussex, on the south. In 1821, there were 915 in- habitants, and 106 houses in this parish. The manors of Burs- tow Court lodge, Burstow, Burstow lodge, and Red hall, are situate in this parish, and principally belong to M. Sanders and T. Dickson, Esqrs. The benefice is a rectory, in the deanery of Ewell. It is rated in the valor of Ed. I. at 12 marks, in the king's book at £15 13s. 4d. It is a peculiar of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and is in the patronage of the king. The church, dedicated to St. Bartholomew, consists of a nave and south aisle, a chancel, and a wooden turret and steeple at the west end. The interior is particularly neat. On Smallfield Common, in this par-

ish, is the remaining part of a mansion-house, built of stone, which belonged to the family of De Burstow, and passed from them to that of Byshe, long settled there. It was formerly called Crutt- ings, and was given by Bartholomew, (Lord Burgherst,) to John de Burstow, as an acknowledgment for assistance received from him when thrown from his horse in an engagement with the French. The house, of which part is now standing, is supposed to have been erected by Edward Byshe. He was a bencher of Lincoln's Inn, and a great practitioner in the Court of Wards, where he amassed his fortune, and used jokingly to say, that he " built his house with woodcocks' heads."
We think it probable, that branches of this family,-the Burs- tows,-settled in Yorkshire ; and from the latter, sprung the Barstows who emigrated to America.
