Miscellany

To the editors of the National Intelligencer.  -- In looking over a file of 
the Old Virginia Gazette for the year 1748, (No. 642,) I have stumbled 
upon the following curious epitaph, which is said to have been copied 
from a tombstone at Arlington, near Paris.  Your Lady readers may be 
pleased to study out the meaning:

Here lies
Two Grandmothers, with their two Granddaughters;
Two Husbands, with their two Wives;
Two Fathers, with their two Daughters; 
Two Mothers, with their two Sons;
Two Maidens, with their two Mothers;
Two Sisters, with their two Brothers;
Yet but six Corpses in all lie buried here,
All born legitimate, from incest clear.

From the National Intelligencer for Jan. 16, 1849.
