COP-STONE STONE. Tradition supplies us with a vindictive tale, which, if true, reflects no honour on the individual of this family whom it concerns. It is stated, that a youth, refusing a match commanded by his father, married in opposition to his will, which so irritated the parent that he made a vow to assassinate him: the son withdrew himself for the space of two years; but being weary of concealment, resolved to seek an interview with his father in the church. The parent suppressed his violence while within the sacred walls; but they had no sooner quitted the church than be stabbed his son to the heart. Drawn & Begravd by J.
