      AGHADE
		The church of Aghade stands at the distance of 
		about four miles south of Tullow, and adjoining the road leading to 
		Newtown-Barry.  It is prettily situated on gently elevated ground, 
		in the midst of a highly cultivated district.  A rivulet running 
		close by the church-yard adds to the beauty of this tranquil scene.  
		The church is a modern structure of plain architecture, and of the usual 
		oblong shape, with square belfry and spire. TOMBS AND INSCRIPTIONS. |

	This 
    monument was erected by TOMAS GURLEY, Esq., as an affectionate tribute to 
    the memory of his brother BAGNEL GURLEY, Esq. and to commemorate his many 
    virtues.   His friends and acquaintances lament the irreparable loss of his 
    sincere and warm friendship, agreeable and instructive conversation, polite 
    and cheerful manners, liberal yet prudent hospitality, and every social 
    virtue that sweetens and adorns private life. -  He died on the 25th day of 
    February, 1796, in the 25th year of his age. 
      | 
  
    | 
	This 
    small tribute of respect and affection to departed excellence and worth is 
    erected to the memory of JANE, the beloved wife of the Rev. GEORGE VERNON, 
    RECTOR of CARLOW, and only daughter of the Venerable THOMAS KINGSBURY, 
    ARCHDEACON OF KILLALA, by her deeply afflicted husband.  This meekly devout, 
    enlightened Christian died in the prime of life, and her character was a 
    rare combination of every gift with every perfection.  With talents far 
    beyond those given to the generality of persons, she never sought any 
    display of them. -- With a deep knowledge of literature, she preferred above 
    all that knowledge which maketh wise unto salvation.  Though silent and 
    reserved amidst company and rather desirous of avoiding it, she was ever 
    accessible to the poor and distressed, and always studying how to relieve 
    their necessities and wants.  She excelled in sculpture painting, and 
    acquaintance with the learned languages, but far more so in the exemplary 
    discharge of duty in every relation of life ; as a loving and dutiful 
    daughter, a tender and affectionate mother, a most devoted and fondly 
    attached wife.  Her death was universally lamented, for in her society lost 
    an ornament, her parents their pride, her husband his more than companion, 
    his guide, his example, and friend ; the poor of this town an active and 
    zealous benefactress and its youth a pious and Christian instructress.  
    Trusting for salvation alone in the merits of her Saviour, she resigned her 
    soul into the hands of God who gave it on the 4th day of December, 1827, and 
    29th year of her age. 
    
    
    Spotless without and innocent within,She feared no danger for she knew no sin;

    soul.  Amen. 
    
    Here 
    lies inshrined beneath this sacred tomb,By heaven foreboded as her final doom,
 A mother kind, a wife sincere was she,
 As Daphnis mourned even by every tree.
 When Death's dread dart had pierced her mortal frame,
 Her godlike spirit left this dreary vale;
 Her soul was wafted to the joyous plains,
 Where sweetest harmony for ever reigns.

	aged 71 years. 
    
    Guard 
    of the wood in settled low contentLived William Ralph, a ramble paid his rent.
 A boy, in sportive toil he climbed the trees,
 A man, he loved them rustling in the breeze.
 As he grew old, his old companions spread
 A broader, browner shadow o'er his head,
 While those he planted shot on high and made
 For many a rook a hospital shade.
 With this one change life gently crept away,
 A placid stream it flowed from day to day.
 His friends and children loved him as the tear
 Well spoke, profusely shed upon his bier.
 If he had faults, thou also hast thy share,
 Strike thy own breast and feel what lurketh there.
 He who sees all shall be judge both him and thee ;
 Repent, for as it falls so lies the tree.
