BURIALS IN TOWNS—PHYSICAL
AND MORAL CONSEQUENCES.
The evils inseparable from the custom of depositing
the dead in the midst of the living, though numerous
and varied, are self-inflicted, and, therefore, remove-
able. The yet lingering superstition that yearns to
satisfy a non-satisfiable sentiment, that hopes to
cheat corruption of his prey and the worm of his
banquet—that desires to find in, or near, or under
the church or chapel a last resting-place for its corporeal
have
ne whence
you
fabric, will have felt itself shocked to find from my pre-
vious statements that localities which used to be deemed
sacred are subjected to periodical visitations from semi-
civilised barbarians, who, while they insult our feelings,
poison
practices of
grave-yard "management;" in other words, that by a
process of transmutation or " clearing out, as it is sig-
nificantly called—leaden coffins, with their emblematical
garniture, find their way into the marine-store shops,
and coffin wool is emloyed in culinary operations—in
diffusing warmth in the abodes of the wretched and the
depraved, and in corrupting the atmosphere of the loca-
lities where it is consumed.
Death, like life, propagates itself. He exacts from
the multitudinous population of this vast city his thou-
sand victims weekly. In his turn he knocks at every
wan's door,—" the bright, the brave, the beautiful," the
infant and the old man; the young, the full of promise,
the buoyant with expectation, the outcast and the
miserable, must one day change time for eternity.
A wise Providence has ordained that any habitual
disregard of morality is soon followed by bodily suffer-
ing. Crime is invariably the parent of disease; and
" such is the harmony always existing between religion
and sound policy, that what is acknowledged as decorous
arid useful by the one, is also commanded and pre-
scribed by the other."
Our moral instincts, our religious sentiments, tell us
that the sanctuary of the dead should remain inviolate ;
daily experience teaches, that the process which resolves
the animal body into its elements is attended by the
disengagement of matters highly injurious to the health
of the living.
Morality, religion, and the imperative demands of the
public health, all point out the necessity of removing the
so called resting-places of the dead from the habitations
ot man.—From Mr. G. A. Walker's Third Lecture on t/
Metropolitan Graveyards.
