GRAVES IN ADvANcE.-The idea of keeping
ready made collins on hand for sale, introduced
several years ago, always struck us as a very
good one, and has proved of great utility-but
that of digging graves by wholesale, and selling
them on demand, is q progression of the age
for which we were hardly prepared: and yet
it is by no means unworthy of the time, du-
ring the prevalence of anusual mortality. Tho
plan has been introduced in Philadelphia by the
Cemetery Companies on whose grounds the
poor are usually buried
The principal advantage of this practice is
is that the graves may be dug at night, early
in the morning or in the evening; and not, Of
necessity, under broiIing sun. The graves
may be dug 10 contain one or a half dozen
cotiins, as may be desired. In Philadelphia the
mode adopted is to dig the grave twelve feet
deep A coffin is pat on the bottom, covered
with earth TO the depth of few inches anoth-
er coffin is laid on top of this, and the same
course pursued until the grave is sufficiently
full.-Baltimore Patriot.

REV. Mr.. Hoffman, in his sermon on "The
System OF Free Churches" says that the first
enclosed pew that was ever known in church,
dates back only to the l7th century, half a
century and more later than the Reformation in
England. They were never extensively intro
duced until the time of The Puritan rebellion,
and then in opposition to the Bishops Of the
Church, by men who wished to conceal from
the congregation that they refused to kneel
during the prayers, or thought themselves too
good 10 pray by the side of those who were

TEACH IoUa CHILDREN TO SIEG.-The best
thing parents can do for their children is TO IA
lnarize them with good, wholesome songs Mu-
sic fills up their vacant hours, soflens and purfes
the disposition, renders them more tractable and
obedient, keeps them out of mischief, and disci-
pines the mental faculties. Music gives charm
TO the family circle that nothing else can, and
the recoIIeclions OF The songs Of childhood are
more durable than any other Impressions. Music
givcs life and zest to the school room. Chill.
dren have it, and it sweetens their study and
encourages their hearts Music is the soul OF
the church. 1t kindles The fire of devotion and
brings The soul in feeling near the Father Of
music-lhe Creator Of The world.
