Expenses of Burying the Dead.

Through the influence of fashion, the ex-
penses of burying the dead have become
so heavy that they can hardly be borne
even by the middlIng classes Of society.
We err in this respect. We Go il for
the sake of honoring the remains of the
respected and beloved dead. We pur-
chase an expensive mahogany or rose
wood coffin. How unnecessary for the
few hours il stands in the parlor of the
deceased In lis procession through the
city, il is concealed by the hearse, and is
soon covered BY The dust. Why is all
this expense !! Does it honor or crafty
the dead Does il satisfy the living
Would not lis expense be better employed
in paying the debts of the deceased, or in
making The survivors comfortable ! Is it
honest, for the sake Of Pagesniry Of
moment, TO cheat some honest creditor
out of his dues ! Is il just TO waste moL-
ey in so useless ceremony, when the
food and the clothing, and the shelter Of
survivors have to be neglected
