How Beautiful for a ChiId's Grave!

n AGUERREOTIPE PICTURES attached to
IL Head Stones and Monuments in PARIAN
MARBLE CASE, and warranted to secure the
Likeness from any air or dampnes5 for q long
number of years Any Daguerreotypist can
copy the Daguerreotype into these Cases from
the original picture, and it is but few mo-
ments work to attach Of them to Head
Stone, When attached to q Head Stone or
Monument, they look as though they were
carved on with the Sculptor's Chissel, for they
initiate marble SO perfectly. They are very
ORNAMENTAL to Head Stone and are worth
twice the amount charged, for an Ornament.
More than Fifteen Thousand Cases have been
sold; this fact alone shows conclusively- that
they are fast coming into general use.
The adjoining of the Sepulchres of removed
ones alleyiates our grief, and soothes the woun-
ded heart. 1t also cheers the bereaved to
know that an additional establishment Of the
grave presents stronger attractions to arrest
the attention Of the stranger, and causes him
to pause and learn the name, and gaze on the
likeness of one who has shared so largely in the
love of others. To a refined and cultivated
mind, there is not more mournful spectacle
Oh earth than desecrated grave, Or neglected
and over-groW3 graveyard Those in whose
memories the departed live, will come to strcw
flowers their graves and drop the tear of
affection,
They will plant there the Rose, the Lily and
the Evergreen as emblems OF a fragrant and
beautiful Immortality, which they assign them
in the Paradise of God. Above all we would
deplore the loss Of those hkenesSes of dear de-
parted ones, which are so distinctly engraven
upon the tablets of our memory. Although
months and years may elapsc since memorable.
Death made us surrender the bodies Of cher
ished ones to the grave, and their spirits to
Cod yet are they still present to our minds,
beautiful and life-lkc.
And who does not realize melancholy pleas
ure in recalling departed ones, be their image
clothed with the innocence and loneliness of
Youth, or markedly the sorrows or cares Of
Age.
