Harmony Grove, the spot selected by Mr..
Peabody for his burial, is described by cor.
respondentof Appleton's Journal as '.beauti.
fully wooded, rising ground, situated upon the
north-westerly boundary of Salem, and itseli
bordering upon the line of the town now called
Peabody In his day it was a charming re.
sort for leisure or playful hour. Like many
another similar locality, however, in the neigh.
borhood of the older Massachusetts, towns, the
playground of the holiday has become the
quiet and tasteful resting place of the dead.
OF these Harmony Grove may well take rank
as among the best results of that later and Just
sentiment which would render the grave less a
thing OF gloom than of beauty
"And purple all the ground with vernal flowers.
Bring the rattle primrose that, torsaken, dies
The tutted crOwtoe, and pale jessamne
The white pink and the pansy treaked with let.
The glowing violet.
The musk rose and the we'll attired woodbine
With cowslips wan that hang the pensiye head
A nj every flower that sad embroidery wears:
Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed,
ana daHodlilies fill their cups with tears"
