Against expenditure In honor of the
dead, Heaven has uttered no prohibition,
and earth is not Injured but benefited by
them. All those beautiful enblems which
adorn the many tombs around which we
love To llnger, assure us we are in world
of warm and loving hearts. The adorning
of the sepulchres of the "loved ones" allie.
vtates our grief and soothes the wounded
heart. 1t also cheers the bereaved to know
that an additional establishment of the
crave presents stronger attractions to ar
rest the attention of the stranger. and
causes him to pause and learn the name of
one who has shared so largely in the love
of Others.
We have not discharged the office of
friendship and affection which we owe to
the departed when we have consigned
their remains to the tomb, amid the So
IDENTITIES which the occasion demands
There are other duties which we owe them,
which, II neglected, VIII seriously reflect
upon our picty rs Christians.
10 give them a Christian burial is simply
duty--to cherish their memory is mark
OF esteem. There Is a desire implanted in
all humanity to be remembered by the llv-
ing, when they shall sleep in the dust.
mere can be no expenditure of labor or of
means that will more richly compensate
mankind than that which is bestowed up
on the sepulchres OF our departed.
Attractive and beautiful cemeteries Will
assistourpicty and promote the refinement
and elevation of society. 1t is abundantly
manifest from tho many testimonials that
Kind feelings are fostcrcd and that The M st
tender recollcctions of them linger in the
minds of the living. This Is illustrated by
those cities of our many dead, Greenwood,
Cave llill, Mount Olivet, Mount Auburn,
Laurel Hill, and many other attractive
places, where the efforts of the living are
to perpetuate the memory of those that
they have loved.
The erection of Marble is the last work of
respect which we pay to the memory of de-
parted friends. 1t Is custom which has
been followed from the remotest ages of
antiquity. We can Judge OF the advance
mcnt OF civilization by the promotion of
arr, and there Is no higher type of art than
that which is displayed in our American
cemeteries.

A NEW DEPARTURE IN MEDIcINE.- There are "new departures" in medicine,
 as we'll as in politics. The latest and most
 successful of these is the bold movement of Dr. Joseph Walker, of California, who has actually had the effrontery to produce
 Vegetable Tonic and Restorative, with out any alcoholic basis, which is curing disorders of the stomach, liver, bowels, nerves and pulmonary organs, with a rapidity that fairly entities him to the anathemas ofthe Old School of Physicians, and the praise and confidence of the New !!
 His CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs may be safely pronounced the most popular remedy of the age. When it is considered that this now famous specific was intro duoed some two years ago, its present sale, which is at the rate of 3,00O,0 ,000 bottles per annum, can only be ascribed to it's intrinsic merits. It is believed that the history of "patent medicines affords no example of success so rapid and complete. The community insists that this success is thoroughly deserved, and we have no inclination to dispute its dictuln. The Voice of the People, if not exactly that of Omnipotence, is generally the voice of Common Sense, and as they have had ample time to take sober second thought on the subject, it may be assumed that in this instance, their opin. ion is creditable to their sagacity.

ROUGa DEALING WITH THE JEWS IN Po1AND.-The imperial ukase prescrib- ing change of costume to the Jews in Poland has not met with ready obedi- ence. The long coats have indeed been easily disposed of. Whenever the own CTS refused to shorten them, the police obligingly took the task off their hands. The curls have undergone similar treat ment. But as the myrmidons of the law are not as skillful in handling the needle as the shears, the trousers have for the most part remained as short as before. The provision exciting most resistance is that of ordering the chin to be shaved. Barbers' work seems ticklish matter for policemen Co undertake; the Jews on the other hand venerate their boards almost as 8 sacred thing. They would as soon think of cutting their throats as their boards. The Warsaw police still allow the latter, stunning an application of force as likely to produce disturbance, but in provincial towns crusade has been opened against them. At Goica, the police began the campaign by an ex- pertinent on an old man of about eighty years of age, who was perforce spoiled of his beard in the public market place. The old mans cries speedily attracted numbers of fellow creedsmen anxious to rescue their Nestor. No better oppor. tunity could have been desired. As fast as the men arrived they were seized, forced into chairs, and shaved in rather too hurried a manner to be pleasant
 The lamentations of the helpless victims are described as most touching.

A LIBEL SuIT.-A wine merchant of London recently brought a strange action of libel against the publisher of the FSga- TO. The plaintiff had inserted in sundry newspapers the following advertisement "To the younger sons of the nobility, retired military and naval officers, and private gentlemen.-Wanted, a gentle man of position, having connection among the nobility and gentry, to solicit orders for first. class wines." Upon see ing this advertisement the publisher ot the Ggaro had it reprinted in his paper under the title of " A London Imposture, y and while suppressing the name of the plaintiff commented upon the advertise. ment with great severity, and denounced it's author as swindler, &c.
