TxCRFNATIoS- The Rev Charles Vey-

out strongly in a letter to the London In
der in favor of the new plan. He pro-
poses that when death has ensued the BODY
should be chemically destroyed, and
then he says, it should Le placed in
some receptacle containing those powerful
agents known to chemical science, which
would simply annihilate the outward form.
and practically destroy it. There would
necessarily be some deposit. which one
might call ashes of the dead; and these
might be reverently gathered and placed
in beautiful urn or vase. to be disposed
Of according to the wishes of the survi-
vors. They might easily be deposited in
consecra.ed places. in inches in the walls
of churches. or in mortuary chapels de-
signed for their reception. This, too,
might be accompanied by religious SER
vice; so that the religious element is left
untou ched by my revolutionary proposal.
The advantage of all this to people of high
ly wrought feelings would be immense. !
can imagine the peaceful calm which would
steal over the mind when one could take
revercntly into ones hand the sacred urn
and say. This holds all that remains of
my beloved No horror of dark vaults
and damp graves, with their sccthing cor
ruption. No precious body being eat
en- rieccmeal by worms Of the earth, or
melting away in a loathsome stream
The form is changed; the substance real
ly remaining after chemical burning is not
in the least degree suggestive Of the past
or future. The body is thereby saved
from every dishonor, purified from every
decay. No words can describe the relief
which such a process would bring to many
an afflicted soul. Ga the ground Of health
to the community, it would be most salu-
tary. We little know, in England at least.
what mischief is brewing for US in our
seething cemeteries. They are getting
fuller and fuller, at the rate of know not
how many hundred corpses day, the lat
ter ones being nearer and nearer the sur
face. Many are within four feet Of the
turf, and that is not enough to prevent
the escape of the most foul and pestilen-
tial gases. I know of one old cemetery
which is now occupied By cooperage.
and which is constantly we, with stagnant
water. all round it typhus fever is per-
petually raging. The danger would no.
be so great if the bodies we're buried with

infec. them; but as it is. the mischief is

ladies' come sweeping into the church with
their velvets and silk. when said vclvets
