where, It Is now hard to %. Anosher has
been almost obliterated, md muat 70 few
years be left without tomb; and yet Rich.
mond Is hardly century old.
II we go to Hollywood a little over
twenty years oid--we shall find graves that
are left with none to care for and redecorate
them, aud as that now interesting place IS 10
the direct limo of the growth OF fne Guy
have we any good reason to hope tnat a
hundred years will fiud 1t indebted un'n'
vaded by what the world Calls I'M
nrovementsos We think not. We
h,rdly look for an expansion at that
! Mace of b,,rial-most unfortunately selected,
Ne must SAY. 1t will soon be full Of graves,
and we shall have TO look elsewhere for a
place where to put away our dead and of
course We shall look for place that prom
ises to be the least liable 10 disturbance by
the wants Of an active and thriving CONNER
cial aud manufacturing community. Their
wants must be supplied. ..
Cremation dispenses with the necessity of
vast surfaces of ground for burial purposes,
and saves society from the painful necessity
of removing the. remains of the dead and
obliteratlng grave-yards. The London Times
estimates the number Of annual deaths at
70, 000, 900. What vast surface Is thus CO.
vered with graves! Many die who have
none to care for them. They are placed
where their graves wild soon be smoothed
over and lost. But there are vast number
who are cared for, and whose relations are
DESTROYS Of long preserving the monuments
erected to them. These will last the longer
from occupying narrow space, and from
being out of the way of the living. Two
hundred years will at all events destroy
them without grievins anybody; but the
means Of marking the resting places of in
urned ashes would assure the living that the
memorials would be respected and undis-
turbed longer than they could possibly be
if disposed Of in any other way.
But, we repeat, the whole matter must be |
decided by fashion. 1t will be difficult to
educate our people into the habit of burning
the dead, Notwithstanding that, through the
discoveries of science, bodies may now be
disposed of with greater facility and less
responsiveness than in past ages when they
were committed to the flames. The surface
Of earth is so great in proportion to popula-
lion that people will think it better to go on
observing the old custom. The destruction
llready of few graye.yards don't amount to
much. People will stand the old custom
Iwblle longer.
The subject is interesting. and also pain
u. Wien we think how few years are ,
necessary to cut US of from all recollec-
ion of the de.G 4 60 sagu!fezzS - &c

matter OF little moment what GtSpos'tion
Il made of them. Thirty years after
the body is laid in the tomb in the
majority of instances there are none living
to look after it or care for it. 1t is indeed
noble sentiment of the human heart that
prompts us to lay the dead away in care
full, rercrent, and dccorous manner, and fire.
quently to dress their graves and water them
with tears of love. 1t is so good for the liv-
ing. Aud yet, with all that affection and ill.,
eral means can do, the grave In less than
generation tells too truly the transient ma
ture of life and human devotion: it DO
longer shows that any that cared for the dead
are living.
So we reduce the discussion to the point
that no matter how we put away our dead
the end will be the same. The best plan for
setting up memorials to mark their resting
places can prolong recollection of them little
more than if no such tributes were paid
them. The deyotecs Of cremation will have
to work q long time in vain.

AS we say in Ireland, such a man is

agitation about public schools, and the

habit amongst mothers In general when
their children began TO cry and get
troublesome, and that was, they would
invent some monster, some "bugabOO"

A few persons were now trying to raise
a great cry about public schools; they
were endeavOring to create "bugaboop

would not be excluded.
