The growing objection to Stone for Monu
mcnt purposes, but moro especially to Marble
has become SO general, that this discovery
seems n response to a universal demand. =
Marble in few years loses its beauty, and
gradually but surely decays Many have an
idea thatFnsrtle Is yeryeaiurins,G hitg the
truth il, -tlsit there is hardly n stone kist*h
hut will outlast Marble. Inscriptions on the
very best Italian Marble head stone will not
last IS years, while On the ordinary Uarble
scM CrWmbie scithin so to 90 years, so as to be-
come illegiblc If anyone doubts this, let them

Granite, though far moro durable than mar
Bile, is very difficult to work inso elaborate de-
signs, hence they stand, cold, inexpensive
shaft, but even in this form they are too ex-
pcnsivc a record for sgeneralnuse, hehce the
masses have not been able to possess enduring
monuments, and few are able to trace the rest
ing places of their ancestors beyond their
grandparents.

posed of decayed stone, while Non corrosive
Metals like Gold, Silver and Zinc, last from
age to age. Zinc, though Of less value than
gold or silver in commercial point of view,
is equally enduring, and more, appropriate in
color than either, and farmorclplehsihg to tho
eye than bronze, as zinc, when cast, bears a
striking resemblance to Dix Island Granite,
of which the New Post Office of New York
City is builts Richmond Granite Isl ncarlyith
same color; which is being used by the govern
ment in making the New State Department
buildings at Washington. The light anil
cheerful tone of these GRANTEES bears pleas
ing contrast to the more dark and sombre hue
Of the Quincy Granite.
Zinc not only gives Grante-like color, but
also the most desirable color of Granite, and
enables us to possess rich and elaborate de
signs, at less than oncshalf, the fcxpeu-e, Of a
plain cold shaft, while the less elaborate, but
neat and appropriate monuments, are adapted
in price to the most humble conditions in life.

Enduring Monuments that are equally adapt

be appreciated by all.
Most of these Monuments are cast in halves
sufficiently thick in material to be strong and
substantial, which, being boltcd firmly togeth-
er, though hollow Within presents n massive
appearance. Both sides are equally ornament
cd, and admit Of tasty designs or tokens of re-
membrane.

much less than stone, much less depth and
skill in setting them, will render their posi-
ton permanent at trifling expense ~
