TAmerican Architect and Building News

lAmerican Architect and Building NewsI
The two special reasons for the erection
of stones of any kind over graves are
either simply to mark the resting-place
of the deceased, and by an inscription
to testify to the world some special virtue
which those who pass by may take a
lesson from or, by pompous monument
to certify to the veneration and esteem
in which some public character or bene-
factor was held, and with what affection
he should still be remembered. Let us
see what we can find in accord with these
objects. Head and foot-stones are of
course admissible; asing'e large cross, of
good design, is very appropriate at the
head of the grave. Upon its arm might
be cut, "Mercy, Jesus" or some short
text from Scripture-one that the person
lying beneath may have been specially
fond of, or one calculated to rivet itself
on the mind of passing, careless obser-
yer. The words "Requiescat in pace"
if used at all, should, in my opinion.
never be indicated by their initialsalone:
more revolving frivolity and heartless
criticism have resulted from such abbre-
Walton than the extra labor is worth.
Next to the upright stones come the
single slab placed entirely over the grave.
There may be some objection to this, on
the score of its preventing the growth of
grass, holly, ivy or flowers; but it has
this advantage, that it gives room for
much longer inscription; and there are
many people who like to see their ideas
in print, even if expressed in such
black-letter alphabet as this. These slabs
may be either wholly fat and in the
form of parallelogram with inscriptions,
or they may taper gradually from head
to foot, and have the two sides shelving
from a ridge or continuous apex along
the center. This form lends itself very
readily to short notices or texts.
Monuments are only in place over the
graves of those who have done some
special good to mankind, or have been
prominent in public affairs. Lives of
great men should, from their tombs, re.
mind us that we may strive, if nothing
more, to emulate them and, over the
graves of those who have done noble
deeds, it is certainly not inappropriate
that grateful community should rear
some token of their regard and esteem
to point to merely human greatness,
created by energy end perseverance,, so
that no one need despair; or else to show
that there is higher consummation for
those who have done their duty con-
or that bereaved family
should publish the worth of him who
sleeps beneath. But where these monu-
ments are put up as sign of the wealth
OF the dead or those remaining as COM
of the virtues and kind
nesses ofone who had no virtues and ever
did a kind act-they become absurdities
and lies, and unfit for their position. III
there is one place. above all others, where
rich and poor should be even, it is in the
graveyard; and any false ostentation and
how becomes not only sickening, but
utterly disgusting. 1t creates the feel
ng in others that they must try to equal,
f not to excel, their neighbors in the
nightiness of their funeral embellish-
