A Ghnstlr Pavement.

The following is taken from the Albuquerque, \. M., Journal: Fea of Inc people who daily pass through that part of Santiago street between the plaza and the postoilice, and along the east side of the cathedral, are aware that it is paved with human boEes. Such. however, is the fact
 Many years ago this was a public burying- ground. That was before Albuquerque ever dreamed of being a railroad town, or even growing 10 the magnitude Of 8 city; but Gs years passed by and The population in- creased the streets were gradually eX- tended out into the cemetery until a few years ago, when it was opened out and became the most frequented thorOughfare or the town. When the bodies were placed here they were probably buried two feet under ground, but the sand has been loos- ened by travelling over il and carTie1 away by the winds until they have come 10 the surface The severe wind-stonh of Tuesday swept the street perfectly clean down 70 the solid earth, and yesterday several complete human skeletons could be distinctly traced in the middle ot the street, while scores of white circles showed where repOsed the skulls of the former inhabitants of Albuquerque, the top worn away by contact with hoofs and wheels. In one case the teeth. which were still perfectly intact, protruded above inc surface, and the writer stopped down and picked out two of three of them Any one desifous or seeing this ghastly pavement can do SD by visiting lhis spot any time after a wind-storm, and all whO do will un- derstand Shakespeare when he says
 {" ImperioGs Caesar, dead and turned to clay,

Only grave, two feet by three,
Low sunken mid the grass,
Unmarked By all the jostling throus
That needless onward pass.
Each tomb and shaft are decked with
flowers,
And wreaths are every where;
But who, alas, of all the throng,
Will deck this grave with care'
Onward and onward file the crowd,
And slowly drag the hours,
And ere the sunset sleep the dead -.
Meath a parterre Of flowers.
Alone stood, in solemn mood,
Thinking why, TINS alone,
OF all the graves hower-crowned to-day,
This wore no flower nor stoue-
When slowly, By my side there stole,
A form in faded black,
And kneelng by the lowly bed,
She pushed the tall grass back.
With streaming eyes she pressed her lips
Upon her baby's bed;
And sunset laid golden crown
Of sunbearns on her head.

The baby's bed was crowned
The cemetery now, TO me,
Seemed almost holy ground
The granite tombs seem cold and hard.
The flowers will fade, | said
A mothers love aud God alone
Has decked the baby's bed.
But who will deck the toilers heart
With words of hope and cheeri
Bring flowers, but not to crown the dead
You have the living here.

Are small thugs rs n flower
Bring flowers, the living need thy aid
