The IsuDbard Family Cene :


We took occasion Sunday to visit the
Hubbard family burial ground twosand,
a.half miles from town As we en,er
the silent and beautiful grounds. two
erouching lions guard the portals. and on
either view. high, towering far above u
or meekly aud seemingly bending AZ onr
feet, may be seen sacred testimonials to
the departed. The monuments, the nua
rnerous statues, mute monitors POINTING
tn cold, unerring certainty to the end OF
ill things mortal inspires feeling of
awe and causes the heart to turn with
solemn pleasure to view the beautiful sur.
roundings. Here may sweep softly and
weirsd like the graceful hangings Of a
willow, keeping its sentinel on the grass
grown mounds, or singing its sweet lula
by as the low winds ring through its
branches. The erection of u marble is The
last work q respect which we pay the
memory Of departed relatives and friends.
Ii is cds, otn which has been followed fiom
the remotvst ages OF antiquity. 70 give
them christian burial is simple duty-to
cherish and perpetuate their memory by
caring for iheiriyraves, &c, is an evidence
OF our real love and esteem. In the HUB
bard family cemetery there has recently
been erected by Mr.. b. c RRmRge, the
c. II Hubbard family monument, which
in beauty of design aud artistic work is
far superior to anything Of the kind ever
before erected in his section Of country.
la fact, Mr.. Ramage, executed ali the
work in this cemetarv, amounting in cost
value TO about $4,000.
What source Of comfort It is TO

this Sabbath evening in this beautiful,
