Communicated
"Tho Silent city of the Dend.,,


1t is a recognized fact that all men should
be interested in securing a suitable resting
place for the departed Because, from
every marble shaft and every velvet mound
that rises in the quiet tcities of the dead,
a whisper trembles, telling the dreadful
fnality Of hunal life. Next to our hearth
stones, around which cluster the dearest
joys of life, comes the final resting place of
our dead. 1t is bnrbarious to give the low
ed and unforgotton toothe rank weeds and
to the hand of desecraGon, as if they had
no place in our affections. Let us make a
home for them, as beautiful as a dream,
which shall last as long as the stars shine,
or the river rolls its bright waters to the
sea. The place should be made so attract
i've that affection will make repeated and
delightful visits there, and around which
memory, even from distant lands. will
fondly linger.
The above thoughts We're brought out by
a visit to our Hillsboro Cemetery, and in an
interview with the Executive Committee, 1
find they have, with the assistance of Ben
famine Grove, Esq. of Louisville, Ky,
laid out two new sections, containing about
800 lots, nearly all of which are beautifully
located, all are graded and sown with seed,
saving any further expense Of that kind.
The avenues for driving when completed
will be delightful The walks and alleys
will be sodded, which will add much to the
beauty Of the grounds. We find many i'm
provements in the older sections, which
have added much to their beauty. Also
plans for further improving and boautify-
ing are in embryo, but lack of funds will
retard further improvements for the pres
ent. By reference to the books of the as
sociation we find over four hundred lot
holders and near twelve hundred inter
ments. Quite a city Of the dead. It is a
pleasure to have a personal interest in such
beautiful grounds, and every one in all the
country should purchase one of these lots,
and sit it apart for himself and family. If
necessary we should part with luxuries of
life, nay, trench upon It's very necessities,
to make the investment. Every dollar re-
ceiyed for the sale of lots is expended in
improving and identifying the grounds.
On reading the bylaws of the association
we find that the trustees have made an APP
peal to all lot holders for a fund to consti-
tute Trust Fund, which is commendabIe,
and if complied with, would be a source of
relief while dying, to know that your last
resting place would be cared for all the
time.
Imust repeat what one of Executive
Committee said to the writer, viz, IF
those that are owing the association would
pay up, there would be such change for
the better that all would say, Amen, earth

In this, however, there is much very
high authority against me, including
Mr.. Miller, Of Lebanon. and Mr..
Gardner, of Nashville.
The constant milking keeps the I'D

from spoiling about calving time. And
this IS we'll known to be one of the
greatest dangers tn which this breed
Of cows is subject. know it is said
that the cow ought to rest month or
SO before her time comes, and that the
constant milking is great drain on
her strength. In answer l suggest
that the COW generally gives but little
milk for several months preceding her
delivery, and the quantity diminishes
MS the time approaches. ] cannot
think the taking of aquart or pint Of
milk twice a day from great animal
weighing thousand pounds could be
seriously felt. The secretion of the
milk is as natural and as easy process
as the secretion and throwing off OF
urine. And if the animal is well fed
and housed she suffers no more from
the one than the other. Al any rate
after FIVE or six years experience aud
observation, | have found that the
constant milking up to the time Of
calving has not in any wise affected
