Fashions in TombstOnes.

There are fashions IN tombstones, but,
they change slowly. The styles of the
present do not differ much from those of
twenty years ago, but a difference is
noticed in those set up fifty or more
years ago. There were never columns
N those days. As now, the cheaper
stones were plain slabs. One of the ex-
pensivc shapes, which always marked a
distinguished grave, was a marble slab
Laid horizontally on four marble columns,
making Il sort OF 4 table. The inscrip.
ton was carved on the top, which al
lowed plenty Of space for verses, which
40 wesregu!atcd cravestone of the first
part Of the century could do without.
These verses, which read 50 quantity now,
were always written by the pastor. 1t was
his duty when Il OF his parishioner5
died TO compose suitable stanza, and
tae ministers were always paid for them
Il thing that few periodicals. even 0
those days would have done. In olden
times nothing but b~rownstone and
sandstone wa used. The carving was
crude, and one Of the requirements of
fashion was -, every slab should have
4 human face carved over the inscrip-
ton. The stylish erayestone to have

SEEING my friend somewhat puzzled at

are the lamps of the angels guarding the
gates of heaven, and that a shooting star
is a lamp carclessly dropped.
The idea is pretty" he rejoined,
''but surely they are not SO ignorant in
