Urging a Burial Reform.

There has lately been good deal of COM
plant about the mode of burial in Jewish
cemetery on Long Island. The complaint is
that in many cases no collins are used. The
body is brought to the grave in box, which
is opened beside the grave and the body taken
out. The box is then taken apart and some
of the boards put into the grave. The body
is then placed on these, the other boards laid
over it, and the grave filled up. This kind
of burial is said to b ''scandalous," and also
highly Objectionable in sanitary sense, and
quite fuss is made about it in the neighbor-
hood of the cemetery in question.
Very we'll But at the very time the fuss
is going on and getting into the papers, a
meeting of churchmen is held in New York
to urge a "burial reform" very closely re-
sembling the condemned custom in the Jew
ish cemetery Dr. Huntington, pastor of
Grace church, presided at the meeting, and
several other Episcopal clergymen were
present The practice of inclosing the dead
in tight collins or caskets, and then inclosing
these in strong boxes was declared to be bad
in every way, as it arrests the quick decay
which the great chemist, Nature, intends
shall take place. One of the speakers, de-
scribing funeral customs, said that until the
time of Charles ii coffins were unknown.
Bodies were laid on planks, with a turf at
the mead and foot, and the grave then closed
over them. So there does not seem to be
anything very shocking in the custom at that
Jewish cemetery, after all 1t is an old
English custom, rather than barbarous one
peculiar to the poorer Polish Jews. And, in,
stead of being bad in d sanitary way, the
clergymen appear to think it much better
than ours.-New York Cor. Detroit Free

The story is told Of young Boston sales
man, who, going to the mountains, found
there magnet so strong that he lost account
of time, and at length was unable to re-
concile the expenses Of his prolonged stay
with the sum total of funds at his disposal
Then again, were he obliged to leave his
trunk behind as security for the balance due,
he would arrive in the city with a ward
robe almost as depleted as was that of the
famous Flora McFlimsy, and the small
amount he would be able to set aside from
his moderate weekly salary would be so long
in liquidating his summer debt that his case
was desperate one, especially as he was
great dresser. To get the trunk from the
house without attracting attention, and con-
sequently preventing an embarrassing scene,
ras an impossibility; to do without the con-
ents Of the trunk appeared equally impos-
,ible. He was perfectly honest in his intent

ment, but the dreaded interval that must
elapse was too fearful to contemplate, with
the prospect of his well selected wardrobe

apparently the only way out of the difficulty

him by leaving the trunk as security, was

In the city of the dead,
In the city where they sleep away the hours,
But they lie, while DER them range
Winter blight and summer change,
And hundred happy whsperings Of fower>
No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day Is like the night,
For their vision is Of other kind than ours
They do neither sing nor sigh
In the burgh Of by and by,
Where the streets have grasses growing, cool
and long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better far than sob or song.
No, they neither sigh nor sing,
Though the robin be awning,
Though the leaves Of autumn march o million
strong.
There Is only rest and peace
In the city Of Surcease,
From the failngs and the wailings meath the sun,
And the wings Of the swift years
Beat but gently DER the biers,
Making music TO the sleepers, every one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them 1t seemeth best,
For they lie at ease, and know that life Is done.

'sEndurable Life'' for Children.

The Lon lon Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Children has, after several
years of careful study of the needs Of
street children, prepared bill for their
relief. It makes it penal ofense to send
q child into the streets to beg, directly or
indirectly. That is, no child must sing or
play or sweep crossings to attract char
ity, under IA years of age. The principle
is that every child "shau have an endur-
able life" The old common law principle
that father owns his child is about
worn out. The state has stepped in to
interfere and act as a supreme protector.
The little victims, when they are done
for, after brief career of suffering to
support their parents, are to be found
suffering and dying on floors of attics
and cellars or in hospitals" The tale of
beggar children is too terrible to be told.
It is murder of the worst sort. It is high
time law stepped in everywhere to pre-
vent the pauperizing of children and to
protect "even the children of tramps."-

But once, to speak them full and round and clear
They suit the speech, or song, and suit the ear,
Like bells that give one tone when they are rung;
Or bird notes on the air, like rain drops flung,
That pour their joy for all who pause to heAv.
Their short, quick chords the dull sense charm
and cheer
That tires and shrinks from words to great length
strung
Strong words, of old, that shot right to the
brain,
And hut the heart as soon, were brief and terse
Who finds them now, and fits them to his sling,
Smooth stones from brooks Of English are nus

Which shall make stroag his thought, In prose or
