Rock Creek Church Ynrd.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Why was it made cemetery? And why
should it now be known as a cemetery? AS
it was long known as a church yard, and
Is now in reality church yard and has
been for more than a century, SO we think
1t should be known and called a church
yard, Gods acre" much more and much
rather than a cemetery. 1t is possible that
Congress might have granted US a charter
with cemetery rights and powers but as
this was uncertain, and would require much
time and effort, it was concluded best to
incorporate under the general act for Sc
curing cemetery rights. But as the old YES
try and church, and church yard, are the
same now as before our Incorporation, only
our church yard has grown and been en-
larged until it is. now the most extensive
and beautiful church yard in the world,
and so stands alone without peer and SO
we covet the name of church yard much
more than cemetery; though We are both.
Gods acre by Divine right and mans acre
by secular charter. 1t may be asked, why
make a point of this? / answer for many
reasons, but chiefly for two reasons-There
is much that is cheerful and comforting In
living near an old parish church, with its
hallowed hopes overshadowing its reposing
dead; but there is none in a mere cemetery;
and, secondly, as a church yard eve are
something great; but cemetery not
much. Hence. for one, know it and speak
of 1t only as a church yard, Bishop Coke
says: Bury me not in a Metropolis" 1
say. Amen. J. A. B.

Wife selling in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, at

en- Ball public house, New street, Preston,
party of men and women assembled to
celebrate by general Publication one of
those illegal and disgusting bargains which
even yet take place occasionally among
the lower classes in Lancas hire-the sale
of a wife On Monday night, at the inn
above named, James Dilworth, alias 'Jem-
my Fat, a baker, led into a room full of
company, with hands bound and a halter
round her neck, his wife Agnes a comely
woman, about twenty-seven years of age,
WHO is a winder at mill, and offered her
for sale by auction. She was put up at
shilling, on which a girl in the room
offered "a shilling more" One of the men
bid half a crown, and after the 'chattep
had stood at this some time she was
knocked down to him. During the even
irg, however, Hy. Gudgeon, a factory
operative, gave the purchaser Cd. for his
bargain, making the price to him s., and
she was transferred to him. We are in
formed that Dilworth and his wife, who
have been married some time, lived very
unhappily together, and that he has had
enc or two children affiliated on him since
his marriage, which was the primary cause
of their quarrels. During the whole time of
the sale she took the affair quite good
humoredly, and seemed nothing 10th to part
with her legal lord and master."-Liverpool
Courier.
Can any civilized portion of the globe
furnish parallel to this? We hope not.
In the nineteenth century, and in Chris
tan England the mind can scarcely con-
template such an act without shrinking
into despair for the doom this barbarism
must entail on the people who can permit
such scenes to be enacted among them.
And yet it is nothing new in Lancashire.
How the press of England would ring out
its comments and fling it's censures with
nterciless vim were such a scene as this
to occur in the United States or in any
other civilized country. A. G.
