hear today; but while look at his statue
| cannot help but think of the discords
with which his fellow musicians tried to
destroy him. There Is the tomb of John
Dryden, beautiful monument but |
cannot help but think Mt 10 years of age
he wrote Of his being oppressed in for
tune and of the contract that he had just
made for thousand verses at sixpence
line. And there, too, you find the monu-
ment Of Samuel Butler, the author of
"Hudibras;" but while look at his mon
umcnt in Poets corner | cannot but ask
myself where he died. In garrett There
| see the costly tablet in the Poets cor
ner-thc costly tablet TO one Of whom
the celebrated Waller wrote: "The old
blind schoolmaster, John Milton, has just
issued a tedious poem on the fall OF man.
If the length Of it be no virtue, it has
none" There is a beautiful monument
to Shcl4isn. Poor Sheridan! If he could
have only discounted that monument for
n mutton chop.
Make the Living Happy.
oh, you unhlal children. do not give
your parents so much tombstone, but a
few more blankets-ess funeral and
more bedroom! If ) per cent of the mon
ey we now spend on Burns bnnquets
the living Scotch poet comfortable, he
would not have been harried with the
drudgery of an exciseman. Horace Gree
lev outrageously abused while living,
when dead is followed toward Greenwood
by the president OF the United States and
the leading men of the army and navy.
Massachusetts tries TO atone at the grave
of Charles Sumner for the ignominioua
resolutions with which her legislature de-
nounced the living senator. DO you think
that the tomb at Springfield can pay for
Booths bullet?
Oh, do justice TO the living, All the
justice you do them you must do this side
the gates of the Metropolis. They cannot
wake up to count the number of carriages
at the obse9uies or to notice the polish OF
the Aberdeen granite or TO read epitaphal
commemoration Gentleman's mauso-
lcum in the suburbs of Jerusalem cannot
pay for Bethlehem manger and Calva-
rean cross and Pilates ruffiah judiciary.
Post norton honors cannot atone for
ante norton ignomnies.
Again, standing in this garden Of the
sepnlchcr, | am impressed with the fact
that floral and arborescert decorations
are appropriate for the place OF the dead
We are glad that among flowers and
sculptural adornmcnts Christ spent thu
short time Of his inhumation
