1t rs said that the giant tortoise OF
the Seychelles islands is the longest
lived animal in the world. The known
age of one now living is $50 years, and
this dates from the time the creature
was full grown. How old it was at theI

Westminster abbey. There Is Han
del, the great musician. from whose
music you hear today: but while
look at his statue l cannot help but
think of the discords with which his
fellow-musicians tried to destroy him.
There is the tomb Of John Dryden, a
beautiful monument: but l can not
help but think at 70 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 six
pence line. And there. too, you find
the monument of Samuel Butler, the
author Of "Hudibras;" but while
look at his monument In poets corner
l cannot but ask myself where he died.
In a garret. There I see the costly
tablet In the poets corner-the costly
tablet to one Of whom the celebrated
Waller wrote: THE old blind school
master, John Milton, has just issued
a tedious poem on the fall OF man. If
the length of it be no virtue, 1t has
none" There Is a beautiful monu-
ment to Sheridan. Poor Sheridan! II
he could have only discounted that
monument for mutton chop!

Oh, you unfilial children, do not give
your parents so much tombstone, but
few more blankets-less funeral and
more bedroom! II per cent OF the
money we now spend on Burns ban

Horace Greeley, 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 ignominious resolu-
tions 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

Again. standing in this garden of the

fact that floral and arborescent decor
ations are appropriate for the place of
the dead. We are glad that among
flowers and sculptural adornments.
Christ spent the short time Of his in
humation.
l cannot understand what I some
times see in the newspapers where the
obsequies are announced and the
friends say in connection with it, Send
no flowers" Rather, If the means al
low-I say If the means allow-strew
the casket with flowers, the hearse
with flowers, the grave with flowers.
Put them on the brow-it wiV suggest

Flowers mean resurrection. Death is
sad enough anyhow. Let conserva-

alleviation. The harebell will ring the

aslant and the mound caved in and
the grass a pasture ground for the
sexton's, cattle? Indeed, were your
father and mother of SO little worth
that you cannot afford to take care Of
their ashes? Some day turn out all
hands and straighten the slab and
bank up the mound and cut away the
weeds, and plant the shrubs and dow-
era.
Some day you will want to lie down
pect any respect for your bones If you
have no Difference for the bones Of
your ancestry. Do you think these rel
les are of no importance? You will
see Of how much importance they are
in the day when the archangel takes
out his trumpet. Turn all your ceme-
teries into gardens.
Again, standing In this garden Of the
new sepulcher. am impressed with
the dignity Of private and unpretend-
ing obsequies.
Joseph was mourner. sexton, livery
man-had entire charge Of everything.
Only four people at the burial Of the
King Of the Universe! Oh, let this be
consolatory to those who through lack
Of means or through lack Of large ac-
quaintance have but little demonstra-
tion Of grief at the graves Of their
loved ones. Long line Of glittering
eQuipage. two rows of silver handles,
casket Of richest wood, pallbearers
gloved and scarfed, are not necessary.
II there be six at the grave. Christ
looks down from heaven and remem-
bers that Is two more than were at his
obsequies.
Not recognising this idea, how many
small properties are scattered and wid-
owhood and orphanage go forth into
cold charity! The departed left small
property, which would have been
enough to keep the family together uni
til they could take care of themselves,
but the funeral expenses absorbed ev-
erything. That went for Grape which
ought to have gone for bread. A man
Of moderate means can hardly afford
to die in any Of our great cities By
all means, do honor to departed, but do
not consider funeral pageant as neces-
sary. No one was ever more loving
ly and tenderly put away to sepulchsr
than Christ our Lord. but there were
only four people in the procession.
Wake Up to Gladness.
Again, standing in this garden with
q new sepulcher, am impressed with
the fact that you cannot keep the dead
