ing resurrection from the dead
ness Of winter. Fit symbOl this
of that most glorious awakening
which awaits the dust here sleep
ing.
There is no death, out only
an awaiting; and it is this knowl-
edge which makes of this spot
sacred ground this coupled
with the hearts promise of unfad-
ing memory, and the souls con
Tossing faith in a coming reunion
with you who here sleep. That
YOU still live after the abandon
ment of the body we know. That
wherever they may rear their
ineffable submits there you "a
bide upon the mountains of God,
though here, given into the keep
ing of those who mourned you,
rests all that of you was mortal.
We cannot look into that place
of ineffable beauty whittier you
have gone, but here we have the
keeping sacred of the spot where
rests the body that we know, the
body which on going hence you
resignedinto reverent, Borrowing
hands the hands of those who
made silent, solemn promise that
the earth holding the beloved
dust should forever be holy
ground. So, in your departing
you did not utterly break the
outer visible bonds which for
long had bound you to us; for,
added to the ever closening tie
of your memory of those you
seemed to leave, and, in that
rarer air in which you move, the
heightened and tireleSs love you
pour upon US from thence, added
to these is the visible earth with
in whose bosom you rest, and in
hearts of those you are ever rem
embering abides always the
thought of you. Thus this be-
comes sacred ground; ground
hallowed doubly, and notaloneby
the home it gives the body sleep
ing the last long sleep, but be-
cause from here arises aspira-
tons, a longing after holiness,
the purifying dews of sacred
sorrow, and the lifting of the
soul heavenward. Here is a little
mound, rounded over the form
of some loved child; a babe over
whose removal hence a mothers
heart is broken in tears and pain.
Can any doubt but that as often
as her memory has rested here
a luminous shining went up to
heaven from the lowly spot, the
showing forth of a mothers un-
quenchable love? And this grave
nearby. The earth should be
resting soft on her who lies be.
meath, for she was young, only
come to the budding of a most
beautiful promise of pure and
lovely womanhood when those
who cherished were called to lay
her here. Her body lay in a cas-
ket a 1awless dream of beauty,
more beautiful than the ideal of
any dream shaping sculptor,
when the earth covered her from
sight, forever.
Further on, and here is the
memorial stone of an aged man,
a servant of his Maker all the
years of his life. For fourscore
years he offered amongst men
the influence of uprightness,
and the end was peace. And,
now, We stand beside one who
fulfilled the perfectness of right
wifehood and motherhood; and
scarce divided from the mound
is that Of her husband, who was
a man as man was meant to
e,-and was through life a
strength she delighted TO rest
in as one gathering honor there.

NfNuNNs III ness
of the carriages brings to nom.
entary stop an athlete, a runner
of a time race, who hesitates
only a moment to determine
whether he will thread the Scant
openings between or lose time
waiting for the passing of the
train of vehicles. To his credit
be it said he waited until the
carriages holding the family o.
the dead passed on, then he shot
through. Why not, since the
cemetery has been used as a
common highway for more than
twenty years? There is not a
day in the week but that two
score or more miners use a track
trodden clear across the enclo-
sure. This year the negroes
have begun to follow the usage,
and as l fingered about the
grounds eight of these went to
make up the tale of fourteen be,
grimed men who chose the Gem
etery instead of keeping to the
equally available highroad. On
they strobe disdaining the av-
enues, and setting a heavy, ruth,
less tread on the graves of man,
woman, and child in a like dis
regard for each.
Once in going into the grounds
late in an afternoon l noticed
an absorbing circle of young
men huddled upon the lot of a
friend, and going near saw they
were engaging in a game of
chance, with money laid out in
sight for the hazard. At a rep
remand and threat they moyed
off the lot, but did not leave the
Enclosure. All bore the marks of
evil on their faces, but he who
shambled up from a headstone
bearing the name of a girl whose
purity of life made her fit to be
a lily in the garden of Paradise,
had so brutal a countenance that
it awakened wonder that human.
ity could know so low a plane.
A flower was laid upon the des-
ecrated stone with the senti-
ment of atonement in some sort,
and | came away still so filed
with revolt against the state Of
things that l was led to stop
and question a group of children
who were noisily romping about
amongst the graves. Tell me
why it is that you come here, all
the way from the bluff and Irish
town to find a place to play" l
asked. The answer came, Law,
nobody don't care. Everybody
comes here for anything they
wants to come for, all the time.
How well.founded their rights!
Nobody cares!
Have they into whose hands
was given your last resting place
for reverent keeping indeed for
gotten you, Oh sleepers in Mach
pelah? But there are worse des-
ecrations, yet, wrought here. 1t
can be recalled that here broken
beer bottles have been known to
record drunken carousals, and
trodden sward an accompanying
dance orgy. Is this the worst
at last? No, there is yeti darker
thing, a thing of such evil that
it shrinks back into the hiding
of densest shadows, refusing to
be named. This sacred resting
place Of the dead is at all times
an unguarded spot, and the shad-
of night make of it a
place utterly unprotected, so
any evil which may desire to
Turk there can do so in guilty
secrecy. Still secrets as in the
the evil has been found out.
How easy it would be to change
this by keeping even in part
the promises of the dead implied
in calling their graves sacred.
