quired and those requiring lots const
purchase in this new ground because-
no lots are left in the old. I under-
stand that the present directors are of
opinion that some new departure
should' be taken; that the old ground
should be pat and kept in asomewhat;
decent state; that some steps should
at once be taken to las out the new
ground in a s steniatic and aesthetic
manner; that all kinds of plants and
trees should not be planted in the new
one as in the old ground, to its future•
andP ersmauent spoiling; that suitable
trees, etc., should at once be planted,
in the new ground; and that soave au-
thority should assume' control of the:'
cemetery for the future, so that it will,
be a pride and not an odium on the-
town and country around.
To -day r cemetery would be a
grace in Pagan, China,'.shosemetho O
g ,cam-•
and morals we so abhor. Surely ely yre'•
should pay as much respect to oat,
dead as the heathen Chinee does.
