 this question will: seem to have 
 
 been utterly. abandoned, and the last-named 
 
 ze has become - exceedingly | limited. in; its: use. 
 a There. remain, then, as the answers, which 
 ei oatarelly be | given to. the spite & ‘What 
 
 tere tie eg: or iho ceintireall, 
 
 _ been answered. For a. period 
 which man has. never measured 
 is . men have. died, and their bodies 
 have. been, left. unburied, or they have been — 
 oe buried : or entombed or burned. “As barbarism ; 
 x and heathenism have given. place to civilization — 
 and. rational religion, the first-named mode has — 
 
 
 
 disposition shall be made of the dead 2”) “Bury 
 
 them or entomb them.” And toomany, who 
 
 are: far: above: the. average din: intelligence’ and 
 thoughtfulness, these answers: wall either seem 
 
 sufficient: or all that can be given. - 
 Nevertheless, to both these’ ithe, as site 
 
 have. hitherto been practised; serious, if. not 
 
 fatal, objections have been made 5 ‘and only be- 
 
 -eause it seemed that there was no escape from 
 
 their contimiance, was there little. effort made 
 to: discover: and: advocate a better mode, . The 
 
 j objections. to earth-burial and: ¢onimon entomb- 
 
 ment are, that they expose: the lifeless body to 
 
 
 
theft; that, when life is 3 
 the helpless inmate of $ 
 death that is too dr eadful to | nk 
 in the tomb, still more in ‘the. grave, the dead 
 long remain a menace to the living, as they pol- 
 lute the earth, the water that permeates. it, and 
 the air that circulates above it, The time is 
 come when only the unintelligent can be unin- 
 formed of these facts, and only the unreflecting 
 indifferent to them; and already the ktiowledge 
 of these facts has prowl to the intelligent and 
 reflecting a pr ofound and permanent conviction 
 that the evil is so great that it demands as quick 
 and complete a removal:as possible 5 that not a 
 day oran hour should be lost in ascertaining and 
 applying the remedy forthe manifold we which 
 the dead now inflict upon thelivmg! 9 
 This conviction explains, as it oan ean ex 
 plain, the earnestness’ and_ persistence: with 
 which, in recent years, cremation: has” been 
 lifted from the disuse into which it had lapsed, 
 and urged upon a reluctant — as eee effec- 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 mt “Bie iteruast against the dangers of Ve: hee 
 ‘and the grave. ‘This alone explains the odium nee 
 that has been’ endured ‘and the sacrifices that 
 have been made in the endeavor to procure _ 
 popular approval of this unacceptable mode of BS 
 
 % re; anid that : 
 
 
 
 disposing of the dead ; and were there no other 
 mode that would gain’ as well the same great 
 end, this conviction would compel, on the part. 
 of all who are governed by regard for the wel. 
 fare of their kind, the burning of their dead, in 
 spite of the antral and inevitable ay: 
 and the invocation of the aid to vende 
 the universal use. ~~ : 
 - Happily, however, ‘there is doves mode of 
 disposing of the dead that’ does not endanger 
 
 
 
 
 
 the'living, and that spares the living: ‘the pain. 
 that cremation inflicts upon them.” The dis 
 covery of this mode, like that of every great 
 advance in the arts of civilized life, was made — = 
 as s00n as the inventive mind felt the’ pressure = 
 
 of the necessity. This brought the New Man.

 Christian ‘nations’ from) very. early “times ‘until 
 a period comparatively ‘reeent, and’ not yet

 wholly discontinued, has been repeatedly proved 
 to be injurious to: the’ “heénth ‘of a community, 
 in proportion as such” spaces oF ground are over 
 
 crowded with bodies.” This mali ign influence’ is 
 most apparent during” epidemics, when the mor- 
 tality in the vieinity” of these Hated promis has 
 been frequently observed’ ‘to be excessive.”

 largely condemnéd ‘the: vemeteries of ah own

 “Tn the last report on” this: Bose: an ats

 vouled by éxhalations from overcrowded burial

 out ‘proper: ‘regard to soil or ‘under-drainage. 
 Since the paper was written the developments 
 made by the township committee of North Ber-

 great emphasis: thereto. “They have shown that

 The ‘Maischoanr fas received sci ‘men: 
 - tion from the time of Strabo to the twelfth cen- 
 tury of the Christian’ era. 
 - gen, writing in the ‘fourth century, notes that 
 its sanctity had evidently not been violated. — 
 Eustathius, writing in the twelfth century, in” 
 his commentary upon the Thad, says: “It was 
 and is a wonder.” Between this and the fol: 
 lowing century, what man had thus far spared 
 _ succumbed to some convulsion of nature; for, 
 in 1402, when the Knights of St. John’ ‘tbok 
 
 possession of the site fora stronghold against 
 
 the Saracens, the Mausoleum was no more, and 
 its dismembered fragments served as the mate- 
 rials of the new fortification. The work of de- 
 struction was not complete, however, until 1522, 
 
 when, the Sultan Solyman seeming to threaten 
 
 Rhodes, the Grand Master sent the Knights 
 again to the site of the city of Mausolus to 
 further strengthen the Castle of St. Peter. Then 
 the stones of the base of the Mausoleum were, 
 
 for the first time, disturbed, and the ‘sepulchral —

 Our present knowledge of the Mausoleum is 
 
 due to the investigations of Mr. C. T. Newton, 
 
 keeper of the Greek and Roman antiquities in 
 the British Museum. Following the deseription 
 
 ‘which Pliny has left; and wiided by his dis 
 
 his faithful 
 
 éoveries, he has reached the conclusion that the 
 Mausoleum was composed of a Basement, 65 
 feet in height; a Peristyle, or enclosure of col- 
 umns, within which stood a structare of richly 
 decorated solid walls, 37 feet in height ; a Pyra- 
 mid, 25 feet in height; and upon the Pyramid, 
 or upon a Pedestal. that rose therefrom, a Four- 
 Horse Chariot, iu which stood gigantic statues 
 of King Mausulus and a female figure, that may 
 have been intended for his favoring deity or for 
 spouse. The entire height was 
 about 140 feei, and may have been considerably 
 more; the length of the Basement was 114 feet, 
 and its width ¥2 feet. : .

 redemption, and of their final rescue of a portion 
 of its soil from the Saracen’s grasp for the 
 
 ‘Pisa’s pious and famous dead. 
 
 After a time, the Campo- Santo was aaclows: 
 
 with lofty walls, and these were roofed and 
 enclosed within by inner walls pierced by ex: 
 
 sai quisite Gothic windows, which were intended to 
 
 “be filled with colored glass and tracery of holy 
 forms and faces. Upon the inner surfaces of the 
 outer walls were painted representations of 
 Death, the Judgment, Heayen, and Hell,— 
 harsh and anwholesame for this age of ours, 
 
 but profoundly. impressive and. sublime,—by 
 Giotto, Oreagna, Simone Memmi, and others. 
 
 "Against the wall stand monuments and tombs, 
 
 many of which were prepared for those whom : 
 
 - they contain and commemorate, but many also 
 _ of which served first an ancient use, and long 
 
 after were made to take again the dead of a

 Thus, with all that tells of the only “Holy 
 
 interment of their dead, and with all the memo-

 and lamented, and with all that tells, as the 
 story nowhere else is so well told, of the stern 
 and honest artisans of the Pisan Middle Age, 
 and with all the sweetness: of the spot, the 
 
 graceful enclosing cloisters, the verdant sod, the 
 
 genial sunshine, the gentle wind, and the song 
 of birds, the Campo-Santo sets a. type and. pre- 
 
 sents a picture that the modern world may well 
 
 adopt and strive to reproduce for the resting- 
 places of their dead. Indeed, so felicitous has 
 the title seemed, that almost throughout the
