It is almost uniformly insecure and temporary at the best, while the nature of the erection makes it impossible to avoid, after a time, some inconveniences, inconsistent with the general good appearance of the Cemetery. These must be understood by those who have visited Phe la Chaise. On this point, a correspondent of one of the Boston papers some years since, remarks as follows:??"It is a part of the original design of this establishment, though not an obligatory one, that interments shall be made in single or separate graves, rather than in tombs. The abundant space afforded by the extensiveness of the tract which has been purchased, precluhttp://www.cheapoakley-sunglassesoutlets.com/. cheap oakley sunglasses des the necessity of constructing vaults for the promiscuous concentration of numbers. It is believed that the common grave affords the most simple, natural and secure method by which the body may return to the bosom of the earth, to be peacefully blended with its original dust.

It is desired that the place may become beautiful, attractive, consoling,—not gloomy and repulsive, —that what the earth has once covered it shall not again reveal to light,—that the resources of art shall not be wasted in vain efforts to delay or modify the inevitable courses of nature. It is hoped, therefore, that any sums which individuals may think it proper to devote to the improvement of the place of sepulture of themselves and their friends, may be expended above the surface of the earth,—not under it.

ing result, it was deemed expedient that our efforts should first be directed to the accomplishment of objects which would not require very extensive pecuniary resources; that we should proceed with great caution, and by a prudential management of our means, gradually develope a more complete and efficient system for rendering the institution as extensively useful as it was necessary and important . Public favor was to be propitiated by the adoption of such incipient measures as were best calculated to encourage patronage, and insure ultimate success.??With these views, the labors of the Society have been confined to the collection and dissemination of intelligence, plants, scions, and seeds, in the various departments of Horticulture. An extensive correspondence was therefore opened with similar associations in this country and in Europe, as well as with many gentlemen who are distinguished for their theoretical attainments, practical information, and experimental researches, in all the branches of rural economy, on http://www.michaelkorsoutletonline-vip.com/!

Many interesting and instructive communications have been received, and valuable donations of books, seeds, and plants have been made by generous foreigners, and by citizens of the United States. A liberal ohttp://www.monclers-outlets.com/, Moncler Outlet http://www.michaelkorscheapstore.com/: Michael Kors Outlet ffer of co-operation has been promptly tendered in both hemispheres, and great advantages are anticipated from a mutual interchange of good offices.??A library of considerable extent has been formed, containing many of the most celebrated Ehttp://www.cheapoakley-sunglassesoutlets.com/. cheap oakley sunglasses nglish and French works on Horticulture, several of which are magnificent .
