with man to decide; but between the rich and the poor there needs but a glance, and an inquiry as to fees, to satisfy. any one that the poor will be some time before they are admitted into these " high places." Still we trust the day is near at hand, when Rural Cemeteries will be looked upon in a very different light to what they have been; that it will be thought necessary to take better care of the dead, in order to improve the health of the living; that however much opposition there may be to the allotment system amongst us now, we shall not begrudge that common allotment which will allow six feet of earth for each interred, so that they who never had a freehold whilst living, may at last inherit one undisturbed, nor be called upon to resign their claim until they have mingled "clay with clay." |
