Ruskin’s Grave.

Ten years ago John Ruskln passed peacefully away at Coniston. A grave in Westminster Abbey was immediate ly offered by the dean, but was refused out of respect for Ruskln’s frequently expressed wish that he might be buried wherever he chanced to die, says the Westminster Gazette. He wag Maid to rest in Coniston churchyard on Jan. 25. In poets’ corner there is a medallion of him by Onslow Ford, immediately above the bust of Sir Walter Scott. In his native Camberwell the master’s memory is perpetuated by the bestowal of his name upon the finely wooded park on Denmark hill, within a stone’s throw of his old home.
