Another an angel, with wings spread and hair 11 Ting, Bailing through space on a cloud, her right hand resting on a large book to which is suspended an immense pair of evenly balanced scales, and her left hand pointing to Heaven. One feels oertain beyond a doubt, as be looks at it, that if the angel is full grown, eacn scoop of tbescale "is amply big enough to weigh an ox in. Still another is a large slab on which is an eagie in bold relief. The wings of the bird are extended in the most approval "upreadeagle" style. In its beak is a long, flattering scroll. One foot is resting on a shit Id and the other on a bunch of crossed tlags and the whole surmounts some very remarkable kind of drapery the intent of which wo were not able to fathoin. Below all this, surrounded and intertwined with the most bewildering maze of flowers, vines, etc., is the inscriptiou and this verse:

are almost a perfect dead level. The placo is laid out in narrow and monotonous straight streets and walks all crossing oach other r.t right angles and ono can stand at any point in it, now that the trees are bare of leaves, and see all over it. Undoubtedly it has less of the picturesque about it than any other cemetery of its also and age in the country.

For drives and walks we have perfectly straight streets and alloys, covered with loose gravel in which one sinks to his shoo-tops at evory step. For bandsomo shrubbery and welltrim med lawns we have a few ragged and neglected evergreens and all the autumn's erop of doad leaves still on the gruund. For views wo can look in ono direction at some brick yards, and in another at the Pest House. But this is wandering. We beg pardon. We wero speaking of QUKKU TOM.B-8TONKS AND QUKKK I»'BCR1 P-

TIONS.

Wo will return to these and mention them Just a« they occur. One of the first to attract our attention is a small marble bearing two clasped haads and these Herman words—"Ewlg tneln— Ewlg deln." The meaning is, in English, "ever inino--ever thine," and is very pretty. The stone marks the grave of|Helnrli"h Schlaman, who died In 1863 at the age of forty-thjree. Near thia grave is one marked simply 'Little Grette,' aged 2 years and 3 months, died la 1*03." That is twelve years ago, yet there aro fresh (lowers on the grave, *put there no longer ago perhaps than yesterday. They prove that somebody living still remembers and loves "LJttle XJrotteand who Is there so likoly to be that somebody as Little Gretts'a mother? We do not know.

ANC1KNT ARCHITECTURE.

Thcro aro two kinds of sepulchral monstrosities to be found in our cemetery which we can't see how anybody calling himself a christian could ever have had the heart to erect. They are built ol good marble, and at that day must have oost considerable money. One of them is composed of a largo and very heavy slab resting on four, or six, turned legs, and hss all tbe appearance of a first class butchers-block or table —the one from which sausago-meat is retailed. The other nightmare looks exactly like a very narrow "single" bedstead with the legs cut off and the slats out. It is set right flat oyer the grave, and the inscription appears upon the head-board. If anything it is the worst looking aflairof the two. If any body can look at either without a shudner we shall We gratified to hear of it^

PIONKER8.

William C. Linton and Thomas II. Blake were in a certain sense representative men of tbe early times in which they lived. They sleep now nesr each other. The former died January 31, 1835. Mis monument, a plain marble shaft, bears this tribute to his memory:

Ho was one of the earliest settlers of Terro Haute—one of its most successful merchants. The friend and patron of the young, hundreds yet survive to revero his memory and thelrchlldren rise up to call it blessed.

The

and

impress of his genius and

his

enterprise will long survive all that is mortal of

the

upright citizen,the kind friend

the

public benefactor."

This is an exact copy of the i»iscrip tion on Col. Blake's monument. Tho malignant work of the marble-butcher will bo seen in tiie capitalization:

Here lies the mortal remains of Thomas H.Ulake, born In Calvert county, M. d. July 25,1702, Died in Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov •iS, 1849. 'He was one of the earliest settlers of this place. Had been President Judge of a circuit, A Representative in Congress, Commissioner of the Ueti'l Land Office, Filled other offices of responsibility Under ihe State and General Governments, And was at tlio time of his death The resident Trustee Of the Wabash and Erie Canal. For honor, frankness and integrity, As a firm and generous friend, He was extensively known, And died without reproach Upon his name, Leaving a memory for noble manly virtues That will long be cherished.

A UV1NQ MAH'S QRAVR.

In the northeast corner of the first division of the cemetery is a grave marked out, with marble head and foot stones, whose owner and future occupant is a well known citizen and who is almost daily seen upon the streets looking as little like a dead man as any person of his age that can be named. Very singularly he has chosen to make all his ar rangements for burial, before bis death He has given minute and careful directions to tbe superintendent of tbe cemetery ss to bow his body is to be Interred and it is even said that he keeps his coffin, shroud, Ac., in his house and sometimes, in his moments of relaxation from earthly cares, attires himself in the habiliments of the grave and rehearses for his own private amusement the grim pantomime that is to en tbe last scene of all. For man I feat reasons tho lettering on the grave stone is in an unfinished oonditlon. So for as it is completed, it reads, "M. W. Sedam, July, 4,1808." The date is that of birth. It seems like a singular freak in Mr. Sedam but he is a gentleman whom everybody respects, and his right to do as be pleases in this matter can not be questioned. '•$ notkwortht GRAVES.

Among tbe ndtsworthy graves Is that of the father of Wm. Patrick, Esq., and the late Dr. O. W. Patrick. Tbe tombstone reads—"Joshua Patrick, a soldier of tbe Revolutiondied IMS, aged 81 years and 10 months. Not hr from it is a stone marked—"Doefc. John R. Davenport, died October &, 1818." We do net know anything more about tbe man who aleeps therein, and mention the grave marsly because of tbe date, which !a perhaps the oldest in the oernetery. There are many old and weather-beaten stooes bearing onoe Ihmlltar names, wbioh we should take pleasure in mentioning more in detail, bat this article is drawing out to an unconscionable length. th* SAicwnirarr noaumuna

THE PREVAILING STYLE

of private improvement in the cemetery is the building of massive stone walls from twelve to eighteen inches high around the lots,- which are then filled up level with the top of the wall and sodded. A monument—usually a marble or Scotch granite shaft—is then placed in tbe oenter. On the front of this, in bold relief, appears the family name: as— BROWN—or—JONE8. The names of the different deceased members of tbe fkrnlly, with the dates of their deaths, etc, appear on the aides. Small stones bearing only Initials are placed at the heads of tbe other graves. Where tbe owner of the lot is not able to have a stone wall, be raises his lot all the same and sods it. When he ean not aflbri the expense of either the wall or tbe raising of his lot, be oan only eontemplate tbe improvements of his ambitious neighbors as patiently as ha Is able, and deprecate tbe management that permits one set of people to fill up their lots and turn what water fklia, upon tbe lots belonging to their hamble neighbors. One lot Is surrounded by a substantial iron fence and has, instead of a monument, an iron plate with gilt letters, containing the names, ages, Ao^ of tbaas buried within it. And there Is a grave whieh to covered with a sort of perforated iron box with a top like a tureen cover. Itis a mast extraordinary looking affldr but is not in bad taste we oan see.

T8IKIWPAST,

The new ^ait of the osmetary does not, by any means, present an attractive appearance. In faet it looks decidedly bleak and barren. Tbe main streets have been graveled and a few young trees have been put out. But there is soarosly anything In it to warrant much talk here. tk* catbouc csnrraY la characterised by the large number of oroases that meet the eyes at every tarn, and tbe number of stooes bearing the letters, I.

In this connection it is proper to mention the singular looking Rose vault, or mausoleum, almost bidden from viow by the thick shrubbery which surrounds it, and the substantial, and costly, though decldcdly unattractive Warren and Holden vaults, which are distinguished by nothing so much as their extreme ugliness.

A niFFICTLTY.

In writing this article we are pain fully conscious of the utter lack of method or connection its readers must inevitably fi&d in it. Wandering about from one part of the grounds to another aud jotting down successively scenes, incidents and reflections just as they chance to striko the fancy, our notebook ii a mass of notes without head or tail. On this account it frequently happens that long after we think we have tinisbed ono subject, uew points continue to present themselves, which, from their interesting nature, we feel bound to include. Thus, wo should not like to omit this pecuijarepitaph which wo lind on a handsomo stone in the new part of the cemetery. Above the epitaph appears a hand with one finger on tho key of a telegraphic instrument. The epitaph reads: "Though familiar with and controlling the lightnings of heavrm, he was not proof against tho arrows of death." Or this one, (on a child's grave, of course) than which none could bo more touchingly pathetic, "Love me, Mamma, love me lots." Wo could not l»il to mention a remarkable piece of sculpture which represents a mother on her death-bed asshe sees, in a vision, her dead children and exclaims—"Don't you see them The idea is beautiful the execution of it execrable. The three cherubs looking down out of a cloud are very pretty, and well done, but the effect is utterly spoiled by tho incongruous surroundings. Above the cloud are rosea, flowers, a big five-pointed star, heavy scroll work, etc., and just below it, the words, "Two little angels in heaven," and more scroll work, which nearly touches the face of the female figure on the bed. One uionu ment, In tho new part, is the figure of a little nude girl. She is kneeling upon her left knee. Across the other knee is a scant piece of drapery. Her hands are clasped and her eyes raised to Heaven In prayer. The marble is of a disagreeable bluish color, and has been soiled and splashed with mud. It was a bleak, raw day when we taw It, and we have not recovered yet from the startling impression then made that the poor thing was making an appeal to be taken into the bouse and furnished with comfortable olothlng.

Having as we supposed seen everything of interest ia tbe cemetery grounds we started up to tbe northeast corner to get a better view of that somewhat imposing structure, the small-pox Hospital or Pest House, whic'a is being built opposite that point, on the east side of the road. But before we reached the corner, we found ourselves, very mnch to our surprise, in a populous, thickly settled grave-yard, entirely detached from all the rest. A child's grave, just on the outskirts, attracted our attention first. It was not a yard long. It was not marked by any ptone, but had simply two little boards, like unpainted fence pickets, at the head and foot. But it ^as bort ered all round with muscleshells, and on it were, carefully arranged, various childish toyr. There was a doll's head, a broken sea-shell, two alphabet blocks, a little perfumery bottle, a large and gaudily colored glass button, a string ol' beads, a striped marble, a toy p.tchcr, a very large hlckorynnt hull, some acorns, a tin whistle and a "return ball." We bad not seen anything half so touching as this. The next grave to it, also a child's grave, was bordered with large pebbles, and on the headboard was fastened a wreath of flowers. The next was entirely covered with bright colored pieces of broken glass, red, blue, green and yellow, and the head and foot boards were covered with little pictures such as are found parted on dress-goods in the dry goods store. Afourlh had a border of variously colored pebbles, and inside of that a row of muscle-shells. Inside of each muscleshell was a periwinkle standing straight up. The grave itself was ornamented with the base of a green glass coal oil lamp, turned bottom side up, a broken toy pitcher and one that was not broken, a little faded ilag, the arm and head of a porcelain doll, a plaster of Paris kitten, two or three small bottles and vials, an india rubber rattle, a little brass chain, bottoms of broken goblets, some fancy buttons, the top of a pepper box, a wheel out of a clock and a number of other things which it would be too much of a task to enumerate now.

The graves in this burying ground would number probably four hundred. At least a hundred of them were decorated in some suoh manner as we have attempted to describe. Not more than thirty, we should think, had tombstoi es. Several graves on which the grass must have been growing for at least two or three years showed the same careful though singular marks of recent and loving attention. One grave, among other things, had on It a little picture book, on tbe fly leaf of which was written "From Sister Effle An other, a large grave, had a covered veg etable dish containing some pieces of candy and an apple. The most common tLiiu^M were, bottles, bottoms of colored glass lamps, chlldrens toys, and shells from the river. At the head of one grave, fastened on a post two feet high, was a square box, painted white inside and out, and having in front a pane of glass. Inside, at the back part, was a baby's photograph, and around this, a homely wreath of flowers, evidently made at home and for the purpose. Above the photograph was a card on which was written "Our little Burty, aged 19 months and 16 days."

We tried to draw some idea from the tomb stones ss to what burying ground this was, but the names appeared to be of all nationalities. It evidently belonged to some race or sect who were singularly devoted to their dead, and who manifested their affection In most remarkable ways. They were probably an humble, religious people, and poor. We were extremely interested in them, aad walked back to the superintendent's house for information. We learned that this most Interesting spot in the whole cemetery ia tbe "Potter'» F%dd.n

There is one thing that ought to be ovident lo every citizen. It is, the need of a new oemetery. It ought to belong to a oompany, and not to the city. There ought to be at leass 160 acres of it. The best location for it that we have heard suggested, is on the Bloomington road, at or about the Deming farm. It would add greatly to the suburban attractions of Terre Haute, and as an investment for capital, we believe It would pay. At any rate a new cemetery will soon be a necessity which somebody must provide. Let us hope that the next will be a better looking affair than the one we now have.
