"Most dear is it to us to think, that we shall lie down in our flower-crowned Cemetery, with some simple, modest, Christian inscription above us, with those hanging branches gently and whisperingly waving their requiems over our heads ; while the music and the prayers, which we once loved, shall come and speak to our mouldering frames, of eternal life and eternal progress, in the Christian's promised Heaven."
Extract from Dr. Gilman's Dedication Sermon, APRIL 2ND, 1854.
A few words will illustrate the history of the following Memorial.
In the hallowed ground of the Unitarian Church, rises, graceful in artistic beauty, a Monument, on which are inseribed the words
OUR PASTOR.
It stands a symbol of Christianity : for pointing Heaven-ward, in its white purity, through sunlight and night dew. amid storm and darkness, it is firm and unshaken. Like Christianity, too, no gloom settles at its base, though the mortal dust lies mouldering below, but cheerful blossoms spring all around, and speak of resur- reetion.
Many conjointly contributed to raise this Monument, comprising not only the Congregation, to whom the PASTOR conseerated his life, but others in the community, who respected and loved him for what he was to them.
On the reeurrenee of every holy Sabbath, when the memory of his ministrations is most vivid, gifts of flowers, in every form of loveliness, are laid upon the shrine.
Elsewhere, with a few admired exceptions, the grounds, though some years sinee laid out with judgment and taste, bad lapsed to decay, and repulsed the observer with an overgrowth of weeds.
In the month of April last, touched with a sense of the exceed- ing tenderness lavished on one grave, I asked myself, Can not something be done for others, that shall correspond in part to this
vi
wealth of love? Can not some neglected surroundings, where the rank growth repels even the footsteps of kindred, be rescued and converted into beauty ? Those who lie here, I thought, were like the PASTOR consigned to earth by sorrowing hearts, and bitter tears fell on their new-raised mounds; may it not soothe some distant mourner to know, that friendly hands are planting flowers, or tending the sod around their dear departed ; and who shall say, that the Spirits of the blessed may not hover over and hallow the spots newly consecrated by these sacred sympathies ?
I had only to communicate this feeling to members of the Con-f gregation, to create an interest on the subject. By permission of the officers, an Association of Ladies for the improvement of the Cemetery of the Unitarian Church was formed; and now around all our sepulchres, as around that of Christ's, "there is a garden."
While engaged in the necessary labor of improvement, I had occasion, as the inscriptions on the old grave-stones were brought to light, to notice the eager interest with which they were perused, and it occurred to me that a printed collection might gratify our people. With the aid of two young friends I have accomplished my design.
These Records should not be examined simply with curiosity. There is a fact connected with them too deep and beautiful in its significance to be disregarded. Extending along a period of many years, and embracing individuals of various theological tenets, there will be found, as in the catacombs of the early Christians, searcely the trace of a Creed. It seems as if the human mind, growing nearer to the leading simple truths of religion as it witnesses the ordeal of Death, buries its dogmas and formulas in the dust with the departed, and " worships in spirit."
The Literature of Christian burial-grounds presents a prolific field for the ingenious essayist, from the first rude but touching memorials of the secret worshippers at Rome, to the elaborate eulogies of later times, settling, at length, into the present style of strict simplicity.
vii
So too, Art might luxuriate in the same range even in our own country, beginning with the Death's heads, and unsightly forms on old Plymouth Hill, and embracing many original and sometimes classic conceptions, scattered in solemn stillness over the land.
For the utility of private attendance on the Dwellings of the Dead, I might enter a plea, feeling sure that an organization like the one I have recorded, would exclude many abuses that have obtained in intermural burial-places. But neither Literature, Art, or even utility come within my present design. I simply commit this Memorial, as a matter of sentiment, to my fellow-worshippers. This only do I desire, that our Cemetery may henceforth, as now, be consecrated to sacred thoughts.
That no unkind feeling may darken its beautiful bowers.
That no light or profane word may be heard within its precincts. And let us trust, that if, with Mary of Bethany, the mourner " goes unto the grave to weep there," perchance, with Mary Magda- len, "a vision of angels" may be seen, and a voice heard saying,
" NOT HERE, BUT RISEN." C. G.

REV. CHARLES MANSON TACCART, THEIR JUNIOR PASTOR,
WHO WAS BORN IN MONTREAL, CANADA, OCT. 31, 1821, AND DIED IN THIS CITY, OCT. 22, 1854, AT THE EARLY AGE OF 33 YEARS.
AS A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL HE WAS EMINENTLY DISTINGUISHED FOR THE EARNESTNESS AND ELOQUENCE WITH WHICH HE ADVOCATED A SYSTEM OF PRACTICAL AND LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY, BASED UPON THE SIMPLE, PURE AND BEAUTIFUL TEACHINGS OF JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE CHRIST-THE ANOINTED MESSENGER OF GOD THE FATHER; WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HIE EVINCED
GREAT ORIGINALITY AND BOLDNESS IN ATTACKING THE NARROW CREEDS OF SECTARIANISM- THE INVENTIONS OF MEN.

CHARITY FOR HIS FELLOW-MEN; EVER INCULCATING IN HIS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE TEACHINGS THE PATERNITY OF GOD AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.
WE LIVE IN DEEDS, NOT YEARS; IN THOUGHITS, NOT BREATHS; IN FEELINGS, NOT IN FIGURES ON A DIAL. HE MOST LIVES WHO THINKS MOST, FEELS THE NOBLEST, ACTS THE BEST.

TO THE MEMORY OF THE
REV. SAMUEL GILMAN, D.D., WHO SUCCEEDED THE REV. ANTHONY FORSTER, As Pastor of this Church, DECEMBER 1ST, 1819, AND DIED 9TH FEBRUARY, 1858, AFTER A MINISTRY OF NEARLY Forty Years. AS AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST, HE MAGNIFIED AND SANCTIFIED HIS OFFICE, BY A LIFE OF Faith AND Works.
IN ALL THE RELATIONS OF LIFE, HIS WALK AND CONVERSATION WERE A LIVING EPISTLE OF Liberal Christianity, TO BE READ OF ALL MEN.
DISTINGUISHED BY AN ARDENT LOVE FOR THE GOOD, THE BEAUTIFUL, AND THE TRUE, AND BY NATURE, EDUCATION AND GRACE, IN THE POSSESSION OF SO MANY BLENDED VIRTUES AND EXCELLENCES, IN HIM " Mercy and truth met together, Righteousness and peace kissed each other." THIS GRATEFUL TRIBUTE TO A VENERATED PRESENCE, WHICH, THOUGH DEAD YET SPEAKETH, IS DICTATED BY THE AFFECTION OF A SORROWING CONGREGATION, WHO HAVE KNOWN "How blessed a thing IT IS FOR BRETHEREN TO DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY." " Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright."

REV. JAMES R. MCFARLAND.
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed for the erection of a monu- ment to this gifted servant of CHRIST, but erelong "the silent column will lift itself beautifully, amid storm and sunshine, an unwearied preacher; and the pulseless marble shall flash a glow of inspiration in upon our souls."*
The young Pastor eleet was born in Charleston, Kanawha Co., Virginia, on the 17th December, 1829, and was to have been In- stalled over the Unitarian Church, in this city, November, 1858.
"While travelling in Virginia, in August, he ruptured a blood- vessel of the lungs.
"Heaven heard the prayer he uttered in his anguish, and he died 'in the midst of a loving and beloved flock,' April, 1859.
"No stolid indifference sustained him through his sad and weary hours. His was a calmness full of feeling, yet a feeling so far removed from passion by his firm faith, so refined by prayer, and so subdued to the will of his FATHER in HEAVEN, that it only exhibited itself in a moving earnestness of soul, the more affecting for its quiet dignity. There was a lesson taught at his bedside- a lesson of immortality."+
"He passed through the valley of shadows in the light of a Dirine Hope, and 'the Name that is above every name' was the last that fell from his lips."

Vestibule of the Church.
Sacred to the Memory of MRS. MARTHA SAVAGE, widow of Major WILLIAM SAVAGE, and daughter of The Hon. ISAAC HOLMES. Born in the city of Charleston, where she died on the 5th of August, 1824, in her Eighty-second year.
Taught in her infancy to adore her Creator, piety advanced with her age, and was the comfort and decoration of a Patriarchal life. For sixty years with undissembled devotion, she partook the solemn sacrament, commemorative of her Saviour's agony, and expiatory death. Adversity distinguished her with many a severe visitation, yet fortitude never failed, and these dispensations were received with a submission, which declared her conviction, that they came from that Being, whose right it is to
favonr us with blessings, or try us with Calamity. No impious murmurings of unholy and presumptuous pride, were extorted by distress, but a duteous acquiescence under the will of Heaven, mitigated the pungency of grief. She saw that the desolation of Winter, was succeeded by the luxuriant verdure, and fragrant eleganeies of Spring ; and practically believed, that the God of Christians, could " Make her wilderness like Eden, and her Desert like the garden of the Lord."
Also of Miss ELIZABETH SAVAGE, who died on the 12th November, 1818. In this lady were united exemplary love to her parent, with the most unvarying affection towards her Sister, and she was characterized alike by amiableness of temper, and urbanity of deportment.
This memorial, placed by her who remains to mourn the double bereurement of a parent renerated for her virtues, Of a Sister whose attachment never knew abatement.
