adjacent and unenclosed, belongs to a Lodge of Germans.

Below us, on the right, is the GATE OF FUNERALS, with the Porter's Lodge and anteroom. Hard by, is a rustic cottage, which, from the first opening of the Cemetery, has been occupied by the attentive and obliging Keeper of the Grounds. The fidelity and proScrimgeour discharges

P

priety with which Mr. his numerous, and often delicate duties, are known to multitudes, and require no commendation at our hands. Near the Keeper's Lodge, is a rustic Bell-tower. A large and fine-toned bell, from the celebrated foundry of Meneely, in Troy, has lately been suspended in the tower, and has already entered on its "mournful office." These structures have been much admired for their simple and picturesque beauty, and have furnished frequent employment to both pen and pencil. The scenery, which surrounds and sets them off, is Nature in her loveliest dress.

Let us now pass up and look at this tall pillar standing near the bend of the TOUR.

A flower-bordered niche in the upper die, contains a bust of statuary marble. There is some emblematic sculpture on the face of the obeliskan hour-glass and an an open book. The words, "My hope is in Jesus," are seen on one page, and upon the other three ears of wheat. An urn, half shrouded in drapery, surmounts the shaft. Here repose Maria C. and Andrew R. Taylor, natives of Annandale, in Scotland.

Upon the opposite side, in a lot, as yet merely staked out, may be seen a mound, denoting a single grave, the resting-place Dixon H. Lewis, for many years a distinguished representative in Congress, from the State of Alabama. Mr. Lewis died in NewYork, and was interred here by his own request.

For a more particular notice of Mr. Lewis, see Part II., page 3.

We will now leave the TOUR, and descend

by Willow Avenue to the Receiving Tomb.— This is a wide vault, which runs far into the hill. Each of its eight apartments is supplied with shelves, and closed by a door, which opens into a commodious passage-way. This tomb is appropriated to the temporary reception of the dead.

Willow Avenue conducts us to the TOUR,

from which we instantly turn up Central Avenue, keeping to the left. Here, at the intersection, upon the north-western corner of Strawberry Hill, stands an obelisk, on which we read the name of Quin. A short square pillar with beveled top, gives the name of Chalkley Collins, M. D., æt. 24. He died in New-York of the Cholera, in 1849. beyond, on the left, a small head-stone bears the names, Willie and Emme. Then there is a memorial to Charles N. and John C. Pease.

The monument of Crawford Livingston will at once arrest the eye. It stands near the intersection of Central Avenue with the Tour.
