CEMETERIES AND PARKS. 93 



the words, "Young mau, I say unto thee, arise." The subject 

 of the second is : Jairus's Daughter — the Saviour touching the 

 maiden's hand, with the words, " Be not afraid, only believe." 

 The subject of the third is : Martha and the Saviour at the grave 

 •of Lazarus, with the words, " Thy brother shall rise again" ; and 

 of the fourth, the Saviour arising from the tomb, with the words, 

 *'Iam the resurrection and the life." The great window in the 

 chancel is of elegant design and workmanship, being fourteen 

 feet and six inches wide by twenty feet high. The design repre- 

 sents the Ascension of Christ, accompanied by two angels, while 

 the eleven disciples stand below, gazing in awe and wonder upon 

 the heavenl}' scene. 



Passing from the building into the grounds, we find ourselves on 

 the main avenue, in the centre of a beautiful lawn stretching right 

 and left and adorned by trees, as specimens, and artistic groups 

 of evergreens, which are charmingly arranged, and in themselves 

 a study for all who have a love for landscape art. This part of the 

 grounds has a level surface, and it is truly wonderful what art has 

 produced on what must have been a barren plain. It will interest 

 you to know that on this lawn there has been planted a group of 

 trees as a memorial of the late Dr. Warder, presented for this 

 purpose by his son, Reuben Warder. In the centre of the group 

 is an Abies concolor surrounded by Piniis pungens. This is to be 

 known as the " Dr. Warder memorial group of evergreens." We 

 next pass under the railroad bridge and come in sight of a chain 

 of beautiful lakes, containing several small islands, the largest of 

 which was donated some time ago, by the corporation, to Mr. 

 Strauch, the Superintendent, as a family burial ground, and his 

 remains now rest in the quietude of this lovely spot. Near by is 

 a beautiful statue of Egeria, in close proximity to a grove of 

 Louisiana cypress, which are very fine. Our attention was fre- 

 quently called to the trees and shrubs, which are a special feature 

 of the place. To enumerate them all would be impossible, but we 

 noticed particularly the following superb specimens : Abies 

 excelsa, some very large ; A. polita (the Corean Spruce), A. com- 

 pacta nayia, A. Alcocquiana, A. concolor, Magnolia stellata, M. 

 glauca, M. tripetala; elegant specimens of Liquidambar ; Laurel 

 leafed oak, — most beautiful specimens ; Quercus alba (the Ameri- 

 can White Oak), grand trees; Q. p)ctlustris (Pin Oak), tall and 

 elegant trees ; Q. castanea (Chestnut Oak) , one of the most grace-
