Tbe monum nts and private grounds within this enclosure are remarkable for un- naual beauty, end the latior especially for the good order in which they are kept, Obelisks and siatues, suattered satis and stately tombs, at once adorn the scone und give their solomn honors to the dead. ‘be avenues are broad, smooth and well kept; the flowers + ring up laxu- riantly op ail sides over the sedied grayos und beside the tall monuments; and though the sceuo is bright with nature's smiling features, the stately trees cast @ decorous gloom around, in keeping with the solemn consecration of the spot. There are soldiers’ graves everywhere, Humble mounds and monuments, the resting places of our Union herves hero are found in scores, There are but few of their tombstones to tell the story of their valor, but in these few wo Ond much to stir our sympathica, A tonching story may be read trom the tombstone which marks the grave of a member of tho Fourteenth Brook- lyn militia regiment, who from bia extreme youth bore the name of ‘the Brookiyn Child.” His gallant fame is insersbed in full on the marble raised above him, but the details of bia short life are known and repeaied by I - 4 e & = 2 3 8 ® = the gravedigger, who pauses om his work and willingly telle the story. Strod 3 Putman, the Whose grave has attracted our attention, eplered the army as a volunteer in the Four- teenth reyiment, in February, 1864, having =~ aitatued his fourteenth year. He jo:ned bis regimént m Culpepper Court House, Virginia, and, on the opening of the spring campaign, passed through, with his regiment, the terr ble battles of the Wilderness, and ali of Grant’s engagements on toe march down to Petersbirg. Many instances are related ot lus bravery. During the baitie of Spotsylvania be was taken prisoner, but, dreading the horrors of Andersonville, boldly leaped from the rebel rifle pits, and made his way under fire to bis own side of the fled. At Petersburg. in one of the early en- gagements ‘in front of that strong position, he was shot directly through tne body, by a rebel sharpshooter, the bali passing within an cighth of an inch of bis heart. He was sent to Lincuin Hospital at Washington, and there recovered, although two of bis comrades iess danger- ously wounded at the same time with himself, had died, He was subroquently wounded in, receiving a bullet in the knoe, and he die@ under the operation of ampu- tation, which was reudered necessary by the locality of the wound. At the time of hie death he was barely fifteen years of age, and, as far as known, the youngest soldier m the Army of the Potomac, bis extreme youth having indeed orcasioned the nickname, “Tne Brookiyn Child,” which js inscribed on his neat monumental Stone, This monument, situated on the broad piatean ou the hitluck to the byeips pa of which the matin avenue of the entrance leads, is «/ main potat of interest to all the pumervus visitors to thie beautiful cemetery, who read the sad, eveni{ul bistory of the gallant boy’s short life with admiration, mingied with profound regret for his untimely end. In the eastern section of the grounds are the five acres belonging to the United States government. These plots are under the care and management of the Seamen’s Friend Society, and are divided off into sections marked by bumble stones, simply evidencing ‘the nationality of those dying in each plot. Here are buried the poor sailors wations who may die in this city, Every mation bas its part allotted, and the graves in each are quite numerous. The financial con- dition of the Evergreens as an institution is represented dy the reports of the treasurer as very flourishing, and an @ cemetery it still worthily holds hb place in the estimation of our citizens, both tor its beauty of situa- ton and adornment ant the good management of the company having control of it. Inthe fair weather of these summor days it is unusually beautitul with the adornments of mourning friends and lively with troop: of visitors, who make their annual pilgrimage to this lovely scene. Cypress Hi The growing necessities of society, the rapid increase of our population, and the consequent growth of the figures of the mortality records, Gnally induced in 1847 the passage of an act by the Legislature conferring on voluntary associations the right of establishing rural cemeteries throughout the State. All manner of en couragement was further afforded such projects by law and public appreciation. Moreover, generous immuni- ties were guaranteed to these associations by the pro- visions of the general law. The property devoted to the purpoee of affording a resting place for the dead was on this authority declared exempted trom taxation or execu- tion for debt, Thus the government provided for the necessities of the dead and guarded the sanctity of their Feasting places, Undor the favorable inducements of this enactment Cypress Hills Cemetery, one of the most beautiful of the many finely decorated grounds of our guburban circuit, was devised, In the location of this cemetery the association mani- fested remarkably good taste and appreciction of the mirable diversity of hill and dale, solemn sequestered ‘wood and smiling valley was = chosen, and now constitutes this well kept domain of the dead.

With the exception of this neglect of duty on the part of a subordinate, no fault can be found with alther tbo cemetery, its appeorance or 18 management, Washington Cemetery. This isa burtal ground of about forty acres, eatab- lished by the Quakers of this city for their excinsive use, It is situated on the old Coney Island plank road, near Tw lth street, and about a mile and abalf to the south of Greenwood, It is a piain, unpretending ceme- tery, enclosed with a high picket fencs, and presents in the main the staid aud homely features of the sect by wh m it was establisbed.

At Carmansyille the Trinity corporation established, in the year 1846, an extensive cemetery, comprising twen- ty-five acres, which are laid out in the finest style of landscape gardening for burial ground purposes, The city has now, however, grown around and threatens to demolish ite beauties.

This is a now cemetery established near Paterson, New Jersey, by ® company orgavized for the purpose from residents of that city, The designing of plansand the laying out of the cemetery grounds is in the hands of acompetent engineer, and under his direction the ground 1s rapidly taking fantastic shapes. Carriage ways are winding in huge belix shape from base to summit of ‘the swelling hills, the sod is taking fantastic shapes and graceful curves, and every, advantage of situation and Scenery {8 appropriated with a view to the general beauty of effect, Through the middie of the cemeery ds ral broad avenue shaded with tino oid trees, ri junds embraces Dundee jake, romantic valley of the Passaic, and in the far distance a rugyed range of mountains in @ semi-circle about the horizon, 7 ee gate to the groulids is 1m the rustic style of art, which aiso prevails in the adornment of it unique bell tower and the decorations which first siriko the approaching visitor's eye, The grounds siope yeutly towards the sout and present ‘a broad and fertile sarfa-e, on which the rarest flowers flourish. When finished this will probably be one of the enon and complete cemoterics in the vicinity of New York iy Cemetery. On March 5, 1850, a company of gentlemen of this city, encouraged by the liberal legislative enactments of two years before, and by the success of Greenwood un- ing the pleasant season when rural trips are most enjoyed. In this heen there lie the remains of many whose naines are ‘familiar to our citizens, and ‘moat of the private plots are owned by New Yorkers, Weodlawn Cemetery. This ts the latest cemotery established in the vicinity of New York. It was first opened for interments in 1865. The first burial in it was in January of the same year. The location of these grounds is just above Ford- ham, om the west bank of the Bronx, about seven miles from Harlem bridge, The cemetery is situated on a swelling wooded ridge, whose broad plateau and ferttie sides are thickly wooded and fresh strown with graves and tombstones of unique design end artistic finish, The approach is by ® winding carriageway up the hill side, and passing through a com- manding gateway supporied by a fine stone lodge. Although the cemetery ts only three years old it already vies in point of beauty and fine monuments with the most celebrated and complete of our older burial pinces. It bas aiready, with the aid of art and enterprising labor, brushed away the rougnoess of na- tare, transformed the tangle of the forest into the labr- riuth -of the cemetery, and chavgod the unsightly swamps into ornamental lakes, where drooptog trees nad sombre waters lend their gloomy imprensiveness io the home of the dead.

It is probable, however, that the city, in its rapid growth will epeedily envelop and eradicace the cemetery and its homely tombs, Other Cemeteries of comparatively contracted area are found in the city and its vicinity, but their period of usefulness bas long since pazsed, and they are being elther ciosed to public use or pierced and torn by ihe passage through them of extended streets and the growth around and beyond them of solid rows of mansions, Bat in the imminent abolishment of these cemeteries, as may be seen in the foregoing, the city suffers no actual loss, for the beauty and completeness of the suburban burial places already established, and those which are being developed by the enterprise of man and the beautifying offices of art, fully meet all requirements and add a pic'uresque and solemn tone to the beauteous landscape that surrounds us, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC GOSSIP.
