We mean paying thai feeling tri bute to the memory of (be departed. the plant ing of flower, and shrubs near the graves of the lovod ones, and decorating their monuments with garlands. The Romans of note were al ways buried in gardens. They adorned the graves of uch with balsams and chaplet. of flowers. The Persians, who had the custom from the Mlee, and the Greeks who received it from the Persians, practised it, and to a vcy late day, in Modern Greece, the Turk, (Wal pole say.,) planted the myrile over graves, and the Amaranthys Myrtea. In the epitaph upon Sophocles by Simonides, occurs the lines, " Wind, gentle evergreen, to lorm a snaac, Around th tomb wliere Sophocles ia laid. Flowerets were planted over the grave of Anac- reon " This tomb i thiue, An.icreon, all around Let ivya wreathe ; lei flowereta deck the ground The tomb of Achilles, we read, was decorated with amaranth, and the urn of Philopama was revered with chaplet.. Virgil shews leaves of the arbutus over the bier of Pallas. Crowns of flowers were ever placed on the gravestones of virgins, in the time of the early Christian fa. thers, and on thi.ee of married persona, ba.keta ef lilies, violets, and roses. The Javanese, we are told, scatter profusion of flowers over the bodies of their friends, and the Afghans htng coronets on tombs. The custom of planting flowers on graves prevails in China to thi. day. la fild Scotland, .among the Puritans, and in Switzerland, among the Catbolie Canfona,. and in many parts of Wales, it was and i. a time honored custom. Some writer relates that in a beautiful little church-yard at Schwitt. almn.1 every grave is covered with piuks. At Wirfin, the graves are covered with little oblong boxes, in which are perennial plants, or flowers renew. eJ from time to time. Some are daily strewed over with freshly-gathered flowers, especially on feast-days. Pendent from the ornaineuts of some -r .u. liulo vases of water, in which fresh flowers are placed by the hand of the pious tieitor.
