— " At my death I wish to be cremated, and my ashes put into the earth enclosad in nothing — earth to earth, ashes to asbes — in any spot most convenient I have loved. Will mention places to my son — Harleyford for choice. I particularly request no clu'istian mummeries or tomfooleries to ba performed over my graye, but that I may ba buried as a securalisfc and agnostic. If it will comfort anyone there are plenty of those "of my own faith who would come and say a few, ■wordg.of common sense over the spot, where my ashes may be. 'Queensberry, January 13, 1895. Places to' lay ashes : The o ummit cf CrifHa or Queensbarry, Dumfriesshire-; t the end of the terrace overlooking NewXiOch,,j Harleford, Bucks. No monument or stone necessary or rcpuired, or procession, as ashes can. be carried in one person's hand. Failing these places, any place where the stars shu.ll ever shed their light and the sun shall gild eaeb. rising morn."
