Friday, May 20.--I rode over to Mr. Fraser's, at Monedie, whose mother-in-law was to
be buried that day. Oh, what a difference is there between the English and the Scotch
method of burial! The English does honor to human nature, and even to the poor remains
that were once a temple of the Holy Ghost! But when I see in Scotland a coffin put into the
earth and covered up without a word spoken, it reminds me of what was spoken concerning
Jehoiakim, "He shall be buried with the burial of an ass!"
