Our cemetery still remains neglected, by our city fathers, while its precincts is being almost daily swelled by additional tenants from our ranks.  The tread of the beasts of the forest as they roam over the sacred domain, still mar and disfigure the silent abodes of departed loved ones.  Those friends and relatives in whose association we once delighted and with whom we took sweet council when they were in life, are now forgotten and uncared for by those to whom is confided the protection and keeping of their prison cells, while the wild flower of the wilderness strives, in vain, to adorn, with their rosy hues, and perfume, with their fragrant zephyrs, the drear and somber tomb where their precious dust is deposited.  No hand of affection plants the descriptive weeping willow or the emblematical evergreen over their graves, for fear that, like the inmates, they will fall a victim to the ravages of the fell destroyer.  How long, oh!  How long, city fathers, must we endure the ghastly sight of a neglected grave-yard?  Humanity reiterates the inquiry—how long?
