We are commanded by Holy Writ I.
honor and obey our parents, that our days

tho parent has closed his mortal existence.
Under this view, would ask the good ci-
ti1ens OF Staunton, and its vicinity, what are
their feelings when they behold our public
grave yard in its present situation, MANY
OF US have parents buried there-some have
friends and companions--those who were
near and dear TO them but how soon are
The ,enderest ties forgotten! Instead of a
neat Pailng or wall 10 enclose the graves Of
those we loved, the hog is permitted 10 root
up the clay. and the cow, &C., TO tread it
down. Is this right Fl had almost asked
IS 1t becoming Christian people? Can
nothing be done3 Is not the CORPORATION A.
BILE 10 erect neat paling or brick wall. If
not, let us have meeting Of the citizens.
and devise some means OF enc losing The
whole graveyard, including the part assign
ed for the colored people. MY own opinion
is that the people should petition the Com
mon Council 10 lay a tax on the property
within the Corporaiion--and in that way
each person would bear just proportion of
the expense. Let US show that we are moi
unmndful ofthe parents who sustained US in
childhood-and OF the many from whom we
have eceivedkindness; whose graves are now
trodden and torn almost even with the sur
face OF the earth, by the brutes that perish.
