Yet ever for her maynard child
She fondly wept and prayed;
Nor faults could make her love me less.
Oh still remorse forgetfulness.
O'er all my bIighied hopes and joys.
DER all that made my spirit wall,
LIES empty batteries and noise
In mercy throw thy veil
And let me find that happiness
That iioss from deep torgetiuness.

Dedication OF Crown Hill Cemetery.
Yesterday morning the beautiful grounds in
GLIDING and surrounding Crown Hill. were ded
Gated a resting place for the dead by appro-
pirate ceremonies The wants of the city in this
regard have been felt for wears. The cemetery
now in use is within the city limits and j. rapidly
being surrounded by our growing manufacturing
establishments lt ~ on the direct line of the
progress OF that class Of improvements and If not
pushed altogether out of the way. will at leastin

which il was dedicated when our city WIS a quiet
village The heart of affection loves TO contem

them
The want, so long felt. for some suitable spot,
within easy distance, which the hand of taste
might adofn "A burial place for the dead, has

and larger cities. The ground is high and undu

surface IL diversified with meadows, orchards. aud
groves of forest trees. The highest and. in

valleys which meander around its base. The

visitor an idea OF their nature and extent. The
Superintendent. Mr.. +. W Chislett. formerly OF
the Allegheny Cemetery. near Pittsburg. has with
admirable taste conlormed his plans to the t0pog

walks and the graves and burial plnts harmonizc

general wish so far we have heard All expires

served for building monument to the memory
of the soldiers OF Indiana, who have fallen and
