OAK HILL CEMETERY.
a Plea for tho Monumcnts- Costly WORKS
or Art Decnyirg.


In walking through that beautiful city
OF the deadlock Hill Cemetery-one cannot help
wishing that another Old Mortality would np-
pear upon the scene to help rescue tom threatened
oblivion many of the monuments which have
been erected there by the hand of affection ovei
the graves OF their loved ones. In all OF the diff.
ferent lots the grass is neatly cut and the shubbey
well trimmed, the walks are in good order, and
apparently much care has been bestowed upon
the flowers, which just now are in the height o.
their bloom; but very many Of the tomb-stone'
are mildewed and blackened, and, in some cases
1t is almost impossible TO read the nscriptonupor
them. The families interested In
THE CARE OF THESE GRAVES
h ave probably moved away, and live too far from
the city to attend to them and It may be that there
are no immediate relatives living at the present
time, and in consequence the beauty Of this lovely
spot is marred by these unsightly tombstones, 1t
Is q sad thought that all those costly works OF art
many of them the result OF months of labor, must
in few years, become unclean, unattractive OBJ
jects. In cemetery like Oak HILL where SC
much money Is expended, II would cost but q
tre each year TO have this matter attended TO, and
1t would be such comfort to those persons resld-
ing in distant States to know that much was
bestowed upon the sacred places whore their dear
ones are sleeping.
IT WOULD NOT DE POSSIBLE
to find more beautiful sitc-for a cemetery than
this one, Interspersed here and there with noble
forest trees, the hill slopes down gradually TO the
very edge of Rock Greek, the waters Of which
rushing over the rocky bed, make fall quite neal
of several feet, and produce a gentle murmur
which sounds like sad music in the air. Members
