Improve the Old Cemetery.

At recent meeting of the common
council a committee was appointed to
investigate the condition of the old
cemetery, and if possible devise some
means of improving the appearance
of the place The action is COM
mendable, for the subject is one
worthy the attention and careful con-
sideration not only of the common
council but of every good citizen of
Mineral Point We should not forget
that in the old burying place sleep
many whose names are inseperahly
connected with the early history Of
Wisconsin and Mineral Point 1t
is lasting disgrace that their
graves should be so neglected. 1t is
impossible to shift the responsibility
for the disgraceful condition of the
place from the shoulders of the rela-
tives of the departed, where it justly
belongs, to the officers of the munic-
apathy. 1t is not the duty, neither is
it the right of the city to interfere
with a place so sacred to individuals
as the burial place of their dead, until
the place becomes a nuisance. Then
however they are justified in taking
such steps for the removal of the
nuisance as may be necessary and
expedient for the preservation of
health and the suppression of disease.
If the lot owners and relatives of
those inferred in the old cemetery per
sist in refusing to put the place into
more respectable condition, the coun-
Gil will take such steps as they deem
best to bring about the desired result.
Will not all good citizens who have
relatives buried in the cemetery co :
operate with the common council in
this matter and do all in their power
to see that the desired improvements
are made by the end of the first week
in June.

The Local Field.
THE OLD HOME PAPER.

THE OLD HOME PAPER
Imprinted, old-fashoned and homely,
Bearing name of small country town.
With an unfeinged sneer at its wrapper queer,
The postman in scorn throws it down.
But con every line that it offers,
Each item brings something to view,
Through the vista of years, of youths pleasure
and fears,
And serves their keen touch TO renew.
The death of the girl l once courted,
The growth of the firm | once jeered,
The rise of a friend whom l loved TO commend,
The fall of a man l revered.
As read drift dreamily backward,
To days when to live was but joy;
| think and pour till the city's dull roar
Grows faint and again I'm boy.
Rare perfumes of green country by-ways,
Farmusic of mowers and bees.
And the quaint little town with its street lead
ing down
To the creek and the low bending trees.
Around me the forms of my comrades;
About US, earths glories unfurled;
Each heart undefled, with the face of child
Looking forth to place in the world,
And the paper tells how all have prospered,
follow their lives as they fiow
Applauding each gain, regretting each pain,
For the sake of the days long ago.
Above all the huge city dailies
With ponderous utterance wise,
This scant page hath power to spread out for
an hour
A fairyland sweet to mine eyes,
- CAds. II. H7r0eT.
