Excerpt from First Report of the Managers of the Allegheny Cemetery: Together With the Charter of the Corporation; Its Rules, Regulations, Lot Holders, &C., Also, a Funeral Address, on the Occasion of Re-Interring the Remains of Com; Joshua Barney Lieut. Jas; L. Parker "If there be one object more material, more revolting, more gloomy than another, it is a crowded church yard in a city. It has neither sympathy nor memory. The pressed down stones lie heavy upon the very heart. The sunshine cannot get at them for smoke. There is a crowd, and, like most crowds, there is no companionship. Sympathy is the softener of death; and memory of the loved and lost, is the earthly shadow of their immortality. "I pray thee, lay me not to rest Among these mouldering bones; Too heavily the earth is prest By all these crowded stones." Miss Landon's City Church Yard.
