thei immense crowd-but q confused
trampling, as Of a vast concourse ol
people when they are rushing together.
The clouds had now cleared off from
the horizon, and the sun was about GO
ing down, when the last rites were per.
formed over the departed soldier. There
was no pomp, or noise, or show. A
small escort Of troops marched quietly
over the gravel, and stood before the
door of the stone building from which
the remains were 10 be carried. A sin
Gle drum beat out a hollow note at dis
tinct intervals, and the fife sung sharply
and mournfulIy. The coffin was at
length borne out; and with slow step,
inverted bayonets, and downward eyes,
the procession moved on. Many who
4 cared not to join, stood behind in silent
contemplation; and many out OF idle Gu
riosty fingered round scarcely knowing
why they were there. Behind some low,
dcsolate buildings, which would scarcely
| shelter it from the storms OF winter, the
solitary grave was dug. Round this the
soldiers crowded in silence. On either
side, they leaned upon their muskcts,
and hardly a breath was heard, as the
bool, of prayer was opened, and the fer
vent supplication went up TO heaven,
The scene was singulariy impressive.
Immediately round the grave. in the rear
Of the soldiers, some stood wrapped IN
gloomy attention -others, still behind,
we're seen eagerly gazing over the shoul-
ders of those who had closed up before
them. Every cap was off and every
eye fixed. Still beyond, the sick were
tseon pecping out or,he half opened door;
and women and boys Stood, with arms
crossed upon their bosoms, before the
r,iser able huts from which they had Just
issued. There, there was no moving
no noise--no rowing OF the looks-all
were bent upon the speaker, who stood
upon the brink of the cold grave, with
his eye raised in adjura,ion to heaven,
and calling on the Father of Spirits
with an eloquence so full, so powerful,
so commanding, that his very soul SEEM
ed to mount up with his words. He en-
ded. Then came the hurrying Of the
ceremony. At the quick command of
the officer, the coffin was lowered-the
guns were brought down-the steel rung
and ia moment it glittered again in
the last sunbeam. AT word the death
volley was fired off in the air another
followed, and then another-and the last
was discharged into the grave. 1t was
all over-the smoke curled slowly among
the wet gravel, and settled down upon
the coflin-'twas the war smoke en-
balm,ng the soldicr The drum beat
merriIy, and the files wheeled into the
lines, just as the sun went down in his
glory y.-BowER OF TASTE.

THE GRAVE YARD.

Its form was a parallelogram, cut
from dense grove Of evergreens. The
wild growth of nature had been eradica-
ted, and the surface cveled which was
now covered with hcrbage Of lovely
verdure. Ranges of monuments, rising
to modest distance above the ground,
and intersecting each other, separated
the whole into equal portions; and Poin-
ted out the future tenements Of those
who projected and planned them. "A
painted enclosure, rendered more benu-
tiful by the wilderness which surrounded
it, and over which tho dark trees waved
their branches, guarded the spot from
all unhallowcd intrusion. Already had
it been made sacred, as the place in
which slept the ashes OF the wise
and good, the philosopher and the di-
vine.
Two gates opened from the highway
the one for entrance, the other for
egress, when the rites of sepulchre were
to be performed. AT the former Of
these | saw the hearse enter. 1t bore
alas! Tho sorrowing train, told but too
emphaticaIy what it bore. A widowed
father, supporting with each hand a
motherless babe, and followed by others
still numerous household, led the pro-
cession. You might see that the pol
ished circle had lost one of its brightest
ornaments. Science and literature are
mourners. Among the'train were their
devotees and teachers The children
OF want and sorrow were there. The
hand that ministered unto them was mo-
tionless--the voice that had comiorted
them, was now silent in death. You
might have said she who has washed
the saints feet has gone to her last
home; for the church and the minister
Of God might be seen in the pensive
train--feeling more than ever, like
"strangers and pilgrims" as they now
had one less to accompany and encour-
age them in their tolsome journey to
that "better country" A fellow wor-
shipper, with whom they once took
sweet council and went to the house OF
God in company, was snatched from their
society, never more to join them in
"courts below"
The sable carriage approached new
ly opened grave, and halted. Its prec-
ious burden was taken down, and dcpos-
tied in the narrow house. The wood,
which contained and concealed it, inan-
mate and senseIess, was an object of
dear and tender interest, from the use to
which it was devoted, and claimed part
ing gaze The train clustered around
the grave, with aching hearts and tear
ful eyes,to look their last farewell. Ma
ture aided their grief Surrounding OBJ
jects wore pensivc aspect; for though
the 'king Of day had yet some distance
10 travel, before he should reach the
western horizon, the thick wood, which
encircled the spot, intercepted his rays,
and cast n sombre shade over this abode
OF the dead, producing wha, might bo lit
