A FUNERAL IN MATAMoRos.-One OF our
correspondents describes a funeral process
sion in Matamoros. He says, 1.-The depart
ed was a young child. the corps was laid
upon the top of the coffin with the lace un,
covered, and carried so near the ground
that child four years old could peruse it,
On either side of the coffin were six tapers
and Immediately in the rear were six mu-
sicians playing some lively air, which would
cease, whenever the coffin was stopped,
which Was as often as some friend desired to
look upon the corps."-N @. Bee.

ANECDOTES OF THE ARMY. A ,eOunded
Horse. For many days after the battle Of
Resaca de la Palma, there was tied to one OF
Duncan gun carriages, horse wounded IN
the battle. He was an OBJECT Of universal
interest. and was nursed BY the men of the
company to which he belonged, with the
greatest care. The animal was noble look
ing specimen of bis kind. and seemed to IN
derstaud exactly his honorable position; ii
even appeared that the other horses envied
the attention bestowed upon him. A mus
ker ball had struck him just below the eye
on the side Of The face, aud lodged behind the
jaw. The wound was regularly dressed, and
tied up with white handkerchief, giving to
the animals head most grotesque appear

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS,
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.
There is Reaper, whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
Hereaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
aShall have naught that is fair?" saith hei
"Have naught but the bearded gIains2
Though the breath of these flowers is sweet tc
me,
Twill give them all back again"
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes;
He kissed their dropping leaves
1t was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
"My Lord hath need of these flowerets gay"
The Reaper said, and smiled;
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where He was once child.
"They shall all bloom in fields oflight.
Transplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she did most love;
She knew she should find them all again,
In the fields of light, above.
o, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.

Softly, peacefully,
Lay her to rest;
Place the turf lightly
Or her oungbreast;
Gently, Solemnly,
Bend DER the he'd
Where You have pillov-ed
Thus early her head.
Plant young willow
Close by her gravei
Let its long branches
Soo,hingly wave;
Irvine a sweet roSe-tree
Over the tomb;
Sprinkle fresh buds there
Beauty and bloom.
Let bright fountain
Limpid and clear,
Murmur its music,
Smile through tear
Scatter lis diamonds
Where the loved lies
Brilliant and starry,
Like angels eyes.
Then shall the bright birds
On golden wing
Lingering ever,
MurmurinS sing:
Then shall the soft breeze
Pensively sigh
Bearing rich fragrance
And melody by.
Lay the sod lightly
Over her breast;
Lingering ever,
Peaceful her rest.
Beautiful, lovely,
She was but given,
A fair bud of earth,
To blossom in heaven.
