The following magnificent poem is ircn
The pen OF G. w. Gutter, the celebrated aniho
OF the Song oil Steam, &C., &c. The eastern
writers have entirely overlooked This subject, ant

correspondent has not only pai'! great aea dc
served tribute to worthy soldier, bul has addet
10 his reputation as poe AMI good nearleo man
General Worth was beloved by all. a brave
man never lived.-The poem IS strictly his'ori
cal in regard TO WORMS conduct. The use o
his hat for flag is we'll atlesled fact. But Il
the lines, and they should "lve in our memories.
The SIKH verse has no equal in beauty, gran
deur and power, that we have seen in moderl
times.
ON THE DEATH OF GEN. WORTH.
By O. W. CUTTER.
Oh lei the solemn minute gun
Arouse the morning ray,
And only with The setting sun,
In echoes die away.
Oh, let our banner from the SKIES,
Like autumn glOries tall,
To shed It's ever changing dyes
Around The sable pail.
The muffied drum, the wailing file,
An lei them murmnr low,
Ger him who was their breath oil life,
The solemn notes OF woe;
For oh they can alone impaIt
The sorrow OF The brave,
When the idol OF the soldiers heart
Is followed 10 the grave.
Al Chippewa and Lundy's Lane,
On Polaklaba's field,
Around him fell the crimson rain,
The baule thunder pealed;
But proudly did the soldier gaze
Upon his daring form,
When charging DER the cannons' blaze
Amid The sulphur storm.
Upon the heights OF Monterey,
Again his flag unrolled
And when the eraFe-shot rent away
LIS latest starry Tod,
His plumed cap above his head,
He waved upon The air,
And cheerec the gallant troops he led
To glorious victory here.
But ah The dreadful seal is broke,
10 darkness walks abroad,
The peslilence whose silent stroke,
Is like the doom OF Gtdl
And the hero by its fell decree,
In death is sleeping now,
With the laurel wreath OF victory
Sill green upon his brow.
His monument shall be the roar
BY old Niagara made,
The waves on lovely Tampa's shore,
The silent everglade,
The Top of Ofizaba, white
With everlasting snow,
The Sierra Madre's lonely height
The towers Of Mexico
Fair eyes shall weep his early doom
Fair hands shall often bring
And Cffer al his sacred tomb
The dewy flowers OF Spring:
And with the ranks Z was his 10 lead
Shall ever live his fame,
While history treasures up deed
That's worth eternal lame.
