met on the field of battle. as if anxious to die
They rushed against each other, sword ia
hand. up TO the cannon's mouth. and furious
" stormed the high turrelted citadel, in the
midst Of rockets, bullets and death; and,
strange TO say. they escaped the death they
so biavely faced; and the war being ended
they returned home, covered with renown.--
But so soon as they were comfortably settled
at home and sought no longer to die, then
death began to single them out, and they
dropped of one ~ one. First among the
Americans. Gen. Worth died--lhen The Mex
lean, as il determined not TO be behind with
US. followed the example. and Gen. Parades,
the author Of the war died. Then on our
side the brave Col. Duncan died; and then,
on The Mexicap side, Gen. Urea. Then Gen
Gaines died among us; followed by Gen. Re.
Jon among the Mexieans. Then Major
Gates died here; and then, Gen. Don Manu-.
ell Ricon there. Gen. Ricon was at the bat.
tie Of Cherubnsco, where he fought b,avely.
He had been Gov. Of several Mexican States.
and was much regretted. This general death
among Generals and military meu, since
peace was concluded. is singular. and The
reciprocity IS singular ,oo--not that Dealh Is
