ANTHEM.
al heard d voice from heaven, saying unto me-
Write, from henceiorth blessed are the dead who
die IN the Lord; saith the spirit, Tor they
rest from their labors. Amen"
The funeral service, prescribed by the book OF
common prayer, was then read by the Rev. Dr.
Pyne assisted by the Rev. Dr. Butler.
The address of DIR. Pyne (Which will be iound
at length in columns,) was eloquent and in-
pressve. He spoke of the solemnity OF the ocoa-
sion, and of the presence in which he stood. The
external manifestations OF grief everywhere be
held, were but family expressive of the cmotions of
the heart He spoke of the deceased in terms of
sincerity He offered no unmeaning praise to his
memory; but he analysed the character that had
won the admiration of the world, and he described
most truly and eloquenty the qualities of wisdom,
of goodness, and of patriotism, that made all men
term him great.
In concluding his address, DIR. p. presented an
important suggestion to the minds Of his hearers,
one that, doubt not, will be welcomed by the
American people. 1t is that the homo of Washing
ton be purchased by the nation, and adorned the
Mausoleum of the departed Presidents. How APP
propriately chosen What depository fitting for
land, as the home in which Washington lved-as
the earth where his body reposes
The following dirge (by b. F. Niles, esq was
then sung by Professor Berlin and three of the
Eborbach family, Professor b. accompanying on
the seraphina
His triumphs are over-hc's gone to his rest,
To the throne of his Maker, the home of the blcst.
How peaceful and calm he rests on the bier
Each heart droops in sadness, and each eye sheds
The Hero, the Statesman--his journey is done;
A II his cares now are over, his last battle won.
Now sweety he rests from his sorrows and fears,
And left proud nation in sadness and tears
Oh bear him full gently disturb not his rest,
And let the turf lightly be heap'd on his breast;
For oh he was noble, and gentle, and KIND
And was deep in the hearts of the people en5hrin d.
Let the flag which he loved envelope his form,
Which often streamed DER him in the battles fierce
storm.
Oh ! calm let him rest with his deeds and his fame,
And halos OF glory encircle his name
1t was near two o'clock when the procession COM
menced to move. The rich yet simple coffin was
borne through the great hall door, before which
stood the funeral car This very imposing We.
hicle The wheels black and massive, in imi-
ation of those of the ancient Roman chariot7. The
main body of the car expanded over these TO the
length of IL feet, and width of6l. Upon this,
the place on which the coffin was to rest was
raised in the centre. A canopy, IN form OF
an ARCH extended from front to rear. All this
was cnveoped in fine black cloth, entwined with
white satin, having large silver spangles in each
rosette. The canopy was surmounted by large
golden gle covered with Grape. At the four cor
ncrs of the car golden urns, also shrouded
