The ceremonies at the grave were i'm
posing and solemn. While the corpse
was being lowered into the tomb, the
congregation sang those melancholy lines
by Watts, commencing
"Oh Grimes is dead that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more"
Three volleys were then fred over the
grave, by the military and the surviving
heroes. Then came the solemn words,
"earth to earth, ashes to ashes, and dust
to Gust" and the grave was closed.
The congregation then repaired to a
shady place. where the Reverend Harp
discoursed funeral sermon, taking for
his text, portion Of the prose poetry of
Job, wherein it is related that the
Whangdoodle mourneth." His illusions
and figures were affecting and beautiful,
and the intonations of his voice were we'll
suited to the mournful occasion. He
compared the President to the Whang- |
doodle. and Lecomptou to his first born.
The President mourns for Lecompton
therefore, he was alluded to by Job, when
he said, "the Whangdoodle mourneth
for his first born" He also likeaed Bu-
chanan unto Job. He called every vote
against Lecompton sore boil with which
Buchanan was afflicted, and the Free
State party was the Devil, who inflicted /
the sores upon him. He likewise COM
pared Buchanan to virgin, who was
overshadowed by spirit, (of evil, and
brought forth Lecompton that wicked
men in Congress sought to slay it, and
for safety he sent it afar off to the plains
of Kansas. But wicked men there slew
it j.; and therefore, "the Whangdoodle
mourneth for his first born"
During the delivery Of this affecting
discourse, the entire congregation were
moved to tears. All retired from the
melancholy spot, deeply impressed with
the fact, that the days of Lecompton were
a." few and full of trouble. He came up
like a sparrowgrass. was cut down like a
hoppergrass, and died like Jack-ass ]"

BRIDAL THOUGHTS.

have speeulated great deal upon mat
rimony. l have seen young and beautiful
women, the pride of gay circles married, as
the world says, we'll. Some have moved
into costly houses, and their friends have
come and looked at their furniture and their
splendid arrangements for happiness, and
they have gone away and committed them
to their sunny hopes, cheerfully and without
fear. 1t is natural to be sauguine for the
young; at such times | am carried away by
similar feeling. | love to get unobserved
into corner, aud watch the bride in her
white attire, and with her smiling face, and
her soft eyes blessing me in their pride of
life, weave . waking dream of future happi.
ness, and persuade myself that it will be
true. | think how they will sit upon the
luxurious sofa, as the twilight falls, and
build gay hopes and murmur in low tones
the now not forgotten tenderness; and how
thrillingly the allowed kiss, and tho beauti-
full endearments of welded life, will make
even their parting joyous, and how gladly
they will come back from the crowd, and
the empty mirth of the gay, to each others
quiet company. ! picture to myself that
young creature who bushes even now at his
hesitating caress, listening eagerly for his
footsteps as the night steals on, and wishing
that be would come and when he enters al
last, and with an affection as undying as his
pulse, folds her to his bosom, l can feel the
tide that goes flowing through the heart,
and gaze with him on the graceful being as
she moves about for the kind offices of,affec-
ton, soothing all bis unquiet cares and mak>
ing him forget even himself, in her young
and unshadowed beauty.
! go forward for years, and see her luxu-
riant hair put soberly away from her brow
and her girlisb graces resigned into dignity,
and her loveliness chastened with the gentle
neekness of maternal affection. Her hus>
band looks on her with a proud eye, and
shows her the same fervent love and delicate
attention which first won her and her fan

ThE CoUNTEss BURITA. During the seige
Of Saragossa, in the year 1909, the Countess
Budta formed corps of women for the re-
lief of the wounded, and for the purpose Of
carrying provisions and wine to the soldiers.
Many persons OF the most unquestionabe
veracity in Saragossa, declared that they had
frequently seen this young, delicate and
beautiful woman cooly attending to the du-
ties she bad prescribed to herself, in the
midst Of the most tremendous frs Of shot
and shells; nor were they ever able to per-
ceiye, from the first moment, that she enter.

personal danger could produce upon her the
slightest effect, or bend her from her beneyo.

STRANGE, If TRUE.-As man was
walking in his garden, he discovered two
clothes horses. He took them into bis stable
where be soon broke them. He then put
the yoke of an egg upon their necks, attach
cd them to cart by the bonds of friendship.
and covered them with sheet of lightning.
to protect them from flies. He then leaped
upon the cart, sat upon the seat of governs
lnent, took the whip of top in one hand
and the reins of several kings in the other,
and drove of, passing through the gate of
buffalo, over the ground coffee for three
miles; but in crossing the track of snail
he was run into by train Of thought and
dashed heels over head into stream of
eIoquence, where the cart was broken against
the rock of cradle. BY industry and fru
gaIity he soon gained the shore, when he
made a boat of the bark of prairie wolf,
which he fitted with mast Of the north
polc and two auction sales. He then sailed
down the river to its mouth, and landed
upon tongue of land, when he was seized
by serious sensation and conveyed to a
cell, where he was secured by chain Of
Lightning, fastened by thunderbolt. The
jailor gave him his liberty for Christmas
present, and read him the report Of cannon.

A PAINFUL OPERATIoN-T Loudonn
&c. W) Press, of the 22d ulL., relates the
following occurrence
On Saturday morning, a little fellow,
about s years old, son of Mr.. Gileau,
bookseller, while playing with some other
boys on North street, approached lamps
post and careless!y applied his tongue TO its
gray-flosted surface, when, in an instant, 10
the boys own horror and utter establishment
of his paymates, be was held fast by his
tongue to the post, suffering severe pain,
and to'ally unable to hel p or extricate him~
self. OF course the boy could not speak.
and could only manifest his feelings by signs
with his hands. Various applications of
warm tea, steam. etc., were made by some
neghbors who heard the unusual noise made
by the other boys, and came to learn what
was the matter, but Of no avail. Slch was
the action of the cold iron that the hold
was even getting tighter When after about
ten minutes had elapsed the boys father
heard of the affair, and Fastening to his res
lief, he took knife and was obliged to cut
the tongue loose, leaving its skin still fast to
the post, and causing the blood 10 fiow'very
profusely. Immediately on his release the
poor little fellow became insensible, and was
taken home.
