the deceased could have the slightest interest was
forwarded with the remlirs, which were sent for

burg and Baltimore to Washington. whence they
will be conveyed under flag of truce to his for
mer home in Virginia. The ball which caused the
death of Gen. Garnett was from n M.nie musket.
and the wound produced is said To be most ter
rible one tearing the body like cannon ball. The
ball entered the m dde of the back and came put
just above the breast, tearing through two coats, a

TIE OLD COUPLE.

Ii stands in sunny meadow,
The house so mossy and brown,
With its cumbrous old stone chimneys,
And the gray root sleping down.
The trees fold their green arms around it,
The trees, a century old;
And the winds 90 chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill
And beside the brook in the pastures
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them
They sit in the sun alone
And the old wife's ears are failing,
As she harAs to well known Tone
That won her heart in her girlhood,
That has soothed her in many care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again Of her bridal
How, dressed in her robes of white.
Ste stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
Oh, the morning is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek is fled;
I ,.As4L the sunshine still is golden.
=. sBnt it falls on q silvered head.
And the girlhood dreams once vanished,
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses tremble
With the thrill of spring times prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how the trees have grown,
Since, clad in her bridal whlteness,
She crossed the old door stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
And dimmed her young hairs gold
The love IL her sirlhood piishted
Has never grown dim nor old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine,
Till the day was almost done
And then. 4 its close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyelcls with balm;
And their last breath floated upward,
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they traversed
The unseen. mystical road,
That leads to the beautiful city.
"Whose builder and maker is God"
Perhaps in that miracle country
They will get her lost youth back:
and the flowers of a vanished spring time
VIII bloom in the spirits track.
One d.aueht from. the living waters
Shall call back his nlanhood's prime
And eternal years shall measure
The love that outlived time.
But the shapes that they left behind them.
The wrinkles and silver hair;
Made holy to Us by the kisses
The angel had printed there,
We will hide away meath the willows,
When the day is low in the west:
Where the sunbcams cannot find them.
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
And we'il suffer no tell tale tombstone,
With Is age and Gate. TO rise
O'er the two that are Old no louger;" -
