There is nothing more eIquisitsly affecting ia
8 sensitive man than TO view the last honOrs
paid to poor privats By his comrades in arms.
A rough pine coffin drawn in . mule team, and
followed by eighs men aud a corporal, with re-
Yersed arms. and perhaps some hall dozen men
who knew and loved the man whose remains
are to be committed to the earth, are all that
serves to indicate that one more weary spirit is
at rest.
