From '.the Snov Drop"
MY BROTHERS GRAVE.

We were but children! Life was new;
Our hearts were buoyant as the morn;
Tears were to US the souls bright dew,
i Our smiles were of the sunshine born.
The thought that Death could e'er invade
The dear home of our little band.
Had never cast a passing shade
Upon the Futures fairy land.
How brief that dream! how soon its light
Was darkened by the gloomy pall!-
Death came-and hurried from our sight
The youngest, fairest ofus all!
We saw thee, brother, in thy shroud,
Deaths pallid hue was on thy cheek:
We called thy name, and wept aloud
Alas! thou heardst not--couldst not speak
Then eame the coffin and the knell--
The priest--the hearse--the funeral train ;
Faster our burning tear-drops fell,
More bitter that they fell in vain!
Afar from all thy kin, they laid
, Thy fair form in place OF rest;
The sexton piled his careless spade'
And piled the clods above thy breast.
Thy grave, thy long forsaken grave'
Lies far beyond those shadowy hills;
Yet, though no willows Ger thee waves
Sweet is thy rest from human ills.
No stone 10 there to mark the place,
Or call to mind thy name, or thee;
The stranger checks his needless pace,
And wonders whose that 6 rave may be!
The friends who wept above thy bier
fare scattered like the storm swept leavet
Time and its cares have dried the tear,
Yet sadly the lorn spirit grieves.
Full many toilsome year hath fled;
The suns of hope have dawned aud set;
Still do we love the early dead
Brother! thou art remembered yet!

impaired by the evolution ofthe tumor,
The operation having been determined
upon for the following day, Mrs. C.
remarked TO me that she had been ad-

she would like to have my advice, and
would abide by il; to which replied
that there were several well authenti-
Gated cases on record, in which surgic-
al operations had been performed, un.

THOUGHT AND DEED.
BY CHARLES REM Kennedy.
Full many light thought man may cherish
Full many an idle deed may do;
Yet not deed or thought shall perish
Not one but he shall bless or rue.
When by the wind the tree is shaken,
There's not bough or leaf shall fall,
But of its falling heed is taken
BY One who sees and governs all.
The tree may fall and be forgotten,
And buried in the earth remain;
Yet from its juices rank and rotten
Springs vegeta,ing life again.
The world is with creation teemins,
AnG nothing ever wholly dies;
Ard things that are destroyed in seeming,
In other shapes and forms arise.
And nature stillunfolds the tissue
OF unseen by spirit wrought;
And not work but hath its issue
With blessings or with evils fiaughs.
And mayS'st seem to leave behind thee
All memory Of the sinful past;
Yet oh, be sure thy sin shall find thee,
And thou shalt know its fruits at last.
