BY WILLIAM n. CRASsToN.

lnever saw thy gentle face,
My Brother, cold in death,
For God who gave, recalled the gin
Before drew o breath.
A pang had pierced my parents heart,
Their only Son was dead,
And they had lain him in his rest
Upon an earth-cold bed.
But lie who heals the wounded heart,
And makes the blind to see,
Bid them have faith in Providence,
And being gave to me.
In mercy He las reared me up,
From Childhood's fragile morn,
And brought me to the lrying scenes
OfManhood's fearful dawn.
But oh, life hath not charms to make
Its pathway always bright
For there are storms too dafk.for day,
And clouds too black for night.
The azure realm is clear above,
THIS holy Sabbath day,
But yet behind the circling verge
Are clouds in dark array.
Oh, these will rise ere long and break
With fury dark and wild,
But they cannot disturb thy sleep,
Oh loved and dreamless child.
So, too, shall earthly tempesls roar
Around thy HIother's head,
-. But they cannot profanc the calm
~ OF thy deep, narrow bed
oh. God of fheaven, give Thou Thy streng
ThatI may meet the gloom,
And rise, as has his ransomed soul
Beyond the mildewed tomb.
Then when at last the strife is Ger,
And earthly contests cease,
oh, Brother dear, shall come down
no thy cold dust in peace.
Here will the weary body rest,
When dust 10 dust is given;
Then take Thou, righteous God, my sou
To Thine own blssful heaven.
But few warm tears from loving eyes
Will mosen this lone sod;
They'll nourish well the flower within
This Acre of our God.
Oh, loved one, ever dear, wilt thou
Come to this Mecca shrine,
And yield apure hearts warmest sigh
Above the tomb Of thine
Breathe thou holy prayer TO meet
His earth freed soul above
Give there what here he cannot have,--
Thine undivided love.

iDr Franklin, that during his long residence
in Paris, being invited 10 party OF the nobi-
ty, where most Of the court and courtiers
were present, he produced great sensation
by one of his bod movements, and gained
great applause for his ingenuity.
According TO the custom of that age and
country, the mobiles, after the usual ceremonies
of the evening were over, sat down to a free
and promiscuous conversation. Christianity
was then the great topic. The church was
always ridiculed, and the Bible was treated
with unsparing severity. Growing warmer
and warmer in their sarcastic remarks, one
great lord commanded for a moment, univer-
sal attention, by his asserting in round voice,
that the Bible was not only piece Of arrant
deception, but totally devoid Of literary merit
Although the entire company Of Frenchmen
sodded hearty assent to the sentence, Frank.
lin gave no signs OF approval. Being at that
time court favorte, his companions could
not bear even tac,it reproof from a man OF
his weight and influence. They all appealed
to him for has opinion. Franklin in one Of
his peculiar ways, replied, that he was hard
ly prepared to give them a suitable answer
as his mind had been running on the merits
Of new book Of rare excellenc ', (which he
had just happened to fall in with at one of
the city bookstores and as they hal pleased

a very grave and sincere manner, he took an
old book from his Goa, pool ket and with pro-

The poem had its effect. The admring
listeners pronounced it the best they had ever
heard read. That is pretty" said one.-
" That is sub'imity." said another. I" 1t has
