: I'm sitting by thy grave, dear brother,
But thy face cannot see;
The evening winds sigh mournfully,
IT'S music sad to me-
They tell Of happy moments fed,
Sweet moments spent with thee,
No more such moments as those,
Are in reserve for me.
L am very sad and lonely. brother,
know not why It's so;
The burning tears roll down my cheek,
Twill not stop their flow.
They are all that can give TO thee,
Brother, OIL brother dear,
But lasting shall thy memory be,
Not transient as the tear.
Thou art resting gently, brother,
; = The long grass is dropping low,
sFhe flowers their petals soon viii shed
Above thy unconscious brow.
Isemetimes wish were bird,
That near thee might live;
Or as the flower. I'd bloom awhile
Then wither Ger thy grave.
? But why do / thus weepf
* Thou art far happier than 1;
Twas hard indeed when first leaned
. That such as thou could die.
FAREWELL awhile love,

In abrighter world above,
There will be no parting there.

Boston Journal says:
"The Ericsson is at an end. The In

poor Ericsson is a ruined man. He has
spent all his fortune in building his ca

made on the vessel. He has done more

which was great, and she too is beg

successful, his name would have been

his all; he has introduced ruin into q
once loving and happy home; and the
world coldly looks on, and says, 81 told

Loss OF 500, 900 AT FARO BAsxs.-

Loss OF 100000 AT FARO BANKS
A wealthy gentleman named Brailor,
from Maryland, arrived here some two
weeks ago upon visit to his friends,
and become a guest of the Carlton
House. He fell into the habit of visit
ing the gambling establishments of
Broadway, and became at Faro q
desperate better On some occasions
the sharpers would play the game in
such a manner as to let the intended
victim WIN four or FIVE dollars. When
satisfied that their customer was st to
be plucked, operations commenced in
earnest. He often risked on 'one turn
several five hundred dollar "chips,"
amounting in the aggregate to some
three or four thousand dollars by the
mere drawing Of one card from little
tin box in hands Of the dealer. In this
way the poor man persisted until he
was feeced, at last, of nearly every
dollar he possessed. We have been as
sured that his loss will probably exceed
one hundred thousand dollars!-alli in
the short space of week or ten days.
During the past forty-eight hours Mr..
B. has been in state of excitement.-
He became quite unconscious on Satur-
day. At 8 O'Clock in the evening he
was much worse, indeed crazy at inter-
walls. A messenger was dispatched by
the landlady for doctor, but before his
arrival Mr.. Brailor attempted to destroy
himself by swallowing six ounces of
laudnum from a bottle which he carried
in his coat pocket. Last evening Mr..
B. was lying very weak, but the physi-
clans were Of the opinion that he would
surviYe.-N Y. Times.

violated market regulation; and out of this, a

jury retired early on the afternoon OF Saturday,
and his honor Judge Crawford waited until near
dusk, in order to give them full time to agree on
a verdict but they could not do So although
from the commencement, there were eleven for
