"MY BROTHER SLEEPS"
BY JAMES CHALLRN.

"My brother sleeps.n o, wake him not,
The maple boughs still DER him bendingi
And nightly, on his birchen mound,
The heavens their bslmiest dews are sending.
He was my pride, my only joy;
No sister have l. father, mother;
All these, and more than these to me
He was my kind, my gentle brother.
All day, through forests wild we went,
Al night we slept, our arms embracing;
And now, in dreams, the paths he trod,
My captive spirit still is tracing.
The woods, for him, seem doubly dear;
The vines more close the oaks are ,wining;
The very lake more calmly sleeps
Beneath the stars, on him shining.
His spirit breathes in every sigh,
His form see in every motion;
His voice is heard in every gale,
That sweeps the land and stirs the ocean.
Tho roe not more fleet of foot,
More gay the red bud OF the mountain;
The music sweeer of his voice,
Than laughing brook, or gushing fountain.
But paeness 81 Die upon his cheek,
And ali he said, 8 am a-weary."
And when the fatal moment came,
II lefi me very lone and dreary.
All day he leaned upon my arm,
All night gazed upon him, weeping;
AT mo IN he whispered, " Brother DEAR
And now beneath yon shade he's sleeping.
Ne,o kan, mis- nae ba :" o, how sweet,
The maple boughs his bed adorning;
His SAUNDERS never will be broke,
Until the resurrection morning.

BEAUTIFUL INSCRIPTION.

A correspondent of the Cleveland Herald,
who has been travelling along the romantic
shores of Lake Superior, says that he was ram
bling in the neighborhood of Marquette, when
he came upon an Indian burying ground. One
grave, covered with birch bark, was beautifully
situated between two maple trees, whose green
boughs met over it in a leafy arch. AT the
head was rude cross, on which was marked,
Z" Ne,c, kan, ms, ne 6a"-(my brother sleeps

FALL RIVER, MASS, AprfI lG, 1885.


Its the Eras) more recent fearless advocacy
of anti Know n othingism has met my hearty
approval from the first, as | know it has of
many others who yet, like myself, have thought
it advisable to refrain from organized opposi
ton ust now, believing that after the novelty
and excitement attending the formation and
success of the new party shall have passed
away, aud the sensible men among them can
didly consider the matter, aided by the ele-
msnts of discord already among them, and a
few such ridiculous farces as "nunnery COM
mittees," and above all, the false basis upon
which the whole thing rests, and the anti-re
publican tendency of its doctrines, l repeat,
that, thus believing, they are confident that an
opposing movement will start into being, that
will sweep it away, and that its decline and
utter humiliation as party will be as rapid
and sure as its rise has been mysterious and
causeless.
With these feelings, many outside the or
ganization have refrained from exercising the
elective franchise at the recent municipal cleo
tons, suffering them for the time being to go
by default. They have believed that this would
be the most effective, and, Judging from the
disappointment manifested, have judged right
ly. Ii, from the ruins of the old parties and
the disruption of this, a party shall be formed,
through the North and West, truly and thor
oughly American, divorced from Slavery on
the one hand and Bigotry on the other. this
Know Nothing movement may not have been
in vain

AN EXECUTIVE USURPATION.


The appointing power, at best, is not in
harmony with American ideas; its abuse is
tyranny. If our Executives could be content
with their share of legislative business, and
sought not to encroach further on the territory
of the people, we might leave them their dig
nifty of well-limited monarchs. But they are
not content. The appointing power they turn
against the Legislative power and against the
balIot-box. If man is rebuked by his con-
stituents, he is rewarded by the President If
he fails TO reach Washington, he is sent to Eu-
rope. Thus the people are cheated of their in
dignation. What business has the Executive
with elections in Ohio or New York? What
business to shield one whom the people may
wish to punish as traitor? Certainly he
ought to appoint such men as agree with him
in principles; but why select those whom the
people have condemned ? Administrations
which thus oppose the popular will must them
selves fall under condemnation, and no arm can
snatch them from popular Judgment But the
effectual remedy for this abuse would be the
removal of the power.
Delighted, like the rest Of mankind, with your
course on Know Nothingism, yours, &C.,
