"Hug me closer, closer, mother,

And feel 40 strange " night
Something hurts ms here, desr mother,

oh, ] wonder, wonder. mother,
Why IL 10 ! cannot rest!
"Ali day long while you are working,
As ! lAy upon my bed,
was trying 10 DO patient.
And " think Of what you said;
How this kind and blessed Jesus
Loves His lambs 10 watch and keep;
And | wished He'd come and take me
In His arms, that might sleep.
Just before the lamp was lighted,
Just before the children came,
While the room Was very quiet,
heard some one call my name,
And a. once the windDw opened,
In . field we're lambs and sheep,
Some from out brook were drinking,
Some we're lying fast asleep,
4" But could not see tho Saviour,
Though strained my eyes 20 see
And wondered N lie saw me,
Would He speak TO such ~ me
In q moment ] was looking
On . world 30 bright and fair,
Which was full Of little children,
And they seemed 80 happy there
They we're singing, oh how sweetly
Hwester songs l never heard
They were singing sweetsr, mother,
Than can sing our yellow bird,
And while my breath was holding,
One 40 bright upon me smiled;
And | knew n must he Jesus,
when lie said, Come here, my child
"'Comc up here, my little Bessie
Come up here and live with ne,
Where tho children never suffer,
hut are happier than you see
Then thought of NIL you told me
OF that bright and happy land
was going when you called mo,
When you came and kissed my hand.
"And at first felt 40 sorry
You had called mo II would go
Oh tn sleep, and never suffer
Mother. don't be crying so
Hug mo closer, closer, mother,
Put your arms around me tight;
Oh how much love you, mother,
But feel 40 strange, tonight
ABd the mother pressed her close
To her over.burdened breast
On the heart 80 near 10 breaking,
av the heart 40 near its rest.

his father. whose chief claim is for the in

TO the last devoted loyalist. Before the
Revolutionary war he held several civil and
military offices Of Importance. At the com
mencement OF the war he held the Office OF
Governor Of New Jersey, which appointment
he received in 1873. When the difficulties
between the mother country and the colonies
were coming TO crisis, he threw bis whole
influence in favor Of loyalty, and endeavored
to prevent the Legislative Assembly Of New
Jersey from sustaining the proceedings OF
the General Congress Of Philadelphia.
These efforts. however, did but little to stay
the tide Of popular sentiment in favor Of IT.
