Thaughts ut my Brothers. Grave.
Sleep on, sweet brother,
Thy short race Is done;
Thy sorrows are o'er,
Thy crown, thou hast won.
Two summers have fed,
To join those of yore,
Since thy tiny feet
Strayed to that shore;
Where angels awaited.
Thy coming there,
To carry thee home,
To their mansions fair,
Where summers blossoms
Fell meath autumns hand,
Angels whispering told,
There was a bright land,
Where flowers never faded,
And death may not dwell,
Nor lips ne'er whisper,
That sad word, farewell
Then turned thou away,
From loving hearts here,
And dwelest thou now,
In yon Heavenly sphere.
Soon shall greet thee,
In that home thou'st sought;
Where sorrow and care
Shall trouble us not.

The last offence we believe, that he commit

misfortune is that he scW drink. and when he

say, but there he was enjoying as profound a
