By DAVID RTlN.
I'm standing by thy grave, brother,
The sun is sinking now;
Its last rays fall on swimming eyes,
And sorrow-clouded brow.
The sharer of my boyhood,
Nv manhood's verdant bloom,
Is in those walls of granite
This hope-forbidding tomb.
Ny heart is with thee, dearest,
I'm resting by thy side!
And methinks ii would be well,
III with thee, had died.
The passion waves of nature
Are rolling mountain high!
They cannot lull till solace comes
From yon unfading sky.
I'm thinking of the place, brother,
Where we first saw the light;
The cottage on the hillside,
Where all was Eden bright;
The song of birds in Spring,
The peaeh-tree blooming red,
The meadow grass so green and soft,
Tbot ,yoo nf,r rr, m mar ha1
The young hearts gushing joy,
By elder-shaded brook,
Where little gold-like fish were caught
With tiny line and hook;
Rich berries on blue vines,
Sweet nuts on leaves of gold!
Oh! give ME back my youthful days!
The heart can meier grow old!
The winter winds blew cold, brother,
The snow-hales drifted high.
But we had a blazing hearth at night
At morn, an azure sky.
Out on the CLASSY stream,
We bounded wild and free,
The music of the soul played soft,
But, oh loved sympathyl
BRIGHT eyes and rose-dyed cheeks
Recalled us back in vain
Oh, happy, happy, scenes OF mirth
We meier shall see again!
No more the tingling bell
Will make the blood mount up
On mt Times hand weighs heavily
Thoust drank the bitter cup!
We left our woodland homo, brother,
And playmates held most dear;
"God bless you ALL" we could but say
And drop the souls hot tear.
Our footsteps pressed q land,
Where virgin affairs burned
WiidAowersb edecked unbroken GROUND
Where e'er cur footsteps turned;
We grew up there-we labored there
With SONS of honest toll.
Our Father, Mother, taught us that,
From vice we must recoil;
The first is sleeping with thee,
The last has time-bleached hair
Oh! God of Mercy, give her strength
This thunderbolt to bear!
We parted years gone by, brother,
Lies battle to fight wells,
The struggles of adversely,
The heart alone can tell!
The sunlight seldomed frightened
Our hayward, louely path,
Buta "still small voice" commanded Ut
To heed not fortunes wrath.
The smiles were worn by thee,
And glanced upon thy pillow,
Like rays that on life's heaving SEA,
illuminate each billOw!
The amaranth cannot fade,
Though the wreath be rudely broken
The hearts pure of'rings are thine
Death boards that precious token!
Thy name will live with noblemen
Of Natures chosen class;
All is not perishable here
All cannot from us pass!
But ali there's loved ones calling
LIES buds, ye,callin vain!
And thy bosom's t'nder treasure
Drops tears like summer rain!
They'll plant upon thy grave,
The first fresh flowers Of Spring,
And the Summers last and lonely rose
To thy narrow home they'll bring;
And they'll breathe silent prayer,
When stars come out at even,
That thou'rt walking in the sapphire
paths
Of the souls eternal heaven.
Farewell, my young, loved brother

LIFE INSURANCE. AND SuICIDE.-A decision has
just been rendered by the Supreme Court in
the State Of Maine which Is calculated, we should
think, to excite some interest among the insu.
rance companies and life insurers. II was
case in which man committed suicide and his
heirs claimed the amount for which his life was
insured. We believe that In almost all life in
surance policies there Is q clause which alb
solves the company from payment when death
occurs by .felo dc Sc Are the life insurance
companies Of Maine conducted on different
principles from those Of this State, Probably
the court held that suicide occurs from insanity
aud is the result Of special afliction of Provi.
dence, and therefore o natural death. We
hardly think that such Judgment would pass
uncontcsted in New York. The insurance COM
panies would be in bad Ok II this rule was
established, for there are great many men
who would insure their lives for the benefit Of
their families and then commit suicide. II Is
rather a risky kind Of gambling operation, II is
true, but still there are some people who would
be found to try II. Tho good old rule that te'o
de Sc visiates life. insurance policy Is about
the best, after all.
