MY BROTHER jim.

NY brother Jim, my brother Jim,
How we'll do remember him!
He was my senior by two years,
And I his junior nearly ten;
At least it so to me appears,
So much inferior I was then.
{ I loved him then because he was
The only boy that l could sauce,
Or boldly otiarlel with, without
The fear'of getting soundly licked
Sometimes would, without doubt,
Go much too far and then get kicked.
Whenever got in fuss
with some boy ready for "muss"
Who was almost my very size,
I,d always call him brother jim;
He'd take the job from off my hands,
And very good it was in him.
$ How very proud was I, and bold,
TO stand in safety off, and hold
&C Behind some very handy tree 50
To keeptfe sun out of my eyesl,
! His coat and hatand gladly see
That boy get, polished in trice'
Indeed, such was my modesty,
That ]. would much prefer that he
s Shonld win 'the.honor and renown
Oflsyery fight had on hand
Than dot myself; the loss, | own, -,
Was something that L well could
stand.
Andshe, I'm very proud to note,
NV most original essays wrote
Did my hard sums In algebra
. Translated all my Latin dim,
: And did my work while would pay ::
Oh, how I loved my brother Jim!
I used to let him saw the wood
Just likea kindly brother should;
Permitted him..to bear it in;
Allowed him all the fires to make
I'd let him keep the garden clean,
LIDO most anything for his sake. .
Ineyer growled because he did
The work, to do which was bid;
{ 1 shared with all had to share
Divided all my chores with him;
& helped him eat his oranges
T was so good to brother Jim.
4 used to let him take my place..
Tn staying home of nights, and days
Iu which there there was no school, 70
bother;
I shared his joys and cakes with him
/. There's nothing like bigger brother,
If you had one like brother Jim !!

Almost melancholy and distressing accident lent
days since. MIR. Edward P. Sipler, aged
thirty-fve years, and native of New Jersey,
was standing, about 2:3O o'clock, adjusting
the guides Of the large circular saw of which
he had charge. The saw was running at the
rate of 800 revolutions per minute, when he
missed his strike and was carried into the
fatal grip of the deadly instrument. Quick
as flash went the top Of his head, next his
right arm, then his left, the poor fellows en-.
tire body being horribly mangled and cut into
many pieces, as if by a razor. Death was,
fortunately, instantaneous, and as soon as the
machinery could be stopped the remains were
gathered. He was stout, hearty man, mar
RED, with three children.
