Lie Up Nearer, Brother.

The New England Diadem, magazin,
published many years ago, gave its read
ers the following beautiful stanza, which
were suggested by hearing read an ex-
tract of letter from Captain Chase
giving an account of the sickness ant
death of his brother-in-law, Mr.. Brown
Owen, who died on his passage to Cali
fornia. The poem deserves rescue from
oblivion by republication:
Lie up nearer, brother, nearer,
For my limbs are growing cold,
And thy presence seemeth dearer,
When thy arms around me fold;
l am dying, brother, dying,
Soon you'll miss me in your berth,
For my arm will soon be lying
Meath the oceans briny surf.
Harken to me, brother, harken,
l have something l would say,
Ere the veil my vision darken
And go from hence away.
l am going, surely going,
But my hope in God is strong,
/ am willing. brother, knowing
That He doeth nothing wrong.
Tell my father when you greet him,
That in death 1 prayed for him,
Prayed that may one day meet him,
In world that's free from sin;
Tell my mother (God assist her
Now that she is growing old), [her,
Tell, her child would glad have kissed
When her lips grew pale and cold.
Listen, brother, catch each whisper,
'Tis my wife I'd speak of now.
Tell, oh, tell her, how missed her,
When the fever burnt my brow,
Tell her. brother, closely listen,
Don't forget a single word,
That in death my eyes did glisten
With the tears her memory stirred.
Tell her she must kiss my children,
Like the kiss last impressed,
Hold them as when last held them,
Folded closely to nay breast:
Give them early to their Maker,
Putting all her trust in God,
And He never will f0rsake her,
For He said 80 in His Word.
Oh, my childrenl Heaven bless them
They were all my life to me;
Would l could once more caress them,
Ere | sink beneath the sea;
Twas for them crossed the ocean,
What my hopes were I'll not tell,
But 1 have gained an orphans portion,
Yet He doeth all thing well.
Tell my sisters remember
Every kindly parting word,
And my heart has been kept tender,
AS the thoughts their mem'ry stirred,
Tell them l ne'er reach the haven
|, Where | sought the precious dust"
. But have gained port call'd Heaven,
r Where the gold will never rust.
Urge them to secure an entrance,
For they'll find their brother there
Faith in Jesus and repentance
Will secure for each a share
Harki hear my Savior speaking,
'Tis, know His voice so well,
When l am gone, oh, don't be weeping,
Brother, here's my last farewell.

the plan of compelling children to COM

A yiElIant Councilman.

We were down at Cheyenne a few
days ago, and dropped into the council
chamber just in time to witness the
opening exercises. Chaplain Sanders
in concluding the morning devotion
repeated the Lords prayer.
Capt. Quinn, the councilman from
Sweetwater, who pays the closest atten,
ton to everything which is going on,
knit his brows eminously, during the
prayer, and at its conclusion turned tc
Councilman p. II. Smith and remarked
at seems to me that 1 have heard
that before! 1 believe he stole it,"
Perry said he thought not. The
prayer struck him as being entirely
original and appropriate. AS Perry is
regarded as the highest authority In
that body, on theological questions, the
captain subsidized, merely remarking,
soto roce: "Well, he amt going to
wiring in any second hand prayers on
us-not If l know it. Laramie Senti-
mel.

The necessity at this time for Wyto-
ming to circulate matter concerning
her goes without saying.
What form such matter shall take and
how it shall be brought within imme-
date and practical reach are they only
questions. We think the proposed par-
chase by the legislature of all the copies
that can be obtained of the Hand Book
of Wyoming, is the exact measure for
the present; while the immigration bill
also pending, with certain improve
ments already suggested, win lay the
foundation for solid returns in the fu-
ture.
1t is pretty generally known in Wyo-
ming, as it is universally admitted in
our neighboring territories, that in the
| Wyoming Hand Book we possess a doc
ument superior to any of its class yet
published. But that does not imply
that even here we thoroughly appre-
ciate the great scope Of this work or
the difference between it and an ordi-
nary cold array of facts and figures.
Besides being exhaustive and reliable,
it is entertaining. Some regions may
be so thoroughly known and sought
that every atom of information con-
corning them is eagerly appropriated.
Not so with Wyoming. More centrally
located, and probably possessing a
greater diversity of than any
of the Rocky Mountain territories,
Wyoming is yet the least known, and
what we want is something attractive
enough to create an appetite, while at
the same time it contains good, solid
substance to satisfy. AS a writer upon
the resources Of our vast west, Mr..
Strahorn has made his mark above all
others, because of this happy faculty of
forcing glow and romance into facts
and figures, and at the same same time
holding fact to the truth.
In our frequent reference to this
work we find that it reaches every in
terest of wen the remotest corners of
the territory. Our grazing, agricultu-
raj and lumber interests; our great
iron, coal, copper, marble, soda, sui.
phur, mica and ore deposits; our eli
mate, scenery, mineral springs, tourists
resorts, and attractions in the way of
game and fish; our society, church and
school privileges; u laws, business,
transportation facilities and a vast fund
of other information is crowded into
the $50 pages, which compose the book.
1t fills a Wyoming man with pride to
read such a treatise of his surrounding
and when he sends it abroad he knows
it will command the respect no Other
immigration document has yet re-
ceived. 1t has already done Wyoming
incalculable good, and let us have al
we can of it.
