Mr. Brown Oven, who died on hit pootogo tc

Lor np nearer, brother, nearer.
For mj Umbo ore growing oold.
And thy presence seexneth dearer,
When tby arms around me fold;
1 am dying, brother, dying,
Soon ye U mice mo in your berth,
For my form will ooon be lying,
'Xeeth tho ocean's briny aurf.
Hearken to mo, brother, hearken,
I hare something I would nay,
Ere the reil of my riaion darken,
And I go from hence away ;
I am going, surely going,
But my hope in God is strong,
I am willing, brother, knowing
That ha ftofilh nnthlna wrntur
Tell my father when you greet him,
That in death I prayed for him.
Prayed that I may one day meet hiui,
In a world that's free from sin ;
Tell my mother, (God assist her
Now that she is growing old.)
Tell, her child would glad have kissed her,
When his lips grew pale and cold.
Listen brother, catch each whisper,
'Tis my wife I'd speak of now.
Tell, oh tell her, how I missed her,
When the ferer burned 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 I last impressed.
Hold them as when last I held ihem,
Folded closely to my breast;
Give them early to their Maker,
Putting all their trust in God,
And He never will forsake her.
For He's said ao in His word.
0 my ohildren, Heaven bless them!
They were all my life to me,
Would I could once more caress them,
Ere 1 sink beneath the sea;
Twas for them I crossed the ocean,
What my hopes were I'll not tell,
But I have gained an orphan's portion,
Yet He doeth all things well.
Tell my sister I remember
Every kindly parting word,
And my heart hoe been kept tender,
By the thoughts their mem'ry stirred ;
Tell them I ne'er reached the haven.
Where I sought the *'p^eciol,,, dust,"
But I've gained a port called Heaven,
Where the gold will never rust.
Urge them to secure an entrauoe,
For they'll find their brother there ;
Faith in Jesus, and repentanoe
Will secure for each a share ?
Hark ! I hear my Saviour speaking,
*Tis, I know his voice so well.
When I am gone, oh don't be weeping,
oruiiier, nuns a my insi larewcil.
Hasty people drink the nectar of exist
ence scalding hot.
Keep that man at a distance who hates
music and the lungh of a child.
Kindness in ourselves is the honey that
blunts the sting of unkiuducss is another.
Di7ine light is not as the light of the
sun, to work by.
1 My bark is wrecked,' as the dog remarked,
when thrown overboard in the
middle of the Atluntic Ocean.
It is well remarked, that it was better to
be born with a disposition to see things
on the favorable aide, than to an estate oi
ten thousand a year.
Happiness, it has been finely observed,
is in the proportion of the number of things
we love, and the number of things that
love us as well.

A oolored man at Cincinnati sued tho

He claimed ten thousand dollars damages,
and tho jury gave him one cent.
Richmond papers take encouraging
views of the next crop, and prophesy better

Let you be ever so pure, you cannot as

A Delicate Question.?"Why is the
letter P like u ring ?' said a young lady to
her accepted one day. The gentleman,
like tho generality nf his sex in such a situation,
was as dull as a hammer. " liecause/
added the lady with a very modest
look at the picture at the other end of the
room, " because we can't be wed without
it.'
Tits Printer's Love.?A poetical type
thus exputiatcs: "Wo love to seo the
blooming rose, in all its Hfcauty drest; wo
love to hear our friends disclose the ctuo

The Advantage of Change.?A ner
son asked an irishman why be wore his
stockings wrongside outward * Because,'
said he, ''there's a hole on the other side "
To enjoy life you should ho a little tni*
erable occasionally. Trouble, like cayenne,
Li not very agreoable iu itself, but gives
great zost to other things.
A man in Cincinnati recently cut his
throat, because lie lived next door to an
amateur trombone player. The coroner
held an inquest and returned a verdict of
'justifiable homicide.'
A mother admonishing her son (a lad
some seven years of age,) told him he
should never doler til! to morrow what he
could do today. Th.- little urchin replied.
"Then mother, let's cat tho remainder of
the plum pudding to night."
A learned writer says of bojks : " They
are masters who instiuet ui without rods
or ferules, without thanks or anger, without
bread or money. It you approach them
they are not asleep ; if you seek them they
do uht hide ; if you blunder they dot scold;
if you arc igncraut they do not laagh at
you.
Cool Compliment.?An acquaintance
the other day meeting with n lady friend in
tho street, p-ssed the won!, " Fine day,
Miss D.' " Fine," exclaimed the shivering
damsel; "my feet are cold as ice.' Very
likely,' was the cool rejoinder, u I have always
said you had a n ice loot.'

He is cousing German or Dutch relative to
the Unicorn. He was born in the desert
Sary Ann, and feeds on bamboo and uiis
sionaries. lie never leaves his home unless
he moves, in which case he goes somewhere
else, unless ho is overtaken by the
dark. He is a very courageous creature,
and always whips when he conquers lie
was brought to this country much against
his will, which accounts for his low spirits
when he is dejected and melancholy, lie
is now somewhat aged?although he has
seen the day when he was the youngest

The Fredericksburg Iierald rays: We
arc informed of a singular case ot change
of color that is tmw going on in the petson
of a black man living in Culpepper county,
Va. Our informant has kinmn the negro
for fifteen years, and describes him to have
been at one time as " black as tar." \\ ithin
the last three months the negro has
been gradually changing his skin. His
. hands are still dark, hut Irotu (lie wiisis to
i the shoulders as fair as any white man's,
j His whole body is spotted, gradually changing
its hue. It is a marvel in view of
i the fuct. that the negro has never had a
