The New England Diadem gives its readers the following beautiful stanzas, which were suggested by hearing read an extract of a letter front Capt. Chase, giving an account of iho sickness and death of his brother-in-law, Mr. Brown Owen, who died on his passage to California. We have seldom met with any thing so painfully interesting in every line, and it will be read with "tearv eyes" bv many who may have lost brothers, fathers, husbands or sons on their way lo or after having reached the land of Cold and of Graves: Lay up nearer, brother, nearer, For my limbs are growing cold, And thy presence serine!h dearer, When thy arms around me fold: I am dying, brother, dying, Soon you'il miss mc in your iterth, For my form wiii soon be lying, 'Neath tho ocean's briny surf. Hearken to me, brother. hearken, -I have something I would say, Ere the veil my vision 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 lie does nothing wrong. Tell my lather when you grout him, That in death 1 prayed for him, That 1 one day might meet him, In a world that's free from sin; Tell my mother, (God as. i-t her Now that she is growing old,) That her child would glad have kissed her, When his lips grow pale and cold. Listen brother, catch each whisper, Tis my wife I speak of now, Tell, oh tell her, how 1 mi-sed her, When the fever burned my brow; Tell her brother, closely listen, D6n'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 1 last impressed, Hold them as when last I held them, Folded closely to my breast; Give them early to their maker, Putiiug all her trust in God, And lie never will forsake her, For He's said so in his Word. .i i Uti my cnuuren: iieaveu im:c? uiuu.

Tell my sisters I remember, Every kindly parting word. And my heart has been kept tender. By the thoughts their memory Ktirred; Tell them 1 ne'er reached the haven Where I sought the "precious dust," But I have gained a port called Heaven, Where the gold will never rust.

"I reckon you see nothing very particular in ^ this,do you?" said an American acquaintance of mine, bringing out (lie culi' ol an old coat, and holding it up L :'<>rc me, dangling it between his finger and si.nmb. "I can't say that 1 1 replied I, "but I presume it has Bon>e secret merit, which remains to be explained."
