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.
They were all my life to me,
Would I could once more caress them,
Ere I sink beneath the sea;
^ t 'Twas for them I crossed the ocean,
What my hopes were I'll not tell,
But I havo gained an orphan's portion,
*> Yet He doeth all tilings well.
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.
Urge them to secure an entrance,
_ For they'll find their brother there,
Faith iu Jesus and repentance
Will secure to each a share?
Hark! Fbear mv Savior speaking,

THE OLD BROWN COAT.
'BY CAPTAIX MAKKYAT.
"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."
"Ex-act-/^ replied my acquaintance, pronouncing
each syllable of the word apart; "yet
the coat, of which this is the remaining cuff,
was the occasion of my being just now pretty
considerable well to do in the world; I guess
I'm right, ain't t?" continued lie appealing to |
his wife, a very pivlly Young, woman, who I
stood I>y l.iai. ! s
"So you seem to think," replied she,':
smiling, "but I ani convince I, so far as I am t
concerned i:i the hush es;, that the coat had ;
anything to do with it." ! i
"Well, then, I shall just tell my story, and i
leave you to decide," sr.id he, turning to me. t
"You must know that there was a time when j
I was rather hard up, and how to go a- i
head was the business. I had tried mercantile :
speculation, and sunk an immensity of dollars, t
1 had turned lawyer, but that would not answer \
hi any way. I took to fanning?no luck there. !
Went out supercargo; ship wont on a reef, and t
lost cargo, iletui ned to New \ ork, specula- j
tula long while on nothing; did'nt lose much, !
that's c?rt-t:n, but didn't realise; at last I gave I
up Imsi, ess and resolved to amuse myself a lit- i
tie, so I went south, and joined Holivar. 1 i
fomrht with him for three vears, and a good 1
o'licer he was; hut he I.ail one la a It as a gene- I
ral, \vi:icl? was thai his army never got paid. : (
I wanted i! V three \vars, and finding there was ]
neither pay nor plunder, 1 got tired ol'it, and <
made my way home to the Stales, and at last
arrived at the capital, i:I? <?:dy one extra shirt, i
and no! a rent in my pocket, i happened to ]
meet with a tailor, who customer I had once I
been, when I had money ami paid my bills; and I
he observed that my coat was rather shabby, i
and that very well, and that all he wanted was |
an order for another, but as i had no chance ; I
of paying i'ini, i thought it advisable not to J
take the bin*. 'J think,' said !, 'that with a new ; ;
velvet enii.ir and brass buttons, it might do 1
well lor tin evening pat ly.' 1
"'I see,'says he; 'that's an old.country ens- ' i
torn wearing an old coat at a ball; 1 guess you're ]
going to jvir. i.s lo-morrow nignu a regular
flare-up, I am told. President there, and eve- ' I
rv-hody el?e. It's hardlv worth it/ continued j
he, tonchi >g tisc threadbare cud". ; 1
"Well, the coat came home the next day, , 1
not early in the morning, as 1 expected, hut past 1
meridian, m 1 i walked up and down my hod- I
room in my trousers, thinking what 1 should
do. At three o'clock 1 called upon Mrs. T. ji
and h it my card, went hack again, and waited :
two hours tor the invitation ?no invitation, i i
("ailed . gain at fi e, and loll another card, tel. |
li.ig the nigger t!i::t I had not reee'hod an in-. I
vitution, and that th re must he a mistake; '
whereupon an hiviiatl.m cane about an hour; i
after my rct'.rn, just as ! was putting my hat >1
on to call again, and leave another card, in a j <
very fierce manner, ! n clton. Well, I went j I
very eariv to the hall, and my coat looked re- i I
im:;kahly gay. Yon could see that the volvit | <
collar was new, ami the buttons glittered laiimiuIv,
but v ia e ml I nut see thai t!ie cloth i
was nut a iitlle the worse for wear, ia short, I
!:iv brown eu.it looked very smart, ami ! was a j i
considerable smart IVII.jw myself j:i~t at t'.iat ; i
time. j I
"W e!!, i stood near the door, looking at the ;
company comi ig in, hoping to know somebody; j
bull piv.-iune I .md grown osit o! all reculk-c- '
tion, for nobody knew ine; but as the cotilpa j <
ny were announced i heard their names, ami if j
they di! not know wiio i was, at a!i events 1 i
fotnul out \v;*o they were.
"Ti i won't do, : ays I, as the room-; became

at la t iving a yom:g lady speaking to the 1
daughter of t .e -S *r tary ol t .o \ ivy, at tor j
tiiey patted, i went up and howt d to l.er.? j
Having heard her name, I pretended t<> be an '
old ae-piaititance, and accused her of having
forgotten me. As 1 was very positive and ve- J
ry bold, site presuineil it was the case; and j
when I gave her my name, win'-.h 1 refused to 1
do until we had been talking lor some minutes, j
as it happened to be a very good one, she con- {
sidered that it was all light, and in another J
quarter of an hour we became very intimate I ;

daughter of the Secretary of the Navy. Shu
replied t!;at she did, ami 1 requested I.or to in- ;
troduce mt'. and offering her my arin, we walkid
up foge'm r, ami T was introduced. Now, j
thought i. I am going ahead a little. After
the introduction I commenced a conversation
with Mi s K , and a gentleman fortunately
relieved ino of my first acquaintance, whose
arm 1 iiad diojijied. 1 continued my attentions
to dli.ss E .exerted myself to the utmost,
and on the strength of my introduction and my
agreeahleness. 1 was soon intimate with her,
and she accepted my arm. As 1 paced her up
and down the loom, ! asked her if site knew
the daughter of (Jeneral .S , who was
near us. She replied in the aiiiruiative, and 1
requested an introduction, which was immediately
complied with, ttnd 1 ottered Miss S :
my oilier arm, and paraded them both up and
down the room, making them laugh not a little. '
"Now I'm going ahead, thinks I, and the old !
brown coat looks rem it a a lily well.
"'Here is the J'i i hot coining up/ said j
.MiK I)o you know hind'
" 'i did once, a liili hut he must have forgot- |

long.'
"The ('resident came right np lo 113 and addressed
the young (allies; ! made a sort of half j
bow.
" 'You don't recollect Mr. V said Miss
S . ' 1
" *1 recollect the name well,' replied the I'res- j
ident. ' x ou are well supported, Mr. ; you 11
have th" Army and .n'iiv v on each side of you.' j
"Ami tin* highest Oilieer of the Suite before 11
me, replied !, with a low bow. 'I ought indeed,
to feel proud. It makes amends for all the pri- 1
vntions that 1 underwent in my last campaign 1
with (ieneral Bolivar, and for the general ami
his aiilm-dr-rainp fared no belter than tiie mean- ' (

o answer with precision. A i ter ?i quarter of
in hour's ennwr.vtlm i. ?!mwhich tin.' whole
oinn were wondciing why it was that was so
nliinate with the President, and many were
rying to catch what was said, the President
(resuming, as Bolivar's uitlr-de-camp, that I
:ou)d give him information upon a certain point
ind not wishing to have the answer public,
said to the young ladics^J am going to do a
cry rude thing ; 1 wish to ask a question which
Mr. would not like to reply fo except in
drict confidence; I must take hi in away from
foil for a minute or two. 1 hrg 3-our pardon,
Mr. , hut I feci and shall he truly grateful
or the great saeiifice you will make in giving
ip such charming society.' 'I fear the loss
>vill only he on my part,' said f to the young
olios, as i druoned their arms and followed
lie President to a vacant spot near to ilie orchestra.
'i'he question which the President
ml to me was one which I couhUnot. well answer,
hut he helped me out of my difficulty hy
inswering it himself according to his own views
mid then appealing to me if he was not correct
I replied that 1 certainly was ?m at liberty, although
I had left the service of (iencral I'olivar
lo repeat all that I knew; 'fortunately,' continued
I, bowing.' where clear-sightedness is apnavent,
there is no occasion for the question
living answered.' 'You are right, Mr. ;
[ wish all those about me h:ul .your discretion
im! high sense ol" honor,' replied the President,
who had one ol* my new 1 trass buttons between
lis thumb and finger; 'and I perceive by your
reply, that I was also right in my conjecture.
[ am much obliged to you, and trust I shall see
par at Government House.' 1 bowed and retire"!.
"I am going abend now at all events, thought
1, as every one was looking as ! retreated. 1
and been walking arm-in-arm with the daughters
of the two first officers of the State, I had
lieen in confidential communication with the
President and that before all the rlilr of Washington.
I can now venture to order another
?uit of clothes, but never will 1 forget you, my
nld brown coat.
"The next day the tailor came to mo; lie
had hoard what hud taken place at the hall, and
I amended my wardrobe. I!very body came
to ine for order?, and 1 ordered every thing.
Cards were left in showers: and I was received
every where, the President was my friend, and
from that moment, I went ahead faster and
faster every day, till I am, as you now see, well
off, well married, and well up in the world.
"Now 1 do pertinaciously declare, that it was
(ill owing to the old brown coat; and 1 have
kept this cnf" which 1 show now and then to
my wife, to prove that I am grateful, for had it
not been for the old brown coat, I .should never
have been blessed with her for a companion."
"Put, ," said the wife, round whoso
waist lie had gentlv encircled Ids arms, "the
old brown co.it would have done nothing withnut
the velvet collar and new brass buttons.''
"Certainly not, my dear."
"And they would not have effected much
without they had been backed by "
