HE UP NEARER, BROTHER.
Tha Jcw England Diadm, a msRstlne
published many jreats ajjo, gave its readers
the fullnning beautiful stanias, which Were
suggested by hearing read an extract of a
letter from CapUIn Chase, giving; an ac
count of the sickness and death of his bnilh-er-in-latv,
Mr. Brown Owen, who died on
his passage to California. The poem deserves
rescue from oblivion by republication I
Lie up nearer, brother, nearer,
Fur my limbs are growing cold,
And thy presence aeeinelh dearer,
When thy anna amund m fold ;
lam living, brother, dying,
Soon you'll miss rne In your berth,
For my arm will soon bo lying
'rieath the ocean's briny surf.
Hearken to me, brother, hearken,
t have something I would say,
Ere, the Veil my vision darken
And I go from hence away.
I am tt'ilng, surely going.
But my hope In God Is strong,
I am willing, brother, knowing
That He doelh hothlbg wrong.
Tell my father when you greet him,
That in death I prayed for him,
Prayed that I may one day meet him,
In a world that's free from tin
Tell my mother (God assist bar
Now that she is growing old),
Tell, her child would glad have kissed
her,
When his lips grew palo and cold.
Listen, brntlier, oalch each whisper,
'Tis my wife I'd speak of now.
Tell, oh, tell hr, hhw'I missed her,
When the fever burnt my brow;
Tell her, brother, closely listen,
Don't forget a single Word,
That in death my eyes dltl gllslen
With the tears her memory stirred.
Tell her she must kiss my children,
Like the kiss t last Impressed,
Hold them as when Inst I held them,
Folded closely to my breast ;
Give them early to their Maker,
Putting all her trust in God,
And He never will forsake her,
For He said so In His Word.
Oh, my children I Heaven Mess them 1
They were all my lifo to me ;
Would I could once more caress them,
Ere I sink beneath the sen ;
'Twas for them I crossed tbe orein,
What my hopes were I'll not tell,
But I have calned an orphan's portion,
Yet be doelh all things well.
Tell my sitters I remember
Every kindly parting word,
And my heart has been kept tender,
At the thoughts their mem'ry stirred j
Toll them I ne'er reached the haven
Where I Bought the "precious dtisl,"
But I have galneil-i port railed Heaven,
Where (ho gold will never rust.
Urge them lo secure an entrance,
Fur they'll fiud their brother there;
Foilh in Jesus and repentance
Will serum for each a sharo
Hark 1 I hoar my Savior speaking,
'Ti, I know his voice so well,
When I am gone, oh, don't be weeping,
Brother, here's my last farewell.
THE EMERALD HUB.
In one of the splendid palaces of tba
Russian capital a fair yonrjg girl threw
herself upon tbo crimson cushions of tbe
divan in the embrasure of a large win
dow. Alarm and nnxletv were depicted
on ber features, and she constantly clasp
ed and unclasped her .small bands, and
nervously arose and looked out into the
street, and then resented herself as if
awaitinR some painful intelligence. It
was tbe fair young Natalie Radetski, Ibe
beanty of the Russian Court, upon whom
nature and fortune had showered every
gift, and for whom even tbe stern features
of the Emperor Nicholas would relax in
to something like a smile as be looked
upon her beanty and grace,
Htatily tbe door opened and n young
man advanced toward ber.
"I am to bid you farewell, Nalalie," be
said, in a voice broken by emotion.
"Ob, Alexis, what is ll?" cried tbe
young girl.
"I have displeased tbe Emperor, and
he lias ordered my arrest."
"Tbe Emperor will pardon jou I will
go to blm." said she. "He will not re
fuse me. He has always been so kind to
me."
"Alaa! my Natalie, he will refnse you
this. The Emperorbelievea ine concern
ed in a conapiraey.nndbe never fnrelvrs.
I know not what is to be done with me;
but if I am sent to Siberia "
"To Biberial Ob, Alexis! It cannot be
it ennnnt beP
For a moment neither spnge. At length
with a powerful effort at self-control, the
young man said: "Natalie, let me place
this rinc upon your finger, and promise
ma that yon will wear it always in mem
ory of what my love has been to you.
The Emperor will force yon lo marry. I
do not wish tbe thought of me to make
you always wretched."
"He plaoed upon ber fingrr a ring in
whioh was a single emerald of great bril
liancy, "Do not lake It off norread the Inscrip
tion nntil yon hear certainly tbut I have
bean banished."
Ha clasped her convulsively to his
breast, kissed ber brow and llpa.and lay
ing ber gently upon tbe divan, passed
out. Iu tbe street Ibe guards awaited
him.
The words of her lover did not deter
Nn'alle from attempting to save him. She
sent a petition to the Emperor.imploring
an interview; but it was denied ber. Hbe
waylaid the Empress.
"My poor child," said the Emprrfs,
kindly, "I would gladly take you to the
Emperor, even at the risk of incurring
bU di pleasure; but it i too late. Alexia
Potemkin has been sent to Siberia for
life."
Natalia beard her not,
"Lift her up," said the Empress, "she
has fainted."
But Natalie had not fainted. Slowly,
but resnlntely aba rose, and, making a
gesture of respectful submission to the
Empress, begged learo to rvtlrts
$1.00
When Natalie reached her own npsit
ment she drew frttn her finR the ring
that Alexis had placed upon it, and rend
tbe inscription carved upon the inside in
French ; "Death is the only consoler," it
said, "Wo shall meet In heavcrT'
Among tbe condemned in a glare quick-
silvi r mine in tbe Vi ry heart of the conn
try, thousands of vctals from St. Peters.
bnrg, stooped at bis dally toil a .form
whose tall and noblo proportions even
bis coarse habit scarcely shrouded. The
same unearthly poller was on his coun
tenance an upon that of every toiler In
these fearful region's but bis eyes hbone
with extraordinary brilliancy. Every
now and then for a moment, as if in prny
or.au d his thin bands wrre clasped tight
ly to his hrenst, while bo murmured tbe
name of Natnlle. He had but one hope
death, tbe corsoler, wonld soon come.
His delicate frnme, unused to labor and
exposed to the rtgnrofau Arctic climate,
soon yielded to the unhealtbiness ol his
occupation and he was f.st sinking under
his (rials. Yes, dratb would come.gentle
death and bis hmrt leaped with mo
mentary joy. Tbe brutal overseer might
curse, and his lash might cut deeply into
the delicate flesh, but death would come
at last and wltb It consolation.
The struggle was not long. A few days
of confinement to a hard pallet; a few
nights of suffering, and the fiat which
even an imperial decree conltl bot stop
went forth. The victim was released.
Three months after this the Grand
Chamberlain of Rtlexlft presented himself
before Mademoiselle Radetski and sum
moned ber to tbe presence of tbe Emperor.
When conducted to tbe palace bis Maj
esty dismissed tbe geutlemen in waiting,
and signed ber to npproacb. His stern
features were contracted by an expression
of deep displeasure,
"Wby does Madsmolsells Radetski
wear mourning?" he said. "Does she
monrn for conspirators who would sub
vert the Government and bring destruc
tion upon their oonntrj?"
"No, site," she answered, "I wear
mourning for one whom your Majesty
Baw fit to condemn. but to whom, by your
express command, I promised my band,"
"We will not discuss tbe past," replied
I ho Czar, coldly. "I have sent for you
for a different purpose. I have chosen a
husband for you."
"Mercy, sire!'' exclaimed Natalie im
ploringly clnaping hir hands. "Do not
force me to marry."
"Force, mademoiselle, that is an ugly
word. I, your Emperor, recommend
your acceptance of tbe suit of a young
Doblemau Of high rank. There are rea
sons of state which make me expressly
desire this marriage. And, Natalie," be
