A BROTHER'S ADVICE .
BRO . J . H . JEWELL , P . M . ( AMHERST LODGE . ) EVER with fortune ' s bright sunshine around you . Think well of the hearts by adversity froze ;
Objects of pity may oftimes surround you , Aid them with comforts and banish their woes . The tempests of life are oft sad and appalling
, Trouble ' s rough seas oft engulphing the brave : Rush to the rescue when true hearts are falling , Ever be ready a confrere to save .
A Brother's Advice.
-Never through life turn your back on a brother , Whom tempests have batter'd and wreck'd on life ' s way ; Rather be trying his sorrows to smother , With prosperity ' s sun lend him one
