Poetry.

Poetry .

BROTHERHOOD . AVhy iu this northern clime of ours , Blest with the message angels might proclaim , Ave men so tardy , through the fleeting hours , To recognise the universal name That stamps nobility on kindred blood ,

Since the earth is but one grand Brotherhood ? Shem , Hani , and Japbet—who are they , But brothers of one sire ? with hopes the same Each with Heaven ' s mission sent upon his way , And heaving each a common father's name ; And all their races , black and white , are good , Since they are children of one Brotherhood .

Poetry.

Though some luxuriate in lands That teem with nature ' s blessings , and her smile ; And others barren soil sow with their hands Amid bleak wastes , that often hopes beguile ; Man ' s mortal fabric craves alike for food , And life is sweet , throughout earth ' s Brotherhood .

Were half the wealth that ' s blindly spent In foolish ways , to pamper pride and ease , To suffering mankind in their sorrow sent , ( A blessing on it sisk'd on bended knees ) This world of ours would not be half so rude , But higher stand in its grand Brotherhood .

Are there not desolate dark homes ? And hearths ivhose shadows gloom man ' s God-like face ; And spectres of the brain that grope like gnomes Through the lorn dreary depths of empty space ; Ah ! men , my brothers , ivhile such grimly brood , Few comfort bring to prove earth's Brotherhood . Lone widows mourn , and orphans weep ,

And fierce , wild wails are wafted up to heaven , AVhile there upon the field of carnage sleep The braVe protectors from their loved ones riven ; If thou hast ' midst such scenes of havock stood , Has earth not glared as hell , more than a Brotherhood . 'Tis passion makes to seethe this sea of woe ,

But Love's broad wings are ever o'er ns spread ; And there are those who love on us bestow ; And gentle ones to soothe our aching head ; Yet with the world the thoughts are vague and crude , That men belong to one grand Brotherhood . Be ready with your heart and hand ,

AA'hene'er a needy brother pleads for aid , And prove your mission in whatever land Your lot is cast , that none may you upbraid , ; A kindly word , or deed , or crumb of food ,

Will prove thou art of earth ' s grand Brotherhood . W . E . HINTON . MlDDEESBKO ' .

The Bond Of Brotherhood.

THE BOND OF BROTHERHOOD .

Ours are the ample views , that , unconfined , Stretch to tbe utmost walks of human kind . Ours the spirit that , with widest plan ; Brother to brother hinds , and man to man . AVhen tbe first vanities of life ' s brief day Oblivion ' s hurrying wing shall sweep away , Eaeb act by charity and mercy done ,

High o ' er tbe wrecks of time , shall live alone , Immortal as the heavens , and beauteous bloom In other worlds and realms beyond tbe tomb .
