    The compiler remembers well, in the spring of 1848, Mrs. Brown's patience in suffering, when she quoted from Job, "All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come." This hightly esteemed and beloved wife and mother was a Christian woman, a loving friend and neighbor, whose voice was often heard in the Old Miner Meeting-house before 1845, when, in the summer of that year, it was torn down and a new house erected on the same lot. The old house was the scene of many revivals and large gatherings to the church, in which this good woman, a saint of God, by her spiritual gifts, had an active part. The homestead, beautiful for situation, should be rebuilt, and the grandchildren come back from the cold Northwest and make glad these hills and valleys as in days gone by.

MEMORIES
by Mrs. Hosmer A. Brown
    I'm sitting to night in my prarie home, And the pruple twilight flings Its dusky folds round the sadden'd soul Where memory sits, and sings. Of the days of my sunny-hearted youth, That passed on downy wings.
    She brings me dreams of my far off home; The tree close up by the door; I bend my ear to catch the sound Of the waterfall's muffled roar; And watch, where the lilies at anchor tide, For the slip of the flashing oar.
    I forget that beneath the homestead roof Stranger voices the echoes awake. 'T is a dream -- the loved and the lost are there, With heart too full to speak, Again I kiss the lines of care On brow and furrowed cheak.
    My brother, with his golden hair Swept back from a brow like light; How plain, across the mists of years, He rises to my sight! His lips still wear their olden smile, His eye is sunny light.
    One night his feet grew weary, He closed his earnest eyes; And when morning walked the hilltops He was singing in Paradise, And echoes roll round my haunted soul From out the starry skies.
    And one -- Oh! softly speak her name, And reverently, and low; She walks upon eternal hills Where stainless lilies blow; But just within the pearly gates She waits for me, I know.
    Her saintly face shines on me still Through the twilight calm and clear; I bend my ear to the sighing wind, Her voice I seem to hear; It whispers "Peace" to my waiting soul, And I know that she is near.
    Ah well, I shall meet them all again When I reach that shore unknown, With its wondrous city, pearly gates, And everlasting throne.
