JOHN BIGGS, TIE ESSEX FARMER


JOHN BIGGS, TIE ESSEX FARMER.
Who is John Biggsl What has he donel
John Biggs, in twelve years. has saved more
men, women, and children, from destruction.
than any fireman or waterman now alive
lie has not rushed into the Sorpentine with
the S0ciety's drdgs, saving the suicidal and
receiving the Society's medal. lie has not,
helmet on head and hose in hand, mounted
the fiery roofs, and rescued thorefrom trem-
bling creatures, whom the spectators pray
ed for, and begged him to adventure for, re-
c%eiving for his effort many praises and some
|reconpcnse. All praise to those who rescue
from ere aud water, they deserve as much as
they get, and more. Bat he is not one of
them.
John Blggs does not, amid shouts ofpraise,
save men and women and children from des-
%truclion he ddres TO do so amid the frowns
and sneers Of the onlookers. Creatures who
are neither in danger of drowning or burning,
but to whom it would be mercy to drown or
burn them, rather than condemn them to the
miserable end from which he rescues them,
are the objects Of his benevoIence and cour-
age. lie saves them from Botany Bay and
Norfolk Island, and from the terrible passa-
ges of crime leading thereto. John Biggs is
a competitor with John ketch. What ketch
would kill, farmer Briggs saves. Ii ketch
