GENEROUS "A party of five young Irish
women, on their way to Honesyille, Pennsyl-
vania, were, on presenting their railroad fare,
found to have been imposed upon by some
scoundrel, who had passed off upon them SIS
of counterfeit money. 1t was every farthing
they had T; and they were about being left,
when company Of Sullivan county lumber
men intcrposed, and generously contributed
Sl5 Of good money to the unfortunate strafi-
gers. Such evidence of true nobility is highly
creditable to the noble-hearted back oodsman.

from Mr.. John Taylor, the President of the
Newark Bank, have been recovered, and were

DIV OLIVER oGLEruoaPE, L. L. d. ..
Quick man the life-boat see yon bark:
She drives before the wind
The rock IS G.Sead--and loud aud dark
The raging storm behind:
No human power in such an hour.
Can avert the doom that's DER her;
See her mainmast gone, and she still drives on
To the yawnng gulf before her,
The life-boat, man the life boat
Quick man the lifo-boat hark-the gun,
That thunders through the air;
'And see the signal flag flies on,
The emblem Of despair;
That iorkcd flash, that pealing crash,
Seemed from the wave TO sweep her;
IIa the ship has struck--she's upon the rock
And the wall comes louder and deeper.
The life boat man the life boat
Quick! man the life boat. see the crew
Gaze on their watery grave,
Already some, gallant few,
Are battling with the wave;
And one there stands, and wrngs his hands,
As thoughts of home come o'er him;
For his wife and child, through the tempest wild
He sees on the heights before him.
The life boat! man the life-boat!
Speed, speed the life boat off she goes,
And as they pulled the oar,
From shore and ship shout arose,
That startled ship and shore:
Liiesaving ark {! yon doomed bark
Has immortal souls within her;
More than gems or gold, is the wealth untold
Thou'lt save if thou cdn'st but win her.
The boat ! speed the life boat
Hurrah the life boat dashes on
The .1Iiddens darkly frown;
The rock is there-the ship is gone,
| Full twenty fathoms down;
But desperate men, when battling then,
With the pillows single handed
They're all in the boat hurra they're ahoat-
And now they arc safely landed.
Hurrah hurrah for the life boat
