Fire and Loss of Life.

Atabout four o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing, (5th) the large two story dwelling house
belonging to Mr.. Jones Dyer, was discovered
to be on fire, in the l. part which connected
the house and the stable. The house was oc-
cupied by three families, Mr. Columbus
Cooper's, J. J. Ames', and the widow Green.
law and her two daughters. Mrs Cooper had
been confined but day or two before, and
of Doctor Porter where she lies in very
critical state, from the fright Mrs Ames
caught up her child and ran forty or fifty rods,
in her night clothes. A little girl whom she
had taken to bring up, and who slept in the
next room to Mrs. A, on the alarm, got up,
dressed herself, and attempted to make her
way down stairs, but was overcome by the
smoke with which the house was so densely
filled and suffocated, and when found she
was lifeless, and all attempts to resusitate her
proved abortive. Another young girl, sister
of Mrs Cooper, was overlooked in the hurry.
and when found was suffocated to insensibli-
ty, lying on the floor, and little dog belong
ing to the family was lying across her face
dead, which it is supposed was the means of
preventing her from being suffocated. By
the timely and skilful aid of DR.. Porter, she
was brought to, and is doing we'll. Mr..
Cooper had six horses and COW burnt in the
stable, together with all his hay, carriages,
sleighs, harnesses, &c. His loss is estimated
at from $500 to $4,000. No insurance
The house and stable was insured $4,000, at
the Thomaston Mutual Fire Insurance Office.
Mr.. Cooper's hostler, we are sorry to learn,
lost 5000 in cash and gold watch. The fire
is said to have originated from come ashes that
had been thrown out upon some shavings
which were under the shed. We learn that
the widow Greenlaw and her daughters lose
all their wearing apparel Calais Ado.

Rose Standish.


They who have seen Wers picture of the
embarkation of the Pilgrims, exhibited within
u few years in some parts ofNew Englnnd'wIll
remember the beautiful countenance OF Rose,
the wife of Capt. Miles Standsh. They be-
long to that intrepid band of Puritnns who left
England for conscience sake and after rest
ing awhile in Holland, came to America in
the Maylowe and commenced the first set
Element of New England,
"And left unstained what there they found,
"FreCdom to aoOrship God"
This little colony landed at Plymouth, in
Massachusetts,, Dec. god, 1920. Among the
first victims to the hardships they experienced
from cold, famine and want of shelter on an
nhosptable cost, was the beautiful Rose Stan
dish. She died in January. Her husband is
we'll known as the military champion ofthe in.
FAINT colony.
The following lines, commemorative of
these incidents, are touching and beautiful.
The ROSE sing sprung from no earthly mould,
Nor drank the sunbenms or the falling dew
It bore no thorns, and in its bosoms fold
No lurking worm or eating canker grew.
Soft were its hues-'twas loves, twas beauty s
own,
The favorite of the hall, the field, the bower;
| A Rose in which radiant spirit shone-
Not the fruil queen of thorn, and leaf, and
flower.
A graft it was from Sharon's beauteous Rose,
Nursed with the gcntlest dews ofPulestine
| A mind, heart, glory, reposc,
Beumed from its depth, and showed the root
divine.

So oaks grow strong while wrestling with the

So glows the molten silver in the fame.

| And filled with sweetness all the winds a.

The Rose of beauty to his bosom bound.

Beneath the banner "GOd 1oiM as" reclne

There in its embryo lay New England S vine
Behold the group the parting pang is past
They launched their lonely fortunes ON the

Back to the land the souls last letters cast,
And with the free winds join their anthems

Freedom, the bible, virtue, faith and prayer
Embarked with :hem and daily state besides
While unseen angels strengthened them to

And God 5 own finger was their wonderouf

Moral Readings,
"IIe Doeth all Things Well"

We heard beautiful girl singing, not long
since, and the burden of her song was in these
words Az the harmony of purcst music is
sued from the lips and struck upon the delight
ed car, the thoughts came also of future years
-oflife's changes, of calamntes, Of misfor-
tunes, of joys, of pleasures, the sunshine of
happiness, of all the vicissitudcs of our years
on earth. For in life's pilgrimage there are
many dark and dangerous passages many ra-
vines of sorrow; many adjustments OF cares
and pains; many lovely abodes OF temptationsj
many hostels to sin and evil but through all
the darkness, and danger, and Jorrow-through
cares, temptations and sin, there are still for
"life's voyger" the cheering words, SHE doeth
all things WE'LL
Many doubts are ever lingering about the
mind, many unbelieving thoughts, many hnr-
RAISING suspicious, many questionings OF the
goodness of Providence, many fearful appre-
tensions of coming evils, many tnmperlngs
with the Temper; but to the doubling, to the
disbelieving, to the almost responding, there
is an end to all doubts, all disbelief, in the
thought of sure guide, a firm protector, an
ever watchful friend, whose habtation is in
fnity-whosc life is eternity-"who doeth all
things we'll"
An aged man lay on his death bcd-more
than the allotted .tthree score and ten " years
had been his on eurth--his head was white
with the houriness of time; his eyes obscured
by the film of many days; his old limbs racked
by pain his whole body agonizing under the
pangs of coming dissolution. But smile was
on his face--a triumphant light on his brow
and he was ready at the brink of Deaths Jor-
dan, murmuring lowly but gladly, the words
t'He doeth all things we'll.
Rejoice, then old man, for eternal rejocings
are to be thine. Thy pilgrimage here has
been long, and even cnvroned with danger
thy feet are now weary from The way bu'
they shall stand on lions Hill ere long; anc
happiness shall be thine, though thy days OF
earth are numbered, and thy lamp of life Is
going out; for thou has fought good fight
thou hast borne onward the bnnnerj thou has
not needed the scott and the reprooch tho'
hast been ever watchful-thy lance is no"
pointless, thy sword blunted, thy breast plate
broken, thy shield pierced with many blows
but thy battle is over, and as thou hast LIVED
so shalt thou die, still believing that ''He do
eth all things we'll
And happy will be thy lot, fair SongstresS
fortunate thy life, if amidst the darkness OF III
course--in suffering or in joy-the day neve
comes when the exclamation of thy heart, 81
of thy tongue, shall cease to be that last lint
of thy poets verse. Flowers now bloom
round thy path, friends are smiling, joys arr
gathering on thy way, beauty claims thee
pleasure calls, the allurements of the Give
are all spread out on the green sward OF tn.
young life but hope on, trust on, since ther
is a Guardian-there is a Helper-there is al
ever watchful Protector-there is One, "ove

Family Worship.

We commend to our readers the following
extract from a discourse on family worship, by
the Rev. ]. II. Merle DAubigne, author OF
the history of the Reformation. 1t s taken
from a volume Of discourscs and essays, re-
Gently published
Parents if your children do not meet with
a spirit of piety in your houses, II, on the con-
trary, your pride consists in surrounding them
with external gifts, introducing them into
worldly society ndulging their whims, letting
them follow their own course, you will see them
BEGIN to grow proud and vain, idle and DISC
bedcnt, impudent and eytrnvngant. They
will treat you with contempt and the more
your hearts are wrapped up in them, the less
they will think of you. This is seen but too
often TO be the case but ask yourselves II you
are not responsible for their bad habits and
practices and your consciences will reply
that you are; that you are now eating the Bread
of bitterness which you prepared for your
selves. May you learn thereby how great is
your sin before God, in neglecting the means
which were in your power for influencing
their hearts, and may they take warning from
your misfortune, and bring up their children
in the Lord. Nothing is more effectunl in
doing this than an example of domestic piety
Public worship is often too vague and general
for children, and does not sufficiently interest
them as to the worship of the closet, they do
not understand it. A lesson learnt by rote, if
'unaccompanied by anything else, may lead
them to look upon religion as study, like
those of foreign languages or history. Here,
as everywhere, and more than elsewhere, ex-
ample is more effectual than precept. They
are not merely to be taught out of some ele-
mentary book that they must love God, but
you must show them that God is loved. If
they observe, that no worship is paid to the
God of whom they hear, the very best instruc-
ton will prove useless: by means offamily wor-
ship, these young plants will grow like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth
forth his fruit in season his leaf also, shall
not wither" Your children may leave the pa
rental roof but they will remember in for
eign lands the prayers of that parental roof, and
those prayers will protect them.

BroaOn's SarsaparalG and Tomato BitterS.-
The extensive sale ofthese popular Bitters is
the best evidence of their excellence. No 9TH
medicine approved by the Faculty has had
so successful run within so short a period
They are entirely composed of vegetables, and
are the most innocent and eflcacious of any
corrective yet offered to the afflicted. In our
opinion these Bitters are one of the best COM
pounds yet offered for the cure of dyspepsia,
and the long train of nervous diseases. For
sale by Frederick Brown, corner of State and
Washington street.
The above is only printed as a proof of the
high estimation in which Browns Bitters are
held by every one that has seen or experience
cd their wonderful virtues
There is one thing that should always be
thought of; that is, be sure and get the genu-
inc. Always ask for Browns, as that is the
only original article of Sarsapurila and Toma-
to.
