EE" The Cleveland Plain Dcoler has the
following truthful remarks, which we clip from
its columns, and commend to the considera-
ton of our readers.
"That we have in community so much Of
poverty, is owing primarily to ignorance. 1t
is the father of crime--it fills our poor houses
and jails-it brings distress upon women and
helpl children--it makes more drunkards
than all the dealers in alcohol combined The
best temperance crusade is to preach educa.
tion-force it, if necessary, upon the ragged
youngsters to be met everywhere. Were halt
the attention given to the cause of forcing mer
to quit drinking, bestowed in obging their OFF
spring to attend our free schools, thousand
fold greater benefit would be the result, Ed
ucate the masses. and society will construct
itself"

WCOmC this Way, Father"

During visit to the seashore, few years
since, with party of friends, it was proposed
one bright afternoon, that we should make up
party and 90 down the harbor on fishing
excursion, We accordingly started, and after
sailing about three miles, young lady of the
company declined going any further, and re-
quested us to land her on one OF the small is-
lands in the harbor, where she proposed to
stay till our return. My little boy then about
four years old, preferred remaining with her.
Accordingly we left them, and proceeded some
six miles further. We remained out much
longer than we intended. and as night ap-
preached, thick fog set in from the sea, en-
tirely enshrouding u.s. Without compass and
not knowing the right direction to steer, we
CROPPED our way along for some hours, till f.
nally, we distinguished the breaking of the
surf on the rocks Of one of the Islands, but
were at a loss to know which one of them. I
stood up in the stern of the boat, where had
been steering, and shouted with all my
strength. | listened a moment and heard
through the thick fog, and above the breaking
of the surf the sweet voice Of my boy, calling :
"Come this way, father!-steer straight for
me--I'm here waiting for youl'
We steered by that sound, and soon my
little boy eaped to my arms with JOY saying:
81 knew you would hear me, father!" and
nestled to sleep in my bosom.
The child and maiden are both sleeping
now They died in two short weeks after tho
period l refer to. with hardly an interval of
time between their two deaths. Now, tossed
on the rough sea of life, without compass or
guide, enveoped in fog, and surrounded by
rocks, seem to hear the sound of thai cherub
voice, calling from the bright shore:
"Come this way, father steer straight for
mel"
When oppressed with sadness, take my
way to our q uiet cemetery; still, as stand
by one little mound, the same musical voice
echoes from thence; "Come this way, father !
Pm waiting for youp'

Engine Company No. |,

Paraded on the 4th inst This company is
composed Of our best citizens. They manifest
a laudable spirit of enterprise, and receive, as
they deserve, the countenance and approba-
ton Of our citizens generally Their machine
is beautiful one, and together with the hose
and pipe have thus far been kept in admira-
BILE condition. Under the efficient manage
ment of their officers, they will soon compare
favorably with city companies in appearance
and discipline. Sandusky Co. Democrat.
The truth of the assertion that "under the
efficient management of the officers of the
above named company, they will soon compare
favorably with city companies" was very sat
isfactorily demonstrated, on Saturday morning
last. In a very teso minutes after the alarm
was given that board kiln was on fire, this
company had their fire engine over the river,
and the fire entirely extinguished We do
not know exactly how long it was from the
time the engine was taken from the engine
house until it was in efficient operation, but
we do know that we have seen well disciplin-
ed companies in cities, do but little better on
such occasions.
We, as citizen of Fremont, are proud ot
Engine Company No. l."
