FRIGHTFUL SUFFERING ON LAKE
ERIE

ERIE.
1t will be remembered that the propeller
Jersey City was reported lost off Long Point,
Canada, in the great gale Of November "a,
while on her trip from Toledo to Buffalo
The details Of the dreadful shipwreck have,
however, only just been published. We ex~
tract some Of the particulars from the narra-
tive Of a survivor, published in the Cleave-
land Herald
"Soon after grounding the propeller keoled
over, broadside TO the seas, and with her deck
exposed to the action Of the waves. Her
deck load was at once washed off, and the re-
peated blows of the huge waves stove in her
decks and dashed her sides to pieces. The
hurricane deck, with her load Of half-frozen
sufferers floatod towards the shore, where it
grounded in shallow water, only short dis
lance from the shore, about two clock in
the afternoon. Capt. Monroe directed his
comrades where to leap so as to strike in the
shallowest water One by one the leap was
made in safety, until but one was left on
board, and that one was Mr.. A. II. Derby, the
clerk Of the propeller. lie was seen sitting
on the wreck with his head bent down as If
bent down in despair. Capt. Monroe called
him by name, but he did not answer. Capt.
Monroe and Engineers Manchester and Cum
mings went to .ho wreck, and after considera-
bic difficulty got off the helpless man. Capt.
NJ. took Derby on his back, whilst the engi-
nocrs steadied his legs so as to prevent the
waves from washing him Off In this way
the party waded through the water, ice MAX
ing on them at every step, the surf dashing
around them, the bitter winds freezing their
hands and faces, and the binding snow OBJ
securing their view. On reaching the shore

there is the same value to that that there is
in living and if your oxen and carts, and
food and clothes, and all that you call neces-

in life, and life has no value except enjoyment
then this statuettc is a short cut to the great
thing for which your farm and everything
else is designed. You do not enjoy your
cart for what it is, but because Of its use TO
get food and clothos-and food and clothes
We value for the enjoyment they give. But
statuette or a picture, or any beautiful
thing, gives enjoyment at once. We enjoy il
the moment we see it-for itself and not for
any use we mean to make Of it. So that

because they go about with spruce "dont-

Broadway, with that dead shoe blacking look
which hair dye gives. Nobody is deceived,
but the quantity Of that forlorn swndle sold

case in one hand and the watch in the other.
Now, children, which is the watch; You

Very well again. Now ! will lay the case

let us see if you can hear the watch ticking.
Yes, sir, we hear it; exclaimed several
voices
We'll, the watch can tick and go, and keep
time you see, when the case is taken off and
put in my hat. The watch goes just we'll.
So it is with you, children. Your body is

Count what Why count the mcrcics that
have been quietly falling in your path through
every period of your history. Down they
come, every morning and every evening, as
angel messengers from the Father of light to
tell You Of your best friend in heaven Have
you lived these years wasting mercics, tread
ing them under your feet, and consuming them
every day, and never yet realized from whence
they came Do you ask what are these mey-

propriety of stopping to play with thorn

acter is such, that if he cannot improve he
may pass among them without injury.
