HERoIsM AN instance of great he
roism on the part of a young man, Caps
tain William jackson, is related in the
Newfoundland papers as having occurred
at Labrador during the violent hurricane
Of October 9th last. So extraordinary is
the story that were 1t not vouched for by
the best authority it would appear incred-
ible. A vessel called the Sea Slipper had
struck on reef near place called Spot
ted Islands, Labrador, at which were no
residents. This young man, Captain
Jackman, being providentially in the
neighborhood, witnessed the vessels stri-
king, saw her fall asunder, with num-
Der Of persons on her deck and rigging
twenty.seven, as it afterwards appeared.
To save some Of these poor creatures, Mr..
Jackman cast himself into the sea and
swan to the wreck, distance a hundred
fathoms or more from the shore. The
hurricane at this time was at it's hight,
accompanied by snow. Eleven times did
this heroic man swim between ship and
shore, each time bringing man from the
wreck and placing him in safety. BY
this time persons from a neighboring set,
tlenent had arrived with ropes Sixteen
trips more did the noble sailor make, con-
Quoting all the survivors in safety to the
shore. 1t seldom falls to our lot to relate
more heroic conduct Captain Jackman
is said to be as modest as he is brave, and
when spoken to on the subject will not
allow that he did anything more than his
duty. Application is to be made on his
behalf, by the magistrate of the district,
to the Royal Humane Society for its gold
medal, which will undoubtedly be prompts
ly granted.

Social CONDITION OF ENGLAND.-At
this time there is no country, no matter
how embarrassed nor how poor, in which
there is so much pressing and painful
poverty, so much vice, so much misery,
SIS in England. We have failed with our
lower classes to such an extent that in
the country we find some of them working
like cattle, fed and housed worse than
than cattle, while in the towns we do not
know what to do with them until they
are ripe for dropping into the ,eethlng
pool of vice and crime. With all our
wealth, and England is wealthy country.
we have not succeeded in distributing hap
piness or content in the proportion of
which we could be proud. We find
masscd against us gloomy and threaten
ing spirit Of insubordination, and gath.
erirg of ominous elements from which
voices are heard, that having broken down
in our task we should give it up to those
who will change all things. Criticism is
no longer function limited to one class
Our future masters begin to take stock
and value of us. In that social life in
which most of us are concerned, which
may be placed above the reach of sordid
wants, can we congratulate ourselves up
on distinct advances Around US on all
sides we learn of families living upon fc-
tihous incomes, we find q rate of increase
in the taste for luxuries 50 incommensu4

recklessness which brings ruin upon
them. Comfort is a word the meaning

BE Your Own RIGHT HAND MAN.
People who have been bolstered up and
lcvered all their lives are seldom good for
anything in crisis. When misfortune
comes, they look around for something to
cling to or lean upon. If ythe prop Is not
there down they go. Once down, they
are as helpless as capsized turtles, or un-
hor,ed men in armor, and cannot find
their feet again without assistance. Such
sikcn fellows no more resemble self-made
men, who have fought their way to posi-
tion, making difficulties their stepping
stones, and deriving determination from
defeat, than vines resemble oaks, or
sputtering rushlights the stars of heaven.
Efforts persisted IN to achievements train
man TO self-reliance, and when he has
proved to the world that he can trust him
self, the world will trust him. We say,
therefore, that it is unwise to deprive
young men of the advantages which re-
suit from their energetic action, by
boosting" them over obstacles which
they ought to surmount alone.

A VETERAN INDEED. Truth is often
stranger than fiction, and history often
more romantic than romance. That an
individual who has led peaceful life has
reached his 102d birthday is noted as
something extraordinary, but it Is almost
without parallel for soldier to attain
that age, especially one who for twenty
five years bore arms in the greatest war
which convulsed Europe, or in wilder
African forays, and was left as one of
them among the dead Of a battlefield fifty
eight years ago The veteran to which
these remarks refer celebrated his 102d
birthday on the 9th ult., at the house Of
Gen. De Peyster, No. SO East Twenty,
first-street, in New York City, amid a
number of officers who rose to high CONS
mands in suppressing our Southern rebel
lion, and were yet unborn when the ma
jority of the celebrities whom Capt. Fred
eric Lahrbush obeyed or encountered were
already dead, or dead to the public
When he was born Frederic the Great
had just closed in triumph the Seven
Years War, which elevated Prussia to a
first rate Power. When he was ten years
old the thirteen American colonies de-
clared their Independence, and when he
was fifteen secured it, When he was
twenty the Kingdom of Poland (Which
had more than once saved Europe from
barbarism) lost its independence 9year,
later its existence. AT the age oftwenty-
three he took up arms against the French,
whom he lived to see acknowledge fifteer
different and successive forms Of govern
ment. For twenty two years he fought
against France, twice commanded por'
tion of the guard over Napoleon at St
Helena, was engaged in numerous con
ficts in Africa and served in, lived in Oh
visited every continent and almost every
sea. His memory is perfect, as wa
tested by different officers, one or thu
other of whom had served or Travelled
like him, in all quarters of the globe
Remarkable in his adventurous life, he il
still more wonderful in having been abl'
to take daily for many years dose of II
grains of opium, or half a pint of laudan
um MS II substitute, and on one occasion
$50 grains of tho former.
