Brave John Maynard.


John was well known as a sturdy, intelli-
gent and God-fearing pilot, on Lake Erie.
He had charge of steamer from Detroit to
Buffalo, one summer afternoon. At that
time those steamers seldom carried boats.
Smoke was seen ascending from below, aud
the captain called out
Simpson, 60 down and see what that
smoke is"
Simpson came up with his face as pale as
ashes, and said
Captain, " the ship is on fire :"
Fire fire fire fire ~ instantly resounded
in all directions.
All hands were called up. Buckets OF
water were dashed upon the flames, but in
vain. There were large quantities of resin
and tar on board, and it was useless to try to
save the ship. The passengers rushed for.
ward, and inquired of the pilot,
How far are we from land ?'
Seven miles"
How long before we reach it p
Three quarters Of an hour, at our present
rate of steam"
Is there any dauger} }'
" Danger enough here--see the smoke
bursting out 60 toncard, if you would save
your lives !"
Passengers aud crew. men, women, and
children, crowded to the forward part of the
ship. John Maynard stood at his post. The
flames burst forth in a sheet of fire; clouds
of smoke arose. the captain cried out through
his trumpet, f" John Maynard
Z" Ay, aye, sir !" responded the brave tar.
How does she head P'
Southeast by east sir
Head her southeast and run her on
shore"
Nearer, yet nearer, she approached the
shore.
Again the captain cried out ." John May
nard" The response came ieeby, Ay, aye,
sir !"
Can you hold on five minutes longer
John ?"
"By Gods help will -
The old mans hair was scorched from the
scalp; one hand was disabled, and his teeth
were set, yet he stood firm as a rock. lie
beached the ship-every man, woman and
child was saved, as John Maynard dropped
overheard, and his spirit took its flight to his

MAITING FnR LEE nrsnANp.

We have recently been made acquainted
with one Of the saddest, and at the same time
one of the most singular cases that it has ev-
er been our duty to chronicle When the
war commenced there lived on Vine street an
honest, industrious German family, who sup
ported themselves by keeping notion store.
When Sumpter was fired on, the husband at
once enlisted in the army as a private, and by
his distinguished ability and bravery was soon
promoted to the command of his company.
Not once had he been home since the war be-
gan At last he wrote to his wife that he
had received a leave Of absence" and
would certainly be home on the following
Thursday, aud he wanted her to meet him at
he train.
The next day, instead Of starting for home
the battle of Gettysburg was fought, and he
was among the slain. The news Of his death
came, and since that time the devoted wife
has been crazy, and still expects her husband
on the train, and by day and night-in all
kinds of weather-stands in the middle ol
the crossing in front of her house, looking IN
every direction for the approach OF him whc
will never come again.
Often she will call on the Mayor and Other
city authorities to have officers detailed to 6
and watch that train" to see if her hus
band is not coming, This strange conduct
has lasted for almost six years, and the gric
and troubles of the poor woman have been 81
great that she has turned prematurely gray
and although under thirty years Of age, ha
the appearance of a very old person.--Ca
eianah Times.

was for a moment warmer from the heat Of
my finger, and some Of the moisture remained
on it when took it off; and besides, it was
no longer yapor, but water An these things
have great deal to do with the figure that
the frost sketches on the window pane"
This talk was getting little prosy to
Charley who couldn't understand it alto
gether
Papa, said he, gazing out Of the window,
" is snow ever any color but white ?"
Yes | have heard of red snow"
Red snow !" exclaimed both boys in
breath
The people call it red snow but it is
really white, with red vegetable matter in il.
Some men, who have studied the subject, say,
on the other hand, that there are little red
animals, a single one Of which is scarcely dis
cerniblo without a microscope, which lall with
the snow, and give il its red appearance
How ! would Ike TO fire red snow ball
at Jim Lane for hitting me with a white one
yesterday" exclaimed Charley who was in
cliued to turn his discovery to some account
Tut! tut" said his father reprovingly
Is snow Of any use, papa 1t makes
good sleighing, and is splendid to SNOWFALL
with but Of what value is snow aside from
the fun it gives ?"
"lt is of great deal of use johnny
Cold weather would be almost intolcrable if
it were not for snow aud ice"
O papa you do not mean that it would
be colder without snow than with it2'
yes; mean that There is reason for
it, What make, water freeze, johnny ?"
"Why, the cold
"Ycs, the cold air. Now, the water was
warmer before it iroze than aferward was
| it not ?"
"Why, of course"
We'll, now, where did the warmth in the
water go2"
90, see" said johnny What heat
there was in the water was driven out in the
