Paint and Preserve Your Roofs.

We, the undersigned, having applied VIII
LIAMs' PETROLEUM METAL PAINT to our roofs
last season, and noted carefully It's effects
since that time, take pleasure in recommends
ing it to our friends, and the public generally,
as being in our opinion worth much more than
the cost of it as preventive against decay to
which wood roof is subject, requiring as it
does re-shingling every few years whereas
by the application of this Paint, which fills
the pores of the wood, hardens and virtually
becomes part of the same, rendering it alb
soutely impervious to water, see no rea-
son why the shingles shall not last lifetime
We also consider it proof against fire from
floating sparks or cinders. 1t does not in
jure the water for cistern use; it improves the
appearance of the building and will prove, we
feel confident, pleasing and paying invest
ment to all who may apply it to their roofs.

CAPTAIN WILLIAMS.

In contrast with the cowardly, inhuman
conduct of the English Captain Eyre, it
is noted that the first act in the life of Mid
shipman Edward p. Williams, late COM
mander of the Inflated Oneida, was to
save the captain and crew of the British ship
Cleopatra off St. Johns, N. B., in the year
1858, while Capt Williams was attached to
the United States sloop-ot-war Decatur. 1t
was dark, stormy night, and after much
danger and exposure the officers OF the i'll
tated ship was got on board the Decatur with
safety. Nlidshipman E. P. Williams was in
charge of the boat that brought them, and
upon getting on board Capt. Whittlesey
asked if all were safe? Williams replied
Il have saved every soul, SIR" And he had.
The relatives and friends of Capt. Williams
may, perhaps, draw some small comfort from
the thought that the story of his heroism in
the face of death will be remembered as
long as the world retains its admiration fol
gallant deeds. He would not leave his post
on the bridge, although he was almost pulled
away, and when urged by Mr.. Yates, re-
piled, Il 60 down with my ship" A petty
officer urging him 10 90, he grasped the iron
rail, and said, mo, this is my place, and
here will | remain" These are the stories
which people tell each other, with softened
hearts, over the winters fire, and which in.
cites the young to courageous acts and self
denying aims. There is no book of ship
wrecks, or volume OF ''Stories of the Sea-
in which the loss of the brave officers of the
Oneida viii not be treasured up, to draw
tears from thousands long after this genera
ton has passed away. IN. Y. Times.

" | SHALL DIE ALONE"

When the rich gold and purple of Life's sunset
Lies in its beauty on the silent sea;
When on the shore see the whte-robed angel
And hear his whisper, God has called for thee ),
Eyes lit with love will watch me on the sea shore
Warm human hands will fondly press my own.
But can bear them with me on my journey
Out through the dmness of the world unknown
And this great beauty of the earth and heavens.
The holy night whose glory fills my soul,
The Softened amethyst of fading twilight
The cleaning stars on nights embaZoned scroll
The rosy light of morning on the mountains,
The tender purple of the distant sea,
Things love now, from henceforth all forgotten
What of their beauty can bear with me!
".ione, Alone sighed gentle-hearted Pascal,
And yet think that not alone We die;
Though all this earth is dimly fading from us,
Are we alone if one kind Friend is nighs
one who hath said, "Lo, am with you always,
The way-worn Man who sat by Galilee,
Speaking good words and healing all the people,
Who lived and died for love of me.
Oh, not alone, for this our Friend and Brother,
Though heavens great angels bow before His
throne,
Shall stand with us upon the silent sea-shore,
His hand shall guide us to the world unknown

A REMARKABLE CASE. An Augusta CORE
spondent relates the following affecting story
of an old lady resident in this county, which is
also striking commentary on the desttution
which the late war entailed upon the people
Of the country
Among the incidents of the week was one of
peculiar interest. With the orphans who came up
here yesterday from the "Home" in Bath to visit
the legislature, was woman, visiting here for a
few days, who is worthy of brief notice. She is a
resident of Burnham in the county of Waldo. At
the beginning of the war her husband was almost
enlisted. Three were mustered into the service,
the fourth was rejected on account of disability.
These three sons were killed. OF her great family
of grandchildren thirty-one We're left orphans
three OF these have recently died, only six of the
twenty-eight remaining are in the Orphans Home
The old lady went to Bath two days ago to visit
the little ones, and was given clothing Sc, which
she very much needed. AT sight of pair of boots
which kind lady gave her, she cried like child
remarking, "This is the first time anybody eve
gave me anything" She had only fifty cents
when she started from home, but the conductors
all passed her willingly. At the Augusta Hou sc
she dreaded to go to the table, saying she would
rather not eat where there were so many PEG pie
"a tavern in my life.' Yesterday, she was on the
floor of the House of Representatiy es, and by
unanimous vote, resolve passed. giving her ,
pension for life. Her name is Betsey REYNOLDS
She is siXty-Seven years old. Her husband died
two years ago. Trouble has bent her form AMI
dimmed her eye, but she is a sensible modest ant
brave woman.

THE FUTURE.

What may we take into the vast forever?
That marble door
Admits no fruit of all our long cndeuvor,
No famc-wreathed crown we wore,
No garnered lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknown portal.
No gold, no gains
OF all our toling; in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains.
Nor gilds. nor stains
Naked from out that far abyss behind us
We entered here;
No word came with our coming, to remind us
What wondrous world was near,
No hope, no fear.
Into the silent, starless night before us,
Naked we glide
No hand has mapped the consultations DER us,
No comrade at our side,
No chart, no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight black and hollow
Our footsteps fare;
The Reckoning Of Fathers hand we follow
His love alone is there,
No curse, no care.

SOWING.

Are we sowing the seeds of kindness:
They shall blossom bright ere long.
Are we sowing seeds of discord?
They shall ripen into wrong,
Are we sowing seeds of honor:
They shall bring forth golden grain,
Are we sowing the seeds falsehood:
We shall vet reap bitter pain.
Whatsoever our sowing be,
Reaping, we its fruits must see.
We can never be too careful
What the seeds our hands shall SOW:
Love from love is sure to ripen,
Hate from hate is sure to grow:
Seeds of good or i'll we scatter
Heedlessly along our way;
But glad or grievous fruitage
Waits us at the harvest day.
Whatsoever our sowing be.
Reaping, we its fruits must see.

passed Thanksgiving day at her father's:
Each word and action was so forgettul OF
self, so exquisitely moulded, that, like
swinging censers, his many graces per-
fumed the atmosphere, breathing harmony,
purity, and charity. This good man wished
to be present at primitive Thanksgiving
dinner, and, with childlike. simplicity, he
entered into the mystery of pumpkin pie !;
while he to whom the Impress kneels paid
equal homage to Pop corn, as the hard ker-
mel, freed from bondage, came forth Won
drously beautiful. One popularity was no.
ticeablc he being equally interested in
two beautiful children, true to his priestly
VOWS, kissed the boy while the girl received
smile. The sumptuous feast must have
appeared in strange contrast to convent life,
where they fast eight months in year and
sleep on boards. He. was particularly in
terested in our popular songs, and thought
John Brown" soul-stirring and grand !;
and was also very much surprised to find
the Americans surprising the English in
their knowledge of the French language.
At s o'clock he retired, but rose again at,l2
to say his prayers. r -f ,.: :
