The Helmsman of Lake Erie,


BY EPEs SARGENT.
Brave fellows, in my day,
Have I beheld,--
Brave on the quarterback,
Brave in the hour of wreck,
Brave where the hope impelled
And death before them lay.
But If you ask of me,
Who of them all
First to my thought appears,
Bright through the mist of years,
Foremost at memory's call,-
This would my answer be.
John Maynard. he's the first

He of that fearful scene.

Crowded with passengers !

Hardly the shore could see.
When came that dreaded note
Which most the heart blood stirs-
"Fire!" And the captain cried, ..

There at his post expire?
Fly. John, at once Away
Mhere rescue may be had!
True, all to God in thee
Look now for aid:
trembling in view of death,
Men, women hold their breath
But shall they safe be made
Through thy deep agony 2"
Swathed round with flame and moke
John still held on:
"Only five minutes more,
And we may jump ashore.
Steady" the captain spoke.
" Steady it is" said John.
One minute longer, John,
Can you remain 2"
AYE, with Gods help, I can,"
Quote the lad, grown to man
In that extreme OF pain,
With crown celestial on,
Up, on its wings of flame,
Up drove the keel
Up to the shelving beach,
Out of the pillows reach,
Where men could leap and kneel
All with good acclaim.

d" Why WILL YE DIE, On YE OF LIT
TIE FAITH ?'-The following well-written
article is from the Davenport Democrat Of
December 10, 1872, and is a powerful re-
minder to the afflicted:
The most insidious, deadly and distress
ing malady attacking the human frame, is
pale consumption, stealing into the maid
ems bosom, flushing her cheek, blanching
her skin, and feeding like living worm Of
death upon her vitals. A lover may
fondly gaze into her eyes, the brilliant
sparkling is but a forerunner of dissolu-
ton. A mother may listen to her mid
night breathing, it is but muf1ed drum
beating her death -knell A father may
fondly try to save her, but too frequently
his efforts are in vain, her bridal bed is the
burial case; her bridegroom, death, the
silent consumer of her lungs is at work
and physicians have no remedy, the phar-
macopoia no drug which cankeep her from
her destiny Sad as this view is, there is,
happily, bright side Providence has
garnered up in the st0rehouses of vegeta-
ton, a sovereign balm in the Juices of
plants to arrest the fell destroyer, to heal
the eating ulcer, to renovate the failing
lung, to bring health. strength and vigor
to the wasted frame The keen eye of
science has searched for it, the chemist 5
skill has seized upon it, the retort and
alembic have extracted it, and the remedy
is produced which will stay the progress of
the stealthy death fiend The result of
this careful study of nature is Aliens
Lung Balsam, this is the consumptive' 5
hope, the declining patients cure Thou
sands have entered upon a trial of it with
distru5t and fear, who now live to record
its snatehing them from an early grave, and
who are ready to testify to its merits. Let
the consumptive take it and be benefited.

An Old Pioneer Gone About five
weeks ago, Uncle Billy Rearlck, as he was
Familiarity called, who resided on the pike
about four miles from the city, was taken ill,
and grew slowly and steadily worse until
Sunday evening, when he died. His funeral
took place on Monday last, and was attended
by a large coneourse of friends who loved the
genial old gentleman, and desired to attest it
by escorting his remains to their last resting
place. Uncle Billy was born in Union coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, March 1st, 1903, and was
consequently 70 years, months, and l3 days
old at the time of his death. He married quite
young and the wife OF his youth remains TO
mourn his departure. After their marriage
they resided in Union county until 1884, when
they came to Ohio, and settled on the spot
where he died, and where he had lived for 80
years, witnessing the vast changes which have
transpired and contributing his might to make
what was then wilderness bloom and BIOS
som as the rose. At the time when he settled
there, his nearest neighbor was Uncle Peter
Burgoon, who lived about three miles north
east, near Mud creek, Ihis present residence.
Between these two a friendship sprang up as
genial, as kindly, and as lasting as i'll they had
been born brothers. In their later years they
were almost inseparablo companions, and
were usually seen together when away from
home. Uncle Peter, though some years the
senior of the deceased, is ruddy and active,
and we hope has yet many years of health be-
fore him, but he will miss his old companion
sadly.
