The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1877-10-05

Mr.. Louis Angel, an intelligent Ger |
man, who arrived in this city on Monday
evening, looking for chance to ship in |
our fishing feet, furnishes most thrill
ing account of recent shipwreck and suf-
fering, with an escape from death that
may well be regarded as piovidential.
Mr.. Angel was mate OF the three-masted
schooner IDA Lewis, of Boston, bound
from Brazos Santiago, Tex, for New
York, with cargo of hides, which was
wrecked off the former port on the 9th of
August, all hands being lost except
boy of Is years named Henry Wallace,
belonging in Providence, r. 1. The
schooner struck on the Brazos Santiago
bar about half-past o'clock a. m, but
soon drove outside and went to pieces.
The wind was blowing from the north,
with long sea range, and the waves
were mountain high. Mr.. Angel was
fortunate enough to secure rope from
the wreck, with which he swan to a
floating water-cask, and lashed himself
and the boy, whom he had determined
to save, if possible, to the cask. Their
situation on so frail support, buffeted
about by the sea, with the wild waters
frequently covering them, can better be
imagined than described. At one time
the cask was thrown violently against
the side of the wreck by the heavy surf,
and the boys leg was crushed by the col
lision in frightful manner. With lit
tie hope of succor, exhausted by expos
ure, and beaten about at the sport of the
waves, they drifted hither and thither
for many hours, until Inconsistencies
kindly blinded them to the perils and
apparent hoplessness of their position.
They were, however, discovered by O
hghtkeeper on the coast, who tele-
graphed to Point Isabella for assistance,
and two boats were sent to their succor,
and took them off after having beer
driven about on the cask for period Of
nineteen hours. From the boats they
were transferred to little tug, where
they were wrapped in blankets and taker
to Point Isabella, where they fell into
the kind hands of a countryman of Mr.
, Angel, who spared 70 efforts to minister
to their comfort and recovery. 1t wal
four days before Mr.. Angel recovered
consciousness, and his little companion
was so seriously injured by the collision
| with the wreck that it was found neces
/ sary to amputate his leg. Having los
/ everything, the rescued man and DO.
were dependent upon charity until suffi
, GENTLY recovered to travel, when the.
: were furnished free passage by steame
to Galveston, and thence to New York
. where they separated, Mr.. Angel com
ing on to Boston and thence TO Glouces
ter, as before mentioned. The Captain
and four seamen of the Ida Lewis wer
drowned, and that the mate and young
! Wallace did not share the same fate wa
little less than miraculous. Cape an

The Delirium of Promise.

No sooner does there promise to be q
fair yield of salable staples and gener-
GUS distribution of merchandise than all
the spectators jump to the conclusion
that the Eden of sudden wealth has
come back again. Quotations are pushed
up in the grain market and the stock
market beyond all probability of realiza-
ton or of productive value the coal
producers demand another dollar per
ton without apparent reason in supply
and demand, and everybody makes a
push to get back to the state of things
which, in more rational moments, we all
identify with unhealthy expansion, and
with rapidity of getting rich which we
do not seriously expect to see return.
This constant struggle to get back what
we ought to let go is the chief obstacle
which meets every reviving influence.
The effort to assume and impose value
where, as yet, none exists, or where its
nominal existence is due to fraud and
ought to be wiped out i'll the long run of
trade equalizations the endeavor to
raise the moderate profits of this era to
the swelling per cents. OF other days
these are the stumbling blocks in the
way of settled prosperity.
The acceptance of low prices, low
profits, low wages, low valuations and
the biding of them, will distinguish
business for some time to come. These
conditions are cons istent with prosperi-
ty, and we shall call ourselves prosper
Gus when employment at living wages is
offered to all who ask it. We see all the
favorable influences and facts in the fall
situation which are visible to everybody,
but we regret to see them forestalled by
speculative delirium inappropriate
and disproportioned to the occasion. 1t
is like the laborer with destitute fam
lily who, when he is offered days work,
gets his wages in advance, and dissi-
pates with a grand drunk the hours
which should have been devoted to
toll.
OF course, there is no need of worry
ing. Values will drop back again in
due season, without our assistance. but
it is a proper time to remind spectators,
corporations and people in general that
modesty of expectation and of greed are
more appropriate to the time and more
helpful to the general welfare. II is for
the general interest that everybody
should have at least half loaf before
the scramble begins for the whole one,
for only on this condition can the ac-
emulation of surplus become general
and the means of expenditure universal.

English Postal Savings Banks.

From the annual report just issued of
the operation of the English Postal Saw
ings Bank, we learn that of the -, 447
postoffices in Great Britain only 5, AS do
banking business. The postal savings
deposits at the end of 1876 were S110,-
600, 900, belongingto /, 702, 900 depositors.
Deposits had increased, while the num-
Der of depositors had grown smaller.
The expense to the department of each
withdrawal and deposit was IL cents, the
surplus over liabilities was $500, 900,
and the rate of interest paid q per cent.

black cap had been placed over his head
the second time, he asked that it might
be removed so that he could see daylight
once more. His request was complied
with, when he said, Gentlemen, good

Jesus Christ have mercy on me" AT

WHAT is NATUREs
ny JOHN STUART BLAcKrE.

What thing Is nature? Well don't
Assume 10 make CHATTER,
rsSe Ueoel. Hamilton and Comte,
Concerning mind and matter
Yet, have had my thoughts a. times
And aimee you ask the question,
y,n tell YOU what think In rhymes
That won't hurt your digestion;
Mature is n growth, a coming forth
Into new fashion ever,
DIR that whose substance knows no Dirtn,
Whose virtue dieth never.
What substance? That which TO define
MY grasping reason smothers;
nut what Ia best call divine,
And worship God with others.
You're a materialist? Not at all;
III I should seek to find
The best name for what best 1 call,
I'D rather call 1t mind.
And mind is one, and what we call
The many Ii but one,
A million rays shoot from the ball
OF tn light-evolving sun.
Hut not TO dogmas incline;
And, think me not unwise,
Who fear and love, but not define,
The Power that shapes the skies.
And you, sir doctor, are fool,
With logical appliance,
That would take God into your school,
And teach Him terms of science;
Aud talk of nature, God, and man,
With technic demonstration,
AZ II yourself had sketched the plan
OF boundless, vast creation;
And dress mean thoughts in phrases grand,
And prove with solemn chatter
That You have got, in your clumsy hand,
Two things called mind and matter.
Go to! you know not this nor that;
Man has no measuring rod
For nature, force, and law, and what
The wisest men call God.
For law and life, and all the course
OF lovely, shifting nature,
All but the play of one wise Force,
Which Moses called Creator.
Think on your knees It's better so
Than without wings to soar;
What blinking reason strains to know
We find when We adore.
