gone through the mock ceremony, on emery
ing from the passage was so elated that he
sprang upon jutting crag and exultingly
sang, as in his stage part:
81 am the joliest boyi O. am sumner,
have been through the hole aud born Gunner ;"
1t was happy thought happily carried out,
and was applauded to the echo. During the
mus ical performance yesterday everything, OF
course, was conducted in free and easy style,
and when the curtain was down the boys be-
hind it improved the occasion to exercise their
wit, which they frequently did at the expense
of those in front, all they said being perfectly
audible to the 'house."
After supper last evening the table was kept
in a roar by a series of poetical recitations by
Cloves, Winship, Staples and others. The ar
rival of party of ladies put stop to it, for'lt
must be confessed some Of it was little 100
Don Juanish to be recited to a mixed audl-
ence. We passed a comparatively quiet night
We are enjoying as fair day as ever
dawned. 1t is exceptionable weather for the
Cunners and they are laying off and enjoying
themselves, each according to his own sweet
will. 1t seems pity to break camp i'll such
weather as we are having, and we are indulg-
ing in regretful feelings at the idea of leaving
this spot endeared by SO many associations.
One potent attraction here is the open-handed
hospitality extended to us by Capt. Strout OF
the Light and his estimable lady, both OF
whom are indefatigable in rendering our stay
agreeable, contributing in every possible way
to our comfort and well being. Your reporter
feels especially indebted to them for many
kindly acts for which he feels this acknowl-
edgment due.
The last day in camp is generally very
quiet enc. Our stay is so brief that we uncork
our bottles of mirth at the outset, and drain
them at once, whereas if we remained longer
we should not be SO lavish of our store, but
exc it out to the close. A week S fun is crowd
ed into forty-eight hours; not a wise prodigali-
ty, but under the circumstances not very well
to be avoided We come out here under full
head of steam, and we are bound to work it
off, however limited may be our time. Enough
remained to render our last dinner and supper
q lively one, and speaking of the latter, we
must not neglect to mention a loaf of cake
which brother Shaw literally dispensed-the
same loaf that, deliberately ornamented, was
sent to him by the wife of Brother Tolman, on
the occasion of the fete rendered him by the
CunnerS some time since.
Immediately after supper q song by J. l..
Shaw, to the Sweet Bye and Bye, was sung,
the tents struck and in due time we started
for home, after a parting round of cheers to
the light keeper and his family. Pic.

ACCIDENTS IN THE HARBoR YEsTER-
DAY
Gilman B. Conway Drowned:

Yesterday afternoon during the high wind,
two young lads and two yonng girls went out
to sail in the Frolic, a small sail-boat. The
parents of the young girls did not wish them
to go because it was so squally, and finding
their objections did not avail they sent out
row-boat and had the girls leave the sail-boat
and come ashore. The girls were landed
safely when a squall struck the Frolic and she
capsized. The lads managed to cling to the
bottom of the Frolic until they were rescued
by party in sloop The Frolic afterwards
1oated ashore All the parties in the Frolic
belonged at Hog Island.
A schooner-rigged boat containing two men,
capsized off Fort Gorges, but both men were
rescued after receiving serious ducking.
Yesterday afternoon two boys playing
around Randall & McAllister's wharf, climbed
into small boat, which overturning, threw
both into the water. Hearing their cries, Mr..
John Randall, of the firm of Randall & Nc
Allister, ran down the wharf, leaped into the
water and rescued the little fellows, one of
whom was clinging to the boat and the other
to pile. The boys name is McKim, and they
live ON OK ford street.

Gilman b. Conway started yesterday fore
noon with the sloop Ripple to deliver her to a
party of tourists at Prout's Neck. When
within about mile of that place sudden
flaw capsized her. The poor unfortunate man
crawled upon the bottom and beckoned for
assistance from the shore, but before any could
be rendered the sloop sank and its occupant
shared the same fate. Conway was about So

of friends.

REACTION.

Human nature is the same in all ages
in all countries, and among all nations
When Christ was upon the earth in per
son, he chose twelve followers. Ofthese
one proved to be q traitor, and sold bis
master for thirty pieces of silver, and all
of the other eleven forsook their leader
and fed, and Peter, one of the best and
bravest of them, denied that he had ever
known Christ and lied, cursed and swore
But soon there was a reaction. Judas
the traitor, through remorse, hanged
himself and all the others came back,
and all died the death of martyrs to the
cause they once forsook.
Human nature is the same now, and in
these United States. A year and half
ago, nearly all the Republicans forsook
their cause and fed. They declared that
the cause for which a million of men had
died, was lost cause, and that the ques.
tion of human rights was forever settled
in the rebel States, and could never more
be agitated. Then, as ever, we had faith
in God, and in the truths taught by the
history of the human race, and on the
25th of October, 1877, we wrote and pub
lished in the Standard the following
