PLUNGE INTO THE LAKE

He rushed TO their assistance at the risl,
of his own life, and as a portion of the boat
remained on the ice, little difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting Miss Anderson to place
of comparative safety. Mr.. Somers was
then compelled TO abandon the idea of cross
ing with the ice-boat, and was about TO turn
back to the New York shore when Two men
were observed approaching from the Yer
mont side on skates pushing light cutter.
They had observed the rredicament OF the
party and fastened to the rescue. Miss An
derson was placed in the cutter, and the
skaters, with Mr.. Munson, started for the
Green Mountain State. but they were soon
compelled to separate, it being apparent that
the ice was not strong enough 10 bear the
united weight of the party, and one of the
skaters remained with Miss Anderson, while
the other one and Mr.. Munson started alone.
The appearance OF the ice indicated that a
general breakup was soon to occur, and it
came sooner than was anticipated. Before
Vermont was reached the ice suddenly sep
arated between the party and the shore. and

to their progress. No course was left but
to turn back and hasten toward New York.
This was quickly done, but the ice continu-
ed TO break up around them and their dan
ger increased at every step. Large cracks
appeared in what an instant before looked
like solid ice, and when near enough to New
York to see the situation there it was dis
covered that the ice had also disappeared
from that shore The bells at Essex were
rung, whistles were blown, and a crowd of
excited persons congregated along the banks
of the lake Boats were launched and
manned by brave rescuers, but great Difficult
ty was experienced in pushing the boats
through the floating ice, and before they
could reach Miss Anderson and her asso-
ciates in danger the break up became general.
Miss Anderson was fortunate in getting upon
large cake of ice, where she remained until
taken off in one of the boats. Mr.. Munson
and the skaters were compelled to jump
from cake to cake upwards of an hour be
fore they could be reached, and when finally
rescued were in an almost exhausted condi-
ton. Mr.. Munson was completely wet
through, and his associates were in much the
same condition.

MISS ANDERsoN's HERoIsM.

When safe on shore Miss Anderson, who
exhibited rare presence of mind and courage
throughout the trying ordeal, was asked if
she was not afraid. ''Of course | was" she
replied, ''but ii did me no good TO be afraid.
| knew We were in danger and that all the
presence of mind and courage we possessed
would be required to save u.s." Mr.. Somers,
who started for New York in advance of the
others. reached the shore before the breakup
and gave the alarm. Mr.. Munson says he
was told the escape of himself and asso-

in that vicinity.

SUNDAY READING,
WheeI Barrow RsIluIon.


Richard Baxter said good thing
when he said of some who lived In his
day, that they had wheel-barrow re-
liglon." They "went when they were
showed" 1t would be hard to find a
better name for the religion of many
who live now. Many people are like
wheel-barrows, and no Paddy plodding
up and down steep incline has harder
and more weary work than those whose
duty 1t Is to push them. AS often rs
not they are quite empty. They take
what is put into them, whether It be
good or worthless. Whatever knowl-
edge or feeling of duty they have is
proof of some one else's work. They
are easily upset and emptied, and
they have no power or will to get
up again. They move as long as firm
hand grasps them and keeps them GO
ing. AS soon as they are left to them
selves they stop, and are helpless and
useless until they are lifted. When
they move, it is up and down, backwards
and forwards, never getting further, or
showing any life of their own.
We do not blame wheel-barrow for
being what 1t was made to be, or for not
showing the nature of man. But it
is quite to bad that reasonable, responsi.
ble creatures would show no more will
or character than wheel-barrow. A.
human being ought not ouly to hear
truth, but SO to lay hold of it and make
1t his own that it may be new power
to him. He ought to seek Gods light
and learn motive for right doing, SO as
to be able to watch for his way, and
take it, and go on in it. He ought to
know the worth of Gods grace and how
to gain it, so as to need no urging to use
the means rightly, that he may grow in
it and be strong.
NO wonder many preacher loses
heart, and feels that his work is not
guiding living souls, but trundling
wheel-barrows. He wants to teach
those who have never learned, or to
rouse those who have not wakened out
of the sleep of sin; but he forced to spend
his time on those who know all he has
taught and reused over and over again.
He finds them tumbled into the mire of
some sin, emptied of all they had gain
ed, and helpless to get up. Or he finds
them standing idle, waiting like dead
things, ready to be pushed by q servant
or God or an agent of Satan.

An Auti-Revolutionary "Reminiscences.

Not long ago 1 walked through st.
Paul's churchyard and gazed with in
creased interest on Beverly Robinson IS
grave. He was the builder of the Rob-
inson house, where Andre and Arnold
held their last meeting, and L may add
that this house is not only still in ex-
istence, but is also occupied. The his
tory of the Robinsons is very peculiar,
and shows how men may be influenced
by circumstances. There were two
brothers, John and Beverly, and both
were friends of Washington. Beverly
left Virginia early in life and came to
this city. He was an elegant and at
tractive young man, and he married
Miss Phillipse, an heiress of vast wealth.
This made him Tory. John remained
in Virginia and became a patriot
Washington came to this city on pub
lie business shortly after Braddock's de-
feat, and was Beverly Robinson's guest.
He there met Mary Phillipse Mrs. Rob-
inson's sister,, and it is said that he of
fered her his hand. Had it been accent
ed he would also have become an exten-
sive landholder, and under the strong
Government influence which then pre-
vailed in New York. he, too might have
become Tory. Men are in no small
degree the creatures of circumstances. =
We should feel thankful that Mary
Phillipse declined the proposal to leave
a gay city and live on plantation. 1t
may have been the turning point in
Washington destiny Utica Herald.

Truth Will Never Die.

The stars will grow dim, the sun will
pale his glory, but truth will be ever
young. Integrity, uprIghtness, honesty,
love, goodnes, then, are all imperisha-
BILE. No grave can even entomb these
immortal principles. They have been
in prison, but they have been freer than
before. Those who have enshrined
them in their hearts have been burned
at the stake, but out of their ashes other
witnesses have arisen. No sea can
drown, no storm can wreck, no abyss
can swallow up the everlasting truth
You cannot kill goodness, and integrity,
and righteousness. The way that is
consistent with these must be way
everlasting.

Habit.

Habit is a cable. We weave the
thread of it every day, and at length
we cannot break it. The chains of habit
are generally too small to be felt, until
they are too strong to be broken. To
one who murmured because he rebuked
him for small matter, Plato replied !:
" Custom is no small matter. A custom
or habit of life does frequently alter the
natural inclination for good or evil" !"
After series OF years winding up a
watch at certain hour, 1t becomes SO
much of a routine as to be done in utter
inconsistencies; meanwhile the mind
and body are engaged in something else.

AS we have said, in 1866 attention was
SO much drawn to the state of the public
affairs of the country, that not sufficient
heed was paid by the press to this
strange mystery in Taggart's Inn.
One morning, before even the burial
had taken place, it was announced that
Margaret Maytor had committed suicide.
The same evening this horrible news
was contradicted, but, at the same time,
replaced by the statement that the mur-

cB- David Swing, in the Alliance, tells
how bride reformed her profane hus-
band. She invited her bridesmaids, -four
in number, to quiet dinner. AS they
knew of the profane habits of the groom
and also knew of his good qualities
that he was man worth saving-they
entered gladly into the proposed
comedy. The plan was that all of these
beautiful woman should use profane
words at the table, as the hot coffee or
slow servants might afford opportunity.
1t was bold plan, but it is said to have
cured the wicked husband for when his
elegant wife applied profane term to
the biscuit, and fair guest made like
remark of the coffee, and still another
applied profane expletive to the move
ments of servant; the husband abso-
lutely cried with remorse that he had
ever himself used such an outrageous
form of speech. Professor Swing thinks
that "while such cure cannot be JUS
titled, because it might kill the ladies,
without curing the masculine offender,
yet the story itself may serve to show
that man as an animal that swears is
mournful curiosity"

derer had been discovered, and had con-
fessed his crime. This statement was
contradicted next day, but not before
the information had been added that he
would be tried at the approaching as
sizes.
However, all the reports settled at last
into a statement to the effect that the
police had discovered nothing = that
they hoped soon to be on the track of
the assassin, but that the case was in
volved in so many contradictions as to
take it quite out of the category of COM
mon murders. The chief points of the
embarrassment Of the police were these
that there appeared no motive for the
crime, and that the blow had been
struck by weapon which positively
belonged to the deceased, and was in his
possession up to the very hour of his
death.
Evidently the assassin had not come
armed, or he would have used the
weapon he had brought with him. On
the other hand, how came he possessed
VI the knlle ny W0lCn llle lSIIlUle ueeu
was efiectedY There was no trace of
this. The weapon with which the deed
was accomplished was there, but it Of
fered not the least clue to the assassin's
identity, simply because it had never be-
longed to him. All the proof of his
act was the wound itself which prohib-
tied the thought of suicide, and the dis
covery of the crimsoned knife itself,
found under chair.
Not a trace could the police find albeit
they tried hard to make such discovery
as would appear of little value to an
ordinary man, but of immense import
ance to such man as Paul Webber. In
the mystery of Taggart's Inn there was
not the faintest sign of any solid evil
dence against the murderer, and the
police were cast back utterly and wholly
upon surmise; in other words, the
police could do nothing but guess"
And here is some analysis of the way
in which the police guessed. Continued
next week.
