During aterrible naval battle be-
tween the English and the Dutch,
the English flagship, commanded
by Admiral Marlborough, was
drawn into the thickest of the fight.
The two masts were shot away, and
the main.mast fell with terrible
crash upon the deck. Admiral
Marlborough saw that all was lost,
unless he could bring up his ships
from the right. Hastily scrawling
an order, he called for volunteers to
swim across the boiling water un-
der the hail of shot and shell. A
dozen sailors at once offered their
services, among them a cabin boy.
"Why," said the Amiral, "what
can you do, my fearless lad?"
II can swim, sir,n the boy re-
piled. "If I be shot can be easier
spared than any one else.n
Marlborough hesitated; his men
were few and the position was des.
perate. The boy plunged into the
sea amid the cheers of the sailors,
and was soon lost to sight. The
battle ragged fiercer and as the time
went on defeat seemed inevitable.
But just as hope was fading thun.
dering cannonsde was heard from
the right, and the reserve was seen
bearing down upon the enemy.
By sunset the Dutch fleet was scat
tered far and wide, and the cabin
boy, the hero of the hour, was call
ed in to receive the honor due him.
His modesty and bearing SO won
the heart Of the old Admiral that
he exclaimed, ~ shall live to see
you have flagship of your own"
The prediction was fulfilled when
the cabin-boy, having become Ad-
miral Cloudsley Shovel, was
knighted by the king.

At regular meeting of Salathiel Lodge
No. 233, F. q A. NJ, held at their hall in
Keller, Dec. 23d, A. ID. 1882, A. l.. 5SS2, the
following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
To the memory of Mrs. Frances Duncombe,
who departed this life Dec. 2lst A. ID. 1882.
The Angel of Death has taken from our
midst a beloved companion and an exemplary
christian. In her sudden decease how forci-
bly, we are reminded that in the very midst
of life we are EMBODIED in the cold embrace
of the common enemy of man and yet these
solemn admonitions can hardly make US re-
aliZe "What shadows we are, what shadows
we pursue" When the destroyer's hand is
laid upon the brow of childhood in its weak
ness and innocence, and ife's red tide is
chilled or when old age, with tottering steps,
falls into the ready tomb, we bow with sub
mission to the fulflment of the designs of O
wise Providence in transplanting the earthly
flower and garnering ripened grain to the
garden of a heavenly paradise. But when
death strikes down one in the full use of q
lofty intellect, in the midst of continued use
fulness, and the diffusion of generous i'm
pulses, surrounded by filial love, fond affec-
ton and clustering hopes, then only, can we
realize that life has no impregnable fortress,
no steel clad armor to protect US from decay.
When the shaft of death struck her, whose
loss we this day deeply deplore and mourn,
the genial current of a generous heart, over
flowing with naught but kindness to her
fellow creatures around her, the activity of a
ripe intellect, the development of those quail
ties that reach the soul and awaken it to fine
and gentler issues, were all hushed in that
sudden summons for all that is mortal to put
ON immortality.
We tender our heartfelt sympathies to the
bereaved family, and commend them to the
protecting care of Him "Who doeth all
things WELL" Let their grief and tears be
sanctified by the remembrance that by this
disruption, their earthly ties are only loosen
ed for time, to be more strongly bound
in Heaven. And,
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Grand Archi-
tect of the Universe to remove the wife of
our brother, Charles Duncombe, from this
earthly tabernacle, to that heavenly mansion,
that house not made with hands, whose
builder and maker is God, and by her re-
moval our brother is deprived of the COM
panion of his youth, and counselor of his
mature years; and,
WHEREAS, The community is saddened, for
there is realizing sense of loss, for a true
and valued member of society has been taken
from our midst; therefore,
Resoloed, That the members of this lodge
extend their sympathy to our bereaved
brother and his family, and with them
cherish the memory of the deceased whose
many virtues have endeared her to us. Her
life has been an example for our imitation,
and by her removal, we are reminded that
we are in the "Valley of Shadows" and are
taught the useful lesson, that to die well, we
must live well.
Res0lced, That a copy of these resolutions
be presented to our brother, and that they
also be published in the county papers.
