At "Hugh's Point" Long Island, de-
lightful spot, selected for home on account
of its beauty, dwet Shubael Williams. In
l779 the British were at Castine Their
officers were accustomed to visit this Eden
Of Williams for rest and pleasure, and for
a view Of islands and ocean from Abrams
mountain.
Williams hated the British with patriots
hatred, but his beautiful daughter fell in love
with one of her fathers enemies, named
Jackson. "The course of true love did not
run smooth" in this instance. Her father
opposed the match, and the lovers were
obliged to meet clandestinely. Winter
came, ice formed from the Island to Castine
Que evening Jackson started upon the ice,
to visit the Yankee maiden. He had nearly
reached the shore, guided by light in the
lady's window. but the sun and wind had
been at work the previous dav, and the ice
had become weak that when near the
thore it broke and the unfortunate lover
was precpitated into the icy cold water.
His cries for help were heard from the
shore. but were not understood. Their
diminishing tones soon ceased and he san k.
In the spring when the ice had departed,
his body was thrown upon the beach bv the
waves. 1t was discovered by Williams and
buried in an old potato pit. Soon after this,
Williams visited Castine and was arrested
by the British, kept in close confinement
three weeks. flogged, and finally released.
The lady in time forgot her grief and mar

Keep Posted.

We wish to emphasize by repetition the
following pithy remarks by the editor of the
american Bookseller: Almost every trade
and avocation that can be named. for which
one must be specially fitted, has one or more
papers devoted especially to its wants. And
they are all needed. We are living in an
age Of constant change and improvement.
The tradesman. or The artisan, or the work
er in any field. who is content with what he
knows, and does not keep informed of the
changes, soon finds himself left far behind
in life's race. Success waits only upon him
who keeps constantly posted and how is
he to do it these days without his trade or
professional journalP
