Sam Patch, the Jumper.
From Henry B. stanton's ''Recollections."

From Henry B. Stanton's "Recolectons."
Sam Patch the famous jumper and diver,
came to Rochester in the fall we will say, of
1928, and proposed to leap from the falls in
the heart of the village. On the day fixed
Sam appeared. The banks of the river, as
far as the eye could reach were lined with
spectators. He was dressed in a suit of
white, and will state for the benefit of other
fools of the same class that before he leaped
he placed his hands firmly ON his loins,
then sprang from the shelving rock and went
down straight as an arrow. He came up feet
foremost and swan ashore amid the shouts of
thousands. A few days later he proposed
to leap again He erected scaffold twenty
five feet high on the brink of the falls, MAX
ing the descent 1875 feet. On the day named
another immense. throng assembled. Mr..
Weed and happened to meet at the foot of
the scaffold Patch came dressed as before,
and, apparently, little under the influence
of liquor. AS he assembled the scatfold Mr..
Weed left, but remained. AS Patch went
down his arms were all in whirl, and he
struck the water with a stunning splash
The crowd waited for hours. He did not rise.
The next spring the mangled remains of the
poor wretch were found at the foot the falls
at Carthage, four miles below.

Faithful Mothers.

How much there is sometimes in single
word. One word can often move the heart
more deeply than the whole of an elegant
sermon. Speak the word "household," or
"freside," or 'home," to one who is wander
ing friendless, and, perhaps in strange land,
and how quickly the tears will start, the
bosom heave and the lips culver. Memory
goes back with lightning speed to the days
OF childhood when the loved household
gathers in an unbroken band around the fire.
side in the dear home. The happy voices
that are scattered far away, or hushed in the
silent dormitory of the dead, are plainly
heard by memory's ear, and above the rest
sounds the loving mothers voice, as with one
of the sweet songs of Zion she sang her weary
child to sleep. AS memory brings I'D so
faithfully scenes of the old home, and lust
as faithfully his life since he left that home,
how our wanderer wishes himself back
again an innocent child on his mothers lap
listening to the old Bible stories that are ever
new. The story floats in his memory and
thoughts of them and his mother cause the
tears to roll down his cheeks. Oh, the men,
DRY OF loving, faithful mother can soften
the hardest heart. How her advice, pre-
cepts and love can help us when she has
long been Wondering in the grave When we
think of home, how our thoughts will go back
to the place where mother was, and when we
look forward to the beautiful home beyond
the river faith and imagination see mother
there.
Oh, mothers of the youth of our country,
do you realize what a power for good is in
your hands if you will only use itp Are YOU
so living before your children, SO training
them that when they go out in the world
away from you, or you are taken from them,
their memories ofyou will be as q guiding
star to keep them in the right path? Do
you realize that God has placed the children
with you to take care of for him? Do you
stop to think that the way in which mothers
train their children will now influence the
whole nation, aye, in years to come? If you
do, why do you leave that little one offender
years out in the streets away from under
your own eyes and ear, to learn more ofevil
in one hour than you can uproot in a life
time? How are you training your sons that
in time to come are to fill offices all over the
land Are you training your daughters to
be true women, worthy to become wives and
mothers of the nation? Oh, woman, take
care ofthe precious talent God has given you;
and one way to make the best use oft is to
make your home the most pleasant spot ON
earth Gather your household around
cheerful fireside, where the cold, wintry
winds of uukindness and neglect are not
allowed to come but from which the men,
beers will carry glow all their lives.
