J cause he was true
They were inspired by
us own examtiie. He led them to death
i
because he refused not to die himself. He
shared their fate. Master aud crew sank
into one common grave.
As soon as the first tidings of the ship
wreck were received, the wife of this noble
officer said, " She knew he had perished, for
he would stand by tbu ship to the last, aud
save others even at the sacrifice of himself."
This utidoubting trust in his character and
couu. let ia fully confirmed by the testimony
of all who wre saved, who speak in the
highest praise of his coolness and intrepidi
ty, He declared from tho first that ho would
not leave thu ship, and he was standing at
the wheel when she finally went down! A
death more noble eou'd ii"t be conceived.
A thousn'id times lietter such a death than
to have preserved his life by any desertion
or failure in duty. Thus to perform what
is laid upon us is the highest glory of man.
When Lord Nelson fellin the battle of
Trafalgar, he exclaimed, "Thank God, I
have done my duty." Whether he had a
right to say this or not, certainly is a satis
faction which can soothe the aponies of a
dying man, even sinking in the cold Atlantic,
to know that while he has beeu exposed to
! fearful dangers, bis soul has not been want

that we arc not situated with respect to

This reminds me of an incident which oc
curred some time ago in tbe neighboring
town of Sherbon. A fins, larpe ox was
taken sick, refused to c at, aud in spite of
all remedies resorted to, soon died. At a
" post mortem examination," a hard, smooth
ball, of the tdze of a largo apple, and re

a piece of pranite rock, was taken from his

With a whoop of despair he ran aft, aud,
