The following somewhat singular story scemed like an anthem of praise,
is told in one of our Maine exchanges by "Extol the stem of Jessie's rod,

the lake where the water was the deepest,
so deep that no line in the village could
reach the bottom, and where the ice must
be thinnest, lecause it is the last to freeze
there. I knew this ; but I felt that we were
going with such rapidity, that there was no
new dancer bo long as there was no baK:
in the song. I singled out a tree upon the
show we were trying to make, and calcula
ted that if at the rate they were Mnguig,
there were verses enough to reach it. i
feared lest the leader might omit a verse
as was sometimes done in church and there
I mi'dit be left to pass in silence, or rather in

thatI had become used to it, or that it was
more faint than it was before, that it failed
to affect me as at first. So, too, there was
little breadth of ice to le passed over
after t he singers had closed the verse :
"JL-t every kindred, every tribe,
On this torrential ball,
To him all majesty ascrile.
And crown him Lord of all."
But our momentum was then such that I
knew we could reach the shore in safety,
which wc soon did.
On reaching it there was the same bois
terous noise that marked our starting, cacn

It was 1 d'j not remember the precis
year but it was when I was seventeen
Uars old, and when I lived in the -Nev
'n"-lai.d villago where I was born, and
from which I had hardly ever been away.
It was a pleasant old town, built in Colonial
days, and containing but few inhabitants
wave those who were descended from the
hills and was situated on the eastern side
fa lake two miles long and less than a
mile in breadth. That lake, or pond as we
called it, furnished most of the pleasure
i.ir the neoule in the village. There we
sw
fened the surface of its pure waters, there
we skated till the unwelcome snow came
to impede our course. On the East there
was a succession of green fields and or
chards, while its western shore was lined
by a primeval forest of pine trees. Only
oiie clearing had been made among these
old cone-bearing trees, and that w as a re
cent one, and embraced but a few acres,
'l he great trunks of the trees had been
taken to a ship-building town on the Iven
r check for spare of vessels, while the
branches had been piled in heaps among
t he huge rocks that occupied so much of
1 he irround.

of thanks "to the Giver of every good and
perfect gift." Not for us alone, but for all
those who had been brought out of peril.
Then we rose, and hand in hand w e silently
walked to our home.
The next day was Thanksgiving ; we en
tered into no boisterous mirth. We kept
our secret to ourselves that day and dur
ing all the time siuco then we have not
mentioned the affair to each other. But
once long after this, when wc w ere in church
together, and the preacher gave out vCor
onation." I noticed that he did not sing,
earnest, older friend, who had come from I but grasped my hand in his, while the
i.rave boys came from the stores of Bos
ton and the saw mills ol umtown. lirave
girls, beautiful in the devotion they show ed
i .r the families they were supporting at
home, came fmm the cotton mills of Lowell
jmd Manchester. Houses where plain and
almost scanty food had been served for
many a week, were well filled with plente-
-iistiess now, for to-morrow was Thanks
giving. What were we all to do the next
lay, "the merriest, gladdest day," of all
the year, besides go to church anil eat tho
l.-ast that had been so long in preparation?
hat w as the question asked by my strong,
Boston to spend Thanksgiving
"Skate, of course," I answered.
"But why not try tho ice to-night?" he
asked.
1 could see no reason and so we bound
n our skates and Hew as it were over the
glassy surface of the pond to the cove, about
v huh were the piles of pine lughs. Once
t here, we conceived the idea of how grand
it would be to skate back to the village, col
lect together tho women and girls, take a
picnic, place them all in sleighs and on
hand sleds, draw them to this place, and
to eat supper on these rocks, amid the
glare of burning tree tops. AVe were not
long in carrying out our plans, for almost
t very house had its sleighs and skaters,
smd those who were destitute of either,
united with some of their neighbors. An
hour, and the little lake was covered with
the merriest skating party that it had ever
witnessed. And tho supper, tho bonfire,
the song, the merry making. I shudder
to think of such boisterous sport, with im
1 ending death so very near. The sport
was over at length ; the apples eaten, tho
cider drank, the songs sung, the stories
told, and the once great llames among the
j osinous pine needles were nowjsniouldering
among the limbs or lingering in the stumps
nnd roots. And so the company was
breaking up into little knots as we came.
"Tie all the sleighs and sleds together,"
my strong friend shouted, tho last to leave
the spot. The order from our leader was
soon olieyed. Kach little vehicle was rang-
d from ten to tw enty feet apart, according
t o the length of ropes or leadinglines which
w e had; and three or four skaters were sta
tioned between them. Then, two much
longer ropes were stretched from Jcither
sides of the long lines, of which some twen
ty more skaters took hold. With a shout
and whoop, such as Indians give when
rushing to battle, we started on the ice. The
line, thtt straight or waving a little where
the poorer skaters were soon took the form
of a crescent ; and w ith a clamor of voices
and the grating of skate irons we sped over
the ice.
My strong friend and I were on one of
the sides ropes and we held the place near
evt to the sleighs. We had not proceeded
far before I perceived that the ice w as bend
ing up in front of us and I could scarcely
li;ar it crack, amid the noise of the skaters.
1 spoke not a word, but looked intently
into my companion's face. I ouly thought
ko long as we kept in motion, as we were
then doing. But I knew very well that
if the true state of allairs was discovered, a
panic would run along the line some ska
er would drop out, and then the sleighs
and their precious burdens must sink to the
bottoru.
1 cannot forget the horror of that mo
ment a moment that seemed an age. I
was faiut myself, but I only shuddered lest
skaters should fall. I could not speak, for
fear; but I almost feared lest the other voi
ces should stop and the cracking of the ice
should be heard by the women, who would
be sure to scream. My thoughts were on
Jod; my eyes were fixed on the face of my
friend. I was fairly drawn along up the
curving ice, that seemed to rise higher
before us every moment. Cold sweat was
on my forehead, but I could not loosen my
hand from the riic to wipe it off. Jly
friend noticed that I was lagging I who
was so exjert a skater. His eyes caught
mine, and by that sort of iutuitivc knowl
edge we sometimes have in time of great
dangers he became aw3rc of our dreadful
situation, heard the cracking of the ice
and saw it felt it rising in front of us.
What did the strong man do ? Flee like
a coward from the dangers he had brought
us to. and to escape to land? Did the alarm
seize him that had overpowered me? Far
otherwise. liaising his voice, so that it
could be heard above the din of the skaters
and the merry voices of tho women, he
shouted : "All sing, so we will keep Iwtter
slep ; all sing Coronation." And without
lowering Ins voice ho sang :
"All hail the power of Jesus' name !
Lt angt'ls prostrate fall !
liring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all !"
The order came so unexpectedly that few
joined in singing this verse ; but when he
came to the next stanza, almost all tho
voices were heard. I frit a sort of relief,
when the soprano, alto, tenor and bass voi
ces all struck the words
"Crown him, ye martyrs of our God,
Who from his altar call 1"
but I feared the time when the bass should
be left to carry a line alone. There were
but three or four bass voices in the whole
company, but my friend was numbered
among them, I saw he husbanded his
breath for this as a strong, great effort.
Nevertheless, I could hear alternating with
the musical words
"Extol the stem of Jesnle's rod."
the crack-crack-crack-crack-crack of the
brittle shell that was between us and eter-
tears flowed from his eyes us though he
were a child.

Fire Insurance.
The Mutual Plan guarantees to the mutually
insured the greatest security for the least pos
sible cost. The premium notes are the capital.
On this no dividends are paid to the stockhold
ers, but it is simply assessed to pay deficiencies
arising after the pa vment of losses and expenses
which in theCOLtlMIUA INSURANCE COM
PANY, during the total 12 years of its exist
ence, have averaged but 6tf per centum upon
the premium note, being lowr than the rates
pain in the best solvent stock companies during
tiie same period of time. In insuring at stock
rates, the insured must pronounce to himself
that he pays every year enough 1st. To form
a u accumulated fund for emergencies ; 2d. To
pay largo dividends to the capital invested in
tho Company; 3d. Runs the risk of a '"Chicago
fire" coming and wiping his Company out of
existence. In a Mutual Company he keeps bis
own reserve in hand until needed, and pays no
dividend to capitalists. The mutually insured,
being themselves the capitalists, look after the
business, its character and its agents in all
places, thus protecting each other.

A very spirited and interesting Mowing Match j
was held on the farm of C. II. Boat wick, Esq.,
near Compbellsport, in this county, on the 15th
inst. There was a large attendance of specta
tors, and more than ordinary Interest mani
fested in the friendly competition. An agree
ment had been entered into, between the par
tics representing the different machines, that
only Common Machines (such as are ordinarily
olTered for sale, and not made for special occa
sions) should be allowed to enter the contest,
each machine should mow on equal amount of
grass, and one team and driver should be used
for all, in order that the trial might be a fair
one, and the merits of the machines alone lay
claim to public favor. The ".Etxa" Mower,
made by the.ETNA Manufacturing Co. of Salem,
Ohio, for which Peter H. Dean appeared as
agent, proved to have the lightest draught, and
this, with its simplicity of construction and
beauty of design, combined with its powerful
cutting qualities, made it the favorite of the
day.
Captain A. T. King, of Charlcstown. was cho
sen as a committee to note the draught of each
machine, as indicated by a dyuamomcter, which
was found to be as follows:

AMERICAN CHAMPION WASHER I
the only Washing Machine in the market that
will do its work perfectly on all kinds of cloth

It washes without rubbing, rolling or press
ing the clothes in any way, and hence without
any wearing of the fabric.
It will wash anything, from the finest lace to
the heaviest bed-quilt.
It will do the same work in a shorter time and
with less labor than any other Machine made.
Any person desiring a Washing Machine can
have a Champion Washer'taktn to their resi

will be taken away without cost to them.

done by hand. We would not be without it for
double its cost. IHENKY FOSTEK, '
