Sow a Good, ship 'Was Lost'

On the night of October 27th, 1842, the good ship "Mary Oompton," of Bristol, England, was struggling with a fearful gale off the coast of North America, The wind blew furiously, but the weather was clear, and the Captain expected every moment to get sight of the light in the lighthouse on the Iron Bock Shoals. This lighthouse marked the entrance to the harbor. Once, there, and they were safe. Sure of his position, he sailed on confidently. Five minutes later the ship struck with a fearful shock and went to piecos. Four men, including the Captain, were sayed. On reaching the shore they found a strange thing had happened, An enemy of the lighthousekeeper had bound him hand and foot and the light. Souls, as well as ships, steer my the lights. Hope is the most import lighthouse in the wo/ld. What shall be said of the man who darkens it in the face of a storm-tossed spirit ? " You are beyond human aid." These. words were said by a physician to a woman who had come to consult him. Admitting that he thought so, had he the right to say so ? No j for he might be wrong and in any case he had no business to put out the light. The woman had been ill for some time. In June, J 889,, she was greatly alarmed by her symptoms. Her heart palpitated, and she was so giddy she could scarcely stand. Her head whirled "and," she said, ''all objects seemed to go into a cloud." She had to hold herself up or sit down for fear of falling. She broke out in a Bweivt although cold as death. dreadful cough ranked her fri;uio go that she could not lie d own in bed and sleep. *' I could scarcely crawl about the houso," she says, " I was so weak. 1 tried different remedies and roesi<>i®es without avail. 1 went to the Dispensaiy at New Briggatp and the doctor to fflll uiq the worst. His answer was, ' I have mixed' you some medicine ; you oan take it or leave it. I took it for llireo weeks, then gaye up in despair. "1 talked with two other physicians. The last one said, ' You are past human aid.'
