GRATITUDE OF A SAILOR.—A remarkable instance
of gratitude occurred at this office yesterday: a young
man, about 19 years of age, appeared before the Ma-
gistrate, SAMUEL TWYFORD, Esq., and stated, that
about two years ago he was brought here for being
found wandering is the streets in the night time,
being destitute of home, clothes, and food, when the
worthy Magistrate (Mr. Twyford) being satisfied
that he was really distressed, most generously offered
to get him into the Marine Society, from which place
he was sent on board a man-of-war, where he had
remained up to the present time.
Mr. TwvFoRD—I very well remember the cir-
cumstance, and am glad to see you have made such
good use of your time; you now appear clean and
comfortable. Jack—Why, as for that, your Honour,
thanks to your goodness, I'm all right and tight
enough now ; I've plenty of grub, plenty of grog,
and a good hammock to lie upon. I called upon
your Honour about a twelvemonth ago, to thank you
for your kind-heartedness ; but your Honour was not
here. I've never had another opportunity of calling
until to-day ; and now I have not only come to thank
your Honour for your kindness, but to pay the five
shillings I borrowed of you to buy me a pair of shoes,
before I went to the Marine Society. Here it is,
your Honour, (offering two half-crowns)—never
mind a receipt.
Mr. TWYFORD—I did not lend you the five
shillings. I gave it to you out of the poor-box.
Jack—Then put it there again, that some other poor
devil may have the benefit of it,and I hope it will do
them as much good as it has done me.
Mr. TWYFORD—No, my good fellow, I shan't take
it ; you have worked hard enough for it, and your
good conduct renders you deserving of it. Jack—
Then you won't have it ?
Mr. TWYFORD —No, my boy, keep it yourself.
Jack—Well, I've taken your advice once, and it
turned out well, so I think I'll take it again, and
pocket the blunt.
Mr. TwvFoßD—Do, and take care of it. Who
told you to come here with the five shillings ? Jack.
Why I told myself; I didn't want any body to tell
me such a thing as that.
Mr. TwvFoßD—lt is an act of honesty, that does
you much credit, Jack—Why yes, your Honour,
I'm poor, but honest ; so I can but thank you for all
your kindness, and wish you good bye, if I don't see
you again.
Mr. TWYFORD—Good bye, my fine fellow, I
wish you well.
Jack was about to leave the office, but suddenly
turned back and said—l beg pardon, your honour,
hut I see some chaps writing summat down, now
don't let 'em put my name into the newspapers—
there's no occasion for that you know.
Jack's request was promised to be complied with,
and he joyfully left the Office.
