Among the cases Of suffering by the wreck, in
1886, of the vessel in which the Siame5c embassy
to Portugal was embarked, few have stronger claims
to pity than that Of the captain. He was man of
rank sprung from Of the first families in Portu-
gal he was rich and honorable, and had long COM
mantled ship in which he rendered great service
to the king his master, and had given many marks
of his vaor and fidelity. The captain had carried

FLIAL AFFECTION-A TRUE STORY

FIIIAL AFFECTiON-A TRUE STORY.
III great seaport in one OF the most distant pro-
vinces of France, there lived a merchant who had
carried on trade with equal honor and prosperity,
until he turned of fifty years of age and then,
by sudden series of unexpected and unavoidable
losses, found himself unable to comply with his en-
paeenents and his wife and children, in whom he
placed his principal happiness, reduced into such a
situation, as doubled his distress,

" on her and on the bright folds Of that gay orna-
ment alternately "and smiled and looked, and
smiled and looked again" For time she wore it
in every party and was the envy of her less foru
nate companions, and although when the first Won
der wore away they rdiculed it little, and remark
cd that Mary's wedding and outfit was only ten
times more costly to her father than it would have
been had she never seen the chain, that it made
fine clothes necessary to correspond with 1t, &c,
vet it was easily seen that the young married cou-
pie bore themselves more stately, and with more
self complacency than usual, on its account, and
he Young bride even showed some symptoms of
superior importance towards her husband, and these
proved that she at least did regard what others
might say or think.
Time passed away the young people began the
world gcnteely-but things did not prosper WE'LL
The mistress of such golden chain could not de-
scend to the entire level Of usefulness and industry
IN family matters. The husband became infected
With sundry notions of gentIty, notaltogether COM
Datiblc with his circumstances. The chain became
a sinking fund. 1t brought one expense after ano-
tber, and yielded proit-for it was present and
could not be scotland it turned out in the end
rlinous affair One of the last recolectons assocl-
ated with Mary and her partner, Is the sale OF the
golden chain, by the constable for store debt,
containing many all item of silk and satin and all
the ct ceteras of extravaganza They left the coun
Try soon after, in poverty and modification.
The story is short and leaves the greater room
for improvement Whenever see poor person
wrapped up in family pride, and holding his head,
full of notions of quality, in lofty dleness above
the common class, cannot help thinking of the
golden chain, and the consequences that grew out
of its possession.
When see a young lady, remarkably handsome,
or accomplished, and priding herself on the one
or the other fear the lad who catches her will
catch golden chain into the bargain.
1t is somewhat questionable, whether, under any
circumstances, life Of idleness is an innocent lte.
He who is not engaged in some useful employment,
cannot certainly fulfil the duty every one owes to
society and his maker No elevation, no wealth, no
rank, can be disgraced by labor. So the great Gin
cinnatus thought A mistake has in our days crept
INTO very high company, viz Industry IS consider
ed disgraceful and Idleness, honourable-the re-
verse is the motto of wisdom.

with the most intense anxiety over his safety on
the wreck of the ship, and during the march to the
Cape, he caused him to be carried by his slaves
At length all the slaves having persisted, or being
SO weak that they could not drag themselves along,
this poor youth was obliged to trust to his
strength: but became reduced and feeble, that
having laid him down to rest on rock, he was I'M
able to rise again. His limbs were stiff and swollen,
and he lay stretched at length, unable to bend
Joint The sight struck like dagger to his fathers
heart; he tried repeatedly to recover him, and by
assisting him to advance few steps, supposed that
the numbness might be removed but his limbs
refused to serve him. he only dragged along,
and those whose aid his father mplored, seeing
they could do no more, frankly declared, that if
they carried HIM they must themselves perish.
The unfortunate captain driven to despair
Lifting his son his shoulders, he tried to carry
him; he could make but single step, when he
fell to the ground with his son, who seemed more
distressed with his fathers grief than with his own
suherings. The heroic boy besought him to leave
him to die the sight, he said Of his fathers tears
and Affections infinitely more severe than the
bodily pain he endured. These words, far from
inducing the captain to depart, melted him more
and more, until he at last resolved to die with his

THE LADIES' GARLAND.

His sole resource in this sad situation was the re-
Election, that, upon the strictest review OF his own
conduct, nothing either of imprudence or iniqulty
appeared He thought best, therefore, to repair to
Paris in order to lay true statement OF his affairs
before his creditors, that being convinced of his no.
nesty they might be inducedto pity his msfortunes,
and allow him a reasonable space Of time to settle
his affairs. He was kindly received by some and
very civilly by all Prom whence he received
great hopes, which he communicated to his family;
but these were speedily dashed by the cruelty of
his principal creditor, who caused him to be arrest
ed and put to gaol. As soon as this melancholy
event was known in the country, his eldest son, who
was about 10 years DID, listening only to the dictates
of fllia piety came post to Paris, and threw himself
at the feet of the obduratc creditor, to whom he
painted the distress of the family in the most pa
thetc terms, but without effect. At length in the
greatest agony of mind he said, "S Sire, since YOU
think nothing compensate for your loss but
victim, let your resentment deyove on me. Letme
suffer instead Of my father and the mlseres OF
prison will seem light in procuring the liberty OF a
parent, to console the Of the distressed and
distracted family | have left behind me. Thus, Sir,
you will CRAFTY your vengeance, without sealing
their irretrievable ruin" And here his tears and
signs stopped his utterancc. His fathers creditor
beheld him upon his knees, in this condition, for
full quarter of an hour. He then sternly babe him
rise and sit down, which he obeyed. The gentle
man then walked from one corner of the room to
the other in great agitation of mind for about the
same space Of time. At length, throwing his arms
around the young mans neck, 81 find" said he,
"there is something more valuable than money
