the time OF this disaster, consisted Of small
bag Of meal. muske1, powder.hOrn, twelve
charges Of ammunition, an axe, a knife, small
kettle, stove, piece of Iouchwood, tobacco
box and four pipes. The men were not over

Of powder and ball procured them as many rein.

An Interesting Story

DIR. Kane, already widely known as
one of the heroes who sailed i'll search of
Sir John Franklin with Mr.. GrinnelIs EX-
petition, has led life Of uneXampLed ad-
venture, as the following account OF IT, up
to his departure upon the Arctic ExPe-

countered any narrative so thrilling. Why
may we not hope for book from Dr.
Kane, comprising his remarkable eX-
perlence
No American, of his age, has ever seen
50 much of the perils of the world or oi
the world itself. He was Surgeon OF the
American Legation in China, and on his
way to the Celestial regions, he spent
some weeks on foot tramp through the
orange groves of Brazil and about amonth
in tiger hunting near Bombay. Hence
after a dozen unsuccessful attempts 10

Story for Boys

It is related of Persian mother, that on
giving her son forty pieces Of silver as his
portion, she made him swear never to tell
lie, and said Go, my son, eonsign thee
10 God, and we shall never meet again TIL
the day of Judgement
The youth went away, and the party he
travelled with was assaulted by robbers
One fellow asked the boy what he had got,
and he said forty dinars are sewed up in
my garments
He laughed, thinking he jested-
Another asked him the same question,
and received the same answer.
AT last the chief called him, and asked
him the same question, and he said have
told two of your people already that have
forty dinars sewed up in my clothes.
He ordered the clothes to be ripped open
and found the money.
And how came you to tell this ? sald
The chief
Because replied the child, | would
not be false 10 my mother, TO whom pro
missed never to tell lie
Child said the robber, art thou so
mindful of thy duty to thy mother at thy
wears, and am | msensble at my age OF the
duty owe to God Give me thy hand
that l may swear repentance on it He
did so and his followers were all struck
with the scene.
You have been our leader in guilt,
said they to the chief, be the same IN the
path of virtue ) and they instantly made
restitution of the spoils, and vowed repent
ance on the boys hand.
There is a moral in this story which
goes beyond the direct influence of The
mother on the child. This noble sentiment
infused into the breast of the child is again
ransiused from breast 10 breast, till those
who feel it know not whence 1t came.
