for the noble youth who ha not only been
the direct agent of saving our ship and
crew. but who had also the moral courage
to do his duty, even though it brought
ont the leer and scUff of his companions
against him.
The widowed mother hal followed her

In due time we arrived at Calcutta with
out further trouble, and from that evening
of recollection, heard not a profane worJ
or ribald Jest fall from the lips of Captain
Savage. lie was a better and a happier
man, Legrand was urged most strongly
to join the army, but his love for his moth
CT restrained him. He settled his fathers
business, and he and his mother returned
to England with me. Three years after he

subsequently the husl and procured a
boarding house for his wife and called oc-
clsionly to see her, but TO all her entreat-
les to be allowed to see her children he
turned deaf ear. At length driven to
desperation she determined to follow him,
and ~ he was about leavin her at the close
OF one of his visits she put on her bonnet
and informed him of her design. he ar
sued, expostnlaied and threatened, but to
no etiect--go with him she would. For a
long time he walked up one street and
down another, out at length when he found
it impossible to shake her off, he told her
that ii she was determined to go, she must
but that she would regret it. She replied
that she would not suffer any greater ago
ny of mind that she had already endured,
and shortly hereafter she found herself in
the presence Of her little ones, and the de-
stroyer of her happiness. The meeting
between the eldest daughter and the moth
er was affecting in the extreme. For a
moment the poor woman forgot all her sor-
row in her JOY at once more beholding her
children, but she was soon brought to a
sense of her condition by the housekeeper,
who commanded the husband to drive her
from the house. Fired with indignation,
the wife rctorted by demanding the keys
of the establishment. The husband mean
while was apparently stricken dumb and
knew not which way to turn, but at length
he fled the premises leaving the h"usekeep-
er few at her former mistress with the
ferocity OF tigress and drove her from the
house.
1t was but few days after the above
scene, that the husband again called upon
his wife, and he then informed her that he
hsd sought out and had a conversation
with the young man who had accompa-
MED her hither from Europe-that he( the
young man, twas anxious to make her his
wiie--that not only was greatly attached
to her, but that he was highly respectable,
and abundantly able to provide for her;
and that if she would divorce herself and
marry him she should have her children.
and he would never trouble her more
Her mother-in-law and the rest of her
friends, as well as her former lover him
self, added their entreaties to those of the
, husband, and at length, fearing that if she
persisted to, he would steal her children
from her, she consented-the divorce was
obtained and she was q second time mar.
ricd. The understanding was that tho
children were to be given up to her on the
q morning succeeding the marriage. but te
| her dismay she learned, upon making ap
plicaton for them, that her faithless first
consort had started some hours previously
for distant city. accompanied by the
, housekeeper and her the wife's )children
She also learned, for the first time, that
| the guilty couple had been married some
three months before.

TIE RIFLE PITs.-The Crimca CORES
pondent of the London Times explains
these new species Of Notifications as fol-
lows:
"Thesc rife pits, which have cost both
armies such quantities Of ammunition, ard
have led to so considerable sacrifice on
the part Of our allies, are placed in front
and to the right and left OF the Tower of
Malakoff, about 600 yards from our works,
They are simple excavations in the ground,
faced round with sand bags. which are
loopholed for rifles, and banked round
with the earth which has heen thrown up
from the pits. Each of these Pits contain
about ten men. They are, in fact, little
forts OF redoubts for offensive proceedings
against the besiegers, armed with rifles in
stead of cannon. Practice has made the
men placed in them expert, and it is likely
they are picket shots, for their fire is ex-
ceedingly good, and if man shows for
moment above the works in front Of these
pits he has small swarm of leaden hor-
nets buzzling round his ears. At first
there We're only two Of these pits in the
particular spot Of which am speaking
After the enemy recovered possession of
them the first time. they dug two more,
and now they have increased the number
to six, so that the rilemen which they hold
is about sixty men. After the french were
obliged to retire on Saturday morning the
Russians reoccupied these pits, and kept
up q continual fusillade against every OBJ
ject which appeared to have life in it to-
wards the French right. They were so
we'll covered and and admirably protected
by the nature Of the ground that our rife
men could do nothing with them, and the
French shatpshooters were equally unsuc-
cessful 1t was determined to try round
shot or two at them from one Of the Eng
lish batteries. The first shot struck down
a portion of the bank of one of the pits,
the second went slap into the sandbags,
right through the parapct, and out of the
other side, and the rihemen ignorant of Sir
John Burgoynes advice to men similarly
situated to adhere the more obstinately to
their work, the more they are fired at by
big guns, 'bolted' and ran across to their
works." 6 ea>

ZOO Poor 10 Pay.

ZOO Poor TO Pay.
We were so poor when baby died,
And mother stitched his shroud,
The others in their hunger cried.
With sorrow wild and loud!
We were so poor we could not pay
The man to carry him away
l see it still before my eyes;
1t lies upon the bed,
Andmother whispered through her sighs
1.-The little boy is dead"
A little box Of common pine,
His coffin was-and may be mine.
They laid our little brother out,
And wrapped his form in white,
And, as they turned his head about,
We saw the solemn sight;
And wept as little children weep,
And kissed the dead one in his sleep!
We looked our last upon his face
And said our last goodbye"
While mother laid him in the place
Where those are laid who die;
The sexton showed the box away,
Because were too poor to pay!
We were too poor to hire a hearse,
And couldn't get pail:
And when we drove him to the grave
A wagon held US all;
Twas l who drove the horse, and
Who ,oll my mother not to cry.
We rode along the crowded town,
And felt 50 lone and drear,
And oft our tears came trickling down,
Because no friends were near.
The folks were strangers, selfish men,
Who hadn't lost baby then!
Wereachel the grave and laid him there
With all the dead around;
There was no priest to say prayer,
And bless the holy ground
So home we went III grief and pain;
But home was never home again.
And there he sleeps without stone
To mark the sacred spot;
But though to all the world unknown,
BY us It's ne'cr forgot
We mean to raise stone some day,
But now we are too poor to pay!
