A REAL HERO---A SCENE ATT SEA,

! Two weeks ago. on board an English
steamer, little ragged boy, aged nine
years, was discovered On the fourth dav of
the outward voyage from Liverpool to New
! York, and carried before the first mate.
whose duty it was to deal with such cases.
When questioned as to the object of his
being slowed away, and who brought him
on board, the boy, who had a beautiful
sunny face, and eyes that looked like the
very mirrors of truth, replied that his step
father did it, because he could not afford
to keep him. nor to pay his passage out to
| Halifax, where he had an aunt who was
we'll OFT, and to whose house he was going.
The mate did not believe the story, in spite
of the winning face and truthful accents
OF the boy. He had seen too much of
stoWaways to be easily deceived by them,
he said and it was his firm conviction
that the boy had been brought on board
and provided with food by the Sailors
The little fellow was very roughly handled
IN consequence. Day by day he was ques-
toned and requestioned, but always with
the same result. He did not know a sailor
on board, and his father alone had Sc
GREETED him, and given him the food which
he ate.
At last the mate, wearied by the boys
persistence in the same story, and perhaps
u little anxious to inculpate the sailors,
seized him one day by the collar, and
dragging him to the fore, told him. that
unless he confessed the truth in ten min
utes from that time, he would hang him to
the yard arm. He then made him sit down
under it on the deck. All around him were
the passengers and sailors of the midday
watch, and in front of him stood the mex
orable mate, with his chronometer in his
hand, and the other officers of the ship by
his side. 1t was the finest sight, said our
informant, that we had ever beheld-to
see the pale, proud, sorrowful face of that
noble boy, his head erect, his beautiful
eyes bright through the tears that sutfused
them. When eight minutes had fled the
mate told him he had but two minutes to
live, and advised him to speak the truth
and save his life but he replied. with the
utmost simplicity and sincerity, by asking
the mate if he might pray.
The mate said nothing, but hooded his
head, and turned as pale as ghost. and
shook with trembling like a reed with the
wind. And there, all eyes turned on him
this brave and noble little fellow, this poor
waif whom society owned not, and whose
own stepfather could not care for him
there he knelt, with clasped hands and
eyes appraised to heaven, while he repeat
ed audibly the Lc rd's Prayer, and prayed
the dear Lord Jes Is to take him to Heaven
Our informant adds that there then oc-
Cured scene as of Pentecost. Sobs
broke from strong, hard hearts as the mate
sprang forward to the boy, and clasped
him to his bosom, and kissed him and
blessed him, and told him how sincerely
he now believed his story, and how glad
he was that he had been brave enough to
face death and be willing to sacrifice his
life for the truth of his own word.
