IN. Row who woulan,t Tell Lie.

Some DAYS after one of the English
steamers had left Liverpool not long ago,
a bright looking boy, about eight years
old. was found aboard who had been con-
cealed in the vessel since she lett port
(which, by the way, is quite common
occurrence.) He was questioned by the
officers as to how he came there. he
stated that he was an orphan, and had an
aunt living in Halifax, and that his uncle
in Liverpool being poor and unable to
support him, he had hid him in the yes
sci Just before sailing, so that he might
20 to Halifax and live with his aunt. 1t
seemed like the old story to the officers
of the vessel, and they accused him OF
being helped by the crew, and tried their
utmost by coaxing and threatening to
have him divulge that some OF the sailors
had taken him aboard and given him
food. But they availed nothing-the
little fellow would tell no other story.
At last one of the officers, feeling sure
that the boy was deceiving him, seized
him BY the arm with the remark, I'm
going to make you tell the TRUTH" and
taking him to what they call the bridge,
SAID, III OUt Huii muir 4 euhii hhht you
unless you tell which sailor has been
feeding you" 1t was no use--the boy
would not lie; and when the officer told
him sternly that he had only two min
utes to live, the little fellow asked, Sir,
may pray ?'--and Immediately sunk on
his knees, and lifting his little hands in
an attitude of prayer, slowly repeated
the Lords Prayer, amidst the upturned
faces of the passengers and crew of the
vessel, who had anxiously been watching
the result of the officer's experiment.
This sight was too much for their doubts,
and caused most affecting scene. The
apparently rough officer burst into tears,
and caught the little fellow in his arms
and Rugged him as though in reality he
had just escaped death. After this event,
the boy was young hero in the ship.
He was. praised and treated with dain-
ties, each one being anxious 10 do some
thing for him; and when he arrived |
in Halifax be was taken by the same
officer who had doubted him and fitted |
with q nice suit of clothes, and carried |
to his aunt, with hearty Gods blessing
for his future career.

agreement arose between them, and the
young man walked hastily away. The
ycung woman soon went in search OF
hin, and found that be had climbed a
tree, and banged himself by his handker-
chief. Nobody was near the spot, and
the girl at once climbed the tree and cut
her lover down, but she had no knife
with her, and the only way by which she
eould effect her object was by biting
ihrcash the kno,ted handkerchief. This
with some dificslty she succeeded in
doing, and the foolish boy fell on the

thea succeeded in getting assistance, and
be was taken TO the Bristol Infrmary,
