A Brave and Noble Boy.

The New York Sun gives chapter on
the "Heroisms of Humble Life" and ap-
ponds the following touching illustration
Perhaps the finest Of these modern in
stances occurred two weeks ago, on board
Of an English steamer. A little ragged
boy aged about nine was discovered, on
the fourth day Of the outward voyage
from Liverpool to New York, and carried
before the first mate whose duty it was to
deal with such eases. When questioned
as to the object of his being slowed away,
the boy, who had a beautiful sammy face,
and eyes that looked the very mirror Of
truth, replied that his stepfather did it be-
cause he could not afford to keep him. nor
to pay his passage out to Halifax, where
he had an aunt, who was well off, 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, be said,
and It was his firm conviction that the
boy had been brought ca board and pro-
vided with foed by the sailors. The little
fellow vas very roughly handled in con
sequence. Day by day he was question
ed and requestioned, but always with the
same result. He did not know a sailor on
board, and his father alone had secreted
him and given him the food which he ate.
At last the mate, wearied with the boys
persistence in the same story, and per-
haps little anxious to inculpate the sail
ors, seized him one day by the collar,
and dragging him to the fore, told him
that unless he confessed the truth, in ten
minutes from that time he would hang
him on the yard-arm. He then made
him sit down under it on the deck. All
around him were the passengers and sail
ors of the midday watch, and in front of
ulIQ SlOUO tut iucAOIdUl0 udte, Will LID
thermometer in his hand, and the other
officers of the ship by his side. 1t was
the finest sight, said our informant, that
we ever beheld, to see the pale, proud,
sorrowful face of that noble boy-his
head erect, his beautiful eyes bright
through the tears that suffusod them
When eight minutes had fed the mate
told him be had but two minutes to live,
and advised him to speak tae truth and
save his life, but he replied with the ut
most simplicity and sincerity BY asking
the mate if he might pray.
The mate said nothing, but nodded his
head, and turned pale as ghost, and
shook with trembling like reed with
the wind. And there, all eyes turued on
him, this brave and noble little fellow,
this poor waif, whom society owned not,
and whose own step-father could not care
for him-there he knelt, with clasped
hands and eyes uplifted to Heaven, while
he repeated the Lords Prayer, and pray
ed the Lord Jesus to take him to Heaven.
Our informant adds that there then &C.
CURED scene as Of Pentecost. Sobs broke
from strong, hard hearts as the mate
spraDg forward to the boy and clasped
him to his bosom and kissed him and
blessed him, and told him how sincerely
be believed his story, and how glad he was
that he had been brave enough to face
death and be willing to sacrifice his own
life for the truth Of his own word.

worms on Fruit Trees.

An experienced fruit-grower, who pos
seses beautiful orchard near the Niagara
River, Western New York, has used one
simple method with success. He takes
I've from leached ashes. mixes little grease
with it, heats it quite warm, and with
syringe throws it up into all parts of the
trees, branches and trunk. He says it
will, efeetually kill all caterpillars, all
kinds of worms that are either iofesting
the tree in nests or running over the
bark. Trees treated in, this manner were
exceedingly healthy. beautiful, vigorous
in appearance, possessed smooth, glossy
bark, and bore the best apples, of the
country. The remedy is easy and cheap.
