AN AWFUL SToRY.-Thoro was
an awfnl little girl vino had an
awful way Of saying lawful" to
everything. She livod in an awful
village, which was an awful dis
tance from every other awful
place. She went to an awful
school, where she had an awful
teacher, who gave hor awful
lessons out Of awful books. Every
day she was so awful hungry that
she ate an awful amount offood, so
that sho look awful healthy. Her
hat was awful small and her feet
were awful large. She went to an
awful church, and hor minister
was m awful prcachcr. When
she climbed awful hills, and when
sho got awful tired sho sat down
undcr an awful treo TO rest herself.
In summon sho found tho, weather
so awful hot, and in winter awful
cold, Whom it didn't rain, thcro
was an awful drought, and whom
tho awful drought was ovor, there
was an awful rain. So that this
awful girl was all tho time in an
awful state, and if she don't get
over saying lawful" about every
thing, ! am afraid she will. by and
by, como to On awful end.

\ Real Hero-A Scene at Sea.

"A Real HerO-A Scene at Sea.
Two weeks ago, on board an
English steamer, a little ragged
nlno years boy was discovered on
tho fourth day Of the outside voy-
ago from Liverpool to Now York,
and carried before the first mate,
whose duty it was to doal with
such cases. Whom questioned rs
to tho object Of his being slowed
away, and who brought him on
board, tho boy, who had beautiful
sunny face, and eyes that looked
like tho very mirrors Of truth, re.
piled that his step-tathor did it,
because he could not afford to
keep him. nor to pay his passage
out to Halifax, where he had IN
aunt who was well off, aud to
whose house he was going. Tho
mate did not believe the story in
spite of the winning face and
truthful accents Of tho boy Ho
had seen too much Of stow-nways
to be easily deceived by them, ho
said and it was his firm convic-
ton that tho boy had been brought
on board and provided with food
by the sailors. Tho little follow
was very roughly handled in con-
sequence. Day by day he was
questioned and requcstioncd, but
always with tho sumo result. lie
did not know a sailor on board,
and his father alone had searctod
him, and given him tho food
which he ate.
At last the mate, wcaricd by
the boys persistence in the same
story, and perhaps n little anx-
ious to incul pate the sailors, seized
him one day by tho collar, and,
dragging him to tho fore, told
him that unless ho confessed the
truth in ton minutes from that
timo he would hang him to tho
yard arm. IIo then made him
sit down under it on tho deck.-
All around him wcro tho passcn-
gers and sailors Of tho midday
watch, and in front of him stood
the incxorablo mato, with his
chronometcr in his hand, and the
other office Of tho ship by his
side. 1t was the finest sight, said
our informant, that wo had ever
beEcld--to see tho pale, proud,
sorrowful faco Of that noblo boy,
his head erect, lis beautiful
eyes bright through h Q
tears that sulfuscd them. When
eight minutes had fled tho :matc
told him he had but too minutes
to 1.-Two. and advised him to speak
tho truth and save his life but he
replied, with tho utmost simpIici-
ty and sincerity, by asking tho
mate if he might pray.
The mate said nothing, but nod
ded his head, and turned as pale
as ghost and shook with trcmb-
bling like reed with tho wind.-
And there, all eyes turned on him,
this brave and noble little fellow,
this poor waif whom society
owned not, and whose own step.

there he Inclt, with claspcd hands
and eyes upraIscd TO heaven, while
he repeated audibly tho Lords

Our informant adds that there
then occurred Il scene rs OF Pcntc-
cost. Sobs broke from strong,
hard hearts as the mate sprang
forward to the boy and claspcd
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 sac

A Wedding Race.

~ w 0Qul1lS NaCo.
Among the Huzanehs-ap people
of Asia-tho following is the way
weddings are managed:
The suitors Of tho maiden, nine
in number, appear in tho field, all
all unarmed, but mounted on the
bost horses they can procure !;
while the bride, horsolf, on u beau
tiful Turkoman horse, surrounded
by her relations, anxiously sur
veys the ground Of lovers. The
conditions Of tho bridal race are
| these. ,t
The maiden has certain start
given, which she avails herself to
gain sufficient distance from the
crowd to enable her to manage her
/ stood with freedom. 50 rs to assist
in his pursuit the suitor whom
she prefers. On signal from the
father, all the horsomen gallop
after tho fair one, and whichever
first succeeds in encircling her
waist with his arm, no matter
whether disagreeable or to her
choice. is entitled to claim her as
his wife.
After the usual delays incident
upon such interesting occasions,
the maiden quits The circle Of her
relations, and putting her stced
into hard gallop, darts into tho
open plain. When satisfied with
her position, she turns round to
tho impatient youths, and stretch
es out her arm toward them, rs if
TO WOO their approach. This is
tho moment for giving tho signal
to commence tho chase, and each
of the impatient youths, dashing
his pointed hcels into his coursors
sides, darts like tho unhooded
hawk in pursuit Of the fugitive
dove. The savannah is generally
extensive, say twelve miles long
and three in width, and as the
horsemen speed across the plain,
the favored lover soon becomes ap-
parent by the efforts Of the maid
en- to avoid all others who might
approach her.
- On a>certain. necasion. after two
hours racing, tho number Of pur-
sucrs were reduced to four, who
were altogether, and gradually
gaining on the pursued with them
is tho tavorite, but, alas his horse
suddenly fails in his speed, and.
as she anxiously turns her head,
sho perccives with dismay the
hapless position of hcr lover.
Each Of the moro fortunate lead
ers, eager with anticipated tri-
umph, bending his head upon his
horses mane, shouts at the top Of
his voice-"I come, my Peri I'm
your lovcrl" But she, making n
sudden turn, and lashing her horse
almost to fury, darts across their
path, and makes for that part of
the chummon (plain) where her
lover was vainly ondeavorlng to
to goad on his weary sleed. The
three others instantly check their
careor, but in tho hurry to turn
back, two Of tho horses arc dashed
furiously against each other, so
that both stccds and riders roll
over on the plain.
The maiden laughed, for she
well know sho could easily cludo
tho single horscman, and flow to
tho point where her lover was.
But her only pursuer was rarely
mounted, and not SO easily shake
off. Making a last and desperate
effort, he dashed alongside the
maidcn, and stretching ont his arm,
almost won tho nwilling prize ;
but she, bending her head to her
horses neck, cludcd his grasp and
wheeled off again. Fro tho dis
comfted horscman could again up
proach her, her lovers arm was
around her waist, and amidst tho
shouts Of tho spectators they
turned toward tho fort.
