A HeotLnE Scene.

The New York SsR gives the following atIect-
ing account Of recent occurrence OF a very Af-
techng character, which took place On an Eng
llSh steamer:
A little ragged bov, aged nine years, was dis
covered on tho fourth day OF the oatward voy-
age from Liverpool To New York, and carried
before the first mate, whose duty it was To deal
with such cases. When questioned as 10 the
object Of his being slowed away, and who
brought him on board, the boy, who had beau
tiful, sunny face, aud eyes that looked like the
worry mirrors Of truth, replied that his stepCath-
er 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 well "a, aud 10
whose house he was going, The mate did not
believe the story, In spite os the winning face
aud truthful accents OG the bny. lie had seen
too much OF st0w-aways to be easily deceived
by them, he said aud II was his firm conviction
that the boy had been brought Ou board And
provided With food by the sailors. The little
follow was very roughly handled in eonse-
quence, Day by day he was questioned aud ~.
questioned, but always with the samu result.
lie did not know sailor on board, aud his faith
er alone had sccrcted him and given him the
food which he ate.
At last the mate, wearicd by the boy's per.
sisteuce in the same story. aud perhaps little
anxious TO ineulpa.e the sailora, seized him by
the collar aud dragging him to the fOre, told
him that unless he confessed tho truth In tea
minutes from that time he would hang hiM ON
the yard arm. He then made him sit down nn-
der il on the deck. All around him were the
passengers Of the midday watch, aud iu front q;
him stuod the memorable mate, with his ehro.
nometer IN bis hand, aud the other officers Of toe
ship by his side. Il was the incsl sight, said oul
informant, that We ever beheld, ~ see the pale
proud, sorrowiul face OF that noble boy-hi,
head erect, his beautiful eyes bright througt
the tears that had hed, the mate tnld him hs
had but two minutes t. live, aud advised him Il
Nspsak the truth and save his lite but he repli
| cd, with the utmost simplicity aud sincerity, D,
asking the mate IL he mightp pray.
The mate SAID nothing, but nodded bis head
and turned as pate as a ghost, aud shook will
/ trembling like a reed with the wind Aud there
all eyes turned on him, this brave and mob
1 fellow, this poor wait whom society owned MI
aud whose own stepIather c,,uld not carp fn
nim-thsre he knelt with elasped hands, an,
eyes appraised 10 heaven, while he repea eated aud
IDLY the Llrd's Prayer, aud pray ell the dear Lor
jesus to take him 10 heaven,
Our informant adds that there then occurred
scene as OF peoteeost Sobs broko from stronI
hard hearts, as th5 an Ite sprAng forward n III
boy aud elaspsd him " his bosom. aud kiSse
him aud blessed him, and told him how sineerS
ly he now believed his story, aud how glad
was that he had been brave enough 10 fac
death aud be willing to sacrifice his lite tor lh
truth OF hts own word.
