Lie Never. sE

! Not long ago, on board an English
fsteamer, four days out from Liverpool
a small boy was found hid away be-
! hind the cargo. He had neither father
nor mother, brother nor sister, friend
nor protector among either passengers
or crew. Who was he? Where did
he come from? Where going? Only
nine years old, the poor little stranger,
with ragged clothes, but q beautiful
! face, full of innocence and truth. OF
course, he was carried before the first
mate. -rHnraHa e% sH ..ra.-..r
- How came you to steal passage
/ on board this shIp?" asked the mate,
sharply.
My step-father put me in, y answer
ed the boy. He said he could not af-
| ford to keep rne or pay my passage to
/ Halifax, where my aunt lives. ] want
! to go to my aunt"
| The mate did not believe this story.
He had often enough been deceived by
stowaways. Almost every ship bound
| to this country finds, one or two days
out to sea, men or boys concealed
among the cargo, trying to get a pas
/ sage across the water without paying
( for it. And this is often troublesome as
we'll as expensive. The mate suspected
some of the sailors had a hand in the
little boys escape, and he treated him
pretty roughly. Day after day he was
questioned about his coming, and it
was always the same story, nothing
less, nothing more. At last the mate
got out of patience, as mates will, and
seizing him Oy the collar, told him,
unless he confessed the truth in ten
minutes he would hang him on the
! yard-arm. A frightfuI threat indeed I!
Poor child, with not a friend to stand

and sailors of the midday watch, and
before him the stern first officer with
his watch in his hand, counting tick

eyes but afraid? no, not a bit
/ Eight minutes were already gone.

cried the mate. "Speak the truth and
save your life, boy!''
p" May / pray?" asked the child,
4 looking up into the hard mans face.
The officer nodded his head, but said
nothing. The brave boy then knelt
down on the deck with hands cIasped
Land eyes raised to heaven, repeated the
Lords Prayer, and then prayed the
dear Lord Jesus to take him home to
heaven. He could die; but Iie-lcUer!
All eyes were turned toward him, and
sobs broke from stern hearts.
~ The mate could hold out no longer.
Hessprang to the boy, took him in his
arms, kissed him; and told him he be-
lieved his story, every word of it. a
nObler sight never took place on a
ships deck than this-a poor, unfriend-
ed child willing to face deathfor truths
sakei
