Italian begging.


Thomas Bailey Aldrlch tells this
in the January number Of the At
lantic Monthly;
1t is fair to observe that the
Italian beggar usually renders trio
ute to an abstract idea of manhood
by assuming that he has done you
some sort of service. This service
is not generally visible to the un-
aided eye, and / fancy that the
magnifying glass of sufficient power
to enable yOu always to detect it
has yet to'be invented, But it is
to his everlasting praise tnat no
often does try to throw q veil Of
decency over the naked Injustice
of his demand, though he is too
apt to be content with the thinnest
of fqbrics. | have paid a Neapoli-

DANGERS OF THE SEA.
Terrible sunsrings of a Schooner

Crew.
The Baltimore American of De-
cember IA, says:
Edward Parker, colored, steward

which sunk off Cherrystone light.
house during the gale of Saturday,
arrived in this city yesterday. He
was taken to the Maryland Uni
versity Hospital for treatment for
frozen hands and feet. He says
that during Saturday evening the
schooner gave a lurch and turned
bottom upward. All the crew sue
ceeded in crawling up on the bot
tom of the schooner and there they
passed the whole night in the most
terrible anxiety, hunger and pain
from wet and cold. At seven o'clock
Sunday morning the lighthouse
keeper succeeded in reaching them.
Henry j. Hogan, one Of the crew
of the Falcon, wrecked below
Queenstown on Saturday night, is
also at the hospital horribly frozen.
The Falcon, he says, was at anchor
off Hills point when the storm
commenced, but was dragged before
the hurricane almost to Queenstown,
During Saturday morning none of
us could get on deck, and the water
kept pouring in and filing the
schooner. About s o'clock they
had to lift the stove up on the table
to keep it out of the water, and at
3 o'clock, stiff, sore and almost
starving, we saw that we would
have to break through the ice and
get on deck or be drowned. Some
coffee was the only thing we had
put into our mouths since Friday
noon. After getting on deck Cap
tain Ravel made a fire. Charles
Burke said he could stand the cold
no longer, and attempted to swim
for shore. He died almost as soon
as he was taken out of the water.
At sundown Hogan started for
shore, feeling that he could not live
another night in the wind and wa
ter. After terrible suffering he
reached shore safely, and was taken
TO a farmhouse. The rest of the
crew NEXT morning were all able to
walk ashore on the ice. No one,
he said, can ever tell what we suf-
fered from hunger, thirst and cold
during the thirty-six hours.

virtues mysteriously blended; he
was completely secular, and SO in
tensely human that he necessarily
ignored the divine. Much that he
did was intolerable and inexcusable,
and yet his worst behavior was re-

and the flesh, but he surrendered
the devil, as he said himself, to the

he loved to drag the accepted sane

you may do what you like with the

he declared to be the weakness Of
