Harry the Little Boatman.

Harry Wilson was born on the seaside
at fishing village near the mouth Of =
large river. He grew up almost As much
on the water as on the land. He conld
swim almost as soon as he could walk and
could use an oar almost before he was
strong enough to lift one from the ground.
This was fine As play, but one day
there was gloom in the little fisherman's
cabin. All were weeping. Harry's good
brave f4thsr was dead. and he was left
alone with his poor mother.
When the funeral was over and affairs
were settled up, the share in the fishiag
smack was sold and everything that the
widow could not use for her support.
They were going to sell good boat,
bat when this was talked Of, Harry step.
ped up.
Nov, here,,' says he; Il am little
chap, l know, and am not very strong,
bat l must do something to help mother.
and l want that boat"
"What can you do with it!'
"Why, there is no one here 10 carry
people across, aud lots Of people come
and have to wait an hour or more till
some one has time to carry them over"
"But you couldn't row them."
Cant l, indeed! Why, this week I
have run at least ten miles trying to hunt
up old Jake to row folks over; 50 yester-
day, instead Of wasting my time, pulled
Of my cap mighty polite to gentleman,
and asked him to step into our bost."
"Why, yoa didn't undertake to row
him across, did you :" A..,
"Certainly, and rowed him spleudidly.
ae asked me lot Of questions, and I
told him all about Us. He saw I was
able 10 manage the boat, and gave me
dollar, as he said, to encourage me. |
took Carlo along, for / thought If squall
did come on, and couldn't manage, his
bark would 60 further than my hail, and
if l tumbled over he'd pick me up"
All agreed Harry had the courage and
energy to get ahead, and every one knew
hs could manage boat /; so all summer
long he was at bis post. BE fixed white
flag to pole At each side, and when he
was wanted on the side on which he did
not happen to be, they raised the flag and
he was over like rocket.
He made his mother'e burden lighter
BY his work and her heart lighter BY his
happy cheerful disposition and his uni
form good conduct.

were born. Finding that third little
stranger was in prospect, her heart failed her
com letely and she took powerful enema
gogue. which resulted in her death. Her
father hearing of her distress, relented
and came to her relief, but to find that she
was dead. He then wanted to know where
she was buried, that he might take her body
home and bury 1t there. The husband eyaded
answering, until the father, losing patience,
threatened him with arrest IL he did not dis
close the place Of burial. At length the mise
rable dog confessed that he had sold his
wife's body to surgeon for five dollars, and
had spent the money for whisky and cigars.
