The Alfrad.


A cable has been received at New York
from Port Spain, Trinidad, saying: ''Alfred
not arrived; duplicate her cargo" This cable
gives her one hundred and two days from date
of sailing. The owners and underwriters
think there is but very little chance for her or
hope of ever hearing from her, although many
years ago vessel sailing from ST. Stevens for
the same port was one hundred and five days
ON the passage and arrived safely. Those best
acquainted with those voyages think that the
only chance for the saving of the crew is that
possibly they may have been taken off from
the Alfred after she was disabled.
Capt. Keazer's friends have the sympathy of
his wide circle of acquaintance, particularly
that of the owners of the Alfred. Their busi-
ness transactions with him had been pleasant,
and they considered him very promising
young man.

Associated Charities.

Associated Charities.
As an instance of what Associated Charities
are doing In other cities the following little in
cident from the Boston Advertiser will be in
teresting:
very cold, saying he was hungry, and would
give him something to eat. ''Where do you
live?" I asked. "My mother lives a long way
Of from here, near CharlAstown." triad to
think what to do, remembering the strict
rules against street beggary; and for the bene-
6t OF Others in like strait will say what did
and what good came of it. / went with the
child to tho corner grocery, for we were too
far from any OF the temporary homes to make
them available, and gave him as much bread
and milk as he would eat. He was not very
hungry--not hungrier than an active child a.
ways may be at o'clock who has been out of
doors since dinner While he was eating his
supper / got from him the address Of his
parents, which l ssnt at once by mail to the
registration office, room Al, Charity building.
This address was Immediately forwarded TO
the branch of the Associated Charities working
in the district where his parents lived. They
were discovered and put uuder surveillance
with regard TO their children, who can by the
laws Of Massachusetts, be taken from them if
they prove themselves unfit" to care for and
educate their offspring. BY this method was
sure the little fellow did not go hungry
that afternoon and for the future that
he would be kept from street begging, with a
chance of making good man some day, In
stead of helpless, lifelong pauper.
A law like the Massachusetts, law with re.
gard to children sent upon the street to beg is
greatly needed in our State. This law pro-
vides that children may be taken from in
temperate or brutal parents or guardians who
are unable or unfit to care for and educate
them. and placed in homes where they can be
properly taken care Of aud educated. 1t is to
be hoped that q similar law will be presented
TO our Legislature at its coming session.

Buried Treasure.

Upon time-I do not know
Exsctly when. but long ago
A man whose riches were untold,
Silver and precious stones and gold.
Within an Eastern city dwelt;
But not O moments peace he felt,
For fear that thieves should force his
door,
And rob him Of his treasured store.
In spite Of armed slaves on guard,
And doors and windows locked and
barred,
His life was one continual fright;
He hardly slept wink by night.
And had 30 little rest by day
That be grew prematurely gray.
At last he dug a mostrous pit
To hold mis- wealth, and buried it
By night, alone; then sm0othed the
ground
60 that the spot could not be found.
But be gained nothing by his labor;
A curious. prying, enyious neighbor,
Who marked the hiding, went and told
The Sultan where to find the gold.
A troop of soldiers came next day
And bore the boarded wealth away.
Some precious jewels still remained,
For which goodly price was gained,
Then left the city. quite by stealth,
To save the remnant OF his wealrh;
Butnow. by hard experience taught,
A better way to keep it sought.
Broad lands he bought, and wisely titled
With fruits and grain his barns ne filled
He used his wealth with liberal hand;
His plenty flowed through all the land;
And. hid no longer underground,
Spread honest comfort all around.
Thus calm and prosperous pass the
years,
Till on q fated day he hears
The Sultan's mandate, short and dread
sPresept thyself or lose thy head"
Fearful and trembling, he obeys,
For Sultans have their little ways,
And wretches who affront their lord
Brave bastinado, sack or cord.
Before the dreaded throne he bowed
Where sst the Sultan, grim and proud,
And thought, my head must surely fall,
And thea my master will seize all
NV -ealth again." But from the throne
There came q calm and kindly tone:
sMy SON, well pleased am / to see
Thy dealings In prosperity;
Nav Allah keep thee in good healthl
Well hast thou learned the use OF
wealth.
No longer buried underground,
It's comforts spread to all around.
The poor mans blessing on thy name
Are better far than worldly fame.
called thee hither. Now, behold,
Here are the silver, gems and gold
took from thee in other days;
Receive them back, and 60 thy ways,
For thou hast Learned this truth at
last
Would that Il might be sown broad
casti--
That riches are but worthless pelf,
When boarded only for ones self"
