A CAPTIVE IN THE SouTz Seas
Australia is ringing with the story
OF Luigi Boero, lately rescued from
the South Sea sayages. Captain Nc
Laughlin, who explored the Solomon
group, discovered q white man naked
among the savages at Bonka Island.
and counted seventy war canoes, each
containing forty armed sayages. Af-
ter considerable stratagem he got
alongside a canoe containing the
white man, who was ultimately. with
some difficulty and danger, ransomed
for three American hatchets. He
was an Italian named Luigi Boero, and
had been for fifteen months a captive
with the savages. When be found
he was about to be liberated he EN-.

Why the insignificant pronoun above
written was invariably used to desig-
nate a woman Of such fine peTs0nelle
was one Of the unsolved mysteries to
the good people of 3.
But though a mystery, it was new
ertheless a fact; for while Mr.. Hazlett
had been won't to speak Of his first
wife Familiarity as "Bess." he always
referred to his second choice as ''she."
When farmer Hazlett brought home
his second wife there was much shak-
ing Of wise heads, and gloomy sighs
for the memory Of the gentle wife so
speedily forgotten, many forebodings
and prophecies about the ultimate
fate Of the poor children, now under
the proyerbial iron Of a step-moth-
er.
These children, be it remembers, d
were examples of infantile ignorance
and childish worthlessness, held up by
pious parents after much the same
fashion of the mythical Ounce in q
backwoodsschool to be pitied, laughed
at, and held aloof from; to be talked
Of in whispers as q disgrace to the
neighborhood. that suck ignorance and
rudeness could exist in its charmed
precinctB.
Their ignorance was deplorable.-
And though the children were Miracles
rudeness, it was alone from neglect
that they were so.
They had been allowed to run loose.
and grew up wild as savages, as q
matter Of course. For the farmer was
interested in no earthly pursuit Of
pleasure, but the growth and improve
ment of his South Downs, his Suffolk
pigs and Alderney cows, and his
trained horses and dogs. Too indo-
lent, when he came into the house to
rest, to utter word of expOstulation
to his noisy children, they, went un-
chided for their rudeness, and were
untaught in the simplest things.
And his poor over-worked wife,
whose fingers were so busy, and body
so tired, she had not the spirit to
teach them, the strength to correct,
but worked her way through the tur-
moil laboriously; for the neighbors had
been wont to observe that she had no
knack Of arranging her work, though
che did it well. And so it happened,
her rest never came, till the pulseless
hands could no longer work.
To be sure, the children went to the
district school when they pleased, and
stayed at home when they willed.-
But the little they learned there was
forgotten during the long vacations.
Besides, they did not like the
school, and the scholars shank away
from them. This avoidance was due,
in part, to their savage way of play
ing but more from an aversion,
which sprang up from this occurrence.
