 .sYes Sir" I answered. "It was on board the pirate ship, and was one of the pirate.

 HYoune man." he said, 'ssay not such a word as that, lest the birds of the air carry the secret into the kings chambers. Only. last week six young men, Justly and hopeful as yodrself, were hung In chains at Execution Dock for piracy. We have suffered much from pirates for many months past. and the country longs for more blood"

 ''It is enough that you own yourself pi- rate. They would hang you first and try you afterward, if they had time aud fnciihation to try you, after they had once hanged you" T Gradually the knowledge and recpllection of me came back to Dr. Anderson. He re- membered distinctly that had serve him and

 s'How we escaped know not, he said, re- ferriug to that awful night ofthe storm and of our own shipwreck, .'except by the4 special mercy of Heaven The very storm that hurl- ed us forward drove us to heaven of safely. We saw before us tall awful peak, and we went onward as Icing the only possible safety for US. And wonderful to say, we were saved through many hours of tempest and brought into smooth water just benefit, thez~peaks sslt1 seemed to be an island of call,s for, y although we met no human belngs there, we found seeds and fowls, poultry, swine. and a little hut. We remained there for seven months, when g ship came in to water and took us away. And I lett there some medicines and Q compass and the box of cordials which you yourself had put in the boat, that 1 might not receive all and give nothing. ~gAad you 2" he asked.
 Then told him. the marvellous story -of the education which had received from the Jes- uits. And he marveled greatly, that a. poor cabin boy should have, been thus trained and instructed With infinite care and curiosity he made me render the tale of my small &C., quirements. He was good enough to say that I need only go to fsmous London hospital endowed by a good bookseller, and from him called Guys, and it would be easy enough for me to become member of the Royal College of Physicians and he added that if the Royal College of Physicians could teach me some thing there was also something 1 could teach them. r.--.4 ..-r,ps r. v .5 ,,
 Then told him about the boxes and parcels of the quina tree which had brought with me.
 His eyes sparkled as will those of any true man of science when he hears of precious treasures come ashore that will be servicable to the cause of humanity, and promote the progress of human kind over the Kingdoms of [ nature. " @@ - '"'
 ''Young man," he said, "you may look up- on your fortune sS as saa mads hsys of France, and the King offers two thousand louis dor for some parcels not half so large as your cases, from your account, must be- We will go and see them"
 took and showed them to him. They were even more valuable than he bad expected to. find them. They were in excellent condition, for Father Isidore had taken care that they Y should be property dried before being packed, which is the great means of preservation. Also, was able to speak to Dr. Anderson of the alkalies and alkaloids they contained in a more exact and scientific way than was then known in England. And to make the business short, the king of France paid through the London Goldsmiths the immense sum which he had profered for an adequate supply of the -Quina tree. By the advice or Dr. Anderson went as a student to Guys and having ob- tained the necessary qualifications, I became first his assistant, then his partner, at last his successor.
 When my friendly merchants had allowed me to surrender their hospitable sheltera l went and staid some time with Dr. Anderse D in St. James-sqnare. And there once more that celestial being, my .Euphema, who had broke with such marvellous beauty on my pur- blind sight in the old darker days of ignorance and unwilling crime, once more arose ou the orbit of my life. And if anything could have shown me the priceless, deathless value of the education which the good missionaries had given me, it was that was able to bring an equal mind to her, own that could appreciate her wisdom, her goodness for grace, that from book and natural travel could bring some- thing that would interest and stimulate her own fair sweet thoughts. With 6 thoussnd delicate subtle touches of mind and character she added infinitely to my poor knowledee; and when her love came to crown all the wonderfully gifts of my life, I could only wonder that gracious Providence had given me nature so susceptible to Happiness. and re- solved to devote that life to Heaven, to her. and the use of knowledge and benevolence which the good fathers had pointed out to me when was only poor shipwrecked pirate lad who had sunk weary on nay knees at tbe' foot of the wayside cross.-LOndon Society.
