A Remarkable Experience.

A little over two years ago, an Eng
lish sea- captain touched at one of the
South Sea Islands, inhabited by canni-
balls. The natives came focking to the
ship, intent as usual on barter.
Among the others came mother
bringing her little daughter, Seada.
You may imagine the captains disgust
when the cannibal mother offered to
kill and cook her child for his dinner,
if he would give her trinkets worth
about eight dollars. The captain gave
the mother the coveted treasure, but
signifed that he would take the girl
alive. After the captain had kept her
a year, he met in his voyages, Captain
and Mrs. Means of NIiledridge, Me-,
and to these good people he gave over
his charge. Being in Milebridge last
summer, (says a correspondent Of the
Religious Herald) l called with Rev.
Mr.. Walbridge to see Seada. I was
surprised at her quiet manners, and
with the shy way in which she managed
to see everything going on while hang
ing her head from bashfulness. Her
general appearance was that of good
looking mulatto, with straight black
hair and handsome black eyes. Seada
has already acquired the ways of an
American child and is rapidly learning
in the studies of the common schools.
Her principal delight however seems
to be in the Sunday-school. She needs
no urging to attend Sabbath services,
but is on the contrary, eager to attend.
A while ago she heard a sermon on the
Two Builders, and then she gave an
intelligent account of part of it. What
a contrast has been brought about in
the life of this little girl! Two years
ago she was a canuibal, living in the
most loathesome degradation, and
brought to be sacrificed by her own
mother for eight dollars; to-day living
in a civilized country, a useful mem
