The Inspector could not save the school

went down the steps trembling for Joy,
the tears binding his eyes, and humbly
thanking God that he had enabled him
to give testimony for the truth
The incident soon became the town

The Sailor Bow.

Harry's dream was of the sea. He
was the son of fisherman, and all his
life he had lived within hearing of its
restless murmur. When little more than
a baby he had wandered by himself up
and down the beach, picking up the deli
cate shells that had been washed ashore,
and building castles of sand
He loved to climb to the top of some high
cliff, and for hours watched the rolling
pillows, or the white ships far out at sea.
He often went out with his father in
his fshing-smack, and before he had
reached his teens he was an expert fisher
man, and could manage a sail or a helm
almost as we'll as the best of the crew.
But he was not content to always be a
fisherman. He longed to be a real
sailor, and sail over the great ocean, and
visit foreign lands.
At last his opportunity came. Cap
tain Marshall was about to set sail, in
the good ship " Sea Wave, on voyage
around the world A new sailor boy
was wanted. Harry, hearing of this,
with his parents permission, applied for
the place and got it, and a few DAYS
afterwards the "Sea Wave" set sail from
the port Rivermouth.
Harry was blessed with pious moth
er, and as he was leaying home she gave
him Bible, and with tears in her eyes
said
" Promise me, Harry my boy, that you
will read it every day, and that every
night you will say your prayers"
3" Mother, 1 promise you 1 will" said
the noble boy.
Harry kept his promise, though he did
not find it an easy task. Sometimes the
wicked sailors would laugh at him then
the devil would suggest to him that he
might do his reading and praying in
secret, and thus avoid persecution. But
the brave little fello@did not yield he
kept right on, unmindful of the laughter
and jeers of his companions.
Harry was a studious and industrious
boy, and all his spare time he put in at
his books. He soon learned all about
masts, and ropes, and rigging, and how
to take the latitude and longitude, and
steer the great ship. He made many
long voyages and visited many strange
lands
During these long voyages he had many
wonderful adventures but the blessed
God, whom he served and in whom he
put. his trust, delivered him in every
time of danger. Harry is sailor yet,
but he no longer sails with old Captain
Marshall in the Sea Wave" He is now
Captain Henry Wilson, commander of
the finest steamship on the Atlantic.

A Modern confegsor in Spain.
BY REV. THOMAS L. GULIcK, zARAGosA
SPAIN.

BY REV. THOMAS L. GULIcK, zARAGosA,
SPAIN.
An aged school-teacher and his wife
have lately come to one of our outs
tons from the distant province of
Asturias solely for the sake of living in
a Protestant community. In reply to
inquiries, he told me in modest, manly
way, the following interesting story.
He said that seeing the corruption in and
around him, he had begun to wonder if
the religion he was following was the true
one, and, in his blind way, feeling about
if haply he might find God, he had
asked Him to show him the true path
" How wonderful" he said, "are the
ways of God. While was in this state
of mind God sent me messenger from a
quarter where I, teacher, least expected
a revelation. The apostle he sent me
was poor, aI,aelucated day Ja6orey. who
was breaking stones on the road. I
several times heard him spoken of as
godly man, very different from those
around him; that he had book which
he priced above everything else, bv
which he guided his life, and of which
he was constantly speaking to his neigh
bors. I sent for him. He came and
brought his book, which he was accus-
toned to keep about him. We had a
long talk, and he lent me his precious
book. I read it and found that 7 was
lost sinner. Then 1 cried to God for
mercy through Christ, and found peace
" Now the prosecutions began. The
priests Of the town, who had always been
my special friends, heard that l was be-
coming Protestant. He came to me
and said, 1 hear an absurd calumny
against you; they say that you are be-
coming Protestant I replied It is
true; accept the doctrines Of the Bible
[ trust in Christ as my only Saviour,
and I intend to obey his command He
then burst upon me like mad man,
denouncing me as hereto and corrup-
tor of youth. He stirred up the whole
town. The little house had bought in
which to spend my declining years was
stoned, and at night they tried to set it
on fire.
AS teacher Of public school was
required by the government to teach the
Roman Catholic catechism, which now
knew taught doctrines contrary to the
Word of God. I felt that could do this
no longer, and told my wife we must
give up our living, cost what it might
She, too, had accepted the gospel, and
agreed with me. | sent in my resigna-
ton. The school inspector in Oviedo,
the capital, sent word that he wished to
see me there. / knew that he intended
to ask the cause Of my resignation, and
trembled at the thought Of being de-
nounced before the high officials as a
hereto. Satan tempted me to give some
other excuse, my age, my wife's health,
the climate, or something else, but my
own conscience and good Swiss woman

They fought for what they unfortunately
believed to be right It was the result
of false education. The press, the pulpit
and their statesmen all taught them thai
slavery was right, and they believed that
such was the fact. They also held to the
theory that secession was right, and they
fought for their convictions. The North
ern people should now remember that the
principle contended for has been settled,
and that the survivors of the unfortunate
side are our common kindred, and AS such
demand proper treatment.
Since the war the survivors of the bat
tle-field, the men who were the most dar-
ing. gallant and brave in the Southern
army, have made every pledge and done all
that could be expected of them to show
that they are in favor of Union, and
were rejoiced that slavery had been abol-
ished, although the natural regret was APP
parent that the abolition had been effected
by such feerful sacrifice of human life.
1t is our duty now to welcome such new
converts as American citizens.
While we remember the heroism of our
own dead, we should not fail to recognize
the valor and bravery of our brethren OF
the South
While the false education of the
South before the war Induced them
to believe that the federal government
had no rights which were supreme when in
conflict with the state authorities, it is not
becoming in US to so to the other extreme
by believing that the states have no rights
or powers which the federal government,
will respect. While the federal govern
ment is supreme in the national character
let us also remember to respect the rights
reserved to the people of a state to govern
themselves without federal interference.
He compared the political arrangements
by which the state aud federal government:
were conducted, if carried on according
to the spirit and letter of the constitution
to the planatery system, where the different
forces all resulted in perfect motion. The
least interruption to that system meant its
obstruction. In this same light he regard
ed the state and federal authorities, and
the encroachment of the one upon the
other caused rebellion as has been thu
case or an empire and distraction as would
be the case if Capitalization was allowed
in the federal government.
