The naval FIrh1 a. FoochOw.

letter from q correspondent of the Hart
ford Oourant gives this description OF the ma
val engagement between the French and Chi
nese on the 23d of August At about 1880 p.
N. three French guns were fred in rapid suo-
cession, and instantly the feet fred broad
sides into the frail Chinese war vessels, re-
loading their guns and firing as quickly as
possible. The Chinese bravely returned the
fire, but the close quarters, the fierce broad.
sides and the rapid firing Of the French we're
SO effective that in less than an hour the Chi
nese vessels were disabled and sinking, the
shot tearing right through them. The whole
sceno was one of narrowing details from the
very commencement OF the action. II was
pitiAble to see the little Chinese ships with
their crews standing by almost under the
French guns waiting patiently to be massacred.
II seemed almost like suicide on the part of
the Chinese to stand by their ships at all. In
about 80 minutes after this slaughter began
numerous clusters of Chinese seamen were
seen swimming or drifting with the ebb, some
shIieking in the agony of their wounds and
most of them calling out to the neutral ves-
sells for aid Rs they drifted past them. The
sight was truly piteous all the Chinese mem
of-war were in a disabled condition, silenoed
and sinking, and the crews we're throwing
themselves headlong into the water. Steam
launches from the American and British war
vessels picked up many Of the wounded and
helpless, but there were many others who re-
fused all assistance aud we're seen to sink, not
to reappear. The hre junks had been ignited,
and, in addition to the burning men-of- war,
were drifting in full blaze down the river
immense masses of flame and red heat. Still
shot after shot aud shell after shell came from
the pitiless Frenohmen, who offered no quar-.
ter, but pressed their passive opponents to
the bitter end The scene was enough to
move even FrsnchmAn to relent-the torn

durance, preferring death to rescue, the WON

Save Your NIckIes.

One of the first lessons boy OF fifteen
should acquire is the habit of saving. The
world is all before him and he is to a great
extent the arbiter of his own destiny. Wheth-
er he is to scratch poor mans head all his
days, or to have a comfortable competence
and even wealth, and WELD the power and in
huence that well earned wealth gives, depends
largely on whether he acquires the habit Of
earning money and saving it.
II the boy OF fifteen resolutely sets himself
TO saving a nickle day he will, at the end Of
the year, have $685.. II he invests this and
resoutely all his life lays by a nickle q day,
with the accumulation at per cent interest
he will at the age Of 65 be worth $3S93. ls, Of
which $2970 68 is interest. In fact the ao-
cumulation Of property is an easy matter for
the boy, IL be will resolutely commence to
save and invest, needing not the jeers OF fools
who call him stingy.
Looking back over the boys that played
with us 40 years ago. we find the boys who
inherited wealth are, many Of them, poor,
and the boys who begun on nothing but pluck
and clear grit are, many Of them, wealthy,
whilst the poor boys who spent as fast they
made are living in novels and some of their
names are frequently seen in police courts,
II requires courage we admit to resolutely
face the hill difficulty and lay by, but it can
be done by the boy that has sdnd -Io,0G

FOR THE YOUNG FOLK.
The LI,,Ie Llrh,.Ke.per.

The Btttle Lght-k eeper.
Here is the story Of a little child,
Who, with her father lived beside the sea,
On lone island from whose rocks piled
lighthouse tower Of stoutest masonry
a sleeplehe sentinel whose beaming eye
Watched through the night to warn Of danger nigh.
One day her father, who had gone ashore,
Failed with the early twilight to return;
And 80 she sat- and wondered more and more,
Until the evening star began 10 burn
And thought, "0ur light should shed a. true ray,
Lest ships should be misled and cast away"
Aud 20 she sat- perplered with anxious care
And listened TO the oceans restless moan;
What can do2 Indeed cannot bear
=, Through all the dreary night to stay alone;
Nay, not alone" she thought; and, undismayed,
The little creature then knelt down and prayed.
Then she arose, and with trembling hand,
she dragged a chair beneath the well-trmmed
light;
Perched her slight figure on the trusty stand,
And stretched on tptoe TO her utmost height,
And then reached up-alasi her heart grew sick;
The lighted paper did not reach the wick.
What should she do in this her hour Of need
Nought could she hnd to make the pile more high,
TIL the big Bible, kept with careful heed,
And read at night and morning, met her eye;
But still she paused for, with reverent dread,
Upon the Book Of God she feared to tread.
And yet she thought "what If our light could save
Some ship from wreck upon the rocky shorel"
And 30, with resolution strong and brave,
The heavy volume to the pile she bore.
The deed was done the light's bengnant ray
Beamed DER the boiling breakers OF the hay.
Her father sat upon the shore meanwhile,
Detained by cruel wretches, who had planned
To keep the light INTENDED, aud beguile
Some passing vessel on the rocky strand;
And when the cries OF drowning men we're Ger,
To steal the cargo as II washed ashore.
And as they nat there, plotting evil schemes,
Hoping the midnight hour would bring them luck
True as a star, the lights reproachful beams
Flashed DER the waters. Fooled and pAnic-struck,
They rose together with a sudden start,
And grufiy bade the keeper to depart.
Soon DER the waves the little boat he steers,
Its white sail cleaning 10 that grateful light;
And now the stroHg mans eyes are fun Of tears,
To see efar, that face wan aud white,
Peering through darkness from the slippery rocks,
The night dews falling on her haIen locks.
Glad was the daughter when her father came;
Proud was the father a. he kissed his child
But when she asked with blush of hashful shame,
II her young feet the Bible had dehled,
"No, no." be said ''there never is abuse
When sacred things are put to noble use"
And so he soothed her till her thoughts grew calm
Aud brought the Bible, when she was 10 bed,
And read the glowing language Of psalm,
Until her heart grew warm and cOmfOrted;
Aud, listening to the roaring Of the deep,
The little hghthouse-Leeper fell asleep.
