HE COULD DIE BUT LIE--NEvER.

Not long ago, on an English
steamer, four days ont from Liver
pool, q small boy was found hid
away behind the cargo. IIe had
neither father nor mother, brother
nor sister, friend nor protector
among either passengers or crew.
Who was he? Where did he come
from? Where going Only 0 years
old ; the poor little stranger. with
ragged clothes, but q beautiful face,
full OF innocence aud truth or
.coursc he was carried before tho
first mate.
GLOW came you to steal pas
sage on board this ship? asked the
mate, sharply.
"My stepfather put me on" an
swered tho boy che could not at

to Halifax, where my aunt lives. /
want to go to my annt.'
The mate did not believe the sto-
ry. lie had often been deceived
by stowaways. Almost every ship
finds one or two days ont at sea,
men concealed among the cargo,
who try to get a passage across the
water without paying for it. And
this is often troublesome and oxpen-
slve. The mate suspected some of
the sailors had hand in the boys
escape, and treated him pretty
roughly. Day after day he was
questioned about his coming, and
1T was always the same story-noth-
ing less, nothing more. At last the
mate got out of patience, as mates
will, and seized him by the collar,
told him unless he confessed the
truth, in ten minutes, he would
hang him Oh the yardarm "a fright
full threat indeed.
Poor child, with not friend to
stand by him ! Around him were
the passengers and sailors of the
midday watch, and before him the
stern first officer, with his watch
in hand, counting the tick, tick of
the minutes as they swiftly went.
There he stood, pale and sorrowful,
his head erect, and tears in his eyes,
but afraid I? no, not a bit ! Eight
minutes were already gone.
"Only two minutes more to liye,"
cried the mate. "Spcak the truth
and save your life, boy"
"May l pray ?'' asked the child,
looking up into the hard mans
face.
The officer nodded his head, but
said nothing. The brave boy knelt
down on deck, and, with hands
ciasped and eyes raised to heaven,
repeated the Lords Prayer, and
then prayed the Lord Jesus to take
him home to heaven. lie could
die, but lie-never All eyes were
turned toward him, and sobs broke
from stern hearts.
The mate could hold out no lon.
ger. lie sprang to the boy, told
him he believed his story, every
word of it. A nobler sight never
took place on ships deck than
this-a poor, unfriended child, will
ing to face death for truths sake.
He could die but lie-never (!
God bless him? And the rest of
the voyage, you may we'll think. he
had friends enough. Nobody own
ed him before; everybody was now
ready to do him a Kindness. And
every one who reads this will be
strengthened to do right, come
what will, by tho noble conduct OF
this dear child.
