Who is this ? A careless little midship-
Man, idling about in i great city, with
his pockets full of money. He is wait
ing for the coach; it comes up presently,
and.he gets on the top of it, and begins to
look about him. ' ;";
They soon leave thechiinneylpots be
hind them ; his eyes wander with de
light over the harvest fields, he smells
the honeysuckle in the hedge row, and
he,wishes he was down among the hazel
bushes, that he might strip them of the
milkynats ; then he se6 a great wain
piled up with barley,. and he wishes he
was on the top of it; then they go
through a little wood, alp he likes to
see the checkered shadows of trees lying
across the white road. and then a squir
rel runs up a bough, and he cannot for
bear to whoop and hollow, though he
cannot chase it to its nest.
The other passengers are delighted
with his simplicity and child-like glee ;
and they encourage him to talk to them
about the sea and ships, especially her
Majesty's—,wherein he has the hon
or to sail." An the jargon of the sea, he
describes her many perfections, and en
larges on her peculiar advantages; he
then confided to them how a certain
middy, having been - ordered to the mast
head as a punishment,had seen while
sitting on the topmast crosstrees, some
thing uncommonly like the sea-serpent;
-but, finding this hint received incredu
lous smile, he begins to tell them how
he hopes that, some day, he shall hp.pro
moted.to have charge of the poop. The
passengers hope he will have the honor ;
they have no doubt he deserves it. His
cheek flushes with pleasure to hear
them say so, and he little thinks that
they have no notion in what " that hon
or" may happen to consist.
The coach stops; the little midship
man-, with his. hands in his pockets, ,
sits rattling' his money and singing.
There is a poor woMan standing by the
door of the village inn; she looks care-
Worn,' and well she may; for in the
spring her husband went up to London
too seek' work. He got, work, and she
was expecting, soon to join him there,
when, alas ! a felloNg-workman wrote
her word how he had met with an ac
cident, how he was very bad, and want
ed his wife to come and nurse him. But
.she has two young children, and is des
titute; she must walk up all the •Iray,
and - she is sick at heart when she thinks
that perhaps he may die among strangers
before she can reach him.
She does not think of begging, hut
seeing the boy's eyes - attracted to her;
she makes him a courtesy; and he with
draws his hand and throws her down
I asovereign. She looks at it with incredu
lous joy, and then she looks at him.
" lt's all right," he says, and the coach
starts again, while full of gratitude, she
hires a cart to take her across the con
try to the railway, that the next night
she may sit by the bedside of her sick
husband.
The Midshipman - knows ' nothing
about that—and he never will know.
The passengers go on talking—the
little midshipman has told them who
he' is, and where heis going. But there
is one who has never joined in the con
versation ; he is dark-looking, and rest
less—he sits apart ;- he has seen the
glittering of the falling coin, and now
[ r he watches the boy more narrowly than
before.
1 He is a strong man, resolute and de
termined; the_ boy with the pocket full
of money will be no match for him. He
has told the other passengers that his
father's house is the parsonage at
the coach goes within five miles of it,
and he means to get dowunt the newest
point, and walk, or rathet run, over to
his home, through the great wood.
The man decides to go down too, and
go through the wood ; he will rob the
little midshipman ; perhaps, if Ihe cries
out or struggles, he will do worse. The
boy, he thinks, will have no chance
against him ;. it is quite impossible that
he can escape; the way was lonely, and
the will be down.
NO. There seems indeed little chance
of escape, the half-fledged bird just flut
tering down from its nest-has no more
chance against the keen-eyed hawk,
than the little light-hearted sailor boy
will have against him.
And now :they reach the village where
the boy is to alight. He 'wishes the'
other passengers' good evening, and
runs lightly- down between the scat
tered houses. The man got down also,
`_aridls following. • •
The path lies through the village
church-yard there is evening service,
and the door. IS wide open, for itis warm.
The little midshipman,steals up to the
porch, looks in, and lisens. The cler
gyman hasjiist risen from his knees in
the pulpit, and, is giving out his text.
'Thirteen months have passed since the
boyrwas in the house of prayer; and a
feeliTig •'of pleasure and awe induces

lie hears the opening ,eutences or
lie sermon ; and then the'remenibers
his home, and - comes softly out of the
porch, full of a calm and serious pleas,
urea The clergyman luisreminded him
of
now
father, and his careless heart is
now filled with the echoes of his yoke
and CI his . iirayers: He thinks on what
the clergyman said, of the care of our
Heavenly Father ter us; he reuiemburs,
how, when he left home, his father pray
ed that-he might be-preserved through
every danger; he does not remember
atkr particular danger that he has been
exposed to, except in the great storm ;
but he is grateful he has come home lu
safety,' and-he-hopes whenever he shall
be iu .danger, winch he supposes he
shall be some day—he hopes, that then
the providence Of Uod will watch over
him and protect him. And so he press
es onward to the entrance of the wood.
- The—man is there before him. He
has pushed himself into the thicket,
and cut u.heavy stake; he sutlers the
boy to go - oh benye, £1.114 then he conies
out, and falls into the path:and foll ows hint is too light' `a.t 'pref•ent for his
'deed -- of darkness, and- too near the en
trance of the -wood; but ,he knows that
shortly the path, will
_branch tur into

will he dark and lonely.
But what prompts the little midshsp

makes him dash off suddenly after his
saunter, with a whoop and a bound.
On he goes; as if running a race ; the path
bends, and the man loses sight of him.
"But I shall have him yet," he thinks,
"lie cannot keep this pace up long."
The boy ha, nearly - reached the place
where the path divides, when he puts
up a young white owl that eau :-careely
dy, and it goes whirling along, close to
the ground, before him. He gains up
on it ; another moment and it will be
his. Now it gets the stakt again; they.
come to the branching of the .paths,
and the bird goes down the wrong one.
The temptation :to follow is too ;strong
to be resisted, he knows that somethere
in the wood, there is a cross track by
which he can get into the path he has
left ; it is only to run a little faster; and
he shall be at home pearly as soon:
On he rushes; the path takes a bend,
and he is just out of sight - when hi-1 pur
suer conies to where the - path:, divide.
The bqy has turned to the right ; the
malt hikes the lett, and the. faster they
run; the farther they are asunder. •
whire - owl still leads him on ;
the path get, darker and uarroWer ; at
last he-finds that he has missed it alto
gether, and his feet ate on soft: ground.
Ff• tionn(Wrs aboht among the trees and
stunts, with him- - ;eli,.intil pant

another track and pushes on as fa._t a
he can.- The ground hegins
ckscend, haq big hi , W - a V---but he
keeps bearing to the left ; and thought it
is how' dark he thinks that he must
reach the main path sooner or later..
He doe,' not know this pa=t of - the
wood, but Ile runs on: - 0, little mid
shipman! why did you chase 'that owl'?
If you had kept in the path with the
dark mail behind 'you, - tlalre was a
chance that you might haveoutrun hint ;
ur, if he had overtaken you, some pass
ing wayfarer - might have heard your
cries and come to save _you. • 'Now you
Fare running strait on to your death, for
the forest water is deep and' black at the
bottom of this bill. 0 that the moon
might come out and show it to S'ou!
The moon isinider a thick canopy of
heavy black clouds, and — there is not a
star to glitter on the water and make it
1 visible, the fern is soft under his feet as
he runs and slips down the sloping' hill.
At last he strikes his fpotagainst a stone,
and stumbles and falls. Two minutes
more and he will roll into the black
water.
"Hey - (ley!" cries the boy, "what is
this? 0. how it tears I hands 0 this
thorn bush! .0 my arms! I can't get
free!" He struggles and pants. `•
this conies of leaving the path," he
says; I shouldn't have el:veil for roll
ing own - iid it hadn't been for this bush.
The tern was soft enough. - Pi I never
stray away in the wood at night again.
There, tree at last! . And.my jacket
nearly torn off' my. back !"
With a good deal of patience, and a
great ninny scratches, he gets tree of the
horn bush which had arrested his pro
gress when his feet were within a_ yard
of the water, manages to beamble ups
the bank; and makes the best of his
through the wood. ..
.And now, as the clouds move slowly
onward, the moon shows her face °u
tile black surface 'of 'the water, and the
little white 'owl'cornes-and .hoots, and
flutters over it like -a 'wandering snow
drift. But the boy is deep iu the wood
again, and - knows nothing of the dan
ger from which he has'escaped.=
All thiSlwhile the.'dtirk passenger fol
lows the main track and' behaves that
his prey is heibre him. At last he hears
a crashing of dead boughs, and presen
tly the little midshipman's voice not
tifty yards before him. Yes, it is too
true.; the boy is du the cross-track. He
will pass the cottiwe in the wood direct
ly, and after that"his purSuer will come
upon him,
The boy boduds into the ; but,
as he .pa , -es the cottage he is so thirsty
and so Ittrt he -thinks lie must ask the
inhabitants if they can sell him,a glass
of ale.
He enters without ceremony. " Ale"
says the woodman, who-is sitting at his
supper. " No, we have no ale; but per
haps my wife can give thee a drink of
milk.. CoMe in." - So he comes in and
shuts the door and, while he sits wait
ing for the milk, footsteps pass. They
are the - foon4eps- of. the pursuer, who
roes on with the stake in Ids hand, and
•
is angry and impatient that he has not
yet come up with him.
The woman goes to her little dairy
for the milk, and the btr.• thinks she is
a long time. He drinks:it, thanks her,
and takes his leave. .
Fast andn faster the man runs on, and,
as fast as he can, the boy ruusafter him.
It was very dark'; bnt there is a yellow
streak in the sky, where the moon is
plowing up a furrowed , Mass of gray
clouds, and one or two stars are blink
ing through the branches of the-trees.
Fast the boy follows, and fast: ; theman
runs on, with his weapon in his hand.
tihddenly he hears the joyous, witoop—
not before, but i)ehind him. He 'stops.
41111111 , :tens breathie,4sly. Yes', it is' so.
He: :pushes hinmeif ,into the, thicket,, ,
lota raises his stake .to be is eadiriesa-
when the boy shall pass.
Uiz he comes, running lightly, with
his hand's in his pockets. A sound
, trikes at the same instant on the ears
of both; and the boy turns back from
very•jaws of death to listen. It is
the 4, ) und wheels, and it draws ra
pithy nearer. A man conies up, driving
a little gig.
"Hilloa!" he says,
in a loud, cheer
ful voice. "What benighted, young
ster'!"
- " O, is it you, Mr. says the
boy ; "no, I aru not benighted ; or,• at
any rate, I know my way out of the
wood."-
Them:in draws farther back among
the shrubs. " Why .bless the boy "he
hears the fanner say, " to think oi l our
meeting in, this way! The parson told
me that he was in hopes of seeing thee
one day this week. 111 give thee a lift.
This is a lone place to be in this time
o'night."
" Lone t" says the boy, laughing. "I
don't mind that ; and, it you know the
way, it is as safe as the quarter-deck."
So begot into the farmer's gig, and is
Once' moreout of reach of the pursuer.
But the mn knows that the fanner's
house is a' quarter of a mile nearer than
the parsonage, and in that quarter of a
mile there is still a chance of commit
ting.the robbery. He determines still
to , make the attempt, and cuts across
the wood with such rapid strides that
Ire reaches the fanner's gate just as the
gig drives up to it.
• • Well, thank - you, farmer," says the
midshipman,, as he prepares to get
down.'
" I 'wish 3,-on good night, gentlemen,"
says the man, w hen he passes.
" Good4tight, friend," the farmer
I say, my boy, it's a dark night
enough; but I have a mind to drive you
on to the parsonlige, and hear the rest
of this long tale of yours about the sea
serpent."
The little wheels go on again. They
pass the man ; and he stands still in
the road to listen till the sounds dies
aWay. Then he flings his stake into the
hedge, and goes back- again. His evil
rairpes have all been frustrated ; the
thoughtless boy has baffled him at every
turn.
And now the little .nidshipman is at
home- , —the joyful meeting has taken
place ; and when :they have all admired
his growth, and decided whom he is
like, and measured his height on the
window-frame, and seen him eat his
supper, they begin to question him about
his adventures, More for the pleasure of
headily him talk than any curiosity.
" Adventures !" says the boy, seated
between his father and Mother on a
"ANTIiS% ma, I did write you •ati
account of- the vovae, and there is
nothing else to tell. iN °thing- happened
to-day—at least nothing particular."
"You came to, - the conch we told you
asked 116 father.
-" 0 - yes, papa; and when we ,got
about twenty- miles, came up a beggar
while we Chanved- horses, and I threw
her down, as I 'thought, a shilling; but
as it frII, I saw it was a t-overeign. She
was very honest, and showed ine what
it was, but I didn't take it back, for you
know, mamma, it's a long time since I
gave anything to anybody."
::try true, my boy," his mother
answers ; "but you should not be care
less with your money, and few beggars
are worthy objects of charity."
" I suppose you got down at the crols
road ,s " says his elder brotheit.
" Yes, and went through the wood
I should have been here sooner if I
hadn't lost my way there."
",Lost your way!" says his mother,
alarmed. "My dear boy, you should
not have left the path at ausk."
" 0, ma," says the little midshipman,
with a smile, you're always thinking
we're hi danger. If you could see me
sometimes sitting at the jib-boom ,end,
or across the maintop-ma:st cros - -trees,
you would 'be frightened. But what
tlaugey can_ there be in a wood!"
" 'ell, my boy." she answers, " I
don't wish to'be over anxiotis,' and to
make my children uncomfortable by
my fears. What did you stray from the
path for ?"
" Only to chase a little owl. mamma ;
but didn't catch her. afteri: all. I got
a roll down the bank, and caught my
jacket against a thorn bush, which was
rather unlucky. Ah ! three large hole,
I see in my sleeve. And so I scram
bled up again and got into the lath, and
asked at
_the cottage for some beer.—
What a time the woman kept me, to he
sure ! I thought it would never come.
But very soon after, Mr. I) drove
up in his gig, and he brought me on to
the gate."
`` And so, this account of your adven
tures being brought to a e104e," his
father says, "we discover that there
were no adventures to tell I" "
"No, papa, nothing particular, I
mean."
Nothing particular ! 'lf they could
have known they would - have. thought
lightly in comparison of -the dangers of
" the jib boom end and the main-top
mast cross-trees." But they did not
know, any more than we do, of the dan
gers that hourly be- , et us. Some few
dangers we are aware of, and we do
what we can to provide again* them :
'but for the greater portion, tour eyes
ate held that we cannot see." We
walk securely under His guidance,
without whom " not a sparrow falleth
to the ground ;" and when we had es
capes that angels have admired at, we
come home and say, perhaps, that
"nothing has happened; at least, noth
ing particular."
It is not well thus our minds should
be much exercised about these hidden
dangers, since they are so many and so
great that, no human art or foresight
can prevent them. But it is very Well
that we should reflect constantly on
that loving Providence which watches
every footstep of a track always bal
ancing between time and eternity ; and
that such reflections should make us
both happy and afraid—afraid of trust
our Foul: 7, and bodies too much to
any earthly security—happy from the
knowledge that there is One with whom
we may trust them wholly, an,l with
whom the of our head are all nun
bared. Without 'such - trust, how' can
we rc--t or be at peace? but with it we
may say with the Psalmist, " I will
both lay me dowivin peace, and sleep,
for thou, Lord only makest me dwell
in safety!"
If I want to punish an enemy, i
should be by fastening on him the troub
le of constantly hating somebody.
In most quarrels there is ft fault on
both ; Mies. A quarrel may be compared
to aperk - , which cannot be produced
without o flint 414 well Ri >1 steel, either
of them may hammer- - on wood forever,
4nd no fire will follow.

Once upon a time, Frederick, Bing of
Prussia, surnamed " Old Fritz," took' a
ride, and espied an old farmer plowing
his acre by the wayside, cheerfully
singing his melody.
" You must' be well off; old man,"
said the fang. " Does this acre belong
to you on which you so industriously
labor?"
" No, sir," replied the farmer, who
knew not it was the kirfg. "I am not
so rich as that; I plow for wages."
" How much -do you get a day ?"
asked the King.
" Eight groschen," (about twenty
cents ), said the farmer.
" This is not much," replied the King.
" Can you get along with this?"
" Get along and have something left.'
"How is that ?
The farmer-smiled and said : " Well,
if I must tell you—two groschen are for
myself and wife; with two I pay my
old debts; two I lend away, and two
I give away for the Lord's sake."
This is a mystery which I can not
solve," said the King.
" Then I will solve it for you," said
the farmer. " I have two old parents
at home:who kept me when I was weak
and needed help, and now that they are
week and need help I keep them. This
is my debt toward which I pay two
groshen a day. The third pair of gros
chen which I lend away I spend for my
children, that they may receive Chris
tian instruction. This will come han
dy to me' and my wife when we get
ord. With the last two groschen I
maintain two sisters whom I could not
be compelled to keep. This is what I
give for the Lord's sake."
The King, apparently well pleased
with the answer, said ; " Bravely ppo
ken, old man. Now I will also give
you something to guess. Have you ever
seen me before?"
"Never," said the farmer.
" In less than five tiainutes you shall
see Me fifty times, and carry in your
pocket fifty of my likenesses."
" This is a mystery which I can n
unravel," said the farmer.
" Then I will solve it for you," sa,
the King. Thrusting his hand in b
pocket and counting him fifty bran-nn
gold pieces into his hand, stamped wl
his roal likeness, he said to the ast(
ished farmer, who knew not what •
coming: - The coin is genuine, for
also comes from our Lord God, and
am his paymaster. I bid you adieu."
