A WILD ROSE.
The first wild rose in wayside hedge
This year I wand.-riiig see.
I pluck* and .send it as a pledge.
My owe Wild Rose, to thee.
For when my gaze first met thy gaze
We were knee deep in Jane;
The righto were oofy dreaming days,
Ami all the hours m tune.
I found thee, like the eglantine,
Sweet, simple and apart;
And from that hour thy mule hath been
The flower that scents my heart.
And ever since, when tendrils grace
'. oung copse or withered boll
W.Lh rosebuds, straight I see thy face,
And gaze into thy soul
A natural bud of love thou art,
Where, gazing down, I view,
Deep bidden in thy fragrant heart,
A drop of luravenly dew.
Go, w ild rose, to my Wild Rose dear;
Bid her come swift and soon
Oh. would that she were always here!
It then were always June.
—Alfred Austin in Washington Post.
A-SUNG AND THE PIRATES
A-eung was a Chinese boy who lived
in the farming village of Woo-kuh, near
the Choo-Keang or Pearl river, about
fifteen miles below Canton. His father
belonged to that highly esteemed class
of Nung or farmers.
A-sung was one of the brightest schol
ars in the village school. But A-sung’s
father was poor and had many children,
so he felt compelled to take his son from
school to save the expense, and also that
ho might have his help in the paddy
field.
A-sung was in a somewhat melancholy
mood one bright afternoon as he sat be
neath a clump of mulberry trees near
the river. From liis little knoll he could
gaze over wide expanses of rice fields,
and before him spread the broad surface
of the river at Blenheim Reach.
A beautiful American bark lying at
anchor half a mile away was the object
of his earnest attention.
Suddenly there was a great puff of
white smoke from her deck, followed by
a heavy report. A-sung seemed to have
been watching for this. He directed Ids
g;ize to a black speck a mile down the
river, and saw the splashes as the shot
struck near it and ricochetted on over
the surface. The crew were practicing
at the guns.
When the firing ceased a small boat
left the bark, directed toward a point
higher up the river, and he knew that
some of the officers were coming ashore
to take exercise on horseback, as was
their custom. A-sung sprang up and
started back to the village.
()n his way he had to pass near a small
fishing hamlet sitnated on an inlet of the
river. lie hurried along with some trepi
dation, for the inhabitants had a bad
reputation. It was reported that they
were addicted to smuggling and piracy
in their swift boats, called “fast crabs."
But he came to a sudden halt as loud,
piteous screams came from one of the
huts.
A huge, ugly Chinaman came out
dragging a girl whom he was beating
unmercifully with a thick piece of bam
boo. He wore short, wide trousers, a
dirty quilted blouse and a broad hat of
bamboo strips. His feet were bare. He
was a vicious looking ruffian. At last
the girl broke away from him and ran
swiftly toward A-sung, pursued by her
tormentor.
The boy's first thought was to take to
his heels, but he boldly waited till the
fugitive reached him, when he grasped
her waist and darted away behind an
embankment into a patch of tall reeds,
where they l>oth lay panting until their
pursuer gave up the search.
The girl was quite pretty, but ragged
and covered with bruises. She was cry
ing with [lain and fright. A-suug's eyes
filled with tears of sympathy.
“Was that your father?” he asked pity
ingly.
“No. venerable sir,” sobbed the girl.
“He bought me."
“Oh!" said A-sung. with contempt at
the thought of helping a slave girl. But
liis better feelings prevailed. He felt in
his pocket and drew out two pieces of
cash and a ball.
“Take these." he said. “I’m sorry for
you. Bettor wait fill he goes to sleep
before yon go back.” Then he rose and
crept cautiously away so as not to attract
attention. In a little while he reached
the village.
As he approached he saw two foreign
ers on horseback in the street surrounded
by more than 200 children, who were
dancing about and shouting, “Cooc-ehe!
eooc-clie!" (Throw cash.) The grown
people crowded the doorways enjoying
the sport. The two men were laughing
heartily, and scattering handfuls of cop
per cash to see the children scramble for
SL When they had emptied their pock
ets they rode on. still langhing. and met
A-sung. They were dressed ir. white
linen, and one of them wore a Panama
hat, the other a blue cap with a gold
band. A-sung recognized them as offi
cers of the bark.
“Sav, Prescott." said the one with the
hat, “there's a boy that would suit me.
•Speak to him."
They stopped, and Prescott addressed
A-sung in Chinese.
“What is your name, boy?”
"A-sung, venerable sir." replied
A-sung. “What is your name, vener
able sir?'" he added politely.
“Never mind." replied Prescott. “The
venerable Lord Captain Denville wants
a boy to serve him. Lead us to yonr
father, and oppose not."
A-sung s eyes sparkled joyfully. Has
tily he led the way along the granite
paved street, and stopped before a low.
neat house. Inscriptions on red paper
and an urn for joss sticks were at the
entrance. His father came to the door
—a grave, dignified farmer. A-sung put
his hands together and saluted him with
deep resjiect and said:
“Venerable father, here is the vener
able lord captain and the venerable lord
‘Never Mind.' who want a boy to serve
them."
Prescott restrained his desire to laugh
at A-snug's mistake regarding Ins name,
and briefly informed the farmer of Capt.
Denville's wish to employ his son as
cabin boy, for which he would pay him

U0 a month. After due consideration
the farmer consented, and it was ar
ranged that A-sung should come aboard
the next day in the boat of the compra
dor—the man who supplied the ship
with fresh provisions.
"Is A-sung a good boy,” asked Capt.
Denville.
“Him good boy now, bimeby no can
tell," replied the farmer gravely.
The officers rode away, and his father
said to A-sung: “Doubtlessthe gods thus
show their favor. With the money thus
gained from these barbarians you can re
sume your sublime studies, and my son
shall yet bring honor to my old age.”
The next day A-sung went on board
the Harlequin. His father went with
him and formally presented him to the
captain.
“Him good boy now, bimeby no can
tell,’’ he repeated solemnly, as lie took
his departure with the comprador.
A-sung looked about with wonder.
The deck was clean and white. Four
cannon were mounted, black and threat
ening—two 9-pounder carronades on the
quarter deck, a long 18-pounder pivot
gun amidships and a 3-pounder pivot
on the forecastle. Swarthy, active sail
ors were at work on deck or in the rig
ging. They were all Manila men from
the Philippine islands, who speak the
Spanish language. The captain, his two
mates and the clerk were the only white
men on board.
A-sung was sent belcrw to the Chinese
steward to be instructed in his duties.
When he came on deck again in the af
ternoon he beheld an animated scene.
Two long, pull away boats were along
side the bark. They carried masts with
matting sails, and besides pnlled about
twenty oars on each side. They were
armed with gingals fixed in swivels on
the gunwale; these were Chinese fire
arms, carrying a large ball.
A number of Chinese of mercantile ap
pearance were on deck earnestly con
versing with Capt. Denville. A great
many small chests of mango wood, cov
ered with rawhide, were piled near by.
One of these was open, and A-sung saw
that the upper half of the chest was di
vided into twenty compartments, in each
of which was a dark brown ball of pecu
liar appearance and smell. Evidently
there was the same number of balls in
the lower part of the chest.
A-sung soon found out that this was
crude opium, and that the merchants
were buying it. He was on an opium
ship.
The purchasers paid for the drug some
times with Spanish or Mexican dollars
and sometimes with silver ingots called
sycee. The coins had all been stamped
over and over again with Chinese stamps
until they were completely defaced.
These were called “chop dollars." The
value of both coins and sycee was ascer
tained by weight.
As the merchant paid the silver it was
passed over to the “shroff,” a grave,
spectacled Chinaman, who sat at his
table under the awning on tlie quarter
deck, and with his brass balances care
fully ascertained the value of it. He
had need of care, for he was under heavy
bonds fur the correct performance of his
duty.
After A-sung had been on board the
Harlequin a week be was much puzzled
at the difference in the behavior of these
people who came to buy opium.
Some boats came in broad daylight
and took the drug away openly, while
others came stealthily at mght, in haste
and fear, and sometimes the ship's boat
cautiously took away a chest or two up
some less frequented inlet, carefully
avoiding the mandarin boats that pa
trolled the river.
A-sung asked the steward for .-in ex
planation of this difference, and learned
that the exalted emperor at Peking ob
jected to opium lieing imported into the
land, and therefore it was sometimes
smuggled.
As for the floats that came openly he
supposed that they found meaus “to
cover up men's ears and eyes." meaning,
perhaps, that they bribed the mandarins.
This was in 1813. anil tlie steward's ex
planation was probably correct.
A-snng was much interested in the
boarding nettings, which were triced up
every night from the rail to the rigging.
These were for protection against night
attacks by Chinese pirates, who were
many and dangerous in those waters.
I But what excited his greatest interest
was the practice at the big guns.
At first the loud reports nearly made
him jump out of his bine and gold slip
pers. but he soou became accustomed to
tiie noise. The camion were touche,! off
with a joss stick, in primitive fashion,
and at night some of these were al
ways kept burning near the mainmast
in readiness for a sudden attack.
“Venerable young brother." said the
steward one day to A-sung, "how many
dollars' worth of opinm do you think are
in this barbarian ship?"
“Venerable elder brother, I do not
know," replied A-sung.
“There are four hundreds of thou
sands." said the steward. “Verily it
1 would lie a rich prize for the pirates."
I Two weeks after A-sung joined the
' Harlequin lie asked the captain's per
I mission to go and pay his respects to his
father. Capt. Denville granted his re
quest. and he went ashore in the com
prador's boat. With a light heart he
trudged away toward the village, where
he was received with great joy by his
father and by his young friends and
schoolmates.
He spent a very happy day. All the
i children of tiie village were eagerly pre-
I paring for their "Lantern Feast." which
| was to take place that night. This is
! the children's festival in tiie spring,
j when they are allowed to have their own
' way in everything and indulge iu merrj-
: making to their hearts' content.
A-sung wished to stay ashore that
night in order to take part in the festivi-
l ties, but as Capt. Denville would expect
j him to come on board he resolved to go
' ont to tlie ship with the comprador in
the evening and ask leave of absence till
! the next day. So at evening he walked
back to the landing.
j On the way he saw two men approach-
i jng him. one of whom he thought was
the ruffian who had beaten the slave
girl. He was not sure of this, however,
is this person took another path and
soon disappeared.
The other man came on and met him
He was a portly, well dressed China
man, and sainted A-sung politely, with
an engaging smile. He stopped and pro
ceeded to address many flowery and flat
tering remarks to the boy, in the course
of which he alluded to his connection
with the Harlequin, claiming to be him
self an old friend of Capt. Denville’s.
Although A-sung was in a hurry he
listened with pleasure to one who had
evidently formed such a high opinion of
him at sight, and he replied unsuspect
ingly to some adroit questions regarding
the armament and regulations of the
ship.
At last the stranger took leave of him,
courteously wishing him abundant felic
ity and the highest honors and promo
tion. Then, as if with a sudden thought,
he took from the breast of his rich over
garment a small bundle tied np in a silk
handkerchief.
“Venerable younger brother.” he said,
“here are some excellent cheroots with
which to regale the sailors and officials
of the barbarian ship. They are espe
cially choice for those who watch at
night, as they will banish the god of
drowsiness.”
He gave the boy the bundle and again
took polite leave. A-sung jiow hurried
to the landing and got there just in time
to go off with the comprador.
Capt. Denville kindly gave him per
mission to return to the “lantern feast”
after he had performed a few duties, and
by the time the comprador was ready to
return the night watch was already on
deck. Then A-snng happened to think
of the cheroots. He ran below, untied
the bundle and brought up a handful,
which he distributed among the Manila
sailors, with whom he was already a
great favorite. Then he gave a couple
to the second mate, who was the officer
of the watch, and sprang into the boat.
When lie reached the village the
“lantern feast” was in full progress.
The street was crowded with gayly
dressed children carrying colored lan
terns and forming in line for the pro
cession.
In the midst of this joyful scene, when
the merriment was at its height, a pale,
ragged, muddy figure appeared at
A-sung's side and touched his arm. He
recognized the slave girl whom he had
befriended. .She was shivering with
cold and fear.
“Come, venerable, sir.” she said, “1
must tell yon something.”
They retired a few steps, while the
throng of children looked on with won
der.
“There is a fishing village fifteen
le from here.” continued the girl hur
riedly, "and three big pirate boats go
from there to attack the barbarian ship
to-night. My master and the rest have
gone to join them. I followed them.
The pirates were beating the gongs and
burning the joss papers to gain the favor
of the gods. Do not use the cheroots the
man gave you today: they are drugged
with the smelling stnffs of thieves and
robbers to make men sleep!”
A-sung gave a cry of astonishment
and despair. For a moment he was
stupefied: then he threw' down his gay
lantern, and darted away toward the
boat lauding at his greatest speed.
In a little while he had aroused the
comprador and acquainted him with his
fears. They hurriedly entered a small
boat and pulled away for the Harlequin.
As they neared the ship they distinctly
heard the dip of the sweeps as the pirate
boats approached. They had almost
reached their prey.
A-sung clambered up tlie side and
reached the deck with difficulty be-
tw’een the boarding nettings. There
was no challenge. All was still on
board. Several dark figures were
stretched out on the deck forward.
He darted aft- The second mate was
in a profound slumber, breathing heav
ily. He shook the officer, but found it
impossible to awake him. The drugged
cigars had done their work effectually.
He glanced fearfully arosnd. One of
the pirate boats was close at hand, loom
ing up darkly, propelled by;, great num
ber of oars. Will with fright, A-sung
rushed forward to the „ irecastle scream
ing:
"Pirates! pirates! Ahoy, hi yi!”
The men on deck were all in a leaden
slumber, but some of the watch bad
evidently sneaked below on finding that
the mate had gone to sleep.
At A-sung's cries three sailors rushed
on deck. Though confused, they com
prehended in a moment the imminent
danger, and sprang forward to the pivot
gun amidships. By that time the pirate
boat was almost alongside, and sudden
ly there burst from her crowded deck
the most frightful din of gongs and
savage yells, together with a fierce dis
charge of musketry and gingals.
Several large, flaming missiles were
thrown over the boarding nettings upon
the deck. Three fell close to the pivot
gun, where they lay blazing and smok
ing. emitting a most horrible and suffo
cating stench. Enable to endure it, the
sailors were driven from the gun.
One of them ran aft to the cabin,
shouting “Senor Captain! Ladrones!
ladrones!" Another ran to the fore
castle to arouse his shipmates. The
third stood as if paralyzed. Already the
pirates were grappling the ship and pre
paring to pour on board.
At this perilous moment a desjierate
resolve inspired A-sung. Since he had
caused this disaster he would at least do ,
what he could to atone for it was his
thought. He drew a deep breath, and .
as the captain and Prescott reached the
deck they saw A-sung da-sh forward
through the fumes of the burning “tire
pots," seize a joss stick from the main- i
mast and touch off the long eighteen
pounder. There was a stunning report, i
The pirate boat was wrapped in smoke, I
from which came fearful howls, screams,
groans. The gun happened to be
trained exactly upon the crowded deck
of the pirate, and being double shotted
with canister the effect of the discharge
was terrible.
By this time the rest of the crew were
on deck, and the carronade and the gnn
on the forecastle were fired into the
other pirate boats that were trying to
i get alongside, and the sailors gave them
I a volley of musketry. Prescott at the
, head of some of the most resolute men
threw the blazing "fire pots" overboard,
I extinguished the flames, and then, re-
j loading the eighteen pounder, poured
| another blast into the first boat, which
was trying to get off, badly crippled.
Poor A-sung was picked np limp and
senseless from the deck, where he had
fallen suffocated after so bravely firing
the gun. That one shot began the dis
astrous repulse of the pirates. It was
some time before he was revived, and
when he regained consciousness the bat
tle was over.
When Capt. Denville heard the whole
story, he highly praised A-sung for his
prompt and courageous action, but also
warned him against being deceived by
shrewd rascals, no matter how fine their
dress or how pleasing their manners.
The men who had been stupefied by
the drugged cigars soon recovered, but
the second mate never forgave the boy
who had caused his discomfiture.
A-sung told the captain of the impor
tant service the slave girl had rendered,
and expressed his fears for her fate if the
pirates should suspect that she had be
trayed them. So the next day Capt.
Denville, A-snng and a party of armed
sailors went to the fishing hamlet.
Denville reached the hovel first and
burst in the door. They had evidently
arrived just in time. The little slave
girl was dodging about the small room,
pursued by the big Chinese ruffian,
who was slashing at her with a heavy
scimitar.
The villain had been wounded in the
attack on the ship. His jaw was bound
up with a dirty bandage, and he could
barely limp about. This had enabled the
child to escape his deadly blows, but as
Denville entered he had penned her in a
| corner.
The captain drew liis pistol, and com-
pelled the pirate to drop his sword. He
then sternly announced his intention of
taking the slave girl away, and that lit
tle as the ruffian deserved it he would
pay a reasonable price for her.
The pirate, scowling furiously from
the bench where he had sunk, did not
object to this, but coolly mentioned a
most exorbitant, price. Denville, with
out wasting words, placed one-tenth of
tlie amount on the bench, and told the
girl that she now belonged to him.
He then addressed the pirate again,
and threatened him with the severest
punishment if he ever followed or per
secuted the girl. After this the party
left the village, taking with them the
little slave, who exhibited a joy that was
really pathetic.
The girl, whose name was Le Won,
was given her freedom and placed in the
family of A-sung's father, where she
would be kindly treated—Capt. Denville
engaging to pay for her maintenance
until she was married.
A-sung remained on board the Harle-
; quin a year, during which time he made
a voyage to India. Then he retnrned to
his native village and resumed his stud
ies of the Confucian classics—that road
to honor and fame in the Flowery Land.

Too Many Infielders.
Burns, of the Kansas Citys, tells a
good story. He says that while he was
a member of the Oshkosh club, some
years ago, it was owned by Senator Saw
yer, the lumber king. Sawyer put $20,-
000 in to boom the town, and, by the
way, it won the pennant, and he paid no
attention to it. One day, however, he
concluded to take his wife ont to see a
game. Both were interested. The pitch
ers were being hit hard, there were
many long flies caught and they en
joyed it. Finally, however, an idea oc
curred to Mrs. Sawyer.
“Senator," she said, “that is not fair;
they put only three men away ont in the
field ami let all the rest stand around
the diamond. They make these three
! men work too hard. You must see the
manager and tell him to scatter liis men
out." The senator thought her idea ex
cellent, aud the next day he hunted up
the manager. “You seem to win all
right,” said he, “but I don’t like the
way you place your men. I want von
after this to scatter them out more.
Put more in the outfield, and dou't have
them all standing about the pitcher."—

A few memento before he died he
