your folks are poor, and your
a drupktird.” ..
I was happy.no mere—I was a
drunkfifcTs - son—and" lrdw coulu .1
look my neyv friends in the face.—
My heart seemed to rise 'in my threat,
and almost suffocated me. The hot
tears 3euTtfed my eyes but I kept
them back ; _ and soon as possible,
qufelTy~il'rppc^ : away _ from my com-
pailionsj procured my dinner-basket,
and *unqbi?brved, left.the scene of my
triumph and disgrace, with a .heavy
heart-Tor-my : home. But what $ ,
home. “My folks were poor,—and;
my father was a drunkard;’ But
why should I be reproached for that..
I could not prevent my father’s drink
ing, and, assisted^ and encouraged by
my mother, i’nau done an I could to
* keep my place in my class at sctiool,
wnToWlioou. ’ j .
Boy as I was, I inwardly resoived
never to taste of liquor, and that I
would show Master G. that if I was
a drunkard’s son, I would yet stand as
high as he did.
But all my resolves
could not allay the gnawing grief and
vexation produced by his haughty
words and taunting mann'er. . In this
frame of mind—my heart and head
aching, .my eyes red and swollen—I
.reached* home. My mother saw at
%nce'tliatl was in trouble, ami inquir
ed the cause. I buried my face in her
lap and burst into tears. Mother
seeing my grief, waited -until I was
more composed, when I told her what
had happened, and added, passionate
ly, “I wish.father wouldn’t be a drim-'
hard, so we eouldbe respected as other
folks.” At first, mother seemed al
most overwhelmed, but quickly ral
lying, said:
~ “My son, I feci very sorry for you,

been so injured. G. has twitted you
about things- you cannot help. But
never mind,-my son. Be. always Bon
iest'never taste a drop of intoxicating
liquor ; study affd improve your mind.'
Depend on your own energies, trusting
in God, and yog will, if your life is
spared, make a useful and respected
man. I wish your father, when sober,
could have witnessed this scene, and
realized the sorrow his course brings
on us-all.. But keep a brave heart,
my son. Remembf r you are respon
sible only for your own faults. Pray
God to keep, you, and don’t grieve for
the thoughtless and unkind reproach
es that may be cast cn YOu on' your
father’s account--” ' . '
ThisJesson of my blessed mother, I
trust, was not lost bipod me. Near-
day, arid i have passed many trying
scenes, but none ever, made so strong
an impression on my feelings as that
heartless remark °f G"?. It was so un
just and so uncalled-for. Now, boys,
always treat your mates with kind
ness. Never indulge in taunting re--
marks toward any one, and remember
that the son of a poor man, and even
of a drunkard, may have sensibilities
as your own.
" But therb is another part of this
story The- other day a gentleman
called at mv place - of business, and
asked if-I did not redogaizo tom. 2
said-Id-id not- “Do yau remember,”
aaid he, “of being at a spelling-school
at a certain time, and' a rude and
thoughtless boy twitting you of pover
ty and being a drunkard's, son • “I
do most distinctly,” said I. “Well,’
continued the gentleman, “I tun that
boy. There has riot probgbly a month
of my life passed since- then, but 1
have thought of that remark with re
gret and shame, and as I am about
leaving for California, perhaps’to end
my days 'there, I could not go without
catling on you, and asking your .tpr-

him my hand in token of forgiveness.

that they could not survive another

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT BY I)R. KANE.
The expedition succeeded in cross
ing Melville Bay and reaching the
headlands of Smith- Sound as early- as
•the (fill of August, 1853. Finding the
ice to lhe north completely impenetra
ble, they were forced to .attempt a
temporary passage along the coast,
where the rapid tides—running-at the
rate of four knots an hour, with a rise
and fall of sixteen feet—had worn a
temporary opening. Previous? to tak
ing this step, which involved great
responsibility, and which was, in fact,
equivolent to sacraficing.the vessel, a
Francis metalicboat, .with aCtirroQ 'Ot
provisions, was concealed as a means
iif retreat • • _ -p
The penetration' of the pack ice was
attended by marly obstacles. The ves
sel grounded with every tide, and- put
for hqr extreme strength 'would not
have been, able to. Sustain . the' shocks-
of the icc. She was twice on Ijer beam
ends, and once on fire from-the ftpse.t-
ting ofthe stoves. Some.Idea of this*
navigation may be formed, - from tlie
fact.ofher losing her jib boom, best
bolter anchor and bulwarks, besides
about 600 fathoms'of 'warping line.—
They were cheered, however, by a
small daily progress; and by the 10th
of September, 1853,' had succeeded in
gaining the northern face of Greenland
—at a point never peached before.—

of fuel, would have proved most disas

escape to the Sontlrby a combination
of boats and sledges. In accordance
with tors, view they left .the brig on tire,

The Barefooted Friaicr-boy.
Tile Pittsburg Morning Ariel, un
der tofa caption, gives a.sliort story of
adistinguished citizen pf Pennsylvania,
as follows : .
Some thirty y^B; ago, a barefooted
boy floated dow^^Be Susquehannah

Harrisburg, Pa. He came from
North anti belonged to a large family,
with; ail his .worldly goods tied up iu
a ’ little pocket handkerchief Be
sought and obtained employment
in a printing office as an apprentice.—
From an .apprentice to a journeyman,
from a journeyman to a reporter, then
'to an editor ; the barefooted printer-
boy worked his way against obstacles
which the struggling poor only know.
The persevering follower.ip Franklin's
steps began* to realize toe fruits of his
patient toil and-privation. Theyoung
aspirant became Printer to the State,
and by frugal management* was soon
enabled to accomplish the object dear
est to his heart-—the establishment of
his mother in ft home-above want—in
toe possession of every comfort she
coulddesire.
His brothers were next his care,
and like Napoleon, he had a strong
arm with which.to aid them—an i Q ‘
dommtable perseverance that nothing
Aould long successfully obstruct. M
a few years, -they too, with his s.sters,
were independent of the world J tnC
once barefooted printer-boy was m
posiession of affluence,iBurrounded by
a young and affectionate, family, ffe
did not stop here. He .was the friend
of the friendles, the patron of merit,
and therencoufager of industry. y e
rose in honor arid iVi office, until the
poor barefooted-boy,' who entered a
printing office in Harrisburg, hungry
and.weary, laickdown his little bunuie
on a |u’le*of wet paper an .asked to
become a printer’s apprentice, was
elected Senator in Congress ! TK
