Poor little Willie, With his many pretty wiles; Words of wisdom in his looks, And quaint, quiet smiles; Hair of amber, touched with Gold of heaven so brave; All lying darkly hid In a workhouse grave. You remember little Willie: Pair and funny fellow! ho Sprang like a lily From the dirt of poverty; Poor little Willie! Not a friend was nigh, When, from the cold world, He crouched down to die. In the day we wandered foodless, Little Willie cried for bread; In the night we wandered homeless, Little Willie cried for bed; Parted at the workhouse door, Not a word we said; Ah, so tired was poor Willie, And so sweetly sleep the dead. ’Twas in the dead of winter, We laidhim in the earth; The world brought in the New-Year On a tide of mirth. But, for lost little Willio Not a tear we crave; Cold and hunger cannot wake him In his workhouse grave. We thought him beautiful, Felt it hard to part; We loved him dutiful; Down, down, poor heart! The storms they may beat; The winter winds may rave; Little Willie feels not, In his workhouse grave. No room for little Willie; In the world we had no part; On him stared the Gorgon-eye, Through which looks no heart. “Come to me,” said Heaven; And, if Heavens will save, Little matters though the door Be a workhouse grave. —Gerald Massey, A. STOWAWAY'S STORY, Reading in the papers the other day of the arrest of the mate of the Rio steamer Finance for cruelty to three or four stowaways who made their appearance after the vessel was well on her voyage, has recalled^vividly an adventure I had when a boy of fourteen, and, though I was a very humble individual myself, the particulars of that adventure stirred the people of a great kingdom. I know the sailor from topmast head to kelson, I have sailed in all sorts of crafts, with all sorts of crews, and have served many Captains. I know that sail¬ ors arc rough and uncouth, and that there is always a disposition to find fault and to magnify evils. Jack would have his growl, no matter how well fed rtnd how well used. On land there is a cer¬ tain antagonism between employer and employed. On shipboard this is intensi¬ fied, but that is because the employer has so much more power over the employed. I frankly admit that I have never met half a dozen sailors, no matter what sort of Captain they were sailing under, who were without complaints, but it does not follow that all the others complained with¬ out reason. The ship may be comforta¬ ble aud full-handed, the fare all right, and the Captain a good man, but the mates can stilt make the craft mighty un¬ comfortable for the men. I venture to assert that there are not half tt dozen long voyage sailing crafts leaving our shores in which abuses calling for loud growling do not exist, and what is true of America is true of all other countries; The Dutch, Swedes, Russians, affd Las- cars will stand overwork, poor grub, and the abuse of officers, and as much for this reason as any other the Yankee sailor has been driven from the sea, and his place filled by these substitutes. When I was eleven years old my mother died, and my father decided to go to Australia. I was his only child, and he was by no means burdened with money. He was a master plumber, and he set out for Sidney under contract, Three months after our arrival he married again, and it was not six weeks before my stepmother pushed me into tlie street. I was under-sized and sickly, but I never gave her the slightest cause for even a harsh word. She simply took an aversion to me, and somehow hatred came to be reflected in my father, He saw me thrown out on the world with hardly a protest.aud two days later, -rhen he met me in tho street, he gave me about eight shillings in money arid ad- vised me to set up as ri bootblack and newsboy. I should'probably have fob lowed his suggestions had I not on that same day chanced to fall in with two or three. lads who were planning to stow themselves away the* aboard of tin English brig called Charles H. Churchill, They were boys who had run away from home OF been thrown over likG myself, and the idea was that they could do bet- ter in England. I was invited to join, and when our plans had been laid there were four of us of about the same age. *\\ c looked the brig over, found that wc could get aboard, aud made our arrange- ments. One night when the brig was nearly ready for sea I stole aboard, carrying with me about two quarts of water and four pounds of bread and meat, This was the share I was to furnish. I was to board, slip down the midship hatch, and the others were to follow at brief inter- vals. A fire on board a ship a few huu- dred feet awav collected the crew of the brig aft aud I got aboard without risk. The hold was nearly full of bags, barrels. and boxes.and after waiting a few minutes I made my way over these toward the bow, and found a very comfortable place on a lot of dry hides. I remained aw ake and alert for two hours and then fell asleep without realizing that I was a bit sleepy. It was morning when I awoke, and as the sailors were at -work below, I dared not move or call out. I figured that my com- panions were in through^the hiding around me, and so rested easy day, sleeping of the = most time. At about sundown I felt the ship under motion, and an hour later the hatches were closed and I was in midnight darkness. I had matches and a stub of candle, and, after striking a light, I moved around and whistled and called to my companions. I could make my way over the freight verv easilv in aay direction and I would not give up tliat I was alone until I had searched for ;v full hour. Then I was positive that I was alone; the othejs had either backed out or had been baffled in their attempt to get aboard. I was much upset at the discovery and crawled baek to mv bed and cried myself to sleep. It had been agreed among us hovs that we should keep secreted three days after sailing.- None of us anticipated any trouble when we should make our presence known. I had no way of com- puting time, as it was night all the time in the hold, but after my bread and water had been used up and I was hungry and thirsty, I decided that the three days were up. Crawling to the cover of the hatch I knocked c it and shouted, and after a little it was opened and I was helped out. It "was 9 o'clock on the morning of the fourth day. The first word from the Captain was a curse, and his first act was to swing me about the deck by the hair. Then he called for a rope and beat me until I fainted away, and while lying unconscious he and the first mate kicked me several times. When I came to I was ordered forward among the men. They gave me kind words, satisfied my hunger and thirst, and hoped that the worst was over. It. was not, however. At about noon I was called aft, and after the Captain had in- terrogated me a.s to my identity and why I had selected hi? vessel, he gave me another beating, and turned me over to the mate with the words: “You can have him now, and I hope 3'ou'll kill him before the week is out.” “Aye, sir, leave that to me,” was the reply. “I'll find a dozen ways to make him wish he’d never been born.” I had committed an offence, but noth¬ ing deserving such punishment as I re¬ ceived for the next three days. I was flogged, kicked, cuffed and maltreated in every way.Captain and mate could think of, and was more than once rendered in- sensible by their cruelty. I heard the men cursing the officers for their con¬ duct, and encouraging each other to in¬ terfere, but I was passive. Indeed, after a beating or two, I was so harried that I could scarcely remember my own name. On the afternoon of the fourth day, soon after dinner,while I was forward with the watch and assisting the sailmaker to re¬ pair a sail, the first mate called me aft. The wind was light and the sea smooth, and a few- fathoms astern of the brig was an enormous shark. It had occurred to the two brutes to have some fun with me-. The mate noosed a rope and passed it around my waist, and then; while I struggled and shrieked rtnd begged for mercy, he carried me to the port quarter and dropped me overboard for shark bait. The shark made a rush for me, b ; lt 1 was haul « d U P just in advance of his jaws. The Captain aud mate laughed uproariously, and the latter had picked me up to drop me from the other quarter when the entire crew came running aft. I saw that much, and then fainted away, and what took place while I was uncon¬ scious was never clearly related to me. The crew had determined to interfere, and thoir actl0u excited . the Captain and matc to a terrible degree. Thhe former had a revolver in his pocket, and when the crew refused to go forward he fired at and wounded one of them. This brought on of a fight, in which both officers and one the sailors were killed. It was rebel- lion—not mutiny. The sole idea of the crew was to protect me from further cruelty. In carrying this out murder was done and all were liable to the gallows. The dead bodies were lying on on deck when I recovered con¬ sciousness while the men had congregat¬ ed in the waist of the brig for consulta¬ tion. The second mate whose name was Chapman, had sympathized with the crew although he had no hand in the fight. lie was now’ asked to take com¬ mand of the brig until it could be deter¬ mined what should he done, and lie did so. The three men were prepared for burial in the usual way, and launched over the side without service, and an hour after the fight not a trace of it was left; When tlie question of what should be done came up for discussion most of the n^m were appalled at the seriousness of the case. It was the first duty of the mate to set a signal of distress, but, of course, nothing of the sort was done, Under the law he should head for the nearest port and there surrender brig and crew, but, of course, he had no thought of this- While he had not incited the crew to resistance, he had not come to the aid of the officers. It would have been easy to prove his sympathy for me, and that would have made him the acces- sorv of the crew. It was realized that all had outlawed themselves, and the question was where to go and what to do with the brig. It was finally decided to haul up for the Solomon Islands. ■ The brig was bound home through Torres Strait, as she had two ports of call to make before reaching the Cape of Good Hope, arid we were not over 450 miles offi of Sidney when the mur- ders occurred. We therefore had a voy- °f quite 1500 miles before us. For the first week men could not have behaved more sensibly. The discipline was good, and all were under proper re- straint. Wc were sighting vessels daily, *m<I on several occasion wc were passed closely that we had to signal our niim- ber and report nil well. On the third *1^.' ^ nic\L»-0 J .*'W<ll GXCn<m^6d with u3 i and through some bungling on our Ills suspicions seemed to have been aroused, and he would perhaps have uoaraed us had not a change m the ooa.h. i occurred. Aftc. aoout a Meek, however, tnc men began to get iudepend- ent and to bring forward new plans, and there was no longer any harmony among the crew. 1\ hilo Chapman was the only* one who could navigate a ship, an< l while he had been put in charge of the brig, the men finally refused to do an Y ' vork be J ODd that of sailing the craft, Some openly advocated that we turn pirate, and others wanted to run into sonie l' ort aml seU bri ? and car S° aud di- v5de thc ^oney. This was hooted at by thc JnorG intelligent, and gave rise to fur- ther ill-feeling. I he brig had lignt or contrary winds an d made slow progress, and at the end of two weeks the situation oa board could not have been much worse. Thcre ~' vt ' rc niue of us - including the cook > a black rnan - and eac ' u man of tflcm seemed determined to do as he Phased. All messed in the cabin, and ad bad access to the liquor, and as a con- sequence lights frequently occurred, and there were times when the brig had close shaves from being made a wreck. On one occasion the men charged the mate v *' ith playing them false, and with plan- n5n ? deliver them up to justice, but he somehow satisfied them that he was hold- to the course originally agreed upon, and be was honest in what he said. Af- Ter a run of some twenty-five days he an- nounced that we v,*ere approaching the Solomon Islands, aud the men at once made reaay to carryout their further l dans * ’ One hundred miles southwest of San Gliristoval, which is the easternmost of the group, is a smaller group cade d the Little Solomons. It was this U rou P ^ere approaching, and at tha t da»e no 'white man had set foot upon them. They were inhabited by fierce and blood thirsty natives, who combined pi- racy, wrecking and fishing, and the mate was for makiug for the other group, lie was overruled in this, and when the brig had hauled in until the land could be seen from the deck the long boat was got over and loaded. The men intended to L*...Ld«p play the part of castaways, and had a They erased th( name of the boat, and took nothing aboard which would betray the identity of the brig which they meant to scuttle. At noon, after working all the morning, they had loaded the boat with whatever suited them, divided up the sum of $1250 found on board, and were ready to bore holes in flic brig's bottom. For two da vs I had been ill of fever and confined to my bunk. I knew from the conversation around me what was going on, and at noon, when one of the men brought me a cup of gruel, he said we should soon be off. Half an hour later the brig became so quiet that ] grew afraid, and with great effort crawled on deck. The long boat was a mile away, with every man in it. About four miles to the west, coming up under a light breeze, was a British man-of-war. All sail had been taken off the brig so that she was simply 1 drifting. It was the • smnt of the man-of-war , which had hur- lied our crew off so suddenly. In about an hour she came up,and after a crew had been put aboard, both vessels stood in aud came to anchor in a bay, and then boats were sent out for the mutineers. Not even a sight of them was ever ob¬ tained. Tea years later it was known that they made a lauding on one of the small islands, were secreted by the na¬ tives until the ship sailed, aud evert' out of them was then knocked on the head for the sake of the plunder. I was taken back to Sidney, and later on to England, and as I was the only survivor my story was told and retold in the courts and press until the whole world had the details.— JS'ao York Sun. Lemon Cultivation in Sicily. The United States Consul in Messina, in a recent report says that the well- known variety of lemon called the “lu¬ nate,” or ever-bearing, produces blos¬ soms and fruit every month in the year. When, however, during the Indiamsum mer, rainy days are succeeded by dry, clear weather, lemon trees of different varieties immediately put on bloom, and if, owing to the mildness of the season, the fruit sets in at the beginning of winter, it will come to maturity at midsummer. Lemons are divided into two classes—the true and the bastard lemon. The former is produced by the April and May blooms, the bastard by the irregular blooms of February, March, June, and July, which depend upon the rainfall or regular irri¬ gation and the intensity of the heat dur¬ ing the summer and winter seasons. The true lemon requires nine months to reach maturity—from the bloom in May to the mature fruit in January. There are but three harvests of the true lemon; tho first in November, when the lemon is green in appearance and not fully ripe. These lemons are the most highly prized; they possess remarkable keeping quali¬ ties, and are admirably preserved in boxes in warehouses from November until March, and sometimes as late as May, and then shipped. The second harvest oc¬ curs in December aud Jar nary. These lentous must be shipped three weeks af¬ ter gathering, by which time they have acquired a yellowish appearance. The third harvest occurs in March and April. This fruit is shipped as soon as gathered, spring prices being very high. The uni¬ formity in size of lemons is due to the Monthly harvestings from October to March. Bastard lemons present well characterized peculiarities in shape and appearance; their inner skin is fine, and adheres tenaciously to the meat; they are hard, rich in acid, and seed¬ less. The bastard lemon, pro¬ duced from the bloom of June 1, is still green the following April, and ripens only toward the end of July. It remains on the trees over a year, and sells well in summer. Besides the March and June bastards, there are } T et others that remain on the trees from twelve to eighteen months. The true lemon can be left on the tree until the end of May or the first week in June; but it inter¬ feres with the new crop, drops off from over maturity, and is liable to be attacked by insects. The bastards, on the contrary, withstand bad weather and parasites, and they mature from June to October; It is estimated that four times more oranges than lemons are lost in the groves and warehouses, Good drainage is most essential in orange and lemon culture. In Sicily lemon cultivation is thirty per cent, more profitable than that of oranges, for the trees are more prolific and tiie prices higher.—Scientific Ameri¬ can. Oyster Statistics. In his speech before the Georgia LegSs- ldtlirc OH LOG OJSt(.*r l)ili o&pc&ill t;rOiC aOH, of Chatham, quoted some interesting fig- ures. “Five per cent, of the Georgia coast,” said he, “is m natural oyster bees. Now many people know wlnit tii.it means in dollars and cents,” A commission was appointed by the State of Maryland to investigate the oyster laws of other States and countries and perfect the laws of their own State, in their report the commissioners point to the laws of Rhode Island as a model code in that respect. Calculating oa results obtained in Rhode Island, the commis- sioners estimate the oyster beds of Mary- land can easily be made worth £2,000,- 000,000. On the same basis the Georgia beds shouM !>u worth to the State not less than •'■800,000.000. There are 1,000.- 000 acres in oyster beds there and 400,000 in Georgia. Within the next twenty years the oyster industry will be, next to agriculture, the most important industry in Georgia.—. At Ian ta Con si it ut ion.

COWS SERENADED THEM. How an Ohio Couple Were Greeted on Their Marriage Eve. There was great fun out in Delaware township the other n glit. Mer.e Sours, jbout sixtj-lno \ ears old, married a girl of seventeen summers, and the boys tLo wav o{ a elmrivari. The mis •'hief- makers came to this city and purchased two pailfuls of blood, fresh from a slaughter the newly-married house, and carried it out where the night. As couple December were to spend May had retired soon as and these boys slipped into d surrounding the house and P°uied a stream entirely around t lie . ?•' m N ft ceomphshed this od on C * W8 into theyanl'auTtLn comtaT- themsolvcs to await developments. The fun began at once. The cows no sooner sniffed the blood than they com- meuced bellowing frantically and could ea i y be hoard a mile aw*av. Other cows “caught on’' and soon there came ft procession of bovine* from nearly every farm in the township, all bellow- ^ the uiost vehement manner. “‘Ugnt aH d stamped and pawed ^ gvoimd an l bellowe 1m chorus urn til the bridal couple 4. fairlv went wild froA the ftUlloyanc When the tumult was at its height the bride groom, envel¬ oped in a red flannel garment,wasseeu to emerge from the door with a huge club in his hand, but his appearance in such a costume and what only follows added fuel to the flame, cannot be truthfully described. The maddened rattle charged at the red figure, aud the old man made oik) run around the house, which would have beaten tlio world's sprinting rec¬ ord, and just managed to get baek within the door as the horns of the fore¬ most animal in the peeeCssion tore a generous piece out of his red flannel garment, the bride in the meantime screaming and again at the top of her voice. Again ber during the night did Decern charivari attempt to dispose of his unique party, but without avail, as often would they return to their bloodv trail. All this time the cows were augmenting than in number until not less 200 cattle sniTOiindod the house, while from every direction came the answering the bellow of new recruits, has- tening to bridal demonstration which was so freely being bestowed upon old man Sours and his youthlul wife. Not a Wink of sleep came to the couple that night, but by early morning the cattle lmd so effaced ail trace of the blood by their pawing and tramping that it no by longer acted ns an attraction, and one bride one they left the old man and his in their glory. It was the strang¬ est and most successful charivari on record. Casting In Steel and Bronze. The old Hindoo art of uniting differ¬ ent metals by casting, has been revived in a Boston foundry. Steel and bronze are now cast together by casting the bronze put of the object first, then cleaning them and placing them in their proper position in a mold fur the entire object. Molten steel is then poured in, and it unites with the bronze wherever it comes in contact with it. Ilcr Fnc® Wn* Her Fortune.
