Iho other hoad is in groat distress of mind over the quarrel.

BT JEAN INGELOW; Who is tliis ? A carcles little mid shipman, idling about in a great city, with his pockets . full of money. He is waiting for tho coach ; it comes up presently. ’ And ho goes on tho top of it, and begins to look about him. They soon leave tho chimney tops behind them; lire eye wanders with delight over tho harvest fields. Ho smells tho honey-sucklc in tho hedge row and wishes he was down among the hazel bushes that he might strip them of tho milky nute ; then he sees a great waiued piled up with barlay, and he wishes he was on the top of it; then the checkered shadows of the ‘trees lying across tho white road, and then a squirrel runs up a bough, and ho cannot forbear to wlioopi and hal loo, though he cannot chase it to its nest. Tho other passengers wore delighted with his simplicity and child like glee ; and they oucouragod him to talk about tho sea and the ships, especially Her Majesty’s, wherein ho has tho honor to sail, in the jargon of the seas, he describes her many perfections, upon her peculiar advantages ; lie then con fides to them how a certain middy, having been ordored to the mast-head as a punishment, had seen, while sit ting cn tho top mast cross trees, some thing uncommonly like the sea-serpent —but finding this hint received with incredulous smiles, ho begins to tell them how ho hopes that somo day ho shall bo promoted to have charge of the poop. The passengers hope ho will havo that honor; they have no doubt that he deserves it. Ilis cheeks flush with pleasure to hoar them say so, and ho little thinks that they have no notion in what “that honor’ may happen to consist. Tho coach stops ; tho midshipman, with his hands in his pockets, sits rat tling his money and singing. There is a ptoor woman standing by the door of tlie villago iun ; she looks careworn, and well she may, for in tho spiring her husband went up> to London to seek for work. He goes for work, and sko was expecting soon to join him there, when, alas 1 a fellow work man wrote hor word how ho had met with an accident, how ho was very bad, and wanted his wife to como and nurse‘ him. lfut as she has two chil dren, and destitute, she must walk all tho way, and she is sick at heart when sho thinks that porhaps ho may die among- strarigcrs boforo she can reach him. She does not think of bogging, but seeing tho boy’s eyes attracted to her, she makes a courtesy, and he with draws his hand and throws down a sovereign. Sho looks at it with in credulous joy, and thou she looks at him. “It’s all right,” ho says, and tho coach starts again, while full of grat itude, she hires a cart to take her across the country to the railway, that tho next night she may sit by tho bed side of her sick husband. The midshipman knows nothing about that—and he never will know. Tho passengers go on talking the little midshipman has told them who ho is, and where he is going. But there is ono who has never joined m the conversation ; ho is a dark-looking and restless man—he sits apart, he sees the glitter of the falling com, and now he watches tho boy more closely than lie did before. He is a strong man, resoluto and de termined ; the boy with his pockets full of money will bo no match for him. Ho has told tho others chat his father’s house is the parsonage at y_ f the coach goes within five miles of it, and he means to get out at the nearest point, and walk, or rather run, over to his home through tho great WOOlla The man decided to got down, too, and go through tho wood ; he will rob the little midshipman ; perhaps, if he cries out and struggles, he will do worso. Tho boy, ho thinks, will have no chance against him; it is quite im possible that lie can escape; the way is lonely, and tho sun will bo down. No There seemed indeed iittio chance of liis escape ; the half-fledged DAWSON, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL (1, 1871. bird ju3t fluttering down from his nest has no more chanco against the keen oyod hawk, than tho littlo light-heort od sailor boy will havo against him. And now they roach tho villago whore tho boy is to alight. 110 wishes the other piassengors “Good evening 1” and runs lightly down betwoen the scattered house*. Tho man has also got down and is following. The path lies through tho villago church-yard; there is evening service, and tho door is wide open, for it is warm. Tho littlo midshipman steals Dp to tho porch, looks in and listens. The clergyman has just rison from his knees in the pulpit, and ia giving out his text. Thirteen months have passed since tho boy was in a house of prayor; and a feeling of pleasure induced him to stand still and listen. Ho hoars tho opening sentences cf tho sermon ; and then ho remembers Ids home, and comos softly out of tho parch, full of a calm and serious. pleas ure. Tho clergyman has reminded him of his father, and his careless heart is filled with the echoes of his voico and of his prayers. no thinks of what tho clergyman 3aid of tho care of our Heavenly fa ther for us ; ho remembers how, when ho left home, his father prayed that ho might bo preserved through every danger: he does not romomber any particular danger that ho has boom ox posed to, excepting in tlio great storm; but ho is grateful ho has como homo iu safety, and he hopes whenever ho shall bo in danger, -which ho supposes he will be somo day, ho hopes that then the providence of God will watch over him and protect him. And so he presses onward to the entranco of tho wood. “Aro not two sparrows,” ho hoars, “sold for a farthing ? and ono shall not fall to tho ground without your Father’s notice. But tho hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not, there fore, yo are of more value than many sparrows.” Tho man is there beforo him. ne has pushod himself into the thicket, and out, a heavy stake ; he suffers the boy to go on before ; and then ho comes out, falls into the path, and fol lows him. It is too light at present for his .deed of darkness, and too near tho entrance of tho wood, but he knows that shortly the path will branch off into two, and tho right ono for the boy to tako will bo dark and lonely. But what prompts tho littlo mid shipman, when not fifty rods from the branching of tho path, to break into a sudden run ? It is not fear—he nev er dreams of danger. Somo sudden impulse, or wild wish for homo makes him dash off suddenly after his saun ter, with a whoop and bound On ho goes as if running a race; tho piath bends, and tho man loses sight of him. “But I shall have him yet,” ho thinks; ho cannot kecy up tho space long.— Tho boy lias nearly reached the place whore the piath divides, whon ho starts up a white owl, that can scarcely fiy as ho goes whirling along close to the ground boforo bim. Ho gains upion it; another moment and it will bo his. Now ho gets the start again; they como to the branching of the paths, and the bird goes down tlio wrong one. The temptation to follow it is too strong to be resisted; he knows that somewhore, doep iu tho wood, there is a cross track by which be can get into tho track ho has loft; it is on ly to run a littlo faster, and ho shall be homo nearly as soon. On he rushes; the path takes a bond, and ho is just out of sight when his pursuer comes whero the piatli di vides. The boy has turned to the right —the man takes the left, and the fast er they both run tho further they aro asunder. Tho white ow l still leads him on ; tho path gets darker and narrower; at last ho finds that ho has missed it altogether, and his feet are on the soft ground. He flounders about among the trees and tho stumps, vex ed with himself, and panting after liis race. At last ho hits upon another track and pushes on as fast as ho can. Tho ground begins sensibly to des cend ; ho has lost his way—but he keeps bearing to tho left; and though it is now dark, ho thinks ho must reach tho main path sooner or later. He does not know this part of the woods, but runs on. Oh, little mid shipman, why did you chase tho owl '! If you had kept the path which tho dark man behind you, there was a chance that you might outrun him, or, if ho had overtaken you, some pass ing wayfarer might havo heard your cries, and como to save you Now you are running straight on to your death, for the forest water is deep and black at the bottom of this hill. Oh, that tho moon might como out and show it to you I The moon is under a thick canopy of heavy black clouds, and there is not a star to glittor on the water and make it visible. Tho fern is soft un der liis feet as he runs and slips down tho sloping hill. At last he strikos against a stone, stumbles and falls.— Two minutes more and he will fall in to tho black water. “Heyday !” criod the boy, “what’s this ? Oh, how it tears my hands ! Oh ! this thorn-bush ! Oh ! my arm ! I can’t get froe !” He struggles and pants. “All this comes of leaving the path,”ho says ;“I shouldn’t have cared for rolling down if it hadn’t been for this basic Tho fern was soft enough. I’ll never stray away in a wood at night again. There, free at Lust! And my jacket nearly torn off my back . ’ With a good deal of patience, and a groat many scratches, lie gots free of the thorn which has arrested his iro >toss whon his feet wero within a yard of the water, manages to serarn- bio to the bank, "and makes the best of his way through tlio wood. And now. as the clouds move slow ly onward, tlio mo, u shows her face on the black surface of tho water and the Littlo white owl comes and hoots, and flutters over it like a wandering snow-drift’ . But the boy is iu tho w ood again, and knows nothing of the danger from which he has .escaped. All this time the dark passengor fol lows tho main teach, and believes that tho boy is ahead of him. At last he hears a crashing of dead boughs, and pirosently the littlo midshipman’s voice fifty yards before him. Yes, it will piass tho cottage in the wood directly, and after that his pursuer will come upon him. The boy bounds into tho path ; but as he 8003 the /; '*tago, he is thirsty, and so hot, iiflw tie tiiiuks he must ask tho inhabitants if they can sell him a glass of alo. Ho enters without ceremony. “Ale?” says tho woodman, who is sitting at his supper. “No, we have no alo ; but perhaps my wife can give thee a drink of milk. Come in.” So he comos in and shuts the door, and while he sits w aiting for the milk, footsteps pass. They aro tho footsteps of the pur suer, who goes on with the stake in his hand, angry and impatient that ho lias not yet como up) with him. The woman goes to tho dairy for milk, and the boy thinks she has gone a long timo. He drinks it, thanks her, and takes his leave. Faster and faster the man runs af ter him. It is very dark ; but there is a yel low streak in the sky, whero the moon is plowing up) a furrowed mass of gray clouds, and one or two stars aro blink ing through tbe branches of tho tr ties Fast the boy follows, and fast tho man runs on, with his weapon in his hand. Suddenly he hears the joyous whoop)—not before, but behind him. Ho stops and and listens noiselessly. Ho pushes himself pinto the thicket, and raises his stake, whon the boy shall pass. On he come3, running lightly; with his hands in his piocket. A sound strikes at the same instant tho ears of both and the boy turns back from tho very jaws of death to listen. It is tho sound of wheels and it draws rapidly nearer. A man comes up), driving a gig. “Ililloa 1” he says, iu a loud, cheerful voico. “What benighted yougster ?” “Oh, is it you Mr. Dr” says tho hoy; “no, I am not benighted , or, at any rate, I know my way out of tho woods.” The man drew futhor back among the shrubs- “YVhy, bloss the boy,” he hoars the farmer say. “To think of our meeting in this way ! The par son told mo that he was in hopes of seeing tlieo some day this week. I’ll give thee a lift. This is a lone place to be in this time o’ night. “Lone,” says the boy. laughing. “I don’t mind that; and if you know the way, it’s as safe as a quarter deck.”' So ho gots into farmor’s gig, and is onoo moro out of the roach of the pursuer. But tlio man knows that the farmor’s house is a quarter ot a mile nearer than the parsouago, and in that quarter of utile there is stiii a chanco of committing robbery. He determined still to mako tho attempt, and cuts across tho wood with such rapid strides that he reached the far mer’s gate just as the gig drives up to it. “Well, thank you, farmer,” says tho midshipman, as ho prepared to got down. “I wish you good night, gentlemen,’’ says the man, when ho passes. “Good night, friend,” tho farmer re plies “1 say, ray boy, it’s dark night enough ; but I have mind to drivo you ou to tho parsonage and hear the rost of this long tale of yours about tho sea-sorpent.” The littlo wheels go on again. They pass the man ; and he stands still iu tho road to listen till the sound dios away. Then lie flings his stake into hie hedge, and goes back again. His evil purposes havo all boon frustrated —the thoughtless boy has baftlod him at every stop Aud now tho little midshipman is at home; the joyful mcetiug has taken place; and when they all admired his growth ; and docided whom ho is like, and measured his hight on tho window frame, and seen him cat his supper, they begin to question him about his adventures, more for tho pleasure, of hearing him talk than any curiosity. “Adventures 1” says tho boy, seated betwoen father and mothor on the so fa. “Why, ma, 1 did write you an account of tho voyage, and ther’s noth ing else to toll. Nothing happened to-day—or at least nothing particular. Nothing particular—you camo by tho coach wo told you of •” asked the fath er. “0, yes, papa, and when wo got about twenty miles, there camo up a beggar, while we wero changing horses, and I threw down (as I thought) a shiling ; but as it fell, I saw it was a sovereign. Sho was very honest and showed me what it was, but I didn't take it back,, for you know, mamma, it is a long timo since I gave anything to any body. “Very true, my boy,” his mother an swers ; “hut you should nut bo car< - less with your money, and few beg gars aro worthy objects of charity. “I suppose you got down at the cross-roads '• ’ said his older brother. “Yes, and went through the woods. I should havo been hero sooner, if I hadn’t lost my way here.” “Lost your way said his moth er, alarmed; my dear boy, you should not havo lolt tho path at dust." ‘Oh, ma.’’ said tho little uiushq- man, with a smile, “you’re always thinking wo are in danger. If you could soo rao sometimos sitting at tho jib-boom end, or across the main-top mast, you would be frightened But w’hat danger can them liopin a wood ?" “Well, my boy,” sho answers. “1 don't w-ish to bo over anxious, and make my children uncomfortable by my fears. What did you stray from the path for ? ’ “Only to catch a little owl, mamma but I didn't catch her, after all. I got a roll down a bank, and caught my jacket against a thombush, which way rather unlucky. All ! throe large holes I soo iu my sloovo. And so I scrambled up again, and got into the right path, and asked at tho cottage for some beer. What a long timo the womaii kept mo, to be sure. But very soon after, Mr D drove up) iu his gig, and he brought me on to the gate” “And so this account of your adven tures being. brought to a closo,”his father says, “we discover thoro are no adventures to toll. “No, papa, nothing happened*— nothing particular, 1 mean.” Nothing, particular. If thoy could have known, they would have thought lightly in comparison of the,dangors of tho jib-boom’s end nnd tho main-top mast cross-treos. Bat they do nut know, any more than wo do, of tho dangers that hourly besot us. Some few dangers wo are aware of and we do what we can to provido against them; but for the greater portion our eyes behold that wo cannot see. Wo walk socurcly undor His guidance, without whom “not a sparrow falloth to the ground and when we havo had escapes that tho angels have ad mired at, we come home and say, per haps, nothing has happened—at "least nothing particular. It is not well that our minds should bo much exercised that those hidden dangers, since they aro so, and so groat that no human art or foresight can prevont them. .But it is very well that wo should reflect, constantly on that loving Providence which watches every footstep of a track always balan cing between them and eternity ; and such reflections should make us both happ>y and afraid afraid and trust ing our souls too much to an earthly security—happy from the knowledge that there is Oneyvith whom we may trust them wholly, and with whom the very hairs of our hoad are all numbered. Without such trust, how can we rest or bo at peace ? but with it wo may say with the Psalmist, “I will both lay mo down in pieaoe, and sleep, for thou, Lord, only makest me todwollin safety.” Wasted Hours. Ono hour a day is three hundred ;md sixty-five hours a year which reck oning ten hours a day’s work, amount to thirty-six dayß. That is to say, by saving one hour each day, wo can save thirty-eix full working days in a yoars time. Again, tluyo hundred and six ty-five hours aro equal to soventy three daj’s, of fivo hours each, and it has boon computed that two hundred such days-closely devoted to reading aro sulliciont to make an iudivual of ordinary intelligence thoroughly con versant with English literature. That is to say, by reading one hour each day, wo can become, at tho end of three yoars, well -road individuals- These striking estimates should be forced homo particularly on tho atten tion of those who daily waste an hour or more during tho winter mornings; who lie half sleeping, half waking, for somebody to strike a light and kin dle the fire; who instead of springing from their couches and applying them selves to some kind of labor, indul gently wait upon tho movements of domestics. This habit, so tempting and tenacious, once fixed, costs an in dividual very many of tho most pre cious hours of his life. The above suggestions aro worthy ol' the consideration of thosa who complain, as a justification for igno rance,'thatTUoy havo no time to read; that thoro is never a moment to sparo for books, now many wasted .mo monte could such persons count up every night before retiring. Those who spend their evenings at tho cor ner grocery or taverns ; who exchange stories by tho hour witli convivial companions; who tarry long over din ners ; who devote night after night to theatres aud ocher places of amuso mont, which aro neither instructive nor elovatiug; who sit around tho fire, hour after hour, gossippiug about tueir neighbors, magnifying their faints and belittling their virtues; who dovoto tho horns of car or boat passago to and irom businoss to small talk, or tho reading of tho unimpor tant dissipating details, personal con troversies, scan lals and revelations with which daily papers are too often paddod ; who promenade the avenues in fine linen, to seo and bo seen ; who squander the summer mouths at wa tering places and other fashionable re sorts —should, ono and all, count up their misspent lioiys for ono week, it they wouid realize how largo a por tion of their livoa absolutely goes to waste. Whoever makes a point to improve every moment of time, is certain to achieve success in tlus world, no mat ter what his vocation or opportunities. Whoever aims to Locouio informed, can do so by giving to books tho mo ments which aro usually frittered away. Merchanf, mechanic, farmer or tradesman, it matters not what bis av ocation may be, he can secure enough moments each day to make him famil iar in time with the best authc rr.— Hearth <s' Home.
