PERRY WYNKKI.E,
WRITTEN FOR THE BUENA VISTA ARGUS
johnny au.£tss.
BY JOHN W. HOWSON,
Chapter I.
Mrs. Malee was a widow, and lived
in a poor tenement house in the city
of S., and supported herself and her
little boy, Johnny, by working at her
needle. She had been better oil' at
one time, but those d:iys were
now, and she vrs left alone, having
no one to cai-e for but Johnny.
Having no sympathy with the pov
erty and vice that surrounded her,
she was unmolested, and passed in
and ut, unnoticed.
had been in S. about a year,
me night she was taken ill
iily, and did in a few hours.
t: had to be buried on the follow
ing day, in the paupers’ part of the
cemetery, at the expense of the
county.
When the body of the poor woman
had been laid in the ground, the kind
officer, upon whom this duty had
been imposed, made search for the
little boy, but Johnny was nowhere
to be found.
. he reason of Johnny’s disappear
ance was simply this:
Not o'd enough to appreciate his
great loss, but old enough to know
that his only protector had been ta
ken away from him, early in the mor
ning after his mother’s death, John
ny wandered down to the river. He
had often heard his mother say that
he had an uncle living in the city of
A, and that it was on the river. He
now saw a steamboat at the wharf,
and he at once stepped aboard, and
wandered up to the state-room and
sat down by the fire.
It was all confusion on board the
boat; hands running back and forth,
some halloing, and then the noise
ceased —the boat had left the wharf,
and was furrowing its way up the
river.
He had been sitting by the fire
about an hour when the clerk noticed
him for the first time.
“I say, what’s your name ?”
“Johnny Malee.”
He was a young man, with a full
face and black mustache, and an
evil, evil looking eye.
“Where you going ?” he asked.
“I want to go to A.”
“You know how mucli it costs to
go there ?”
“No, sir.” It was the first time
the little lellow had thought about
having to pay his way, and he was
frightened.
“It costs three dollars. How much
money you got?”
“I havn’t got any,” said Johnny,
and he began to cry.
The clerk threw his head back and
laugh* and.
“Come this way,” said the man,
he beckoned to Johnny to follow
He led him to a ladder going
through the top of the boat, and told
Lim to go up. He did so, and the
clerk followed him, pinching his legs
all the way up, because he would not
walk faster.
Johnny found himself on top of the
boat, by the pilot-house. He saw
the man in there at the wheel, and
he saw a good many buckets full of
•water sitting around on the edge of
the black and soot-covered roof. He
saw a full whiskered man standing in
between the two great black chim
neys; and to this man the clerk led
Johnny, and said,
“Here’s a little vagabond, without
any money, who wants to go to A.”
The captam of the boat (for such
the man was) turned to Johnny with
a hard, searching look, but it soften
ed as he met the honestliltie fellow’s
eyes.
“Tell us who you are and what you
are, and why you want to go to A.”
And Johnny, in his simple childish
way, told him all he knew about him
self, and about his mother’s death,
and about his uncle who his mother
had told him lived in A., and how he
came to bo on the steamboat, and the
captain believed it, every word of it,
for ho knew that it was the truth.
The captain told him ho could go
to A. for nothing. So ho went back
to the state-room, and sat down by
the stove again, and tlio clerk never
troubled him any more.
The boat stopped often on the way
up, to take on freight and passen
gers, and next morning about light
the boat was hauled up the wharf of
the city of A.

competition within the field of its circulation,
nevertheless no effort will be considered too ex
pensive that gives the

will be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep i
fa- ahead of all its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered the paper so
popular will be maintained. The editoiial de

fied thoughtfulness, con ervative vigor, and
earnest
