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. [to be continued.] PUZZLES. CHARADES. No. 4.
