metnbered his promise, and availed himself
of the first opportunity to return home.
He did live a different life, and afterward
became an efficient minister of the gospel.
This you sec the importance of an early re
ligious education. —Arthur Reid , Esq.
\ CBbm,
The Young Cast Away.
“ Mother 1 mother ! I must be a sailor !”
cried George Manson, as he sprang into his
mother’s parlor. “ I’ve been over all the
Royal William that’s in the harbor, and
the mate sajs I’m not too young, for he said
he was no older, and not nearly so big as I
when he first went to sea.”
“ He was too young, then, Georgie, by
half.’’ said Mrs. s’anson, putting her hand
fondly on his curly head; “ and perhaps
he had no mother to keep her boy at
home.”
“ And no sister,” sobbed a little girl, who
had been listening with very wide-awake
eyes to her brother. “ 0 Georgie ! why
do you want to go to the sea, and be drown
ed ?”
“ I don’t want to be drowned, Lizzy ; but
I must be a sailor,” said George.
Like many other boys, he thought him
self wiser than his mother, and all his leis
ure was spent at the harbor, among the
many vessels* loading there ; and as Eve
longed for the forbidden fruit, and looked
on its beauty until she could no longer re
sist the temptation, so it was with George
Manson. He had allowed the desire of
being at sea so to get possession of his
mind, that the wieked boy forsook his home
and joined the ship the day it sailed.
All went on prosperously for a time ; but
at the end of the first fortnight, a dreadful
fever broke out on board, and carried off
several of the crew. George was among
the first attacked, and Miller, the mate, one
of the last. There was a great change then
on board the vessel. Men who had mocked
at God and his holy word when in the pos
session of health and vigor, now trembled
at the thought of a coming eternity; and
George’s long-neglected Jiible was eagerly
read by many, and we may hope not read in
vain.
While the crew was thus diminished and
enfeebled, a storm, which had been gather
ing for days in the horizon, burst forth in
awful fury, and threatened instant destruc
tion to the heavily laden vessel. No time
was lost in throwing the greater part of the
cargo overboard All hands were at work,
except tl e poor mate, who lay dying of fever
in the cabin below All day long the ill
fated vessel and her crew fought bravely
against the storm, and hope lingered until
it became evident that a leak had sprung,
and that the ship was rapidly filling with
water. George ran down to warn his sick
friend, and try if possible to get him brought
to the deck ; but he refused to move. “ I’ll
only die a little sooner, boy,’’ he said ; “ and
why should I go am deck to see my poor
comrades perish ?” Night closed in around
the doomed vessel. The life-boat had long
before been swept away by the storm, and
all the poor seamen could now do was to
lash some broken plank together, so as to
form two rude rafts, which they eagerly
clung to as their only chance of escape.
The larger and stronger of the two, on which
were the captain and six men, drifted for a
moment down the tide like a feather driven
before the wind, and then disappeared for
ever among the breakers. The lighter raft
rose more easily on the waves; but one by
one the poor men who clung to it were wash
ed away, until, Mhcn morning dawned,
George Manson found himself all alone on
the angry sea. Perhaps you think George
would then remember his wickedness, and
pray for forgiveness ; but this was no time
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
to prepare for death. The present was all
in all to him; and as each wave came near,
there rose the awful doubt, “ Shall 1 mount
over this wave too, or will it bury me be
neath its waters?” And when at last a
white sail appeared in the distance, there
was the one thought, “Will they see me?
Will they hear me ? Shall I be saved or
not ?”
I here was a lull in the storm ; the home
ward-bound ship drew near. As it changed
its course, and made towards the little rock
ing raft, George could no longer doubt that
he was seen. Yes, he was seen, and he was
saved ; and when the poor worn-out sailor
boy lay at rest in a comfortable berth, then
indeed he thought of his sin, and of the
death he had so narrowly escaped, and
longed, like the prodigal son n the parable,
to see his mother once more, and to say as
he said, “I have sinned against Heaven,
and in thy sight, and am no more worthy
to be called thy son ’’
Such was George Manson's first voyage,
but not his last; for after two years spent
at home, he sailed again with the full con
sent of his mother, who lived to see him
become an honored and Christian seaman.
And now, dear children, think for a mo
ment il his story has not a word of warning
for you. You may bo now in happy homes,
and living so far away from the sea that you
have never heard its roar nor seen its glory ;
but each child that breathes is, in truth, a
voyager sailing across the sea of life, and
in danger of being thrown a shipwrecked
castaway upon its waters. Ah ! think what
a castaway would theu mean. It iVould
mean cast away from God, from Jesus, from
the holy (Spirit; east away from heaven,
and from the holy, shining multitude who
are praising God there; and it would mean
cast away into outer darkness forever.
Dear children, this is an awful truth ; but
there is a brighter side to the picture; for
“ God is not willing that any should perish ;’’
and the Saviour, who still says, “ Suffer
little children to come unto Me,’’ is willing
to sail with you all, and to lead you safely
to the heavenly shore.
The Letter of Introduction.
Two little boys were standing at a gate.
They were both about the same age. Hut
one of them was finely and tastefully dress
ed, while the clothes of the other were coarse
and ragged. It was in the autumn. The
buskers were busy in the cornfield, and from
the strip of woods beyond float out the sound
of the wood-cutter’s ax.
“Have you no better clothe;, Denny?”
asked the well-dressed boy.
“No I haven’t, Johnny.”
“Why don't you get better ones ?”
“Because I can’t. I have no money. I
can’t get work by which to earn money.”
“That is bad, Benny. Are you are going
to school this winter ?”
>
“I guess not, Johnny. I must stay out
and do such little jobs as I can find to do.
I would like to go to school very much. I
wish I know as much as you do Johnny.”
“Pooh ! I don’t know anything. lam
sorry for you. lam glad that lam better
off. But that does not make me feel proud.
It is a sin to be proud. God made you as
good as I am, if your clothes are ragged.”
Benny took his little friend by the hand.
A tear glistened in his eye.
“You have always been kind to mo, Johnny
Allen,” said he. “You have never hooted
at me, nor taunted me, like the other boys.
So I have sometimes taken up your qmrrels ;
and I will stand by you when we are men.’’
“Look here, Benny ! How would you
like to work on a farm all winter ? Good
clothes, enough to eat, a little pocket-money,
a nice family to live with, and plenty of
work
“I would like that.”
“Then I can help you. It just occurred
to me. My uncle Abbott wants a little boy
on his farm. E will uiveyou a letter to him.
Two days afterwards Bunny stood in front
of uncle Abbott, awaiting a reply. Uncle
Abbott was a pleasant-looking old man, not
yet stooped, but with hair quite gray. He
put on his spectacles, opened John Allen’s
letter, and read as follows :
“Meiiow Brook, Oct !), Eighteen 4.3
“Unkle abbut ThiS iS Benny lie is a
irood Boy. lie iS Poor & lias no Home
Pleas Keep Him & giv Him worK.
“your Noffew
JoNn aLLen.’’
Now, Johnny was quite a small boy, and
not so well learned as Benny supposed him
to be. But notwithstanding the spelling,
misuse of capitals, and the want of punctu
ation, the letter of introduction was sufficient
Uncle Abbott gave Benny a home fora num
ber of years.
It was an October night, in Philadelphia.
The air was as cold as November. It was
late, and there was uot much noise on the
streets. It> a cozy room sat a m in. He
looked careworn and haggard. He shaded
his brow with his hands. His wife a beau
tiful woman, stood beside him, smoothing
his hair, and speaking words of encourage
ment to him.
“It is no use, Belle” he groaned. “If I
cannot command ten thousand dollars by
to-morrow noon, l must go to the will. The
banks are tight, there is no money to be
negotiated for on the street, lam a ruined
man.’’
“Perhaps this may be of use to you,” said
his wife, handing him a slip of paper.
He went to the lamp, and read as follows :
“Pun.a , Out. !) th, 18G5.
“First National Bank Philadelphia —
Pay to John Allen, or order, ten thousand
dollars.
“Benjamin Berwick.” |
“Belle, what does this mean ? It is a
check for ten thousand dollars. Who is
Benjamin Berwick ?”
“The gentleman stopped here to day.
You were not in. He felt sorry, and left
the check and this note.”
u My Old, Friend, Johnny Allen —While
in the city to day, I heard 'that the failure
of your bank would seriously affect you Do
you remember the letter of introduction you
gave me to your uncle Abbott? It was ex
actly twenty years ago. A few years ago I
bought land in \ cnango County. It prov
ed to have oil on it, and I am quite a rich
man. If the accompanying check will aid
you any, please use it. You can make it all
right some time.
“lour friend, Benny.”
John Allen cried. John Allen ki-sed his
wife, and his wife kissed him, John Allen
did not go to the wall—which means to
break up. And all on account of that mis
spelt letter of tweuty years before. —Little
Corporal.
