THE INFANT VOYAGERS.
The bright glow of a summer evening
sunset was shed over the sea-shore of a
small fishing village in a beautiful part of
the coast of Devonshire. Boats lay moored
all along the sandy beach, here and there,
a few paces apart, studding the long bay as
it stretched in a semi-circle for nearly a
mile, bordered by the red cliffs, which jut
ted out to the east, in a rocky point.
The whole fishing population of the vil
lage seemed gathered to one spot, where
they were busily engaged in watching the
landing of a seine (a large net) which it
was supposed contained a great haul of
mackerel. And even the few gentry, or
casual visitors, who were drawn to this re
tired spot, were sitting or lounging near the
net, waiting for the liauling-iu to be accom
plished, and speculating upon the numbers
of fish likely to be landed.
Three children were to be seen on the
very opposite side of the bay, playing in and
about a small boat, which was lying a little
over on one side, moored by its anchor, just
below high water mark. The eldest, a girl
of eight years old, was intently reading a
biok, seated inside the boat, whilst every j
now and then she lifted her eyes to watch j
the movements of her little sister, a baby I
of two, who was building sand-hills ; or fill- j
ing her tiny hands with the dry sand, and |
throwing it up in the air. The third, a boy j
of five years of age, was digging a deep
hole, with his wooden spade, round the spot
where the anchor was loosely resting iu the
sandy beach.
“ Esther, Esther,” lisped the little one,
“ lift me up; I want to come into the boat
with you.”
Esther lcaued down her sweet face and
kissed the little one, as she lifted her into
the boat.
“ Come, Chubby, and sit here, and I’ll
tell you a pretty story out of the book I’m
reading,” said Esther.
“Let me come, too, Esther,” said Tommy.
The buy, as he threw down his spade and
sprang in after his sister, seated himself
astride on one. of the scats. “ Now, sister,
tell us one of your stories.’’
The fair child loosened the strings of her
white sun-bonnet to catch some of the even
ing breeze which was springing up after the
hot August day, and cut ling the crisp little
waves which were breaking upon the shore.
The story she fold them seemed very inter
esting to the little ones, for they gazed lov
ingly and quietly into Esther’s eyes, and
forgot all but the sound of her gentle voice,
until suddenly she stopped and exclaimed,
“ Why, Tommy, we are floating! Take j
hold of Chubby, while I push back with j
the oar.” |
Tommy sprang forward, near’y swinging
over the small boat, and seized Chubby, who
iustantly set up a loud scream.
“ 0, Tommy, Tommy ! there are *o oars
here, they are on the beach,” cried Esther.
“ What shall we do?”
“ I will take care of you,” said Tommy,
stoutly ; “ don’t mind : father will be sure
to see us.’’
“ No, no, he won’t, he won’t, Tommy,”
said Esther : “ he’s at the seine, ever so far
away, and we are going away out to sea so
fast.”
“ I will shout to him,” said Tommy, in a
faltering voice. “I am sure he will hear;”
and he hallooed to the utmost pitch of his
childish voice.
But the sound was borne away upon the
waters, and never reached the knot of men
who were gathered together at the distant
part of the beach, looking like a small dark
patch upon the sand.
“ Esther, can’t we hold up something for
a flag for them to see ?’’ said Tommy. —
“ What have got ? 0, here’s Chubby’s
pinny; let’s try that at leastand Chub
by held up her fat arms to let Esther take
off her pinafore, opening her large eyes, a
little frightened at Esther’s pale face, but
seeing little danger in being out at sea in
her father’s boat.
But they held up the tiny flag and shout
ed in vain. The receding tide was carrying
them fast from the land. The sun had just
set, and the August twilight was shorten
ing, while the breeze freshened around the
three hapless children, as in jkeir rudder
less, oarless bark, the night closed over
them.
Tommy at last broke down, and burst in
to violent sobs; while poor little Chubby
only fretted, saying,
“ I so hungry ; take me home to mother,
dear Esther. Let Chubby go home to sup*
per.”
Esther nestled the little one closely into
her bosom, and tried to cheer Tommy, who
clung also to her, starting as the boat rose
and sank with the increasing swell.
“ 0, Esther,” said he, “ 1 was a naughty
boy last night. I ate up the cake mother
told me to take to Chubby. I should not
like to be drowned now. Do you think we
shall ever get safe home ?’’
“ God can take care of us, Tommy,” said
Esther, in a solemn voice. “ Let us ask
Him now ; shall we ?”
And the two ehildish voices joined in
murmuring a simple, faithful supplication
to Him who said to the waves, “Peace, be
still, and they obeyed Him.
Then, calmed and comforted, and exhaust
ed by crying, Tommy sank down close to
Esther, and slept. Chubby’s big eyes had
long closed, and her infant face was resting
in perfect repose on her sister’s loving arms.
But Esther slept not. Her eyes were
raised to the dark vault of heaven above her
head, and as she watched the bright stars of
the summer night, twinkling one by one,
and seeming to move as the motion of the
waves carried the boat onward, she felt no
fear. She trusted in the love of Him who
had made those bright and beautiful stars;
she placed herself and her dear little brother
and sister in His hands. And though now
and then large silent tears coursed each
other down her cheeks, they were caused
by a thought of the sorrow of the dear
mother at home, waiting and loDging hope
lessly for her children’s return. It was a
a hard struggle as the night drew on, and
the boat tossed to and fro upon the waves;
but still she sought to comfort herself in
the thought of God’s care. Many were the
prayers she offered that, for Christ s sake,
who loved the little children, He would pre
serve them in their fearful peril.
The haul was a large one, and it was long
before the fishermen had made a just divi
sion of the spoil. Many fish were cried
around the village for sale before the men
returned to their homes for the ni"ht. Es
ther Sedgewick, the children’s mother, had
prepared their evening meal. The little
round table was covered with a neat white
table-cloth, and three little basins, in grada
tions of size, were placed upon it, filled with
bread. The milk was standing ready warm
ed upon the hob, whilst something more sa
vory was steaming in a pot, ready for the
tired fisherman’s supper. The kind wife
was leaning down to lift the pot from the
fire, when her husband’s well-known step
was heard on the threshold.
“ Why, Thomas, I thought you were nev
er coming. llow came you to keep the
children out so late ? It’s quite dark.’’
“ The children ! Why, I thought they
were at home in bed long ago. They’ve not
been near the seine at all.’’
The mother started up, and looked in her
husband’s face. A thrill of dread ran
through her frame : she hoped he was jok
ing : but no : his face said he was in earnest.
She rushed to the door.
“ Don’t be frightened, mother,’’ said he.
“ They’re safe enough down on the beach,
I’ll be bound—waiting for me, perhaps.”
But he left his supper untasted, and hur
ried down after his wife to the beach ! Eve
ry moment fear and undefined horror seizing
their poor hearts, and almost paralyzing
them. The poor parents came at last upon
Tommy’s spade, and the hole dug round the
anchor, which was still left in the sand where
Tommy had untied it from the rope which
was secured to the boat The boat was.
gone. There lay the oars, and the truth
flashed upon the father at once.
» “They must have drifted out to sea,”
said he, iu a hoarse, hollow voice “God
have mercy on the p or innocents !’’
A wail of anguish was all that burst from
the mother’s lips She thought that even
then she might be chadless.
The neighbors were soon aroused, and
deep and hearty was the sympaihy excited
for the poor little helpless'ones on the broad
waters. Seven boats were immediately push
ed off iu search of the lost ones, and it was
agreed that the women on shore should col
lect a heap of firewood, and if one of the
boats returned successful in their search,
they should at once set fire to it as a signal
of recall to those who were still out. As
the last boat was berng pushed off, a rough
looking sailor turned to his son, saying—
“ Jem, have you got the grappling irons ?
May be we shall want them. They’ll cap
size on the rocky point if they’ve got into
the eddy, and the tide will leave the bodies
among the low rocks.’’
“ Ay, ay, father,” was all Jem’s answer;
but the mother’s ear, quickened by fear,
had heard it all, and' a deep groan escaped
her.
She sat and waited. She had hardly
hope enough left to add to the heap of fag
gois the women were bringing; she sat si
lent and almost unheeded :—she to whom
the lighting of that fire was to bring life or
death. She heard the neighbors talkin",
but she scarcely knew what they said.
“ Poor Mrs. Sedgewick !” said one; “’tis
a sad thing for her. Such sweet, pretty
children, too!”
And so they weut on talking as the hours
passed wearily on, and no boats returned,
and no other sound was heard but the beat
ing of the waves against the shore, and the
gurgling of the pebbles as they receded.
“Where’s the matches, Martha?’’said
one old woman who was sitting by the heap
of wo and. “ It’s getting mortal cold. 1 must
light, my pipe.’’
There was some wrangling and disputing
between the women, then a scream and scuf
fle. and then poor Mrs. Sedgewick was
aroused from her dreamy stupor, by seeing
the fire crackliog and blazing beside her :
that, signal fire which was to recall the men
from the search ! In vain they tried to
stifle the flames, which, fanned by the night
breeze were rising high, and casting a red
glare around. It was in vain that the almost
frantic mother dipped water from the sea at
her feet to quench the false signal. But it
was too late ; after awhile the sound of oars
upon the distant water was heard. They
approach nearer and nearer, till the b*at.»
touched the shore, and each man sprang out,
hoping that the signal had been one of joy
ous recall, and that the innocent causes of
their anxiety had been brought home by one
more successful than himself.
Sixbbossa f s touched the shore. The last of
the six contained the poor broken-hearted
father. His wife’s look told him, as he
stepped heavily out of the boat, that the
search had, as yet, been fruitless, and ho
brushed away a tear as he saw her implor
ing, hopeless eyes fixed on him
Ah, Esther, poor soul!’» said he, “we
must not give it U P yet; we must start again.
Cheer up, my woman.”
But her sigh was almost turned into a
groan as he turned from her to a group of
men who were standing a little apart, con
sulting as to what should be done next.
The gray streaks of dawn were showing
themselves on the horizon as the friendly
fishermen were setting themselves to renew
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
the search. The seventh boat had not come
in, but a faint speck was seen in the far, far
distance. If is coming nearer, and faces are
turned toward it with expectation, with
something like hope It is approaching:
still distant, but increasing in size and dis
tinctness. The poor mother dared not look,
for she knew that the seventh boat eontain
ed Jem and his father, and she pictured to
herself the reason of his detention. He
had, she thought, gone to the rocky point,
and had thus been hidden from the false
signal-fire. Perhaps with those grappling
irons he had brought back the lifeless bodies
of her children ! How could she bear to
see them ! She hid her face, she even cov
ered her ears; but she' could not still the
threbbings of her aching heart.
The boat eame nearer—nearer. The reg
ular rise and fall of the oars seemed never™
ending. It was difficult to distinguish the
figures in the dim light of early morning,
and yet there were figures—yes, more than
two. The oars were unshipped as the boat
touched the shore, and Jem’s father sprang
out, bearing a tender burden in his arms,
little Chubby, red and rosy as ever, holding
out her arms, and saying—
“ I come back again, father, I he!”
Tommy followed, carried on Jem’s back,
while he led Esther, pale trembling, and
wet with spray, to her mother’s side.
0, how sweet were the clicking tears of
joy which wetted the face of the fair child
as she was clasped in an embrace which
seemed as if it would never end ! Ilow
Tommy cried and laughed by turns as lie
told about the cake he had eaten. And how
was little Esther's faith strengthened ! How
great her confidence in her heavenly Fa
ther’s love, who had answered the prayer of
his feeble child, and brought her Into safety
to her earthly parents once again, though
danger and even death seemed to be inevit
able. — Sunday at Home.
An Illustration. —Dr. Adam Clark
was preaching to a large congregation in
Ireland, and after dwelling in glowing terms
upon the freeness of the gospel, and telling
that the water of life could be had “ with
out mouey and without price,” at the con
clusion of the serums a person announced
that a collection would be made to support
the gospel in foreign parts. This announce
ment. disconcerted the preacher, who after
wards related the circumstance to the lady
of the house where he was staying. “Very
true, Doctor,” replied the hostess, “ the
water of life is free,‘without money and
without price,’ but we must pay for pitchers
to carry it in.”
Counter-Prayer —Learn to pray mod
erately for the lives of Christ’s people.
Who can tell but Christ and we are praying
counter to one another? He saying in
heaven, “Father, I will have such a one to
be with me where I am, that he may behold
my glory,” and we saying on earth, “Father
we would have him where we are, he say
ing, “I wili be no longer without him,’’and
we saying, “ We cannot spare him as yet.”
It is the force of this prayer of Christ that
is the cause of the death of godly. — Traill’s
Commentary.

A Word to Little Boys.
Who is respected ? It is the boy who
conducts himself well, who is honest, dili™
gent, and obedient in all things. It is the
boy who is making an effort continually to
respect his father, and to obey him in what
ever he may direct to be done. It is the
boy who is kind toother little boys, who re
spects age, and who never gets into diffi
culties, and quarrels with his companions.
It is the boy who leaves no effort untried
to improve himself in knowledge and wis
dom every day, who is busy and active in
endeavoring to do a good act toward others.
Show me a boy who obeys his parents, who
is diligent, who always has a friendly dis
position, and who applies himself diligently
to get wisdom, and to do good toward others,
and if he is not respected and beloved by
every body, then there is no such thing as
truth in the world. Remember this, little
boys, aud you will be respected by others,
and you will grow up and become useful
men.
Boys Using Tobacco.—A strong and
sensible wiiter says a good, sharp thing, and
a true one, too, for boys who use tobacco.
It has utterly spoiled and utterly ruined
thousands of boys. It tends to softening
and weakening of the* bones, and it greatly
injures the brain, the spinal marrow, and
the whole nervous fluid. A boy who smokes
early and frequently, or in any way uses
large quantities of tobacco, is never known
to make a man of much energy, and gener
ally lacks muscular and physical as well as
mental power. We would particularly warn
boys, who want to be anything in the world,
to shun tobacco as a most baneful poison.

lne ti i.bers used in its construction are much small
