Jfamilj 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. 4 -• A »- - ■! 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. INFALLIBLE HAIR E RESTI)RATIVE!! THIS IS ST® HAIR DYE.
