a& Oat of Danger,
BY JXAN ISQIXOW.
TTbo is tills ? A etreleas little mid
hipmn, Idling about ia a great city,
with bis pockets fall of money.; He is
waiting for the coach ; it camei up pres
ently. And he goes on top of it, and
begins to look about him.
. They aooo leave the chimney tops be
bind them ; his eye wanders with delight
orer the harvest fields. He smells the
honeysuckle ia the hedge row and wish
es he was down among the hazel bushes
that be might strip them of tho milky
oats then be sees a great wain .piled
up with barley, and he wishes he was on
the top of it ; then the checkered shad
ows of the trees lying across the road,
and then a squirrel runs up a bough, and
be cannot forbear .to whoop and halloo,
though he cannot chase it to its nest.
The other passengers were delighted
with his simplicity and child-like glee;
and they encouraged him to talk about
the sea and tbe ships, especially Her
Majesty's, wherein he has the honor ' to
ail. In the jargon of tho sea; 'lie des
cribes her many perfections' -upon her
peculiar advantages ; he then confides to
thetn how a certain middy', h&vferg been
ordered to the mast head as a punishment
had seen, while sitting on the top-mast
cross trees, something uncommonly like
the : sea serpent but finding tbijf'hint
was received with incredulous smiles, he
begins to tell them how he 'hopes that
some day he shall be prombtedJ-to: have
charge of the poop. The passengers
hope he will have that honor jhey base
no doubt that he deserves it. II is cheeks
flush with pleasure to hear them say so,
and he little thinks that , they have ' no
notion in what "that honor' may; happen
to consist. -!.'
The coach stops ; the midshipman,
with his bands in his pockets, sits rat
tling his money and singing. There is a
poor woman standing by the door of the
Village inn; she looks careworn, and well
she may, for In the spring her husband
wtfnt up to London to seek for work. lie
goes for work, ard she was j expecting
soon to join him there, when, alas I a
fellow workman wrote her word bow he
'.. :.t. v

and nurse Lim. But as she has two
children, and is destitute, she must walk
all the way, an3 she is sick at heart when
she thinks that perhaps he may die
among strangers before she can reach
him.
She docs not think of begging, but
seeing the buy's ryes attracted to her,
she makes a courtesy, and he withdraws
bis hand and throws down a sovereign.
She looks at it with incredulous jcy, and
then she looks at h:in.
"It's all right," he says, and the coach
starts again, while full of gratitude, she
hires a cart to take her across the country
to the railway, that the next night the
may sit by tbe bedside of her sick hus
band. The midshipman knows nothing about
that and ha never will know.
' J.ne passengers go on raising tne 11;
tle midshipman has told them who he is,'
and whera he is going. But there is one
who ha3 r.ever joined in the conversation;
he is a dark-looking and restless man
he sits apart, Le sees the glitter of the
failing coin, and now he watches the
boy more closely than he did before.
. He is a strong man, resolute and de
termined ; the boy with his pockets full
of money will be no match for him. . He
has told the others that his father's house
is the parsonage at Y , tho coach
goes within five miles of it, and he means
to tret out at the nearest point, and wait
or rather run, over to his home through
. the great wood. F ,
, The man decided to get down, too, and
go through the wood; he will rob the
little midshipman ; perhaps, if be cries
oat and struggles, he wili do worse. The
boy. .he thinks,, will have no chance
mint him it ia nn!u imnnasible that
be can escape; . the way is lonely r and
' the sun will be down. ' -
No. Tbere seemed indeed little chance
f his escape ; the half-fledged bird just
flattering down from 1 bis nest - has no
more chance against tbe keen eyed hawk,
than the little light-hearted sailor boy
will have against him.- ' - i -an
And now thpv reach the village where
the boy is to align t. uo . wisnes tne
ether passengers -Good evening!'? s and
runs lightly down between the1 scattered
booses. T be roan has also got down ana
is following, i? c. , .' -. in --
...... - - f- - e-
ebarch-yard ; there is eveairigiervlcef
and, the door is wide opeo, r'qr it ; was
warm. The little midshipman steals vp
to tbe porch, looks in and listens. " TJre
. clergyman has just risen from his knees,
ia the pulpit, and is giving-ont ther text.
Thirteen months have passed, 'since ' lira
boy was in a houseof prayer ; rCml a feel-iag-:;of
pleasure induced hiaf Jstawf
till and listen. ; y - . V'.?-.
He bears the opening sentences of the
sermon ; ' and - theft ho rcmcftWrs 3m
borne, and comes softly but of IbaPporcK
full of a calm and serious pleatmrai. Tho
clergyman bas reminded biiif Kbf Tfis
father, and his careless heart' 'Is fiBed
with the echoes of bis voice anil .of ibis
prayers. . s n( '" - -
He thinks of what the clergy man 6atd
af the care of cut Heavenly . lather for
us; he remembers how, when heleft
borne,' his father prayed that he might
suMaavwA ltvsi rwK avAPV lino
dot not remember any particular danger
thai be bas been, exposed to, excepting
in tho great storm;' but be is grateful he
baa oome - borne in safety, and he hopes
whenever be shall be in danger; which he
opposes ho shall be some day, he hopes
that then the providence: of God wili
vaiab over hi m and protect him. And
be presses onward to the entrance of
tba'wood.'.
"&s& not two sparrows,"., he hears,
"sold for a farthing ? , and one shall not
fall to the ground without our Father's
notice. Bat the hairs of your bead are
umbered. Fear not, therefore, ye ara
more valiw than many sparrows.'.
. Tbe nan ia there before hint. He has
yaabed himself into the thicket, and cut
a bavy stake ; he suffers the boy to go
a before, and thea he eonies . oat, falls
ieto tbe path and follow hi mv It i too
light at present for his deed of darkness
and too near the entrance of tbe wood.
but be knows that shortly tbe path will
blanch oil . into two, and the right one
and
and the right
boy to take will be dark
for the
lonely.
Bat what prompts the little midship
pan, when not fifty rods from tbe branch
ing of the path, to break into a sudden
run 1 It is not tear he never dreams of
danger. - Some sudden impulse, or wild
wish for home makes him dash off sud
denly after bis saunter, with a whoop and
bound. On he goes as if running a
race; the path bends, and the man loses
sight of him. .''But I shall have him
yet," he thinks; he cannot keep up that
pace long. The boy has nearly reached
tbe place where the path divides, when
be starts up a white owl, that can scarce
ly fly as he goes whirling along close to
tbe ground before bim. He gains upon
it; , another moment and it will be his.
Now he gets the start again ; " they come
to the branching of the paths, and the
bird goes down the wrong one. The
temptation to follow it is too strong to
be resisted ; he knows that somewhere
deep in the wood, there is a cross track
by which he can gel into the track he
has left; it is only to run a little faster,
and he shall be home nearly as soon.
' Ou he rushes; the path takes a bend,
and he is just out of sight when his pur
suer comes where tho path divides. The
boy has tamed to the fight the man
Likes the leit, and the faster they both
run the further they are assunder.
The white owl-still lead him on ; the
path gets darker and narrower; at lust
he finds that he has missed it altogether,
and his feet-are on soil ground, lie
flounders about among the r trees and
stumps, vexed with himself, and pautTug
after his . race. At last he hits upou
auother track and pushes on as fast as he
can. The ground begins sensibly to
descend ; he has lost his way but be
keeps bearing to the left; and though it
is now dark, he thinks he must reach
the main path sooner or later.
- tie docs not , know . this part of the
wood, but runs on. . Oh, little midship
man I tvhy did you chase that owl ? If
you had kept the path with the dark man
behind you, there was a chance that you
might outrun him, or, if he had overtak
en you, some passing wayfarer niiiiht
have heard your cries, and come to save
you. .Now you are running straight on
to your death, for the forest water U
deep and black at the bottom of this
hill. Oh that the tuoou might come out
and show it to you !
The moon is under a thick canopy of
heavy black clouds, and there is not a
star to glitter on the water and make it
visible. The fern is soft under his feet
as he runs and slips down the sloping
li HI. At last he strikes against a stone,
stumbles and falls. Two u, "mutes more
and he will fall iuto the black water.
'Heydey I" cried the boy, "what is
this ? Oh ! how it rears uiy hands ! Oh !
this thorn-bush ? Oh! my arm ! I can't
get free '." He struggles and pants. "All
this conrc3 of leaving the path," he says;
"I shouldn't have cared for the rolling
down if it hadn't been for this brush.
The fern was soft enough. I'll never
stray away in a wood at night again.
There, free at last ! And my jacket near
ly torn off uiy back !"-'
With a good deal of patience, and a
great many scratches, he gets free of
the thorn which has arrested his pro
gress when his feet were within a yard
of the water, manages, to scramble to the
bank , and makes the best of his way
through the wood. ,
And now, as ths clouds move slowlyon
ward, the moon shows her face on the
black surface of the water and the little
white owl comes and hoots, and flutters
over it like a wandering snow-drift. But
the boy is in the wood again, and know
nothing of the danger Iroui which be has
escaped. All this time the dark passen
ger follows the main, track, and believes
that the boy fs before him. At last he
hears a crashing oft dead boughs, and
presently tho little midshipman's voice
fifty yards before him. Yes, it will pass
the cottage in the . wood directly, and af
ter that bis pursuer will come upon him.
Tho boy bounds into the path ; but as
he sees the cottage, he is thirsty, and so
hot, that he thinks he must ask the in
habitants ii they can sell him a glass of
ale.- . -.- " r .- -,-
He enters without ceretnony. "Ale?"
says the woodman, who is sitting at bis
sapper; ."No, we have no ale ; but per
haps mv wife can give- thee a . drink of
milk.' - Come in." So he comes in and
shuts the door, and while he sits waiting
for the milk, footsteps pass. - '
They are the footsteps of the pursuer,
who goes on with the stake in his hand,
angry and impatient that 'he has not yet
come up with him.! ' ' - ' .;-:
- The woman goes to; th dairy for the
milk, and tbe boy thinks she has gone a
long time. He driuks it, thanks her,
and takes his leave..; 'Zt, ,.J, . ?
Faster and faster the man runs after
him.
It is very dark; but there is a yellow
streak in the sky, Where the moon is
plowing np a furrowed mass ; of gray
clouds, and one or two stars are blinking
through the branches of the trees.
" Fast the boy follows and fast the man
runs on, with his weapon "in 'his' hand.
Suddenly he hears the joyous ' whoop
not before but behind " him; IIe ' stops
and iistens noiselessly. Yes, it is so lie
pushes himself-' into the' thicket, 'and
raises his stake, when the boy shall pass.
' On ' be ' cou.es, running lightly, with
nis uauus id pocaets: ji, eouna serines
at the same instant the ears of both; and
the boy turns back from " The: very' jaws
of death to listen. If is the" sound ' of
wheels and it draws rapidly nearer.-!" A
man comes up, driving a gig. Hifloa
he says, in a loud, cheerful voice. ."W hat,
benighted youngster f" jrjf ; V
"Oh, is it you, Mr. ?" says $he
boy ; -'oo; I am not benighted; or, at
anyrate, J know , my rway. out of the
Woods." -h,- f-:i- sWv-i--J-Au.
The man drew farther back among the
shrubs. Why, bless the boy be hears
the farmer say.: stiTo think of our meet
in this way ! The parson told me that he
was in hopes of seeing thee ' some day
this week, I'll give thee a lift. ' Thkis
a lone place to be in this time o' night,
i "Lone " says the boy, laughing. "I
don't mind that; and if you know the
way, it'i as safe as a Vuarter-deck." '
So b gate into the fartaar' gig, and
thoughtless
is once more out of the reach of the pur
suer, i But the man knew that the farm
era's house is a quarter of a mile nearer
than the parsonage, and in that quarter
of a mile there is still a chance of com
mitting jobbery. Ho determined still to
make the attempt, and cuts across tho
wood with such rapid strides that" he
reached the farmer's gate just as thegw
drives up to it.
"Well, thank you, farmer," sass-Hhe
midshipman, as ho prepares to get down.
"I wish you good nighly. gentlemen,"
says the man, when he passes. ' ,
"Good night, friend," the farmer re
plies, "I say, my boy, it's a dark night
enough ; but I have - a mfnd to - drive
you on to the parsonage j and bear the
rest of this long talc of yours about the
sea-serpent." ?
The little wheels go on again. They
pass the man ; aud he stands still iu the
road to listen till the sound dies away.
Then he flings his stake into the hedge,
and goes back again. His evil purposes
have been frustrated the
boy has baffled him at every step
And now tbe little midshipman is at
home; the. joyful meeting has taken
place ; and when they have all admired
his growth; and decided whom he is like,
and-measured his bight on the window
frame, see him eat his, supper, they be
gin to question-him about his adventures,
more; for tho pleasure of hearing him talk
than any curiosity.
"Adventures 1" says the boy, seated
between father and mother on the sola.
"Why, uia, I did write you an accouut of
the voyage, and there s nothing, else to
tell, i Nothing happened to-day or at
least nothing particular."
"'"You came by the coach we told you
of ?" asked the father. .
"O, yes, papa, and when we got about
twenty miles, there came up a beggar,
while we were changing horses, and I
threw down (uf 1 thought) a shilling;
but as it fell, I saw it was a sovereign.
She was very honest andsbowed uio what
it was, but I didn't take it back, for you
know, mamma, it is a loug time siuce. I
gave anything to anybody." .
'"Very true, my boy," his mother an
swers ; "but you should hot be care'e.s
with your money, and few i beggars are
worthy objects of chanty."
"I suppose you got down at the cross
roads V said his elder brother.
'Yes, and went through the woods. I
should have been here sooner, if I hadn't'
lost my way here."
"Lost your way !" said his' mother,
alarmed; my dear boy; you should not
have left the path at dusk."
"Oh, ma," said the little midshipman,
with a smiie, "you're always thinking we
are in danger. If you could see me some
times sitting at the jibbooiu end, or across
the main top-mast cross-tree, 'you would
be frightened. But what danger can
there be ia a wood V
"Well, my., boy," she answers. "I
don't wish to be over anxious, and make
my children uncomfortable by.iuy fears.
What did you stray from the path for?"
"Only to catch a litie owl, mamma;
but I didn't catch her after all. I got a
roll fdown a bank, a -id caught my
jacket against a thornbush, which was
rather uuiucky. Ah I three-large holes
I see' in my sleeve, and so I scrambled
up again, and ;ot into the right path.
and asked at the cottage for some beer."
What a long time the woman kept me,
to be' sure. I thought it -would never
come. I'lit very soon after. Mr. D
drove up in his gig, and he brought me
on to the gate." j
, "And so this account of (your adven
tures being brought to a close," his fath
er says, "we discover there are ns adven
tures to tell."
"No, papa, nothing happened noth
ing particular, I mean." j
Nothing particular. If they could have
known, they would have thought lightly
in comparison of the dangers of the jib
boom's and the main-top-aiast-cross-trees.
But ' they do not know, any more than
we do, of the dangers that , hourly besot
us. Some few dangers we are aware of
and we do what we can to provide against
them; but for the greater , portion our
cyes behold that we cannot see. ; We
walk securely under His guidance, with
out whom '-not a sparrow fallcth to the
ground ;" and when we have had escapes
that the angels have admired at, wc come
home and say, perhaps, nothing has hap
pened at least nothing particular. .
It is not well that our minds should be
much exercised over these hidden dan
gersj since they are so, and so great
that no human art or foresight can - pre
vent; them.- - Bat it i. very well that we
should reflect constantly on that loving
- -- . - -. - - - y ...r . ,
of a track always balancing between ! "reme
time, and eternity; and that such reflec
tions should make us both happy .and
afraid afraid and trusting our souls too
much to an earthly guide or. tart lily se
curity -happy from the knowledge that
thee is Ouo with whom ; we may -trust
theni wholly, and with whom the ; very
baits of Our heads 5 are all numbered.
Without such trust, how can we rest or
be at peace ? but with it wenuy -say with
the iPsalmist, "I will both' lay me down
in peace, and sleep, for thou, Lord, only
makest me dwell in safety."
- TitCE Cocrage. He surely 'was - a
stroug-miuded as well a3 healthy nerved
man-who dodged the barbarous tortures
of .the Indians by a ruse tie , guerre par
ticularly novel and terrific, to wit ; Dur
ing fbo war on the North western fron
frontiers, a Kentuckian aud some frieuds
werei taken prisoners by the Indians and
Canadian French, and one after' auother
of the prisoners wcre dispatched in ' the
most Cruel manner, by maiming, burning,
and baetinado. -. The Kentn.kian, seeing
how affairs were -going ? begged ; a word
with! one of tho chief's, and bein able to
make himself understood, stated that if
they spared -.bim-, he would teach them a
secret by which neither bullets, swords,
or knives 'could- inflict: wounds upon
them. . The Indians paused and after a
consultation they agreed ; to test - the
secret, and if it proved a Teal thing,
they would give the prisoner his free
dom. The Kentuckian, j accompanied
by several Indians, went into the forest
and pluoked some green herbs, which he
bruised and rubbed over his neck.
-"Now,", said he, "strike f . Let the
strongest man take tho ' heaviest toma
hawk and strike a blow, upon - my, neck
and pee ii it effects a wound 1"
Placing his bare. neck upon a fallen
tree, the Kentuekian prepared for the
blow, and down it came with all the
force of the hlDy arm of the Indian.

A FEW REASONS WI1Y
THE
A R10 N PIA NO
13
SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS.
THE AEION PIANO-FORTE has Greater
Power than any other other Piano-Forte manu
factured. IT WILL STAND IN TUNE LONGER
and in Its mechanical construction it is more per
fect, and therefore, more durable than any inslru
n4it constructed in the uunl modern style.
The araneeinent of the Agraffe, the manner of
stringing. tbe peculiar form and arrangement of
the Iron Frame,
Supersedes all Others.
The nso of a bart, (which is s part of the Iron
Frame) on a line with the heavy steel ttriogiDg,
gives i
Great Strength
.
Where most needed, and in this respcet all other
Pianos fail. '
The construction of the WREST PLANK, Into
which the Tuning Pins are inserted, is such that it
is impossible for the pins to become loosened, or
the Wre.-t Plank itself to split, at is too often the
ease in other 1'iano-Fortes,
TIIE EXTRAORDINARY EVEN
: NESS, ......
Throughout the entire scale, the excellent Singing
Quality, the
Length and Purity on Vibration, .
All go to prove what we claim, viz. : that tho
Arion Piano-Forte
Is tho 'Best Instrument Manufactured.

Read The Following::
-
It affords rae much pkaure to give yon, in these
few lines, a verysincere testimonial for tbe Tiauo
Fortes of your manufacture. We bare now used
the "J'ateut Ariou Pianos" in our Conservatories
fora year, and have had a fair opportunity of tef t
ing their durabifity durrhg that time. Tbe Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly, from
morning till night, and a Piano must indeed be a
good one when it will bear such constant use with
out shewing- signs of defection. As for renmiNttttf
in tunc, it out rivals any Piano known to me.
Tbehr peculiar swcctBess of tone iu the treble ,
(as compared to other Pianos wfth the ordinary
metal agraffe arrangement ) is so striking that I
have bad pupils remark, while taking theirlcssons,
that although they had at home what tbey sup
posed to be one of tbe best makes of Pianos, still
the treble was very wircy toned compared with the
"AtllON."
What makes them still' more desirable is their
uniform volume of tone, wbit-h enables an Attist to
perform a composition in i s true character.
In total. I can conscientiously endorse all that is
claimed by the Arion Piano - Forte Company for
their superb instruments, as I consider tbctu su
perior to any other make.
Congratulating you upon tbe great success you
lave obtained in tbe manufacture of so perfect an
instrument, I remain yours, ' , .it .
- i v Very truly.
