A YOCAG HERO.
In June 1660 the brig Polly Deems,
Captain Job Payson, sailed from Boston
for a port of Turkey, laden with cotton
goods. Sho was a new, taut little vessel.
with plenty of storage room, and had ac
comniodatlons for two passengers.
The crew consisted of the captain, one
mate, four sailors, a ulacK cook ana a
cabin boy.
Captain Payson was a conscientious,
jat man, who treated his crew neither to
jokes nor grog, but who lodged and fed
them better than did five out of six of the
masters sailing from New England ports
thoso days.
"Old Job.'Hhe, mate, who was from
the "West, used to say "he was a hard
man, but one yon could" ue to in fair
v eathcr or in foul."
His crew were picked men, and with
the exception of Dan, the cahin boy, had
been with him for years. This was Dan's
first voyage, and he felt that captain and
crew both eyed him with suspicion. He
was on probation, and he felt that not a
grain of favor would be allowed him in
anv error.
Dan was afarm boy, and knew nothing

Dan. in theTiurrr and excitement of I
getting under way, and of his new duties
repeated this advice over and over to
himself. It seemed to keep his mother
near him.
Several days out while he was carrying
the dinner 'dishes into the cabin he
heard the mate say;
"That boy Is clipper enough for a raw
hand, captain."
'Aye," said Captain Payson, turns oat
better than I expected. 1 took him for

happened to look at him ho turned quick
ly away, and he glanced suspiciously and
furtively at the boy at times during the
rest of Uie meal.
"Don't like him," thought Dan. "He
looks sneaky and tricky and not like a
gentleman."
But Dan, of course, kept his opinion
to himself.
Fortunately the lad was not sea-sick.
He learned his new duties quickly; was
alert, neat, and always good-natured. In
course of one week Captain Payson had
twice grunted approval.
Dan worked harder than ever, and be
tween times, when the passenger was on
deck, watched him.
Doctr Farnall talked fluently and bril
liantly, as even Dan's uncultured view
could perceive.
But there were days when the doctor
was absolutely silent, ate nothing and
paced the deck wrapped in profound si
lence. On one of these days, going down just
at twilight to gel something he had left
in his bunk,Dan saw a tall figure which he
did not recognize, with a candle groop
ing about among the chests of the sailors
below.
"Who's there?" he shouted.
The man came quickly toward him.
The candle threw a yellow glare over his
set face and glaring eyes. It was the pas
senger. He caught Dan by the sleive.
"Here, boy what do thev call you ?"
"Dan."
"You are surprised to see me hero,
Dan ?"witli a guilty laugh. "Took me
for a ghost?"
"I beg your pardon, sir; I oughtn't to
have called you. But it took me, aback,
air."
"Naturally; but you need not be sur
prised at seeing me in any part of the
veaseL I am studying its construction
as a scientific man. Captasn Payson has
been good enough to give me admittance
to all parts of the vessel. Yon needn't
shout that wav acain. It startles a nerv
ous man," and with a vague smile ho put
out the candle and went on dock, leaving
Dan etaring after him.
"It's not all right, or why should he,
being a gentleman, make such a long ex
planation to me, being a cabin boy," said
Dan.
That night Captain Payson was alone
on the quarter-deck, when Dan presented
liimself beforo him and sainted. His
voice shook a little for he was terribly
scared,
"Old Sob" was a. bigger man iu his
eyes than any king.
"Well, what's the matter with you?"
growled tho captain.
"The passenger."
" What have you to do with tne passen
ger r
"I beg your pardon, sir; but are you
sure ho isn't a thief, or worte" gasiwd
Dan.
The captain seized the ropo's end.
"Take tliat for your impudence," he
lihouted, aiming a blow at Dan, who
dodged it, and then blurted out the en
tire story.
"Searching among the bunks? Doctor
Farnell'' muttered the captain inaston
isfament, dropping his weapon. Then ho
walked thoughtfully up aud down. Sud
donly ho stiijKHl beforo Dan.
"It is won you cauio to uie aim tiououy
elso." ho Raid. "It's of no arcount. Doc
tor l-aniell is an eecontnc man. 11 ho
wishes to examine the uip in auy part lie
is not to Ikj watched or spied upon. So
keep your eyes open to yourself and your
tongue, too.
Dan crept off to his work feeling as if
he had had a sound drubbing. Tears of
rage and mortification stood in tlw lad's
eyes.
"'Mother's rules do vorv woll on laud,
bntthov won't do on rhiploard, he
muttere-. "Bat thoro' something that
needs v ..tolling iu the man, and I'll watch
him.'
Nothing of moment happened, how
ever, for a week. Then Dan observed
that the passenger's days of depression
and fasting grew more frequent. Thare
were whole nights when ho paced the
deck until morning.
The crew joked together about him.
One declared he was a mnrderor; an
other that he ho had ecaied from a lu
natic asylum; but the common opinion
was that he hail run away from a tertnag
uant wife.
"D'ye ye mind, said Irish Jem. how
he eyes every ahip e hail as though she
micht be aboard ?"
Dan never joined in the gossip below
decks about the mystery.
Onedavan incident occurred which
strengthened his suspicion

Just before nightfall, when tuning the
after Latchwav, in the covering of which
was a Jide tliat could be ojened and
closed at will, Dan met Dr. Farnell coin

Ho had caucht the bov's wrist, and

bered that, and became suddenly silent

Death was iustat hand. There was no-

He stared into tho fierce classy eyes
with an agony of hesitation.
Farnell lan eked back at him.
"I thoueht of burning, but this is the

"Not by tho Captain," he said.
His own voice startled him, it was m
calm, and in a tone so very djfiorcnt
from any in which he had ever siKken
before.
"The Captain and Mr. Briggs will es

"Why, what do yon mean ?" cried

"Because thev are not in the hold

Dan folt a chill run over him. He
tried hard to speak, but hi voice foiled
him. He had but one chance, and he
must trv it.
"I will co and bring the Captain and
Mr. Briggs down, if you like. Then they
can't get awav."
"Ha, lia Pretty good joke. Well, go
bring them, and be quiok 1" loosening
his hold, and pushing Dan awav.
Dan walked slowly to the ladder, then
he mado one wild spring up
"To the hold! To Uie hold! A leak!" ho
shriekoU and fell to tho deck.
Within another honr, the mad man
was in irons, the leak had been stopped.
and the water was pumped out of tho
hold. Tho danger wa past, aud all snng

Tho crew mado a hero oT Dan. Even
Captain Payson spoke out his heavy
praise.

One day recently, as one of our promi

tliat he would assist him to get some

told him to go in, and directed the wai

That Boy.
For a good many weeks I suffered from
tho want of tho right kind of an oflir r
boy. At last' I concluded to advertise
for one trustworthy Ihiv; neat, gentle
manly, prompt, nud diligent; one who
lived in Brooklyn, so as to take messages
to my honso in that city when needed.
So I advertised thus:
"Wanted, in an oflico iu Now York, a

Concerning those twenty applicants I
made as thorough inquiry as circum
stances would warrant, in several cases
going in person to their houses to see
what kind of parents they had, how they
had leen brought up, and wliat were
their snrrouudine. I saw some very
Mice boys, and 1 tomes which were a credit
to the people that managed them. 1

At last I fouad a boy who soeated to '

the lad, aad he commenced to reader

tolerably prompt. He wrote a neat hand,
aad desired to giro satiafactioa. I
Altogether he seemed to be by
far the best boy 1 bad employed. Bat '
j perfection doos'not dwell ia satall boys
at foe r dollars a week. This boy, like all
others, bad his latireaities. Trae. he did
not satoke, spit, swear, driak whiskey .or

neglect his work. Perhaps, he did his

not. I caa do no better than do it myself
than by telliBg him to do it. If he woald
oaly say to ne. "I will not do that,"
then I ahoahl know exactly what to do.

What is tho diilurenco botwecu the
engine-driver and the iwssengcr who has
lost tint train? Well, you know, ono
is right iu front, while the other is left
behind.

AThlch Is Better Beer or Wator I
A man oace said to mo, "Do you be
lieve there is more strength in a glass of
water than a mug of ale?"
"Stop a bit," I answered; "that is not
a fair comparison. You pay five cents
for your mng of ale I get my glass of
water for nothing. Besides whoa I drink
my glass of water, I am satisfied with it;
biit if you drink a glass of ale, directly
you must xond down another to keep it
company. Suppose now you get a quart
and my twelve cents for it, and I take
the same amount of money, and pay six
ccuti for steak, and two cent for broad.
and two cents for totatoes. and two cents
for annlc. anil )hia t l-Ihas of fresh
' i . ? .
water (or nothing. Inch is the better? j
I eat my dinner and am satified with it,
and go back to my work and earn more
money. You go luck to the saloon to
get more ale, to spend your money, aud
waste your time."
If the beer drinker will abstain Ir-ng
enough to get rid of the effects l his
beer, he will find himself able to do
much more work than when he unnks.
One of the greatest champions of our
day, when ho is training for a conUrat.
says there is nothing like cold watr and
dumb bells.
Tliere i no greater mistake than to
anppo-io tliat beer and stunts strengthen
a man. They only stir htm up and use
up his strength. I drove twenty-fear
miles the other da When I got with.n
a mile or so of home my horse fagged , I
gave him a sharp cut with my whip and
he went faster, but I did not say "I ve
strengthened my horse" If that's the
way to strengthen hun. why not let hi tu
live on vhip-cord ? Alcohol is a whip
to him that dnnks it. and he is a great
fool tliat whips himself.
Some vrars ago two men took an early

town twenty miles away. Having,
