of his own as aal he! blowed up a man-
oawar aanost. Would yes- like to tear
about it ?"
I eageely assent ; and the narrator,
knocking the a:41es out of his pipe, folds
his brawny arms upon the top of the
rail, and commences as follows :
"'Bout three years ago, afotatI got
this berth as I'm in now, I was second -
engineer aboard a Liverpool steamer
bomol. for New York. There'd been a
lot of extra cargo sent down just at the
last minute, and we'd had no end of a
job stowin' it away, and that ran us
late o' startin' ; so that, altogether, as
you may think, the Cap'n warn't alto-
gether in the sweetest temper io the,
world, nor the mate neither ; as for the
chief -engineer, he was an easy-goin'
sort o' chap, as nothirn on earth could
put out. But on the mornin' of the
third day- out from Liverpool, he 011111
down to me in a precious hurry, lookin'
as if some/hist' had put him out pretty
considerably.
" Tom,' says what trye think ?
Blest if we ain't found a stowaway.'
(That's the name, you know, sir, as we
gives to chaps as hides theirselves
aboard outward -bound vessels, and gots
carried out unbeknown to everybody.)
" The dickens you have!" says I.
Who is he, and where did yer find
him ?'
oetet'WelLaewe-found him stowed away -
among the casks for'ard ; and ten to one
we'd never ha' twigged him at all, if the
skipper's dog hadn't sniffed him out
and begun barkina Sitch a little mite
as he is tea! I could a'most put him
in my baccy-pouch, poor little beggar
bat he looks to be a good plucked for all
that,"
"I didn't wait to heel: no more, but
up on deck like a sky -rocket; and there
did see a sight, and no mistake. Every
man -Jack o' the crew, and what few
passengers we had aboard, was all in a
ring on the fo'c'stle, and in the middle
stood the fust mate, lookin' black as
thunder. Right in front of him, look -
in' a relax mite *me sg all them big
fellare, Was a little bit 6' lad not ten
year old—ragged as a scarecrow, but
with bright curly hair, and a bonnie
little face o' his even, if it hadn't been
so woful thin and pale. But, bless
yone soul to see the way that little
chap held his head up, and looked about
him, you'd ha' thought the whole ship
belonged to him. The mate was a
grdat, hulkin' black -bearded feller, with
a look that lid ha' frightened a horse,
ands a voice fit to make one jump
through' a key -hole; but the young un
warn't a bit afeard—he stood straight
up, and looked him full in the face with
them bright clear eyes o' hisn, for all
the world as if he was Prince Halfred
himself. Folks did say arterwards'
(lowering his voice to a whieper)
how he comed o' better blood nor what
he ought; and, for my part, I'm ray-
ther o' that way o' thinkin' myself; for
never yet seed a common street-HP.1mb
(as they calls 'em now) carry it.off like
him. You might ha' heard a pin drop,
as the mate spoke.
" Well, you young whelp,' says he
in his grimmest voice, ',what's brought
you here ?"
"It was my step -father as done it,'
says the boy in a weak little voice, but
as steady as could be, 'Father's dead,
and mother's married again, and my
new fathee saye as how he won't have
no brat about oatin' up his wages; and
he stowed 111 0 away when nobody warn't
lookin', and guy me some grub to keep
megain' for it day or two till I got to
sea. He says I'm to go to Aunt Jane
at Halifax ; uta herels he :address.'
"And with that he slips his hand in-
to the brearst offhie shirt, and out with
eerap o' atafel dirty end crone
-
pled up, but with the address orioit,
right °bough.
"We all believed every word on't,
even without the paper; for his look,
and hie voiee, and the way he epolre,
was enough to eho w that there warn't
ha'porth 0' lyite in his whole skin.
Pitt the mate didn't fieera to swell& the
yarn at NI; he only shrugged his shout
-
dote with a kind o' grin, as mitela to
say: 'I'n toe (ild tt bird to be cauglit
with that kind o' ehaff ;' and then he
saye to him Look here, ray lad ;
that's all voty fine, but it won't do
here—sothe th6S0 men 0' mine are ita

Non's REAL NAMD.—The Chinese de-
clare tha,t Noah's real name was Ah
Boo, and that he resided in Pekin.
Unfortunately, Noah's family Bible was
lost in the flood, and we cannot ascer-
tain from it exactly what his name was.
His door -plate also seems to be miss-
ing and he had a very careless way of
neglecting to mark his shirts; so we
are baffled in that tiirettion. We have
inquired at the libraries for a Pekin
directory of that date, to see if Noah
really figured in its pages; the only
copy any of them harwas out. For
our part, we do not /believe that his
name was Ali Boo, or, that he resided
hi Pekin, These Chinamen really
claim everything [hat is going, from gun:
powder up to newspapers. If we give
them any ground, to ge, on they will be

The fact is, that as life becomes con-

short sleep and early rising become im-

Two Executions. •
The elder Tryon, who was convicted
at the last assizes for North Simcoe, of
having murderedthe man Fisher, near
Parry Sound, was executed at Barrie on
Tuesday morning. The son, who was
Convicted at the ,same time, has had
his sentence commuted to iniprisonment
M the penitentiary foi•life. In his eon-
fession the father declared that the son
had no act nor part in the killing of
Fisher. Consequently his sentencewes
commuted.
Peter Mailmanwas hanged at Luen-

A gentleman travelling in Texas, met
on the road a waggon drawn by four
oxen, driven by a countryman, who in
addition to th 6 flourish and crack
of whip was vociferously encouraging
his horned horses after this fashion—
'Haw, Presbyterian 1' 'Gee, Baptist !'
'Episcopalian 1"Get up, Methodist 1'
The traveller stopped the driver, remark-

for his oxen, and he would like to know
why he thus called them. Said the
driver—q call this ox Presbyterian,
because he is, true blue and never fails,

To -night, at half past eight, George
Farren succeedect in accomplishing the
most wonderful feat of walking 100
miles in 22 hours, The last mile was
made with almost the same promptness
as the first. Exchaoged Hall was pack -

ton andeNew York. As Farrell. strode
up the home -stretch with a leadway of
ton seconds a shout went up from the
o cited multitude, which was responded
to by at least 3,000 people standing on
sidewalks of Chapel street. Mr. Farren's
effort against time is the greatest tri-
umph in pedestrianism ever recorded,
winning the wiseer of $4,000.
In walking thbe 100 miles Farrell had
to make the circut of Exchange Hall 3,-
100 times. A committee of three per-
sons kept the tally and a-lino:ince(' each
mile, witlithe time macle or lost. All
last nig,ht and all day an eager crowd
was in attendance. There had been
little doubt that Farren would succeed.
anclhe received words of encouragement
all along though the weary hours. Far-

pounds, is muscular and wiry said is not
far from 25 years of age. •

to the shore, but, before they reached
it, the crack, at first discovery only six
or eight inches wide, had inereased so
much that it was impossible to jump
across it.
When it WaS OVICT011t that there was
no means of getting across the crack
otherwise, McEwan and Smith set
about chopping out a cake of ice large
enough to hold. them, which they pro-
posed to poll across the open water with
their spear poles. Before they hall half
cut out the cake, however, they saw
that they were drifting into deeper
water, and a trial proved that they were
already beyond. reach of bottom with
their spear poles. During Wednesday
night and ;Thursday the wind blew
steadily from the south-west. The
second day they were drifting towasd
the Charity Islands, as nearly as they
could judge. Neither of the men had
oaten anything since coming, on the ice
on Wednesday. They had with them
the- three raw fish which they had
caught before the ice broke away, but
they had no craving for food. The
third day, while moving toward the
north shore across the drifting cakes of
ico, MeEwaxas hand -sleigh, which he
was using to cross from one cake to an-
other, went down between two cakes.
and he was instantly in the water.
Smitla however, was securely on a cake
and reached his space -pole to his com-
rade and helped him out, pretty thor-
oughly wet. The drift was still east-
ward. On the fourth day they had
drifted so far iu that direction that they
came in. sight of Fish Point. Except
that of Wednesday the nights had not
been atealetanneliteneattit Saturday -night' Wail'
noin'‘incomfortably so. Sunday, the
fifth day, was the worst they had ex--
perienced. The storm was not of long
continatanceaturitetaa-violenta-and the
warm rain cut holes in the ice all about
the•castaways as large as a man's head.
The cake upon which they were had
weakened until it was only about three
inches in thickness. The sixth day
they started for the east shore of the
bey, having been drifted so far in that
direetirn that they thought they could
soonest reach the shore there. After
going ihout three miles they came
across a small ducking boat fast in the
ice. This they did not try to move,
but travelled on till twelve at night,
when. they found that the wind had.
patted the b,caly of ice, and further pro-
gress in that direction was barred. On
Sundey they saw in the direction of the
Saginaw lig,ht-house the smoke of a
steam vessel, and thought then that
their friends were at last apprised of'
their situation and were maid:1g an ef-
fort to save them. This was the smoke
of the tug Macdonald, which Went out
some miles beyorid the light -house and
returned when the storm came on, hav-
ing discovered nothing. The tug's
smoke was peculiaa, and they recognis-
ed it at once as the int sign that they
had received that anything of their fate
was known at home. On the seventh
day they found that the old ice had not
only been materiallt- strengthened ,and
frozen together, but that a sheet. of new
ice had. been formed stretching off to
the west shore. Here was deliverance,
and none too, soon. About seven
o'clock Tuesday =ruing they were
again on the raove, and got to the little
boat before mentioneld. There they left
everything but their sleigh and saear
pales. With these they struck for the
ice bridge for deliverance betweennthelo
and the ethore, which had formed ante-
ing the night. It was six miles to dry,
land, and the new ice was on'ly about
three-quarters of an -inch itCthickness
