KISS ME AN3 fu'co TO SLEEEP.
That is a sad song to my ears. I
cannot bear to heir it. It awakens a
sad memory, whitth I will relate.
I had a brother, a h iti.lso no, 1 vr able,
merry boy, the pet and pride of the
family, and a favorite in the community.
Natuie had endowed him richly and
culture had developed his admirable
H lulities. 11 is voice was soft an 1 musi
cal in accompaniments to the -iiitar,
up 01 which they had learned to play.
When he was t.ve!.'o years old :t
w is his birthday I, his eldest brother,
left business and city tu enjoy that thy
with bin). It was a day of unalloyed
pleasure. I here were our lather and
mother, both grown gtay, tiv.i sisters
and another brother, the fourth one
being at his adopted home in 11 distant
state, but even from hi.n I carried birth
day presents entt ustcd : my c ire, and
a telegram lejeieed that in irnin;j con
veying cotioLiiuiattonj ana well Wldies
to little Will, the ftvuriti! brother.
0 tho afternoon the family were
al-T.e, each met.-iher vicing wit'l the
tithes in makii'g the time merry, and
little Will, wearing his handsome) new
soil I bad presented, and tho v,'..tch and
chain sent by our absent bi other, was
ovel 11 e.vi og with happiness, though
soni.'tliimes we would bring a deeper
blush to his rosy cheeks by teasing linn
about bis i.eivly luiiuned evidence; of
to ,t i.o; to be a in. in. The alteration
jis I "'era 1! 'i'.ht.ful pu'ty of vi-dtiug
l'i iends and libJit a id a priycr from
lather nt. the l':.v'olo around which e
were gal!lecd, closed the pleasure's of
the day.
1 w is talking to f iiber nod mother in
the sitting room, when ii!Ie Will, open
ing the iloor, drew nut bis watch ai.d
announced that it, was but half an hour
before my tiain time. Wo j iked him
with the charge that he only ciot i into
parade bis witch, an I th it wo d "ibted
the correctness of its time, which he

s.'odum as rcieg a Maimer on a poi

"Wei1, b-l'ore I go," siid, I, ".;et

He Complied, and after singing a
leimorous b ill 1 !, s ino, un l it w is the
first iliini I ha I e.cr beard the song,
"Kiss me as I I'll go to sleep."
He sang it very s.veetly, till, more
sweetly to my ears now us I remember
il, than I have ever heard it sune
since.
A week from this day I reecived a
utile from mother s ivi-ig th it little Will
was i l. He bill while liding into the
couutiy 011 business lor lather been

The doctor told me hi! had p' en

when I approached his bud die, a sitlle
of grati'io.l expect iliiin wreathed his
face, an I ho w.ml I hive luije l himself
to greet me, but i leaned over the bed
side tti catch his whispered welcome.
"Did he suPor?"
"Yes, but would si on ha better."
"11 ! docs' l complain, mother said,
"you know ho never complains at any
thing." Iio pwi.ilc ! niu to untie: ucalli ins

"'This ii bis watch," mother ex
plained, ' lie wanted it near him."
T.to weeks p.uscd by, ami iho little

I had concluded, be bowed his thanks.
A moment later, when ull the family
all except our absent brother were by
the bedside, he turned toward mother
and lifting his little wasted ur.iis until
they encircled her neck, whishpered to

LIE SEVER.
Not long ago, on an Iviglish steamer,
four d.ijs out from Itverpool, a small
boy whs found bid away behind the
cargo. Ho had neither father nor
mother, brother nor sister, friend nor
protector among either passengers or
crew. Who wis ho? Where did be
come from where going? (Jaly nine
years old this poor littlo sli.inger, with
ragged garments bat n beautiful face,
full of imii cenee and truth I Of course
be was carried before the first
mate.
"I ( iw came yoo
board ibis .hip':'
to steal a passage on
asked tho mate,
shai plv. ' -
' My stcpfither put ate in," answered
the bey. "He suid be could mil afford
to pay my passage to Halifax, where
my aunt lives. I want to go to my
aunt."
Tho male did not believe the story,
lie had often bioti deceived by stowa
wa)S. Almost every snip finds, when
"lie or two da)s out at sea, men or boys
concealed among the cargo, who try to
get a passage across tho water without
pijing for it ; and this is often trouble-
s ome mm expensive. Iho mate sns
peeled soi.ieol the sailors bad a hand in
the boy's escape, and treated him pretty
roughly. Hay after day he was (pies
tinned about bis coming, ami it was al
ways the snmo story nothing less,
nothing more. At last tin mate got
out ol patience, as mates will, nnd, seiz
ing him by the c- liar, Odd him that 1111
I . I. .. , r i . , . i
less tie C'.iiiiesscil llie tru'.n in ten min
utes, h would bang him on the yard
arm a frightful threat indeed.
l'oor child, with not a friend to stand
by him I Around hi hi wei o passengers
and sailors of the mtd-dny watch, and be
fore him tl'.e first olfi-er, with bis watch
in band, ciint'mg the lick, tick, tick of
the minute? as they swiftly went. There
he slued, pale and sorrowful, his head
erect ami tears in bis eves; but afraid?
nn, not a bit !
Hi ;lit minu'rs were already gone.
"Only two minutes 11101c to live,'
Cficd the mate. "Speak tho truth
and save yo-or life, boy."
"Miv I pray?" a.l.ed Iho child,
looking iii) into the Inr.! miei's face
The ell't-.-er nodded bis bead, but slid
not!. inc. The bravo boy knelt down on
dock, and, with bands cl isped and eves
iuise.lt ) heaven, repeated the L ud's
i prayer, and (hen prayed tl'.e dear f,nrd
Jesus to take Iiini home to heaven, il
I could tlio. but lie never 1 Ail eves
were turned Inward bun, ami sobs broke
from stem hearts.
The mate e mid hold out no longer
tie sera' g to the u v. and told him lie
believe I his story every word of it. A
nobler s:ght iieer to ik pliee on 11 ship's
deck than this a poor, friendless child
willing to fiicti death for Iru'h's Stkel
llocouM dit-: but lie never I (iod
bless him 1 Ami the rest of tlio voyage,
you may well think he hail friends
enough. Nob i.ly owned bim befoie;
everybody w is now ready to da bun
kindness. A id we hope everyhody who
reads this will be strein;ltietiod to do
ri 'bt, come ivh.it wd', by the noble con
duct of tin ; ib-ar chill.
