That wasn't ill. He learned fastor than we did be was a better sailor and had learn. 3d more of navigation. It got so at length that Jack was called upon to oake the dook sometimes, when the mficers were busy; and he used to work out the reckoning at noon as regular as did the captain. Yet Jack was in our mess, and he was a con itant eyesore. We saw that he was reaching rapidly ahead of us in every useful particular, and yet we wouldn't )pen our eyes. We were envious of is good fortune, as we called it, and ised to seize every opportunity to ,iase him. But he never got angry n eturn. Ile sometimes would laugh t us,, and at others he would so feel ogly chide us that we would remain ilent for a while. At length the idea entered our cads that Jack should drink with us. Ve talked the matter over in the tess, when Jack was absent and we iutually pledged each other that we rould make him drink at the first op ortunity. After this determination mas taken we treated Jack more kind y, and he was happier than he had een for some time. We were on our omeward-bound passage, by the way f Brazil, and our ship stopped at Lie Janeiro, where we were to remain week or so. One pleasant morning re six youngsters received peruission a go on shore and spend the whole .By; and accordingly we rigged up in ur beat togs and were carried to the anding. Now was our chance, and we put ur heads together to see how it should e done. Jack's very first desire, as son as he got on shore, was to go up nd examine the various things of aterest in the city. le wanted to isit the churches and such like plao. R, and to please him we agreed to go rith him if he would go and take inner with us. Ile agreed to this at nec, and we thougiht we had him ire. WVe planned that after dinner ,as eatea we would have some light, weet wine brought on, and that we ould contrive to get runi enough into hat he drank to upset him ; for othinig on earth would please us more ban to get Jack drunk, and carry im on board in that condition. Then ,a fancied the captain's favoritism rould be at an end, and that he ould no longer look upon our rival Fith more preference than upon our Dlves. Dinner-time came at length. It ras a capital dinner, and we came to with sharpened appetites. But ,hen the wine was brought in, Jack ot only refused to taste it, but do lined to rcemain in our company. We ried out against him as a inan, stin y fellow, who thought himself too ood to associate with us, and accused im, at last, of trying to step over ur heads on the ship, and all the npleasant things we could think of o make the poor fellow unhappy. At rat he seemed to be inclined to leave is and return to the ship alone ; but uddenly, in a quiet tone, he said, Shipmates, listen to me a moment. lince matters have come to this pass have resolved to tell you something ?hieh I never meant to reveal. My tory is short. From my earliest hiideood I never knew what it was o have a happy home. My father ras a drunkard I Onse lhe had been good man and a good husband, but umn ruined all his manhood and made brute of him. I can remember how old and cheerless the winter used to o. We had no fire-no food-no lothes-no joy-no nothing-nothing 't misery. Oh! bow my mother rayed to God for her husband ; and I, iho could but just prattle, learned to ray too. "When I grew older I had to go out nd beg for bread. All cold and hivering I waded through the deep now, with my clothes in tatters aud ay freezing feet almost bare. And I aw other children ef may own ago lressed warm and comfortable, and I :new they were happy, for they laugh . and sang as they bounded along oward school. Those boys had sober 'athers. I knew that their fathers yore no better than minec had been nee; for my mother had told me how moble my father could be if rum were act in his way. "Time passed on and I was eight roars old, and these years had been rears of such sorrow and suff'eridig as pray God I may never again expe 'ionce. At length, one eel d morning, n the dead of winter, my father was mot at home. H-T had not been at omeo through the night. My amother ent me to the tavern to see If I could ind him, I had gone half the way when I saw something in the snow ly be side of the road. I stopped, aind ish udder ran through me, for it look 4 like a human form. I wenti up-to I, and turned the head ever and )rshed the soow from the face.. It was my father, and he, was .stiff: and sold!i I laid my hand upon hi. pale crow, and it was like solid untble. Fie was dead)ie "I went to the tavern anid told the people there what I had foind, and the landlord sent two of his men to 3arry the frosen body of- my fath'eV borne. Oh, shipnbtesLean' - noteh groaned. She sank down upon hei knees and clasped that icy coipse t( her heart, as though she would have given it life from -the warmth of het own breast. She loved her hushand through all his errors, and her love was all-powerful now. The two man went away and left the dead body still on the floor. My mother whis. pored to me to come and kneel by her side. t did so. 'My child,' she said to me, and the big tears wore yet rolling down her cheeks, 'you know what has caused all this. This man was once as noble and happy and true as man can be, but oh I see how he has been stricken down. Promise me, my child, oh! promise, here, before God and your dead father, and your broken-hearted mother, that you will never, never, never touch a single drop of the fatal poison that has wrought for us all this misery I' "Shipmates, I did promise all my nother asked, and God knows that to this moment that promise has never been broken. My father was buried, and some good kind neighbors helped us through tha winter. When the next spring come 1 could work, and earned something for my mother. At length I found a chance to ship; and every time I got home I have some money for my mother. Not for the wealth of the whole world would I break the pledge I gave my mother and my God on that daik, cold morn ing. That is all, shipmates. Let me go now, and you may enjoy yourselves alone, for I do not believe that you will again urge me to drink." As Jack thus spoke he turned to ward the door, but one of us stopped him. "Hold on Jack," said he, wiping his eyes. "You shan't go alone.I have got a mother, and I love her as well as you love yours, and your moth. er shall not be happier than mine ; for I swear that she shall never have a drunken son. I'll drink no more I" "Give me your hand, old fellow P' exclaimed the rest of us in chorus, starting from our seats ; and before many minutes we all agreed to imi tate Jack's noble resolution. We called for pen, ink, and paper, and made Jack draw up a pledge. He signed it first and we followed him, and when the deed was done I know we were far happier than we had been before fqr years. The wine upon the table was not touched, and the liquor we had drank during the forenoon was now all gone in its effect. Toward evening we returned to the ship. There was a frown upon the captain's brow as we came over the side, for he had never known us to come off from a day's liberty sober. Bat when we all come over the side and reported ourselves to him his countenaneo lighted up. le could hardly give credit to the evidence of his own senses. "'Boys," said hd, "what does this mean 1" "Show him the paper," whispered Jack had our pledge, and without speaking he banded it to the captain. No took it and read it, and his face changed it expression several times. At length I 3aw a tear start In his eye. "Boys," he said, as he folded up the paper, ot me keep this, and if you stick to your noble resolution you shall never want a friend while [ live." We let the captain keep the paper, and when he had put it in his pocket he came and took us each in turn by the hand, lHe was much affected, and I know that the cirreamstance made him happy. From that day our prospects brig htened. Jack Small no more had our envy; for he took hold and taught us in navigation, and we wore proud of him. On the next voy age we all six rated as able seamen, and received full wages, and we left not that noble-hearted captain until we left to become officers on board other ships. Jack Small is now one of the best masters in the world, and I believe that the rest of our party are still living, honored and respected men. Three years ago we al1 net, the whole sizx of us, at dinner again, and not one of us had brokcen that fledg~e which we made in the hotel at Rio. We had all stuelk to the sea, and wlto then pommanders of good ships. That is my story ; and' now you kmiow why I can't drink wIth you, and, as I said at first,.will not. take my refusal as a mark of disrespeeotor Want of good-fellowship. STItt.

Benator Sawyer's Views on the Subject. The Congressional Globe brings us the full ver6atim report of the hot debate in the United Stetos Senate, on Tuesday last, on the oubjoot of universal amnesty. We take the fol lowing passages from the able spoeoh delivered on that occasion by Senator Sawyer: HlE INN 'T AFRAID. After alluding to Senator. Morton's denunciation of those wio favored amnesty as unsound Republicans, Senator Sawyer said : For one, I recognize no man's right to read me out of the Republican par. ty until he shows that I stand on ground which is not Republioan. More denunciation, more assertion that I am acting in the Interest of rebels or rebellion, has no effect upon me. I feel no particular anxietj to avoid pleasing the rebels-if I-do right and act as a Republivaq. I think it might be more wise and statesman. like if some senators shonld remem ber that their chief mission is not to make the rebels hate them. But %here are some senators here who seem to conceive that consistenoy requires them so to act that the rebels shall entertain toward them now precisely the same opinion that they entertain ed when the war was flagrant. Sir, that is not. my positions. When the war was flagrant I hated rebellion ; when the war was flagrant, to the ex tent. of my power I resisted rebellion; but let me say, Mr. President, when the war was flagrant I did not hate rebels, and I do not hate, rebels nor anybody else now. It isnot the mis sion of the Republican ptirty to hate the men who created and*who carried on the rebellion. It was the mission of the Republican party. to suppress the rebellion ; and it has been and is yet the mission of the Republican party to reorganize this lgovernment on a more solid and enduring basis than thot upon which it has ever stood before. SOUTHERN UNANINITY. But, air, let me tell he senator from Indiana that the f.o' tdation upon which he would reorgs. .i: this gov ernment, the foundation upon which be would reconstruct tho States lately in rebellion, is a foundation as-unsta ble as water. The rebellion took into it vortex the whole Southern popula tion, with exceptions absolutely in significant in number. All classes were bound up in sympathy with it. Every man, woman and child, with, as I said, insignificant exceptions, had but one aspiration so far as the politi cal situation was concerned ; and that was that the Southern Confoeeracy and the onuse of the rebellion might triumph. Here and there a man of generally very. slight politicalor social significance among his follows was, or professed to be, a loyal man ; hit the number was so small that to carry on the government in those States by their aid, and by their aid alone, is a proposition perfectly ab. surd to any man who knows the peo ple. WHAT OUGHT TO DE DdNE. I can understand, too, that those who would govern these States as sub.. ject provinces, who would continue to keep over them the strong arm of power, who would destroy the vital principle of the American Republic, which is local self- overnment, ad miinistration of local-interests by lpcal agents-I say I can understand how those who would upset all this princi ple and theury of. government, who would destroy this chief element of strength in the American systemi, shudavocate the. continuanoe of theit system which should hold the igrip upon the throats of the great taajority of the white population. That is the only theory on which I can understand it: but if our purpose I i. t forget the war, if our purpose is to. establish in the breasts cof the 8enthorn people a love for the institu tions of the Uniltod States, if our pur pose is to strengthen the governmente in those States, and to have a real Uinion, iwe., meua-a)kp" tho. people of those States with all their snrmitjes upon themn ;;we must incorporste theiu into the body politic of the United 8tates, as equal vo~otitneut members. We must recollect that 9 man in South Carolina, a oittiie of the Uni ted Stateb, naust be placed on preoise ly the sttneS platform, and covered by the same proteotioli, en'dowed with the saine political privileges, As a'mnan' In Massachusetts or Michigan.

THE TRUTH AT LAST. We are now, in many localties In the South, reduced to the necessity, in order to get Federal appointments filled, of selecting them from ignoram., uses or rascals ; and yet the senator from Indiana tells us that we can se leot where we will-that the fifty thousand loyal men are amply suffi cient to guide the counsels of. the na tion in those States. Now, I wish to. do all credit to the men who were loyal to the flag in the Southern States -I wish to give them all the praise which belongs to men who resisted a current that belongs to my friend from Indiana never had to resist-I wish to give them all the laurels that be long to them. Far be it from nq, who saw their suffering and their uaa rifloes through that terrible contest, to take one single leaf from the pbap let which should bind their biows. But, Mr. President, they were few in numbers; as a rule they were insigni fioant in political and social conse quence ; and if you attempt to carry on the business of government in those States by their agency and that of the race lately enfranchised alone, you will certainly fail. WHY HE nECAME A SENATOR. And when any senator charges that the political course on this floor of another senator would be controlled by the consideration of the question of his re-election, it is an aspersion upon his integrity as a senator, and an lnipliontion that be will Violate his ou h as such. When a senator allows his official senat~rial conduct here to be governed by such wetives as those, it is better that his place should b filled by another-man, and lot me say that I do not hold the seat I ooupy hero because I would have sought the place which I do hold, nor would I have held it or have been a casdidate for it, but for the fact that I desired to keep out others who were oven less fit to be here than myself, and that I could select in my State many men at that time who, if it had not been for these very disabilities imposed by the Fourteenth amendment, would have stood on this floor much abler advo cates of the principles of the Repub lioan party, much stronger men for the State of South Carolina, and for the United States, that I can ever hope to be. PROsCRIPToN PLAYED OUT. But, Mr. President, I did not rise to speak at any length on this bill. I believe, as I said when I began, that the speech of the senator from Con neoticut but re-eohoes the sentiments of the vast majority of the people of the Republican party; and -I believe that the acuteness of the senator from Indiana has in this instane~ failed him, and that ho has not sufficiently studied the sentiment of the party of which he is so distinguished an orna mont. I think tfai when thie people speak on this subjdot, he will find that ho represents not that majority which might have the right to read aniinori ty out of its ranks, but.that he. stands in a minority which . may rather ask to be admitted to the orthodoz plat form of the party. GRANT vs. HANCOCK.--80me time, ago, General Hancocok wrote to Gen eral 8herdian inquiring' why' he w~as not promoted to the place- made va cant by Thomas' death. Sherman returned this insulting answer : "I atn requested by the Piresident to lnfotm yott tbst there is nothing in your personal *elatios' to Gehierals Grant, or lb your dffiaial- relwtiods to his, administratiQD, that oduld -j'udtify your promotlon now, or lead. you to ex poet it lierpafter."

JNm'. The Missioiary Record on Beform. spea ing of the reform movement in this State, the colored editor of the Missionary Record-popularly known as Daddy Cain-explains how the two races wero separated in sympathy thro years ago; and recognizes in this movement a wish to bring them back into accord. Assuming that the whitos are the more active of the two just now, he says: "We certainly ap preoiate their feelings in that direc tion, and do not object to their at tempts to regain the confidence of the people. There are but few, if any, objectionable features in their meet. ing or resolutions. They demand just and honest administration of govern ment. They demand low taxation. They demand economy. They demand honesty. All of these are reason. able and just demands, and we second these demands with all our heart. We pelieve there is not a Republican in the State, who desires a good gov ernment, but will concur in these de mands. On those points we are all ageod. Note this language well. It is sig nificant. It is the language of one thoroughly aroused to the infamous administration whiuh he has been do nouncing so trenchantly of late. Note the separation of Republicans into two classes.-those "who desire a goodgovernment," as all honest men do ; and those who do not. This latter class is the one at which he is aiming his denunciations. It is the one at which the Reforn party is directing its artillery. A few wo-eks ago the Missionar.y Record denounced these corruptions in high places, and the rings that are I wresting the hard-earned dollars from our impoverished people. In Satur day's issue it touches upon this matter in this vein : "The willful waste of the public moneys in certain directions, the for mation of cliques in and through which this great waste is perpetrated, are the most damning features of this misgovernment, and wanton extrava gance. We have hear d of the vibrat- I lug ourses which have fallen upon onr head, siuce we called attention to this j J few %eeks ago. We ad vise those gentlemen keep perfectly cobl; we know enough of their tran sactions, to hang them; and when they push, us to the wall we will tear off the garments from their deformed politioal carcasses, and exhibit them to public gaze in such a manner that they will be confined so deep in their plitical graves that Gabriel's trumpet t will never awake them." No doubt Daddy Cain knows some of those stunning facts which closed the lips of Senators when Leslie on the floor of the Senate challenged them to ask him about the land com mission moneys. The grave Senators were.silent that night ard to-day when Daddy Cain denounces them', they are tnute. What power on earth can keep closed all these lips during the coming campaign. t Not all the bribery, bayonets, Win chester rilea, and executive brigand age, nor all the dragooniiig, both mili tia and constabulary, of the Scott regfime.-Guardian.

Wyatt Aiken. CoKESBUfly, May 14. To the Ectitor of the Charleston News: It appears that the remarks I made before the recent convention in your city have excited the ire, disgust and ':ontempt of bh- friends and foe, and curses hot and heavy have been heaped upon me from every holo and corner of' tho city of Charleston. What are the lacts in the case ? On the morning of the last day of the convention, after a free discussion upon lubjects generally pertinent to the ob. ect of the convention, I ventured to >htrude upon that body my opinions, nd, in reply to a member who had irgued 'hat in importing inimigrants to his country we must receive them as ur equals socially, I entered my protest igonst anyv such inducement being >reseited. A promicuous recognition >f social equality with strangers fron iny quarter I would not subscribo to. qeithwr would vou, Mr. E litor, nor vould it be asked for or expected by any ntte'll igent 1 inigrant. This was the idea I intended ad 'ancing. IfI was unfortunate i ex. iressing a different idea, I can but 'egret it. I feel that no :nan in the 3tate, according to his means, has done, an do, or will do more than I to en. ourage immigration, elevate labor, and ejvenate our old worn out hnds. If o the effect this end policy forbids the ruth should be told, then my consola. ion is I am too honest to be even >olitic. A word, if you please, to the Charles on press. Your Geritan paper says I ave learned but little during the past ix years. I plead guilty to the charge nd I confess the Correspondent has by lo means increased my learning. It ails me "a slaveocrat." W herefore ? 3ecause, forsooth, I (lid not extrol the tir haired German, and waste volumes I gas in deelarin- the generous velcome that awaited the immigrant. I narrated simnly what I had seen f the Chinese, aind expressed myself lensed with their labor ; that where workig with negroes they hat allowed pecitaors to paus unobserved, while tle oAgru'm slop their work to tako a sur 'ev of the visitor; that they are frugal lid economical, while their colored co tborers were extravagant, and oftener han otherwise would spend on Satur ay the next earning of the week ; that he Chinese would answer for our tide iater huads, but, ioL for ihe upper ountry, and that I did not advocate heir introduction into the latter section. 'or this and this alone the Suedlicher 'orrespondent accuses me of seeking for bouthern redemption through Obinese abor, and uses other truthless and in onsistent remarks that have fallen iarmlessly at my fect.
