IPSINGLE COPIES ONE CENT. [Pow THE sTaR. THE ORPHAN'S REVENGE. a TRUE STORY. In 1853, Buenos Ayres declined numbering herself amongst the provinces of the Argentine Confederation. In consequence, she equally declined to nize the authority of the newly elected President, General Urquiza. Urquiza declared war against her as rebellious to the Confederation. His — beseiged the city, and his fleet, commanded by the treacherous , We regret to say an American, block- aded the port. Basely abandoned by some of his officers, whom Buenos Ayrean gold had probably corrupted, and suffering from the want of his vessels, all of which were shortly sold to the enemy, he found himself in a weak and even oritical condition. The mediating ministers Messrs. Sehenck and Pendletion, Sir Charles Hothan and the Chevalier St. George, notwithstanding their earnest endeavors, had succeeded in effecting nothing towards a recon- ciliation of the cont«nding parties; nor even could induce them to abide in good faith by mutual treaty stipulations. A game of fraud and trickery was best suited to their tastes, yoreenaety to the authorities of Buenos Ayres. No ment could have saved Urquiza’s head had he fallen into their hands. He saw the perils of his present situation, and was con- sidering as to how he might best extricate him- self, when the arrival of Mr. Pendleton was an- nounced. It was about nine o'clock at night. Our minister found him aware of the danger that menaced him, and proposed that be should instantly proceed with his staff on board the U. S. steamer Water Witch, Commander Page. Riis soldiers mi, t follow and take passage on board the English and French eee lying in the river. e General did not hesitate a mo- ment. Ho entered Mr. Pendieton’s carriage and that night found himself on the deck of the Water Witch. The next day the seige was raised. The little American steamer. at Ur- » each request, stood into the port of Buenos res and afforded him the satiafaction of taking a look at the excited populace along the mole, now chafing with disappointment in not having eecured his person. The Buenos Ayreans wero indeed exasperated. The city was in a wild state of ferment. Besides the number of troops in every quarter of the town, it was a whole people that had risen in ferocious outeries against the outside forces, now so secure. Ur- quiza has never forgotten his indebtedness to us. He bas invariably received our country- yaen with marked attention and even partiality. But whilst these bistorical events are transpir- ing let us to our story : in the day of the raising of the scige, a com- pany of about fifty men were statioued near the outskirts of the city; a kindof advanced guard. They were trawn up in double file, but leisurely reposing on their muskets. A few feet in ad- vance stood their commander, a tall and well- built man, of an ordinary face and dark com- plexion. He was engaged in a lively conversa- tion with a young man of apparently eighteen, of a good height, smooth face and sharply de- fined features. There was a suppression about his well chiseled mouth that bespoke firmness of purpese. His small but dark piercing eyes shone brilliantly beneath delicate and well curved eye-brows. His hair was as black as a raven’s feathers and short. # half military and half civilian’s dress, and wore a sword at his side. The conversation taking a turn, he grew more earnest. “| should never fail to recognize him, I feel assured. His face is perfectly fami see him now, and if he ever once crosses my gr may the Holy Virgin have mercy on him, or 1° — Stopping short, before completing his remark, | his attention was called t» a middle-aged man approaching in that direction. His eyes were for a moment riveted upon the moving figure. It was he beyond a doubt. “* What ails you **’ inquired the officer. Clatching his arm, and pointing with a trem- bling finger to the man that seemed to be hur- riedly approaching them, he faintly muttered with clenched teeth * * That is the man, I know him.’ The officer started; but recovering himself after a quick glance, called for a musket. The order was obeyed. This he handed to his com- panion, whose pale face and quivering lip ome showed that his emotions were deeply moved. The stranger was close upon them. He seemed to instinctively avoid the soldiers that he now for the first time observed; not that he ad seen anything passing in their ranks to warn him against nearer approach, but ap- parently merely to avoid observation and keep company to himself. So, changing his course, he was burrying in another direction when the deep voice of the Captain hailed him. He obeyed. In appearance he was a perfect pan- eho. A low pancho cap covered his dark, jh, but beardless face. He wore a white ted purcho, apparently much soiled, and the short, deeply fringed breeches to match. His boots were made of the lower skins of a horse’s hind legs, and ornamented with heavy silver spurs. le wag tall and stalworth, but for the present put on a subdued look. It would have been difficult to recognizs in his face the blackened heart that beat within. “Are you a Unitarian or not; are you for Ur- quiza or Buenos Ayres ?"’ somewhat sternly en- quired the officer in command. “I am a peaceable man,’ was the reply, “and would not willingly give offence to eitber.”’ “Bat I have seen you in outside ranks, if my eyes failed me not,’ and asearching glance from the figure before him showed that there might have been some reason in the remark. “Seen me in the outside ranks'’’ exclaimed the stranger, retreatingastep ‘0! no, Senor Capitan, your eyes must have failed you. I am but a poor shepherd of Santiago, and have come a great distance on business to the city. I am at enmity with no one.” “* Peaceable business '’’ remarked our young friend, with acurl of the lip. ‘Men in these times of war do not come to Buenos Ayres on — business; men come here to fight. ou belong to some party? Answer? More- ever, what means that weapon projecting from under your pancho’? Be good enough to let me have it. Peaceable man, indeed '”’ The frat —— of the man thus addressed was to secret the pistol that had betrayed hm; but handed it to the speaker at his request. The officer of the party, then, with a look at his young companion, said : “ My good man, you are at least character. Icannotlet yougo. You will pass this night in the guard-house. If treated wrongfully, justice will be done you. This soldies,”’ pointing to his friend, “ will accom- pany you.” Bringing hie musket to his side, and grace- tully touching his cap, he led off with a fearful triumphant simile his prisoner. They moved on in silence; exchanging a glance now and then, but seemingly uninclined to conve: tion. -The prisoner was quiet and thoughtful. His guard, on the contrary, excited and ner- vous, walked in a restless and impatient man- ner. Suddenly, the latter, after baving pro- ceeded sume distance, took a cautious look around him and pape no one, halted. * Stand,”’ cried he to his prisoner. | The prisoner stwod, though not a little puz- aled at the reason of the command. | * Tell me, you mate ereature, do you know | me’ Have you never seen me before, nor any | one resembling me? Sean my features well The face, the eyes—all are familiar to you. Once you knew them well; but you do not know me now?” “No,” waa the laconic reply. “ I will refreshen fora moment your memory.

Do you not see him now before you, speaking to you’ If not, it was my father, my only loving parent, my only earthly support. It was you that made me an orphan, you that threw me out on the cold charity of ‘the world. I was buta child when it peproned ; but I have cherished it in mind; I have thought of you; I have dreampt of you; I have anion ou, and tracked you; and now you shall pay early for the foul deed.”’ The prisoner, whose head rested upon his breast whilst listening to these hot words, start- ed at the click occasioned by the cocking of the musket. “ Prepare yourself,” fiercely grated upon hia ear, and the next moment, as a whole life time danced before his mind’s eye, he fell with a deep groan to the ground, shot to the heart. “God have merey on your soul,”’ piously ex- claimed the soldier, crossing himself. Then, ie ceo arms to the body, he turned upon is heels and retraced his steps. He found the officer and his men standing as he had left them. “You are quick,”’ said the captain; “ but I je ier your prisoner was placed in safe cus- ry ‘Not so,’ was the reply in a low tone of voice; “‘ he attempted to escape and I was forced to shoot him, as the law allows."” A knowing smile played about the mustache of the officer, who finaliy remarked : “‘Ho deserved it. The retribution is just. Say your prayers for his soul.’ TREATMENT OF SAILORS. How tho sailors are sometimes treated may bo learned from the following extract from the Rev. Mr. Taylor's Seven Year’s Preaching in San Francisco.’’ This book gives some graphic descriptions of the wrongs perpetrated on sail- ors: When the sailor's bill at the boarding house runs to cover the ‘‘advance’’ the landlord says, ** Jack you must ship.’’ “*T won't do it,’ says Jack. “ You shall do it; you owe me a hundred dol- lars, and you must either Pay me to-day or go to sea in the ship Challenge.” “0, I don’t want to go to sea yet,’’ saya Jack. “0, well, never mind, says the landlord, you are aclever fellow, and you may stay at my house as long as you please, and pay me when you get ready. Come, let’s take a drink.” Jack, very glad to be on such good terms with the landlord, walks up to the bar, and drinks to the health of his master. In ten minutes he is as insensible asa log. When he recovers from his mysterious sleep, he is out of sight of land. He is awakened by the stern command, “ Wake = here, and go to work.”’ The poor fellow, rubbing his eyes, inquires : “What ship is this? Whither bound?” “ To Hong Kong.” “ How did I get hore?” “Why, you shipped sir,’’ says the master. “T never shipped in this ship.” “Yes, you did, sir, and you must ge to work without any more grumbling,” replied the cap- tain, sternly. “*T want to see the articles,’’ says the sailor. “Well, sir, here they are. What is your name ?’’ “ My name ia John Waters.” “ There it is, written on the articles in two places, once by the landlord and once by the shipping master.’’ «I never signed those articles,”’ replies John. “No,” replies the master, ‘‘ you were too drunk to write your name, but there's your mark.’* John put hie hand to his head, and studies a moment, and says: “I want my advance before I go to work; how much was I to get ?”” “One hundred and twenty-five dollars for the run, paid in advance,”’ replies the captain, “and here is your account from the shippin office ; your bill with the boarding master too one hundred dollars, leaving me twenty-five, leg he handed me to give you when you got sober.”” John takes the twenty-five dollars and goes to work. “ But, you ask, what did the land- shark give to the wailor, to take away his senses so suddenly ?”’ It was a compound of whisky, brandy, gin, rum and opium, which, if a man drinks he slakes into the Lethean stream for a dozen of hours. But the kidnappers practice not alone on men. Here is a case from the same volume : A landlord, lacking a man to make up acrew, met a German glazer on Long Wharf, with a pack of glass on his back, and said to him : “ Hie, my good fellow, don’t you want a job?” “ Yes, sir.” “T want you,’’ snid the shark,’’ to put some glass in the stern of that ship,”’ pointing to a a- ship in the stream. ‘“ Jump into my boat here, and I'll take you on board.”’ So off they went. As the German sat in the stern of the Loat, much pleased with the pros- pect of a good job, the shark said to him, “ Will you tive a cigar.” Yea." So the glazer sat and puffed away as he used to do in his Faderland, but before they reached the ship he tumbled over in the bottom of the boat. ¢ shark threw his pack of glass into the bay and running along side, hailed—‘ On deck there! lower away and haul up the man.” A rope was lashed around him and he was hauled up. Tho shark run into the captain's office, saying, “Captain, I've got a first rate sailor here, he’s a little boozy to-day, but he'll be all right to-morrow.” and got his advance. The poor German waked up at sea, with a lon- ger job than he had engaged for, and the worst of the business, he must not only work for no- thing, but be kicked and cuffed through the whole voyage for having the presumption to impose himself ns an able seaman, when he knew nothing about the business. The cigar was drugged On one occasion a shoemaker stepped to the bar to take a drink and waked up the next day at sea. and did not get back to his business for nine months Reixep Youxo Mux —{Froma Paris Lett r.} Call the rol! of the *‘young men of 1*30," and ask where are they?
