He aaicf ao at the , depot op his arrival, and half an hour liter he reiterated the statement at the , house and added : "Atid if you . dopjt \ the sort of q spring-gun 1 am, and don't you forget it J" They didn't forget it. He gave them no chance to. He ate with his fiegers, wiped his mouth • ' on his sleeve and gave the family to understand before supper was over that he didn't come West to have his hair combed or his face washed as a regular j business. On the first evening he slip* ped out, had three fights and stole a I dog. ami whefi hunted up he was About | to take his bee#ln a Miloon. Thbj fam- . ily expected to wrestle with the boy for a while and, they didn't nit down on him tmril It became a painful necessity. During his first week he stoic $5 in money, a gold chain, a revolver and a p£tr o? ear-rings and he got drunk twice. When reasoned with and asked to do better he took a fr«#h chew of plug tobacco and replied : ,40h ! you Michigan folks »re too roft! If ^ feller den t have a^good time what's the use of being an orphan .On Monday of tlic seoond week he'sold the family dog to a stranger for a quarter, threw the saw and ax into the alley, an<l When locked up in a closet he tore a Sunday coat to pieces. It was thought best to have a policcmnn bilk to him and one was called in. Ho put on his fiercest look and lectured the hunb for fifteen minutes, but as soon as he stopped for breath t lie young sinner replied : "Now, are here, old buttons, you are wasting time! 1 know piy 1ft-, • ' do, and if you think I've come to a village like thi* to be butfod by anybody, yooVc missed your train T He was taken to Sunday school by the hand, lie hadn't been there half an hour when he was taken out by the collar. He seemed anxious to punch the head of every good little boy within half a mile of him, and he told the teacher of lib* class that when she could stuff Moses in the bulrush ns down him It would be after she had bleached out her freckles. They give him a Sunday school hook to fit Ids case, but he fitted it to a crack in the sidewalk on his way home. When moral suasion had no effect on thh wicksd yaiuh fa guardian tried the rod. lie was bigger than the boy, and he walloped him, but within nf the mus acre taken oflPliialmggy auff thrmvn savay, Vftiere was a second soance In the woodshed, and before dark a window-glass worth $8 was broketu That orphan was faithfflllf and duly and pefsi gently wrestle*! wltn. ha will coaxed and fluttered.

Such u change is a source of gratificAtion, btlt Mr. Gough attributes it to the increase of intemperance, which I has been sogi eatas to alarm the thought ful and incite the influential to earnest labor to avert the impending evij. Such a condition of affifrrs Mr. Gough predicts for America. As yet the influential classes are not awake to the jrenl danger that threatens the land, but the day may soon come when with us, as with England, the results of intemperance will become so terrible as to cause n general uprising throughout the country among the better classes, when Uie listless and the thoughtless will be aware of their posit ion, and the careless, passive multitudes trill realize that it. is not enough to sit quietly by, tyitb- folded hands, leaving the labor to the few, but wiH put forth every effort and wage a relentless war with an enemy which is destroying thousands every year and desolating count less homes. Though Mr. Gough seems as vigorous and active as ever, yet the 37 years of constant, laborious devotion to the temperance cause are gradually working their change and it cannot be long tafore this great apostle and expounder of the truth tvill lay aside the mantle so - long and faithfully worn.to betaken up, let us hope, bv none less worthy nor less dc voted to a noble cause.

Millions of wild pigeons come into the forests of Michigan every otfier jrear to nest, and thi* spring thoy hsve settled down about Emmet, fairly shutting the sun out of sight with their flighf and spreading over an area 15 miles long and 6 or 8 wide.

From the bedch nuts which they gather they form in their own crops a kind of curd whicfc they cram down their infant's throat, until its crop is as inrg£ as "its body, and its body a mass of fat. After 14 days of this generous feeding they inform the squab that he can't live on the old folks any longer, but must shift for himself, and they take their departure to build a new nest, lay another egg and hatch out more material for young squab pie. The squab, left to itself in the nest, keeps comfortable for two or three days on the curd in its crop and the fat already accumulated.

The young birds gain strength rapidly, and by the time the old birds take their northward flight are able to keep up with them, or follow at no great distance behind in flocks by themselves. Their growth is exceedingly rapid, the two weeks sufficing to increase their size from about half that of a man's thumb to that of a full-grown robin. A Bad Girl to Marry . A bad daughter, says an exchange, seldom makes a good wife. If a girl h ill-tempered at home, snarls nt her parents, snnpsat her brothers and sisters, and "tbirtcs" her ordinary duties, the chances arc ten to one that when *hr gets a home of her own she will make it wretched. There are girls who fancy themselves so far sui>erior to their parents that the more privilege of enjoying their society in the house ought 1 6 be all the old people should have the assurance to ask. While their mothers are busy with domestic duties they sit in ilia easiest chairs or lie on the Softest aofiis, feeding on cheap and trashy hovels, and cherish the notion that they are very literary individuals. The household drudgery is too coarse for such fine ladies as they. Girls of this sort are generally very anxious to be married that they may escape the disagreeable ness of a home where they are held more or loss under subjection. A caller who doesn't hay© a chance to see how they behave as daughters may be excused for fancying them lovely and loveable beings ; but one who docs see it is foolish if lie commits himself by offering marriage to a girl of t his eort. If she will not omisI her mother in the domestic labors* is she not likely to be equally slothful and ill-tempered when she marries T It she now thinks herself too fitio to work, is it safe to expect that hor views as to that matter would radically change if she became a wifo ?— Tkoy F*bss.

Women wflth equate hands and small thumbs are said to make good and gentle house wives. This sort of women will make any man happy who is fortunate enough to win them. They are not all romantic lrijt they are what is better — thoroughly domestic. Women with very large thumbs have a "temper" of their own. and generally a long tongue. There is a hint in this to a lover. Let him, the first time he seises hoAd of his mistress V hand, examine, under some pretext or another, her thumb ; and if it be large, let him make up his mind that as soon as he beoomea a married man he will have t+ be a good boy, or else there will be ths/very deuce to pay.
