Young John Dooly.
is den 1. lie died the other
day, wind there were foni’teon hauks
at. th* hup nil, and many persons were
truly prioved, alt!iou<:;h the young
mans many good qualities were not
generally known. He assisted his
father h; an ofii ;o on one of the nve
rm s ; but even his fat,her didn't know
how much he was usiisted, for he was
gone iiuioh of the time, letninf. John
in sole charge. After a little prepa
ration the young man was ready to
receive callers. AVlien ti book agent
dropped in to ask him to subscribe
f>o ’ lie last thing out, John arose,
made a polite bow, and asked him to
be seated for just one moimcr. The
book agent, would drop himself into
the bi:, arm chair waiting at the cor
nel of the table, but lie would rise up
like a green bay tree,’and a good deal
quicker. Five or six eight-ounce
tacks were ingeniously arranged in a
group on the bottom of the chair, and
lifter* getting up and drawing them
vvifr, v claw hammer, which was al
ways lying in sight, the agent wouldn’t
feel like going on and explaining how
his book was outselling every other
book. lie always wont down stairs
without saying another word about
his book, and young John would fol
low along and bow to linn and say
Ibaftli! office boy was deserving of
death for playing snob tricks on
.strangers.
Tima ■ he had a mild May with
agents who were canvassing for ad
vertisements for weekly sheets. He
would say to them:
“ Certainly, w# want to advertise.
Wo think your paper is the best ad
verb. jug medium in Detroit. Call at
noon.’
The agent would call and find the
door locked, and young John at din
ner, and he would loaf around and
lose a whole hour, only to be told to
come a; live, when Mr. John would lie
at supper. Finally, when the agent
began to give, tired, lie would be told
that advertising didn’t seem to be;
tv hat it. was a f< w years ago, and that 1
if they concluded to advertise they,
would .-.ml it. down. He would he ;
ask' and to have a cigar, and while he j
was “s;rep. n r away oil the street the
lire would find powder tuid the agent y j
eyes would got a dose sufficient to
keep him laid up for a week.
Young John knew the step of these !
men who go around canvassing for
money for the benttmu, and when he j
heai and one coming up stairs ho hur- I
t iedly arranged a string running down i
from the top of the door, dodged into
another room, and when the canvas
ser for the heathen opened the door a
pail of water fell on him, knocking oil
his hat in and wetting him down like a
fall from the warf. When he' heard
the pail fall, John would jump out
greatly surprised, and sympathize i
deeply, and agree to have “the office ;
boy’ arrested withiu an hour. The j
canvassers always slid down stairs,
without asking him for any money, j
and the pail was arranged for anot her
victim.
And young John would tie attached
with colic when the life insurance
man came in, and the way he would
roll up his eyes and glare at him would
cause him to back down stairs. And
he. had a way to discourage tho boy
with the hat rack, the man with the i
glassoutter an 1 the woman with pen- j
wipers and it got so at last that 110
one evi r ’cause up these stairs unless
he was full of the most earnest kind
of business.

may never look upon again.— Detroit

How They Played it on Dough
erty.
One day last, week four or five De
troiters went to Macomb county to
■shoot squirrels and kick their shins
against logs and fence rails. They
had just eaten a cold lunch in the
woods one noon when one of the
Tarty, a young man named Dougher
ty, stretched out on his back, pulled
his hat over his eyes, and gave his
mind up to the work of assisting his
body to catch a little rest. The re
mainder of the party, having an un
derstanding before hand, quietly wi.th
xlrew, one by one. One of them
passed around to a bush near Dough
erty’s feet and took a’tin rattle-box
from his pocket. Another stood close
to the young man’s legs, and, in a
suppressed voice, when the signal was
given, whispered:
“Fur H* avoids sake ! Dougherty,
don't move so much as a linger 1 A
big rattle-snake is right under youi
leg f”
Doughert y was Hat on his back, eyes
covered, arms eprawed out, and his
voice trembled as ho replied:
“My God! what shall I do?”
“Keep perfectly quiet! It is your
only hope*! If you even raise a finger
lie will dart his fangs into you ! ”
The man with the rattle-box give
it a shake, and reached out and laid
it club across Dougherty’s legs, while
the other man moved off' about twenty
feet and exclaimed:
“Heavens ! what can we do ? If we
shoot we may kill Dougherty !”
The club was rolled off' ou the
ground and the victim whispered:
“For mercy sake kill it!”
The club was rolled over his legs
again, the box shaken, and the man
whispered back:
“Be quiet or it is instant death ! 1
think the snake wants to go to sleep,
and if you will keep still you will be
all right.” •
The box was shaken, the club mov
ed around, and finally the “snake”
seemed to Dougherty to settle down
ou his breast. He dared not whisper
for fear of rousing it, but oue of the
men called out:
“There, it is asleep! We’ll move
away an 1 wait for it to glide off!”
The whole crowd moved off behind
a bank and laughed and rolled and
tore up tho dirt until they were de
scried, while poor Dougherty lay
them like a log, not even daring to
draw an ordinary breath. The sweat
ran down his face, and started out
from hi.-> body until his s’uirt was
wringing wet. The fellows took their
guns ami tramped away, leaving him
thus, and were gone an hour and a
half. When they returned, Dough
erty was sit ing up, having discovered
the joke about five minutes previous
ly. He didn’t have a word to say,
but there was a whole unabridged
dictionary in his eye. They spoke to
him, but for an answer he rose up,
shouldered his gun, and made a bee
liue for the highway, and none of the
party has met him since.

Youth run Conduct. —The lino of
conduct chosen by a young man dur
ing the five years from fifteen to
twenty, will in all probability deter- •
mine his character for life. As he is j
then, careful or careless, prudent or j
imprudent, industrious or indolent, j
truthful or dissimulating, intelligent j
jor ignorant, temperate or dissolute, j
'so will he be in .after years, and it

Don’t—Pray Don’t.
Don’t tell the little one, who may be
slightly willful, that “the black man
will cmie out o? the dark cellar and
carry it off if it dose not mind.” Don’t
create a needless fear, to go with the
child through all the stages of its ex
istence.
Don’t tell the little five-year-old
Jimmy “the sehoolrna’am will cut off
his ears," “pull out his teeth,” “tie
him up,”-or any of the little horrible
stories that are commonly presented
to the childish imagination. Think
you the little ones will helive anything
you tell him after he becomes ac
quainted with the gentle teacher who
has not the least idea of putting those
terrible threats into execution?
Doii't. tell the children they must not
drink tea because it will make them
black, while you continue the use of it
daily. Your example is more to them
than precept; and while your face is
as fair as a June morning they will
scarcely credit the oft-told tale.
Hither give up drinking the pleasant
beverage or give your children a bet
ter reason for its non-use,
Don’t tell them they must not eat su
gar‘or sweetmeats because it will rot
their teeth. Pure sugar dose not cause
the teeth to decay, and sugar with
fruits is nutritious and healthy, not
withstanding the “old saw - ’ to the
contrary. The case of city children is
often cited; the cause of their pals
faces and slight constitutions being an
over amount of sweetmeats with their
diet, when tho actual cause is want of
pure air and proper exercise.
Don’t tell the sick oue thatiheme
dicine is not bad to take, when you
can hardly keep your own stomach
from turning “inside out” at the smell
of it Better by far tell him the simple
truth that it is disagreeable, but nec
essary for 1. is health ;that you desire
him lo take it at once he will swallow
it with which half tho trouble of coax •
iugand worry of words, and love you
baiter for your firm, decided manner.
Don’t teach the children by exam
ple to toll white lies to each other and
to their neighbors. Guard your lips
and bridle your tongue if yon desire to
have tho coming generation truthful.
Truthfulness is one of the foundation
stones of heaven. Remember, the old,
old Book says “no liar” shall enter
witnin the gates of the beautiful city,
lies and those of a darker hue. A
falsehood is an untruth, whether the
matter be great or small.
E**2rA mau who was taking the reg
istry of births in a neighboring city,
went to tho house oi a somewhat
corse, hard man, and not finding any
one at home, asked a young lady, who
was just coming out of a neighboring
house, if there had been any births in
that house the past year ? “No,” she
replied immediately, ‘ but the man
who lives there ought to be born
again.”
