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. I*ool' young John! His like we may never look upon again.— Detroit Free Press. -V J*-- “Please Stop My ’- What? “Times are hard, money is scarce, business is dull.

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. Remarks by Josh Bim.ings.—lf you i want to get a big krop, aud a big J yield for the seed, sow will outs. If i had a boy who didn’t lie, well enough to sute me, i would send him t'.i lendin a dri goods store. Man was bleated a little lower than the angels, and has been gittin lower ever since. It is dredful easy to be a pbool —a mm kiiu be one and never know it. The man who lean wear a shirt a | whole week, and keep it clean, uint fit for aiiythihg else. When a man's dog deserts him on akount of his poverty, be can’t git any lower in this world, not bi land. Jan- is like the mease’s —we kau t always tell when we ketched it, and aint apt to have it severe but oust, and then it aint kounted much unless it strikes inly. 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 | needs no prophet to calculate his | chances in life. jj@~“Do you know why you are • like the third term?” said Susan Jane Ito her brother, who lingered to talk j with her Adolphus after the old folks ! had retired. “Ko, I don’t.” “Well,” replied his saccharine sister, its be | cause you're one too many. backwoodsman, describing a steamboat, said: “It lias a saw mill ~none side, a grist mill on the other, and a blacksmith shop in the middle, j and down stairs there’s a tarnation j big pot boiling all the while,” 82.50 A YEAR. 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.” fligif"The Brandon (Miss.) Republi can exclaims: “May tho good Lord have mercy' on the oppressed tax payers of Grenada. Their taxes amount to fifty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents on the thousand dollars’ worth of taxable property. The Board of Supervisors is com posed entirely of negroes, and they are controlled by a set of thieves who ought to be in the penitentiary.” {fey. *• 1 wouldn’t be a cook for the whole world !
