Weaned From His Cups.

A young wife in Michigan had just
got settled in her new home. All
seemed fair and promising, for she did
not know her husband was drunkard.
But one night he came home ut very
ia,e hour, and much the worse for IL
qaor. When he staggered into the
house the wife, who was greatly
shocked, told him lie was sick and 10
lie down at once; and in moment or
two he was comfortably settled on the
sofa in drunken sleep. His face was
reddish purple, his breathing heavy,
and altogether he was Il pitiable object.
The doctor WAS sent for post haste, and
mustard applied to his feet and hands.
When the doctor came he felt his pulse,
aqd examined him, and found that he
was only drunk, ana salG:
lie will be all right IN the morn
ing"
But the wife insisted that he was
very sick, and that severe remedies
must be used.
You must shave his head and apply
blisters. she urged, ''or | will send for
some one who will"
The husbands head was accordingly
shaved closely and bIisters applied.
Tie patient lay all night in a drunken
sleep, and Notwithstanding the blisters
were eating into the flesh it was not
till near morning that lie began to beat
about, disturbed by pain.
About daylight he walked up to a
most uncomfortable consciousness of
blistered agonies.
What does this mean?" he said put
ting his hands to his bandaged head.
Lie still-you mustn't STIR" said
the wife, you have been taken very
sick.n
"I'm not sick.'
80 yes. you are; you have brain
fever. We have worked with you all
night"
II should think you had,n groaned
the victim; "what's the matter with
my feet?"
"They are blistered."
"Well, I'm better now-take off the
blisters, dol" lie pleaded piteously.
lie was in most uncomfortable
state-his head covered with sores, and
his feet and hands were still worse.
Dear" he said, groaning, ''if I
should ever get sick i'll this way again,
don't be alarmed and send for the doe
tor, and above all don't blister me
again.
20, indeed | will-all that saved you
were the blisters, and if you ever
should have another such spell should
be more frightened than ever, for the
tendency l am sure is to apoplexy, and
from the next attack you would be like
y - die unless there were the sever
esU measures used"
He made no further defence; suffice
to say he never had another attack.

Texas snake story related by the Dal-
las Commercial: Mr.. Walters and his
wife were returning to the city, in
tWo-hOrSe buggy, from a trip into the
country. About seven miles from
town, on the Mansfield road, they
passed a snake that was lying on the
side Of the road, the great size of which
attracted their attention. After pass
ing the reptile, Mr. Walters concluded
he would turn back and kill it, lie
turned the team around, drove back to
a point opposite the snake, drew Lis
pistol and fred at it, but without effect
The horses not being used to the report
! OF firearms, became restless and hard
to control, which caused the attention
of Mr.. Walters to be diverted from the
snake, which ran rapidly to the buggy,
up the wheels, and on the dashboard
before the occupants were aware of it.
The snake, when twas within foot OF
the occupants OF the carriage, coiled
the lower part of its body, threw it's
neck into graceful curve, drew back
its head, and was just III the act of
launching its deadly fangs INTO Mr..
Walters, when he fired the second shot.
This, though missing, had the effect to
cause the snake to lower itself on the
tongue of the carriage. Mr.. Walters
then fired two more shots, one of which
took. effect, and caused the reptile to
fall from the carriage to the graund,
and Walters dispatched it with stone.
The reptile was measured, and found
to be over six feet long and was thicker
than mans wrist,

This boy stood on his little sled,
And looked down al his toes,
As down the slippery hill he sped,
Upset, and smashed his nose.
He tore his breeches, ripped his coat,
And skinned his little rump.
When he went home he told his ma
He run against stump.
She asked him IF he'd been to school,"

But he had been with other boys

She smashed his little sled.
She warmed him with piece Of stave
And made him 90 to bed.

And often gets a siur:

sTThe First Private"
rare specimen of soldierly humanity

Arare specimen of soldierly humanity
once appeared at 4 Southern hotel.
In the large bar room of the house,
during the evening, 4 discussion arose
I touching certain events that transpired
at the battle of Shiloh. The dispute
waxed warm. Many of those present
, had been in the war, some engaged on
/ the one side, and some on the other,
and being military men, and officers at
that, they were very emphatic. At
length modest gentleman, who had
/ been sitting in far corner, quietly lis
/ tening, arose and came forward.
Gentlemen" said he, 81 happened
to be in that hattle-was in at The be-
ginning, and came out at the end-and
| if you would like, l will tell you just
1 How'll was.
/ All were respectfully silent while he
/ spoke, and they could not be otherwise
! than attentive; for the mans descrip
ton of the battle was so precise, so cir
| cumstantial, So eloquent, and so start
lingly vivid, that those who had been
there seemed to be living the fiery scene
over again. When he had concluded,
| all understood and there was room for
no more dispute.
| On the following morning, the soldier
of Shiloh went to the Office to settle his
| bill previous to departure, and asked
the amount of his Indebtedness. Said
/ the landlord
"You We're in the army"
Eyes, sir"
"May | ask what office you held?"
81 held no commission, sir, l was but
a private soldier"
as it possible? Well, sir, | shall
claim the privilege of celebrating this
rare event by making you a present of
a receipted bin without further cost to
you. OF the thousands of soldiers that
have stopped at my house since the close
of the war, you are the first private"

Pres. t}ilaY regards the migration Of
insects as due TO then multiplying more
rapidly than their means Of support.
The migrati0ns of rats are attributed to
the same cause, and similar obSerya-
tions have been made as TO other a..i-
mails. Many insects that ale not nor
mally of 2 migratory tendency, exhibit
il when pressed by dearth of food. In
these cases they collect together and
migrate in large bodies. Referring to
instances Of the kind, Prof. Riley stated
that vast flights Of butterflies tQok
place at times from the equatorial re-
gions of South America. Migrating
sWaIins have been observed at sea; and
also in the southwestern parts of the
United States. where the fact = ire
quently recorded Il ipcai newspapers,
espec;;aiiY IL September and October,
and occasionally in the spring months.
III every instance where observations
have kesn made, this migrating butter
/. fly has been found to be the asahippus.
Additional observations GA the subject
of migratory insects raight prove of
value.

A 5olng gentleman of Prairie Grove,
Texas, proposed to his lady love, but
was gently refused. He went a second
and third time with the same result.
But at length he rode over one evening
and told her he would neither eat, sleep,
nor speak until she consented to become
his bride. She invited him to dinner;
he shook his head. She talked on; lie
merely looked detected. Then she re-
quested him to take supper; negative
shake of the head was the only reply.
She played, sang and chatted on till
bed time when q servant showed him q
room; a negative shake. She tripped
away to her chamber; ho sat determined

Not long since man stopped at the

The man eyed her with great aston

his voice as if he thought her afflicted
with deafness, ''to my wife in Proyi-
