A BIT OF A REVERE.
The Old Homo Amt What 1t Used to be.

What Western man is there who, after
q stay in the new West of ten or dozen
Years, did not go beck to his old home
i'll New York or New England with great
auticipations of pleasure? He dreamed
of it for months before starting, and he
made careful preparations to make the
stay at "thc old place" long one. He
called to mind the Jims and Toms and
SuSica aud MarSS of his boyhood, and
thought how delightful it would be to
meet them. He remembered Sloun's
pond, where he tishcd when n boy, the
mill ON the creek from the pond of
winch he had pulled so many bull-hcads,
the hill which every winter of his bovI
hood had been his resort with his sled,
the red schoolhuusc; every orchard and
watermelon patch ne had robbed came
freely before him. His blood courscd
quicker ns the train moved iuto the sta
tlom and hc WIS i'll the seventh heaven OF
expected pleasure by the time hr had
got I" his mothers house.
Disappointment OF most sri5rninu
kind followed. One JIM wis in Wis
cousin. another w,u8 in the graveyard.
The village itself had changed so that

mGs. The railroad had given the vii
la2c Il start, and it WAS about the same
as the one ne had left in the West. The
woods had all been cut off the hills and
Sloan'S pond i'll consequence had dried

ago, aud the very river had Shrlnk, pos

eyes were different from boys eyes.
Round hill wasn't exactly the shape OF
II sugar loaf, as hc had always had it in
his mind, and the laughing, rompinc,
rrd-chcckcl SuSics and Marys of his
boyhood he found staid, sober, worn
mutrmlS, with other SllSirs and MnrvS to
care for. And when Tom came to him
j" found him not Il rOSy-chCekCd bov

most promising boy of the village school
and the prize scholar III the Sabbath

ing about the gin mills, and Sam, The
*tupidcst boy in the school, was tho
principal lawyer in the county, and was
being talked of for Congress-. And to
add to his trouble, the dishes cooked by
his mother, of which he had been SC
fond when q boy, tasted entirely differ

replied with sigh:

must remember there is a difference be-

The Ostrich Kick,

From an article on Charming for
Feathers" in the January Century wo
clip the following:
When farmer goes into savage birds
camp he takes with him O. thorn pole.
with branch or two of the thorny bush
left on the end. This is called n ''tuck."
and when the tuck is applied to the os-
trich's head or neck (his tender points)
he Is almost invariably subduod, and,
after one Oh two efforts to escape. bolts
furiously off to the other side of the
camp, where he races up and down to
vent his bailled rage. If, however, the
bird gets near enough to his opponent to
give the so-callcd kick, he lifts his bony
leg as high as his body and throws it for
ward with demoniao grotcsqucness and
brings it down with terrible force. His
object is to rip the enemy down with his
dangerous claw, but in most cases it is
the fiat bottom Of his foot which strikes,
and the kick is dangerous rs much from
It's sheer power as from its lacerating eff
fccts. 1t is Il movement Of terrible vo-
l0city and power, at all events. Several
Instances may be mentioned of herd-bovs
being thuS either wounded, MANNED, or
killed outright. One case occurred near
Grnatf ltcinct, in which II horse had his
back broken by II single blow. In this
case the bird had cndcnvorcd to kill the
rider, but missed him and struck tho
horse.
Many persons have been set upon by
birds when there wns no shelter, not even
tree to run TO- In such case, if the
pursued were acquainted with struthious
tactics, he would lie down flat on tho
ground, where the bird finds it impossi-
BILE To strike him. But even this is no
light MATTER for some t,irls in their rage
at being hailcd Of their kick, will roll
over their rrostrate enemy, believing
with fury and trnmplmg upon him in tho
most cont 'mptuous fashion. One man
who thus attempted the lying-down plan
found that every time he attcmntcd to
rise the bird would return aud stand sen
try over him, till at last, after creeping n
distance he got out only by swimming q
pond that bounded ono side of the camp.
