Otie of the little lambs picked up in the streets of New York by WMtelaw Reid and sent Went to find a home was adopt ed by a Detroit family about tnro months ago, and ere this is published Mr. Reid lies received a big postal card announcing thai his dear Iamb has gone West to fight the Indians, and that he needn't mind about sending on another to take his place. . This New York Iamb was 13 years old. He said so at the depot on bis airival, anJ half an hour later he r3 iterated ihe state ment at the house, and added :' "And It you don't believe It, then call me a liar ! That's the sort of a spring gUn I am, and don't you forget it." 1'liey didn't forget it. He gave them iioelnmce to. He ate. -with his Augers, wiped his tnoutb on lite sleeve, and gave the family to understand tie fore supper Was over that he didn't come West to have his hah combed or his faco washed as a regular business. On Ids first evening he slipped out, had three fights and stole a dog, and w heu hunted up he was about to take his beer in a saloon. The family expected lo wrestle with the boy for awhile, and they didn't sit down on him until .t become a painful necessity. During his first week he stole $3 In money. a gold chain, a revolver, and a pair of earrings, and he got drunk twice. When reasoned with and asked to do better, lie took a fresh chew of a plug of tobacco and replied : "Oh ! you Michigan folks are too soft ! If a teller can't have a good time, what's these of being an orphan ?" Oil Monday of the second week he sold the family dog to a stranger for a quarter, threw the saw and ax Into the alley, and when locked up in a closet he tore h Sun day coat to pieces. It was thought best to have a policeman talk to him. and was called in. lie put on his fiercest look, and lectured the Iamb fur fifteen minutes, but as soon as he stopped tor breath the young sinner replied : "Xow see here, old buttons, you are wasting time ill know my little gait, I do, and if you thick I've couie to a vil lage like ihi9 to be buffed by anybody, you've missed your tralu !" He was taken to Sunday school by the hand. He hadn't been there halt an hour when he was taken out by the collar. He seemed anxl us to punch the head of every good little boy within halt a mile of him, and he told the teacher of his class that when she could stuff Moses in tiie bulrushes down him it would be after she had bleached out her freckles. They gave him a Sunday school book to fit bis case, but he fitted it to a crack in the sidewalk on h!way home.! Wdien moral; suasion bad no effect on the V icked youth, his guardian tried the rod. He was bigger than the boy, and he walloped him, but within three hours two ot the nuts were taken off his buggy and thrown away, j There wal a secdnd seance in the woodshed, ' and before datk a window glass- worth eight dollars was btoken. j That orphan was faithfully and duly and presistcntly wrestled with. He Was cotxed and flattered. He was licked and reasoned with, j Ambition, gratitude, fear and avarice were aliki appealed to in torn, but as he was the first (lay so he was the !ait. A few days ago he was told that he would lie sent to the reform school at Lanstng. If there was any further trouble with him. That night he stole $0 of the cook, a butcher kir.fe from the pantry, a pie from the sideboard, and departed from the house, letvlng on his bed a note read ing as follows : - This ihowii ar no place for a Xew York orfun.

" Nigh on to a quarter of a century ago it was during the summer of 1858 I occasionally ateuded week-day evening religious meetings "conference meetings," we called them in a small Church on West Thirty-sixth street, New York. The lesson of one of those even ings, with subsequent events, lelt au im pression on my mind that can never be dimmed while life and sense are left me. A pale-cheeked, bollow-fuced man arose In his place and.offercd a few thoughts on the subject of tlie value of a faith, firm and abiding, in a future life. He bad but a short time to live he felt it keenly but he felt, also, that he was willing to go when the time should . come. He closed by saying that It would add to li peace, and comfort t," lie - .cqJC Aellce UiatrJie had the prsy sf s of W friends there present in his behalf. Ne&t after htm arose a man whose presence was a "thing of beauty"--a man lot yet at middle age ; healthful and robust ; with eyes bright and clear ; skin like a child's ; cheeks plump and rosy H standing full six feet hi height, and turn ing the scales at very near two hundred. He was by trade a builder ; and hever used tobacco nor ardent spirits j.and,.he was happy to declare, had neVer known an hour of sickness in his life. His grip was like iron, and his step as firm as the broad-based mountain. I can never forget his opening words. Said he, with a glance towards the Invalid who bad just reMfnet! his seat : "The w.irds of the brother should be heeded by all of us. He is weak and ail ing ; I am strong and well i yet, who 8liall say which of us may be called first to pass the shadowy vale !" And then he' went on, in plain and homely language, to give the lesson he would impress upon the minds of those who heard htm. And the lesson was this : 'Be ye therefore ready, also ; for the. Son of Man Cometh at an hour when ye think riot." On tlie even of the very next day our good pastor called upon me, and informed me tliat brother S was dead. During the early pate of tlie day, while giving directions to his .worljinen, audi assisting iu laying the upper- floor-timbers iff a building be was erecting, he missed hfs footing and fell to the cellar bottom, killing IiIim instantly. And he had been the strong, vigorous, healthful man ol the preceding evening the man who. though he had never known an hour of sickness, yet t! o ght f haying hi- h us in readiness ! Anil t e - a'e-faced, hollow cheeked man wailing so patiently the summons, I met, still clothed lu the flesh, ten years later. No the lesson ol that evening enforced by the event of the following day, is not to be forgotten. Nor would I be willing to forget it. Amid the. changeful scenes of life in joy and In sorrow in. success and in adversity at ail times. Bud alws.ys, tt must be a gratifying sense lo be able to fuel that "our house is in order, and the spirit willing" tor the great transition. Mot atarli or m Lots. A young lady went to a drugstore. Mon day, located not ft hundred miles from the market house, and had a prescription made up. "How much ?" inquired the lady. "Fifty ceiits," said the clerk. 'But I have only lorty-flve cents wlih me," replied the customer ; "can't you let me have it for that ?" "No ma'am,'" said the clerk, but you can pay me the five cents when you come in again." ,. , "But suppose I were to die ?44said the lady jocularly. "Well, it wouldn't be a very great loss, was the smiling response., And Immediately (110 Innocent clerk gathered from the indignant flash on the lady's face, that he had been misunder stood, and before he could assure bet that it was the Mttle balance and not her that would be no great loss, she had bounced out at ft go-as-you-please gait, aud was beyond the sound of his voice. G. Mulzot, while on a visit to Lord Aber deen, in Scotland, was talking to him in the park one day about the English sysfehl of elections, wlien his host stopped before a modest cottage.
