CAUSES OF EMIGRATION.

the causes of emigration the exec -

stake plain this point. Take, as au

opposite Moutre.11. Yuu see over
there a church ':Dating at le,aat $IUU•

'have their convents and their costly

things exist are poor. If you et,
tertain any doubt about this, go to
Spain, Portugel, Italy, Mexico, the

us emigration is the result of such

w)hcre inducemeft8 were held' out for him
to open a stand for the Pale pF old•faahfoned

regular meeting of the club, after the
transaction of routine husiness, Brother
Gardner called Shindig to the front and
said t
"Brudder Watkins, I'ze bin told dat yo'
talk o' leabin' us."
"Yes,., sale"
"Gwine down to Ohio to sot up in biz -
noes for yo'self ?"
"Yes, sal."
"Wall, dis club will miss yo', an' each
member will he sorry to tee yo' go. While
yo' am not a brilliant man, neither hev yo'
spit on de stove nor broken any latnp chim-
neys. As die am do hast meetin' bairn' yo'r
depat•tur' I wish to. soy a few fatherly
words to yo'."
"Yes, sal."
"In de fust place, pay up all yo'r debts
befor' yo' start. Had Cicero left Rntno ow -

about de aige of Noah when he entered de
ark, go to him an' offer yo'r hand an' make

"1 has drat it, salt," replier] Shindig.
"Doan' go down to Ohio feelin dat y'o
am dofu de stait a great favor by conte,
and down' attempt to put on style ober de
people yo' meet. if yo' had nebber bin lain
into dis world de stait of Ohio would hev

proud 'null to bust to pieces like a biler car-
ryin too much steam."
"Yes, soh," answered Shindig.
I loan' know how yo' staud on de ques-
shun of chickens, Brudder Watkins, but
in gwine into a new community I reckon
yo' had better go slow. Dat is, duan' let
yo'r hankerin fur chickens git de better of
yo'r diacreshun. Let bacon and codfish
satisfy yo' until yo' hev looked around. Yo
are doubtless aware of de fact dat de torpe-
