THE FROST AT MEMPHIS.

1t was nightfall in the city,
There was silence on the street,
And anon the sound of sobbing,
And the tread of hurried feet;
Sluggish wings of mist were stirring
Through the pestilental air,
And the meek cross-hearers persisted
From their sacrifice and prayer.
In the dull and heavy twilight
Lay boy OF tender years,
Where the seourge was knocking hourly
For its dole of death and tears;
And he called his Fallid mother
Through the shadows to his side,
While his face was like vision
Oftbe faces glorified.
81 have had dream" he whispered,
"Just the strangest that could be-
That should die like papa,
Nell and all but you and me;
For | dreamed an angel Waterman,
With a mantle soft and white,
Walked through all the streets at midnigh t;
Mamma, will he come tonight 2"
Then the wan and weary mother
flushed her child to quiet sleep,
With solemn wonder dawning
OF the watch the angels keep
And she listened as one listens
To the music ola bell,
Through the rushing Of the river
To the Waterman cry, "All's well y
1t was morning, and the people,
In the hushed and reverent air
Bowed to earth in silent rapture
Touched the sign OF healing there;
Fer the Angel of the City
Over every threshold crossed,
With q silver vein of moonlight
And the footsteps of the frost.

PAY Up!-Pay up! If you have
money pass it along. Haul out the old
purse, and hand over the dollar; you
owe it; it is not yours; pay it Don't
know when you'll ever see another dol
lar? Well, perhaps you never ought to
see another till you learn what money is
made for, and cease to hoard it up But
whether you ever see another dollar or
not, this one is not yours, that is clear if
you owe it for an honest debt. Pass it
along, pay your debts and trust in God
to bring it back again in His own good
time Money is made to be used, and
and the way to use it is to pay your debts.
A few dollars used in good community
will pay the debts and leave everybody
clear, and with as much money as they
had at the beginning; few dollars
boarded makes everybody trouble, aud
does no one any good.

The Silver Handwriting.


After the coming Of Christ and tho
writing of the New Testament, the scribes
Gas those were called who copied books
admired the Christian sacred book so
much that they thought no amount of
time spent in copying anything so grand
could be wasted and they toiled year
after year, sometimes whole life long,
on single copy of the Scriptures.
Some of these copies were wonderfully
beautiful. They had strange bright lct-
tiers, in different colors, and curious pic
lures, the like of which no man had cv-
or seen; for each scribe used his own
fancy, and invented whatever adornment
pleased him.
Some Of these manuscripts are yet in
existence There is one Mt place called
Upsala, in Sweden, which is called "The
Silver Handwriting It was written
thirteen hundred years ago, but was lost
or hidden away for seven hundred years.
Then some ono found it, and, after it had
changed hands good many times, the
Chancellor Of Sweden bought it for eighty
pounds, and had it bound in solid silver,
after which he gave 1t to the University
of Upsala.
1t is written on crimson parchment. -
All its letters are Of the color Of silver,
except the headings Of the pages and
chapters, and few verses which were
thought by the writer to be the most
wonderful -these were written in gold
No wonder it was thought worthy Of
being bound in silver, and kept as II
great treasure which money could not
buy Cur book-maltcrs think they can
mako us very pretty books, and we often
see them bound in velvet, and adorned
with golden corners; but all this work
is done by machinery, and is not, after
all, half so beautiful as this "Silver
Handwriting done by one man who
loved the Bible, and wanted to make 9TH

Vital Statistics

DR.. J. NJ Tower, connected with the gov.
eminent educational bureau at Washing
ton. has devoted time and research to this
subject, and the result has been the elUci.
dation of some singular facts
In our country 10 !. demonstrated shat
there is a marked decline in the population
of manageable age who are living in we'd
lock. The census Of 1850 shows twenty
eight persons to have died i'll every 200G OF
the population, which mortality ten years
later is reduced 70 twenty five per 1000. a
law of nature. almos. uniform throughout
the world. produces q greater number OF
male than female births. The excess
ranges, in different countries and
az different periods, from one to twelve
in the hundred. The rate of excess in the
United States is about six to the hundred.
Among the eolored races this inequality is
frequently reversed, the female births be
ing in excess. This excess Of males does
not continue, or is not constant and uniform
through life. According to the census of
1870, up to fifteen years Of age the males
predominate from the ages of fifteen to
thirty-five there is predominance Of fe-
males; males then outnumber the other sex
up to the age of eighty; beyond that age fe
males again predominant. The peIcent-
age of births is much greater among
foreign parents than those native born,
showing that the native stock is less fruit
full than the former. OF the 1893 COG deaths
reported as having occurred in the United
States during the year ending June |. 1866,
l68, S52-nearly half-occurred under
five years of age, and nearly ore-fourth IN
der one year.
DR.. Tower advances no theories in the
pamphlet which he has promulgated. but
simply suggests that children care either
born with exceedingly feeble constitutions
or there is SON ething radically wrong in
the present mode OF rearing Them

has been arrived at in this investigation Is
