A Famllk Album.

There is sort Of delirious ioy in locking
over family album, especially If it is a
very old album, with a sprained back, which
occasionally and unexpectedly drops
through your fingers, leaving couple of
cousins in one hand, and three aunts in the
other, and the balance of the family und Or
the chair. The first picture is that Of an old
gentleman, with an expression of wary
oautousness in his face, as if he was engae-
ed IN lodging n wild bull, and was
uonottul OF the result. Opposite him is the
grandmother, patient-looking lady In a
ulach aress, with book in one hand and a
par OF spectaoles III the other. There is a
feeble but well-meaning effort TO look safe
III her lace. Tn the next leaf is middle
aged man, looking as if he had been sudden.
" shot through the roof of starch factory,
ana had landed in the middle of a strange
country. Opposite is the picture of his
WiIe' who, having heard rumor Of the ca
tastrophe, has made up her mind to be pre-
pared for the worst Then follow the chill.
uren-ilttle girls looking so prim as to make
you.squirm, and little boys with their ewes
turned ON their noses, and with an express
sion on their faces of unearthly solemnity.
linen follow uncles, taken in their over
coals, with a spreading inclination in their
clothes, hair and face, as if they were
bound to get their moneys worth; and
aunts will warts on their faces, and varnish
IN their hair, and preposterous lace collars
about their nscks. Then there is the bash
ful young man penned opposite an aggres-
sive young lady, whom haven and some
married woman have designed for each
other. There are also pictures of Aleok
and his young wife, who stopped here when
ON their tour, and no young man looks at
him without retiring at once and register
ing terrible vow never to get married.
Besides these is the picture of the man who
lived next door for eight years, at the end
OF which time his wife died. and he moved
to Illinois with his children, and is now
worth $4,000 He has been photographed
in his hat, which is one size too large for
hum, and which gives him an appearance of
having murdered his aunt and concealed the
body. Then there are two or three fine
looking corsaires of no particular. identity,
and several broken-spirited women with
babies in their arms-directly or indirectly
related to the owners of the album-and the
exhibition closes.--Ddaburg Neaos.
