THE FAMILY ALBUM.

There is sort of delirious joy in
looking over family album, especially |
if it is very old album with sprained |
back, which occasionally and unexpect-
edly drops through your fingers, leaving
a couple Of cousins in one hand, and
three aunts in the other. and the balance
of the family under the chair. The first
picture is of an old gentleman with an
expression of weary cautiousness in his
face as if he was engaged in lodging a
wild bull, and was somewhat doubtful
of the result Opposite him is the grand
mother, patient looking lady in a black
dress, with book in one hand and a
pair of spectacles in the other There Is
a feeble but well-meaning effort to look
! safe in her face. On the next leaf Is
middle aged man looking as if he had
been suddenly shot through the roof of
starch factory, and had landed in the
middle of strange country. Opposite
is the picture of his wife, who, having
heard a rumor of the catastrophe, has
uIado up hvr mind to bv PrvP~aoa for
the worst. Then follow the children
little girls looking so prim as to make
YOU squirm, and little boys with their
eyes on their noses, and with an express
sion on their face of unearthly solemnity-
Then follow uneles, taken in their over
coats, with a spreading inclination In
their clothes, hair and face, as if they
were bound to get their money Is worth ;
and aunts with warts on their noses, and
varnish in their hair, and preposterous
lace collars about their neeks. Then
there is the bashful young man penned
opposite an aggressive young lady, whom
heaven and some married woman have
designed for each other. There are also
the pictures of cousin Aleck and hi;
young wife, who stopped here when OIL
their tour, and no young man looks a
him without retiring at once and regis
tering terrible VOW never to get mar
ried. Besides these is the picture of th'
man who lived next door for eight years
at the end of which time his wife died
and he moved to Illinois with the chill
dren, and is now worth some fifty thou
;, sand dollars He has been photograph
ed in his hat, which is one size too larg
for him, and which gives him an appear
ance of having murdered his aunt an
concealed the body. Then there are tw
or three fine looking corsairs of no pai
ticular identity, and several broken spii
tied women with babies in their arms
directly or indirectly related to the Owl
= ers of the albums and the exhibitio

A COOP SToRY.-The Woodstock age
is responsible for good story, of which
the principal characters are ]. w. Pierce,
ESQ.,, of Springfield, and a Democratic
artist at Woodstock, and girl who went
to Woodstock to work for the artist.
The girl, supposing her employer to be
radical republican, and wishing to
win his favor, said, in conversation about
her late employer: ''Mr. Pierce is a nice
man in his family-none better-would
not ask for nicer man to work for or
to live with but ! don't like his poll

and, to cap the climax, he was preach

stood by him and seed him through the

he gathered up his own family, and the
Lord shut him in. and the heavens of

"But, my brethren, Noer-ah had use
for patience after this-ah. Think what

my brethren-ah, as the mater of the ami

ark-ah, some of 'em would roar. and
howl, and bark, and bray, and squeal,
and blat the whole endurin' night-ah,
