HOW THE BABY CAME.
BY NARY F. BRADLEY.

Inc lzdy moon came down isst night, She did you needn't dcxikt ft-- lovely izdy dressed fu white.
 I'll tel you al about it. They hurried Len and me to bed
 And 1snty said s.Nou may be That pretty moon up overhead
 VII 5xing us down a hassy. You lie as quiet as can be:
 Perhaps you viii catch her peefAng Betwsen the Efndov-bare. to see
 If all inc folks are sleefing. And fhsR, ff both of you keep sttu And all the room IS shady sheeT float across fha winaoN-sin, bonnie. white, moon lady Across the sfI, along the Scor,
 Youl see her shining brightly, GntiI she comes to mothers door, And then shsIi vanish lightly. But in the morning yea xin find, II nothing happens, maybe: She's Left us something uice behind A beautifsal star baby We didn't just believe he. then, For aunfy's always chasing; The tales she tells to me and Len Would make you die lzRphiag. And when she went out pretty soon, Len said, 'sThat's aunty'e hnmfning, There ain't . bit of lady moon, Nor sny baby eoming." thought, nyse,f, it was fb, And yet wasn't certain, So l kept quiet in tho crib,
 And peeIed behind the curtain. I didn't mean to sleep a wink; But al. without warning, dropped right oft-end, don't you think never walked till morning , Then there ras aunfy by my bed. And when I clined and kissed her, She laughed and said, .You sleepy head You've got little sister What made you shut your eyes co soons Tye half mind to scoli you Tor down she came, that lady moon, Exactly as told you r And, truly, it was no joke,
 h spite of Lens denying, For just the very time she spoke, We heard the baby crying. The way We jumped and made rush For mothers room, that minute But aunty stopped us, crying, Hush Or else you shan't go in it." And so we had to tip-toe in, And keep Rn awful quiet, As if it was a mighty sin
 To make bit of riot But there was baby, anyhow The funniest little midget just wish you could peep in now, And see her sqnirm and fidget. Len says he don't believe it's true tHe isn't snch gsby) The moon had anything to do With bringing us that baby. But seems to me it's very clear, As clear es running water Last night there WAS no baby here, So something must have brought her.

John w.

Mackey merits the thanks ot the people of this State for his liberal offer, after a very mean and short-sigh.cd legislature had refused to make any appropriation whatever, and in their lgnoranae of the value af moral fbrpes even turned the subject into ridicule.- IS.

The penetrating winds incident
to this season of the year are a
severe ordeal for the lungs. The
neglect of hard cough generally
leads to weakness OF the lungs,
which, not infrequently, results in
consumption.
Schenck's Pulmontic Syrup will
at once relieve and loosen tight
cough and is such an agreeable
remedy that children will take it
without being coaxed. A cold
on the lungs, if consumption is not
already developed, may be easily
mastered by the use of the Pull
monte Syrup, together with
Schenck's Mandrake Pills to clear
the system of the accumulated
mucus.
In more serious cases, where the
disease has become deeply seated,
and the patient suffers from loss of
appetite, weakness and emaciation,
Scoenck's Sea Weed Tonic should
be used in connection with the above
mentioned remedies, to stimulate
the appetite and bring the diges-
tive powers into healthy action,
thereby sustaining the strength of
the patient and enabling him to
resist the progress of the disease
until the Pnlmonic Syrup may
perform it's healing and cleaning
work.
The use of these standard reme-
dies according to the directions
which accompany them, cannot
fail to produce most satisfactory
results. A letter addressed to DR..
SchenclS cor. Sixth and Arch St.,
Philadelphia, asking advice, will
promptly receive the Doctors per-
sonal attention, free of charge.
Schenck's Medicines are for sale

War News +!
Special Correspondence from, the
Seat Of Var.
MIR. CLIPPERS, Correspondent.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-It is
officially announced that the Turks
began the evacuation of Erzeroum
on the 18th inst.
The Golos states that the Rus
SLAMS entered Rustchuck on the
Goth.
London, Feb. 24.-The fresh con-
ditions demanded by Russia place
the proposed boundaries of the new
province of Bulgaria, so as to in
clude the country between the
Danube and the Balkans, and a
portion of Roumeiia between the
Black Sea and Servia, comprising
Sofia and Phillippolis and the great
er part of Thrace and Macedonia,
and the whole valley of the Mar
litza except Adrianople. Bulgaria
Is to pay tribute to Turkey equal
to the revenue of the Province. A
Russian commission is to superin-
tend the Bulgarian Government
for two years, and $4,000 Russian
troops are to occupy the principal
ity during the same period. The
conditions provide for the cession
Of large tracts Of land to Servia
and Montenegro; prohibition Of
the passage through the straits to
men Of war, except in isolated
cases; absolute passage of mer-
chant men even in time of war;
payment Of an indemnity of four
teen hundred millions of roubles,
to cover which Turkey Is to cede
Batoum, Kars, Bayazid, Arabian,
and adjacent territorities, Turkey
also to pay forty millions stesliag
In bonds, interest and sinking fund,
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1878-03-06

which is to be guaranteed by the
Bulgarian and Egyptian tributes,
the annexation revenue and Hera-
clea mines, ten million roubles to
be paid Immediately to indemnify
the Russian residents of Constan-
tinople Turkey to reimburse Rus
sian capital invested in Turkish
lands; also to pay for the mainten-
ance of prisoners of war, and the
reopening of the Sulina mouth of
the Danube.
London, Feb. ga dispatch
from Pera says Russian officers and
soldiers are forbidden under pen
atty of death to enter Constantine
pie without special permission from
the Russian headquarters. Bar
racks just outside of Constantine
pie are being prepared for the Rus
sian sick, who can find no other
cover.
Bucharest, Feb. 26.-The rail-
way administration of Jassy has
been ordered to suspend the goods
traffic so that the passage of Rus
sian troops shall not be impeded.
London, Feb. 26.-The reason
Russia's demand for the Egyptian
tribute concerns England is that
the tribute is already pledged as
security for interest on the Turk
ish loans of 1854 and 1855 and
1871. The first of these was raised
to carry on the Crimean war, and
the second is guaranteed by Eng
land and France. All are largely
held in England. BY the terms of
an agreement between Turkey and
the British Government and bond
holders, Egypt now pays tribute
directly to the bank of England.
The Russian proposals will abro-
gate this convention, without con-
sulting or indemnifying the bene-
fetal assinees, and make the Eng
lish and French Governments liza
bic for the 1855 loan.
London, Feb. PA dispatch
from Vienna states that the Austrian
railways have received preliminary
orders to prepare for the con-
veyance of troops, and officer on
furlough have been ordered to
rejoin their regiments.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 2S.-The |
Golos calls for the occupation of
the Dardanelles by Russia.
The Gazette de st. Petersburg
considers immediate war with
England preferable to concessions.
Roumapia still protests against
Russia's conduct.
Austria is undecided. The Hun
garians are in favor of armed in
but the German part of
the population desire peace on any
terms. Austria's indecision APP
pears to be owing to a bride con-
sisting of large part of European
Turkey, provided she will not in
terfere with Russia's plans.
England is making large war pre-
and war between Rus
sia and England is not at all i'm
probable. ~,
In the meantime Turkey is in
the clutches of Russia bear with
the prospect of getting picked to
pieces.
