Baby.

BABY, baby. on my breast,
Ony little one, steep soundi
While the red clouds warm the west.
And the bright leaves light the ground
Mothers love is round You here;
Gods love, too, is close and near;
Full and happy be thy rest,
Baby, baby, on my breasti
Baby. baby, at my knee,
Lift your eyes up, let them show
All the dreams 1 can not see;
Talk and tell me, make me know
How the worlds dim puzzles seem
To your souls pure waking dream.
Bring your marbles all to me,
Baby, baby, at my knee,
Baby, baby. at my side,
All, your cheek just reaches mine,
So, time will not be denied;
Glossy braids are smooth and fine,
And read within your eyes
Womanhood's fair mysteries.
Baby. baby. at my side.
Tall enough to be bridei
Baby, baby, far from me.
Lines of care have crossed your brow,
Little children climb your knee,
Fill your heart and household now.
Mother" Is my baby's name.
Yet to me, she's still the same;
sttl the child 1 rocked to rest
As baby on my breasti

By draining Lake Fucino, in the Apen-
mines. about so miles southeast of Rome,
and some 1900 feet above the sea, P. ince
Torlonia has added IS, 900 acres to his
rent roll. An expenditure of $1O,O0O,-
600 and labor which has extended over
"a years have sufficed for the making of
a tunnel and the erection of other works,
and the lake is now only small catch
ment basin, which effectually drains the
surrounding district, leaving about 3d.
600 acres of the finest arabic land,
on which the husbandman can exercise
his skill without fear of an inundation
sweeping his homestead and his farm
into irretrievable ruin. The drainage
of Lake Fucino will henceforth take its
place as one of the wonders of the world,
and it is to be hoped that Prince Tor
lonia may long live to enjoy the fruits
of his enterprise and perseverance.

EVERY body has heard of the Shen-
andoah, the notorious privateer of the
Southerners of the American civil war :;
but do not suppose that many know
what was the ultimate fate of the ship
when the war ended. OF all places in
the world, she now lies " fathoms deep"
off the Island of Socotra, in Arabian
Gulf. Her story is strange one. She
was busy burning whalers in Behring
Straits, when Waddell, her com
mander, heard of the col
lapse of the South. His occupation be-
ing gone, he ran the Shenandoah to
Liverpool, and Immediately surrendered
her to her Msjesty's ship Donegal, in
the Mersey. She was handed over to
the American Consul, and afterward
bought at auction by Nicol, Fleming &
Goa firm that has earned a not oriety
in connection with the City of Glasgow
Bank-for the Sultan of Zanzibar. At
ter remaining idly at Zanzibar for some
years, she was sent to Bombay for re-
pairs, but foundered off Socotra, all
hands being lost except one English
man and few Lascars.---London World.

AS an illustration of the audacity of
the revolutionists in st. Petersburg, it
is reported that one night recently Sc
ditious placards were posted at the en-
frances of the theatres and on the corners
of the principal streets. As fast as the
police tore these down they were re-
placed, and at length soldiers were call
ed out to assist in removing the Often
sive papers and capturing the bill-stick-
ers. But the placards continued to ap-
pear, and though $50 persons were
seized, nothing could be found to iden-
tify any of them with the disturbance.

The proprietor Of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for 1t 9 superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or ChiIls and Fever, wheth-
or Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure II
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for . cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. It il,
however, prudent, and in every case more Ger
tain to cure, II its useis continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult an
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels In
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic. single dose Of

be sufficient.

thorough ventilation in cold weather in
wolves an increased consumption of
fuel. The most effectual method of
saving fuel would be to use sheet-iron
stoves and calked doors and windows,
but such saving would probably result
in an increased expenditure for doctors
bills. Even where well constructed
furnaces are used, in connection
with open fire-places or ventila-
tors the daily admission of fresh
air is important, but without such
advantages, is still more imperative.
In order to secure an inodorous home,
it is necessary that every part of the
house be kept well aired. Few women
are so far behind the age as to neglect
the daily airing of their beds and bed
rooms. The kitchen is more likely to
be neglected, on account of the imprac-
ticability of having it vacated for suf-
ficient length of time. In such case
much may be effected Especially at this
season of milder weather) by leaving
the windows open for an inch or two at
the time of the day when the greater
part of the cooking is done. Besides
this, it is necessary to correct every
source of stenc h, such as offensive water
closets, INSTRUCTED drains, old and I'M

not be better to abandon house plants,

Vamos, segun nuestra costumbre,
4 hacer un ligero extracto de la Esta-
dfstica del Comercao Exterior de Puer-
to-Rsco correspondence al a1lo natu-
raj de 1878, que nos ha remitldo la
Intendencia.
Ell valor de las exportaciones as
cendio en- 1878 q 5 1888, ,982,
resultando un aumento con fespec-
Z to al ano n de SABA, y el de las
exportaciones a $l3.129,92 notan-
dose una alza de 2.668.968. Cree
mos que Sc lie han calculado precios
excesivos a los trutos del pals, pues:
81 no nos equivocamos, en- la Esta-
distica de referencia Sc ha valorado ell
azdcar 4 $3.50 el quintal y a $3.50
ell cafe, con 10 que no es milagro
que Sc note equilibrada la importa-
cion con la exportacion, y aun que
en- 6sta figure un aumento de mas de
dos millones y medic de pesos. Esos
tipos, como precios medios, no los
alcanzaron ell azdcar y ell cafe en-
1878, como puede verse por las Re-
vistas comerciales que durante ell
mismo Sc han publicado. Riglen-
dose ia Importation por los precios
en- general fabulosos del Arancel, y
la exportacion por los preclos maxi
mos que, por 20 visto, Sc marcan, no
es de extranar que en- los estados
que yenimos examinando aparezca
la isla mucho mas prospera de 10
que realmente esta.
Sin embargo, por Ell estado nd-
nero vemos que hubo en- 1878 al
gun aumento en- la production de
azdcar y cafe, segun Sc. desprende
del siguiente extracto:
