No baby in the house / know,

No toys by careless dOgers strewn,
Upon the door are seem
No finger marks are on the panes,
No scratches on the chairs;
No wooden mon set up In rows,
Or marshalled on in pairs;
No little stockings TO be darned,
All ragged at the toes;
No little troubles to be soothed,
No little hands to fold;
No growing fingers TO be washed,
No stories TO be told ..
No tender kisses to be given,
No nicknames, "Davie," "Mouse :
No merry frolics after tea
No baby ia the house. -

She was afraid TO tempt the fates
Because she wObbled so. .I....

But Chawley went the other way
Because his legs went wrong

New York city.

In 177l the population Of the city
of New York was little over 2lF
900; and in 1856, three years after
the close of the Revolutionary war,
it had 23,6l4 inhabitants. The
several censuses taken during the
past 100 years, exhibit the marvel.
lousy rapid strides which New
York has made toward her present
imperial position. In 1870, how.

EPITAPHs.

EPlTAFHS.
ON TEMPERANCE MAN.
A noted temperance man lies hero,
The green turf DER his head,
No man e'er saw him on his bier
Till after he was dead.
ON AN AMATEUR ANGLER.
He angled in many purling brook,
But lacked the anglers skill;
He lied about the fish he took,
And here he's lying still.
ON AN ACTOR.
Ambitions part he oft essayed,
But never won renOwn.
And in the last great act he played
Death rung the curtain down.
For fame he lODeed; 1t kept afar,
And life vas full of jars;
But If he failed to be star,
He's now above the stars.
ON "A POLICEMAN.
Pause, stranger, pause. and drop a tear.
To pass would be poor way
To show respect-a cop lies here
Instead OF in doorway.
ON AN HONEST BAKER.
No bread he needs, he kneads no dough,
He sleeps the sleep that knows no waking;
He did much baking here below:
But now he's gone where there's no baking.
ON HOO CARRIER.
Here lies a hod carrier under the sod;
He's happy, there's no doubt of that;
He carried in life many bricks in his hod,
But never brick in his hat.
oNA DUDE.
Go. stranger; go to yonder mound
And griefs sad tribute pay there;
''Ah! there, he to the girls would say,
When living, in giggling way;
30 when we placed him meath the ground,
We murmured softly, "Stay there"

Jabez Lafayette Monroe Curry.
Our New Minister to Spain.

Our New Minister to Spain.
President Cleveland has appointed res
ident of Richmond, Virginia, Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to
Spain. Mr.. Curry, the appointee, of whom
faithful portrait accompanies this sketch,
was born in the year 1926, in Lincoln county,
Georgia. Jabez was thirteensyears of age
when his father removed into the State Of
Alabama, where the boy received his prepar-
atory education. His academical studies
we're continued at the University of Georgia,
at which he was graduated. In 1845 Mr..
Curry received diploma from the Law
School, Harvard, Massachusetts. He then
returned to Alabama. where he was admitted
to the bar, and opened an office for the prac-
tice of his profession. When, in 1876, the
South was full of the war fever, the young
lawyer joined the Texas Rangers, with the
view of engaging in the Mexican war, but
i'll health put an end to his expectations in
this regard and he returned home to the
perusal of volumes bound in sheepskin.
In the course of the next year, however,
he was sent to the Alabama Legislature, Of
which he continued to be a member until
1856. He was Buchanan Elector in 1856.
In 1857 he was elected to the House of Rep
resentatives, in which he retained his seat
until January q, 1861, when he resigned it
in order to give his support to the secession
cause. In this capacity he figured as a dep
uty from his State to the Provisional Con-
federate Congress, subsequently as Con-
federate Congressman, and afterward as the
Lieutenant Colonel of cavalry regiment
in the Southern army. After the war Mr..
Curry was pastor of Baptist church for a
time. He is at present President of the
Board of Foreign Missions of the Southern
Baptist Convention. His outspoken Prot
estantism has provoked Catholic opposition
in the city of his residence to his appoint
ment as the chief representative of our gov
ernment in one of the most intensely Cath
olic countries of Europe. Similar opposi-
ton has been exhibited in some other CEN
tres, but with this exception the appoint
ment is generally considered good one.
In 1865 Mr.. Curry was chosen President
of Howard College, alabama, and in 1868
a Professor in Richmond College, Virginia,
position he still holds. He is general
agent OF the Peabody education fund, and
has shown rare zeal and judgment in the
management of this important trust. He
has cultured mind, superior business abil-
ity, and his attainments as linguist in
clude knowledge of the Castilian tongue.

Powdered Crab as a Medicine.

A Russian paper says: During
the last fifteen years the inhabitants
of a malarial locality in Khaakoo
Government in Russia have used
the crab powder with great success
against the fevers. The powder is
prepared in the following way:
Live crabs are poured over with
the ordinary whiskey until they
get asleep, then they are put on a
bread pan in hot oven, thoroughly
dried and pulverized, and the
powder passed through a fine sieve.
One dose, a teaspoenful, is gener-
ally sufficient to cure the inter
mittent fever; in very obstinate
