MR. BLIFKIfV'K BABY. As soon ag be came into this ?breathine world, us the late W. Shakspere ha? it. he took command in our house. Everything was sub whIL^k ^ h,m, The babvw.is the balance* 7hTT regulated everything.

Nothing was the mat ter with the window, as I knew very well. Mr. Llifkins, said my wife, just as I was going to sleep again. " that lamp, as you have placed it shines directly in baby's eyes strange that you have no more consideration." 1 arranged the light and went to bed a^ain *8 I,.Wa*.droPPiB8 10 slceP ag?n. "Mr. Liifkins.?? said my wife, " did you think to ouy that broin.i to-day for the babv ?" " My dear, said I, " will you do me the injustice to believe for a moment that I could overlook a matter so essential to the comfort of that ines timable baby ' She apologized very hand somely. but made her anxiety the scape goat. 1 forgave her, i.nd without saying a word more im-S?m aJdrcsse^. myself to sleep. " Mr. l>iitkiu, said my wife, shaking uin, "you must not snore so; you will wake the baby." "Just so," said I. halt asleep, thinking I was feolon Shingle " Mr Mifkins, said my wife, will you get up and hand me the warm gruel from the nurse lamp, for baby ??the dear child, it it wasn t lor its mother. 1 dou't know what it would do! llow can you sleep so.

Having aided in answering the baby's re quirements, 1 stepped into bed again, with the hope of sleeping. "Mr. iilitkins," said my wife. I made no answer. "Mr. Ulifkins, ' said that estimable woman, in great apparent anguish, how can a man, who has arrived at tbo honor of having a live baby of his own. sleep, when he don't kuow that the dear crea ture will live till morning'' I remained silent, and after a while, deeming that Mis Iilifkins h*d gone to sleep. 1 stretched my limbs for re pose. How long I slept, I don't know; but I was awakened by a furious job in the forehead by some .-harp instument. I started up, and Mrs. Llifkins was sitting up in the bed. adjust ing some portion of the baby's dress. She had, in a state of semi-somnolence, mistaken iny head for the pillow, which she customarily used tor a pin cushion. I protested against such treatment, in rather warm language. pointing to several perforations in my forehead. She told me I should willingly Lear such trilling things for the baby. I insisted upon it that 1 didn t think my duty as a parent to that voung immortal required the surrender of my head for a pin cushion. This was one of the manv nights passed in this way. The truth was. that baby was what every other man's first baby is ? an autocrat?absoluto and unlimited. Such was the story of Iilifkins, as he related it the other day. It is a little-exaggerated picture of almost every mau's experience.

When they were within about a mile and a half of that point they were compelled lo leave their carriage aMJ take to a boat, into which they stepped with two gentlemen, who were there waiting to be carried over. They had rowed some distance, when a dog. which was swimming alongside, put his paws upon the >ide id the luat, upsetting it and precipi tating it# occupants into about ten feet water.

The only injury Mrs. IJ. sustained was the chafing of her arm?, in holding to tbo tree, and severe cold. After the gentleman had se cured his footing in the tree, he found he had a necklace in the shape of a rattlesnake. He succeeded in releasing himself lrom his dan gerous companion without injury. Ouc of the gentlemen lost his wallet, con taining over $100 in money, besides valuable papers. What "Pom." ootcor Tki.lim; a Lib ? Mr Parker Tilton, says the Newburvport Herald, who resides in the lower part ol the city, has had a very intelligent but roguish parrot resi ding in his family for the past fifteen years. The bird has always been allowed the privilege of the yard, and frequently would stray into the adjoining fields. The parrot had been tiught to keep a watch upon the crows that visited the corn field of Mr Tilton to pick up his corn, which information he had frequently imparted. On Thursday last, "Poll" took her usual stroll, and this time concluded to deceive her master, whereupon she vociferated as had been her custom, "Crows in the cornfield." Mr Tilton, hearing the voice of his sentinel, crept softly up to the enclosure, and levelling his gun in the direction of the rustling corn.dis charged the contents. on arriving at the sjx?t, to pick up the slaughtered depredators of h'.s crop, to his great surprise he found only the mangled remains ol his favorite parrot.
