THE FIRST BABY.
My old school-fellow, Mary Thornly, had been
married nearly two years, when I mude my first
call on her In the capacity of a mother.
Did you ever see such a darling?' she exclaim
ed, tossing an infant up and down in her arms.
'There baby, that's ma's old friend Jane. He
knows you already, I declare,' said the delighted
parent, as it smiled at a bright ring which 1 held up
to it 'yon never saw such a quick child. No'
tice what pretty little feet he has, the darling
footsy-toutsies,' and taking both feet in one hand,
the mother fondly kissed them.
It certainly is very pretty," said I, trying to be
polite, though 1 could not perceive that the in
fant was more beautiful Iban a donen others I
had seen. Ml has vour eyes exactly, Mary.'
Yes. and dada' mouth and chin,' said my friend,
apostrophising the child, 'hasn't it, precious?' and
she almost smothered I he child with kisses.
As I walked slowly homeward, I said to myself,
I wonder if when I marry, I shall ver be so
foolish. Mary used to be a sensible girl." In a
fortnight afterwards I called on my friend Dgain.
How baby grows.' sbe said, don't you sec it?
I never knew a child grow so fast. Grandma say
she never stw a child so heallhy
To me it seemed that the baby had not grown an
inch; snd to avoid the contradiction, I changed
the Ihoiae But m a moment the doling mother
was back to her infant again.
'1 do believe ils beginning to'cut its teeth,' she
said, putting her linger in the little one's mouth.
Just feel how hard the gums arc there, surely that
is a tootn coming through. Grandmother will be
here to-day, ml I'll ask her if it isn't so.
I laughed as I replied, 'I am enlirely Ignorant
of such matters, but your child really is a very
tine one ',,'..'
'Oh yes, every body says that. Prelty, pretty
dear.' Aid she tossed it up and down until I
thought the child would have been shaken to
p'eces t but the liltle creature seemed to like the
process very much. 'Is it crowing at its mother?
its laughing is it ? Tinny-ninny, little dear, What
a sweet piedous His.' And she finished by al
most devouring it with kisses.
When I next called, baby was still further ad'
vanced.
'Only think,' said my friend, when I had made
my way t the nursery, where she now kept her
self from morning to night, 'baby begins to eat
1 gave it a piece of meal to day a bit of really
broiled beet steak.' 1
What I' said I in my Ignorance, for this did look
wonderful, 'Ihe child eating beef steak already?1
'Oh,' laughed my friend, seeing my mistake.
'what a dunce you are Jane. But wail until you
have babies of your own. She says you eat beef
steak, darling,' added Ihe proud mother, addressing
the infant, 'wIipii you only suck Ihe juice. You
don't want to choke yourself, do youlaby? Eat
a beefsteak! It's funny, baby, isn't it?' And
again she laughed laughing all the more, because
the child sympathetically crowed in return.
It was not many weeks before the 'long expected
teelh appeared.
'J -nc, Jane, the baby has got three teeth,' trium
phantly cried the mother, as I entered the nursery,
'Three teeth, and be isn't nine months old. Did
you ever hear the like of that?'
I confessed that I had not, The whole thin;
fad was out of my range of knowledge. 1 knew
all about Dante in Ihe original, and a dozen other
lady aoomplUhments, but nothing about babies
teething.
'Jus. look at the little pearls,' exclaimed my
friend, as she opened the child's mouth, 'are they
not beautiful ? . You never saw anylhing so pretty
confess that you never did. Precious little dar.
ng -
But the crowning mirado of all was, when baby
could walk, i Its learning to creep had been duly
heralded to me. But when it really walked alone,
the important fact was announced to ma in a note,
for she could not wait till I called.
'.Stand Hiere,' the said to me, In an exulting
voice, 'no, stoop, I mean, how can you be soslu
piü.' And as 1 obeyed, she look her station about
a yard off, holding the little one by either arm,
'Now see him,' , she cried, as he toihiled to
wards pie, anil finally succeeded in gaining my
arms though once ur twice I fancied hi would
Ml, a contingency from which he w.is protected.
however, by his mother holding her hands on either
side of him an inch or two olf. 'There, did you
ever see anything so extraordinary? He's not
year old, either.' ' ' , -
By this lime I began to be considerably interested
in the baby myself, He had learned to know me.
and would begin to crow whenever I entered )b
nursery j and I wus therefore almost as delighted
as niy friend, when for IheJirst time he pronounced
my name, . . . ......
'Djanei Djane,' he said. ' ' '.' ',
His mother almost devoured him with kisses
in retiira for this wonderful triumph of the vocal
organs) but when she had done, I in turn smoolh
ered him with caresses. ' , .
1 1 never after that smiled, even to myself,' at the
extravagance of my friend's affection for her baby.
The little love had twined himself around my own
heart strings, and how could If
And now that I am a mother myself, I feel less
inclination to laugh, as others may do, over that
mystery of mysteries, a mother's love for her
baby. ' ' ' '
From tht student.
THE CHILD'S FAIRY DREAM.
On a mossy bank there lay,
Wearied with bis. boyish play,
A sweet child whose ringlets fair,
Playthings for the aephyri were.
At his feet his hoop was laid,
When he sought the beech-tree's shade,
And the brooklet murmuring by,
Lulled him with its minstrelsy.
Soft his check the mosses pressed
Roses wild lay on his breast,
That he'd gathered in his glee,
Rambling o'er the flowery lea. ' 1
Drooped a small hand by hit side,
Where violet sought to
Once his brow was overcast,
Where a gleam of sunshine passed.
'Twas a sight most sweet and fair,
As of angel slumbering there,
Who had left hjs wings above.
And was dreaming deeds of love,
Lulled by music, cheered by song,
Resting now the flowers among.
Spirits leaned above the child
In its sleep it sweetly smiled. ' ,
For that sleeper, lowly brook ...
Danced more silvery to its noos (
And an orchard ariole ' '
Through the bcech-leave gently stole.
Down he hopped from spray to spray.
Till he itood o'er where he lay
, Looked askance, then smoothed his trest,
And a song gushed from his breast.
But tht sleeper waked not. lit -Played
with dream-land phantasy.
. Furies ltd liiin o'er a green, , . '
To a throna where sat their queen,
And a radiant rainbow bright i
Sparkled ill the silvery light , . ,
While a wpb of gossamer j J
Held the diamond dew-drops then.
And Ihe fays from flower and shell,
Wove their muiic to a spell,
By whose power in white asá grten,
Other fairies danced I ween,
Some on butterflies would ride;
Some the dragon-fly bestride
Sume hule in the butler-cup, ;
Where the bees draw honey up.
Then a silt tinkling stolt ,.i
Like the no .i of oriole.
Instant every fay upsprings,
" Circle round their queen in rings
Blue-bell, rose, anemone,
Honey-suckle, home of bet,
Butterfly and acorn-cup, .
Yield their gleesome fairies up.
Then the queen (thus dreamed the child)
Took his hand and sweetly smiled
'Have my says, in earth or air,
' Ever met with aught so fair 1
I went forth this morn to see
Who the kindest child might be,
This 1 found and heard him pray,
'Fa'iher keep me through the diy.'
'When, soon after, 1 was near,
He kissed oil- his sister's tear
Gave a way-worn beggar food
All tht day was kind and good.
What reward to him shall be,
Sleeping now benoeth our tree?"
Blushing stood the liit'mng boy, . p
But his heart o'erflowed with joy , . ,
'I., said one, will near him stay,
And drive -naughty thoughts away.' ,,
Said another '1 will be
Round him with soft minstrelsy.',
'Dreams of beauty 1 beslow.' ..t
'Flowers shall spring where he may gó.'
'1 will fill his heart with'bliss.'
'1 shall love him 1 grant this,'
Then'the boy awoke, upspringing ' ,
' While the oriole was slnjing i
Rubbed his eyes,- and wondered why
:'' Grass was peen, and blue Ihe sky
Grasped his hoop, and shook his curls,
' Running where the brooklet purls,
' Saying as he leaped the stream, " ,;
"'4 have had a pleasant dream."
A YANKLE DINING AT A MOD
... , ERN HOTEL. , , , ,
.. Some weeks ago, a very long, brown
Down-Easter, attired in one of those
costumes Which re no where to bo met
with except on the stage, a tnjl,. bell
ci owned, white hat, fltort-waisled blue
coat, vith enormous pewter buttons,
a vest aj "yaller as a barberry blossom,
and a pair of corduroys whoso highest
ambition seemed to be to maintain their
ascendency over- a pair of enormous
cowhides that had trodden many a hun
dred miles of logncring-paths, "might
have been seen," jacknifo and shingle j
in hand, wending his way up Long
Wharf, in the realization of his life:long
anticipations of "seem Bosting. At
the coiner of Merchant's Row, his pro
gress was arrested by the lumbering
trnnsitofa two-story houso on wheels,
drawn by half a dozen yoke of oxen,
with the people inside pursuing their
usual avocations. '
"What on airth'is that Vre?" he ask
ed of a bystander.
"O, nothing," replied the 'tovvney '
the folks are only moving, (hat's all.
When we move down here we do it,
house and oil."
"MUsaleml Wall! that beats all ua-
tur. Wat, captins, what's that ere big
stun house over the left?"
"That's the new custom-house., It's
a mighty bad location, but they're go
ing to move it next week."
"Thunder and molasses! It'll take
all the oxen in creation to start her 1"
"0, they use elephants for' moving
such buildings." , '
"And how many elephants will it
take?" 1 ' ' '
"Upwards of a hundred."
The Yankee cut a deep gash in his
shingle and walked on.' ' '"' "
He next inquited for the Adum
House, for he had "heern toll" of that,
and was determined to progress during
his juvenility, aware of the impossibility
of doing soat an advanced age. ' " 1
He soon found the "tavern" and the
"deacon," and ordered accommodations,
literally "darning the expense." 1 Hav
ing "slicked up" a little, he witnessed
with Soma amazement the nppMtinnt nf
a servant on a gong, simply remarking
that he "know'd what sheet ligh'.nin'
was, but this was the first time he'd ev
er heern of sheet thitnder." 1 He fol
lowed the crowd in the dining hall, and
was ushered to a scat, where hé en
sconced himself, tucking his towel tin
der his chin with a sort of desperation,
as if he were going to be shaved or
scalped. ' ' '' : " '
The sight of the covered dishes ad
ded to his amazement. "Doddern itl"
ho exclaimed, "ef I ever heern of cook
in' on the table! but here they've gone
and sot tin kitchens all over tie lot.
Whar's the firo to come from that's
what I'd like to know ?" !
lie got along 'with the soup very well,
and was pausing for breath, before he
finished it, when a wattersnatched his
plate away and was running off with it.
"Hello, you, sir! vociferated the Yan
kee, "I see you. Fetch that 'ere back
quickcr'n lightnin' or else you'll hev
your head punched."
His plate was returned and he finish
ed his soup with dignity. t ',
After waiting a moment he raised his
voice again, and summoned tlio offend
ing waiter sternly. , . , .
'Kalkelate to starve me ?' .'
'No, sir.' . ; . . .-
'Will why do'nt you fetch some fresh

meaning. , , ' ,

'In the castor, is it they ?' soliloqui
