TIIF FIRST BABY
fn a novel, recently publit-Lcd occurs the
folluwirtg striking picture of domestic felicity,
which old bachelors will read with interest r
ll ‘ the baby was asleep no one was allow
ed to S|cak except in a whisper, on pain of
instant banishment ; the piano was closed,
the guit-r was tabooed, boots were interdicted,
and life bell was muffled. If Mr. VincAnt
wished to enjoy a quiet cigar he must go out
of the botis,e, lest the smoke might hurt ‘‘the
baby” and hst the street door might disiuib its
slumbers, he must make bis exit by the gul
den gate. Ttie doctor was hardly ever out of
the house, not because “the baby” was HI, but
because She was afraid it might be taken with
some dreadful disease and no doctor near.’ If
coal was to be placed in the grate, Mr.Vincent
was to put it in lump by lump, with his ling
ers, or Thomas must come in on tiptoe, leaving
his boots below, lest the noise should disturb
• the baby.’’ Air Vincent must lie in one po

And yet surely lie must not take a bed in no- j

might he attacked with the cro'jjr, or iwiohi
cry to have some jine WitJkjia and down Tire
floor with it in their “arms, amhllren he would
not lie within call. In short, when “the ba
by” slept, (lie whole bouse was und r a spell
whose enchantment consisted in a profound
silence and unbroken stillness, laying all un
der its influence. On the other hand, when
“the baby” was awake the household was
equally tu'iject to tyranny, which seemed to
be a condition of its existence.

A com-gpondent of London ‘rimes,’

lowing facts :
Work commenced every morning at 7 o’-
clock, and continued till il at night—a peri
od of sixteen hours, the intervals allowed bei
mg about ten minutes for each meal—the to
tal amount of time allowaj for—eating their
food, I was going to sav, but surely “baling”
is the more appropriate phrase—being forty
i ttjgnUes a day; thus leaving fifteen hours and
twenty minutes as the p’e tod devoted to work,
i And this, this, be il lemkmhercd, is not mere
ly the business season, but for all the year
round, Irom January to December, The on.
I v day oi leisure which the girls of this estab
lishment have is Sunday. From Monday
morning to Saturday night, they are as com
plete pi burners as any in Newgate, They
know not whether the sun shines or the r..in
lulls at that time. Ttioy are not not allowed
•veil to purchase a pair of shoes or a
tpiwtt for themselves, and must employ their
‘ friends outside to do this for them.
Nor is the accomodation in-doors sack as
in any way to reconcile them to this dose
confinement. The work-room', in which te t
or twelve of them are employed, is only about
12 feet square, ail'd entirely devoid of arrange
ments In ventilation, which is the more to be
depitH^^asduring the evening they have to

than six parsons btifejpjhuddled into one, and

It is impossible to contemplate the con li

by the facts quoted) without keenly sympathi
