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 ,-ition till he was full of itciigs from rite crown of his head to 1 the Soie of his rfqot ? ho must | I not turn over for fear of awaking “the baby’’ I And yet surely lie must not take a bed in no- j other part of the house, because ‘•the baby” 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. If Mr. Vincent’s watch chaiu NttracteH its attention the watch must come from the pock et and be delivered over at the imminent li-k and frequent smashing of crystals and .ac'e If ‘the baby” cited for the porcelain vn-es li the mantel, or the little Sevres card b isk l .m tile table, they were immediately on the I) nu ; or on the crib beside it, and soon afterwards in many pieces. If it wanted papa’s papers either they must be forthwith given up, m both baby and motl>er would concur in rai-- ing a domestic storm. H any important pa per or anytjiing else was missed, when inquiry was made tor it, the chances were twenty to one that it bad been given to “the baby,” and on all such occasions Air. Vincent's vexation UetUfid with Waited indifference. If, as often happened, af er obtninfiig everything yiiu/m itsmo Tib i S reacli, and breaking up everytiii t.cr j 11; a< could he broken, “the bihy” still cried I imuii diatidy and arnoyingly, it was quite as much as Mr. Vincent’s life was worth to e* I press the lest vexation or impatience.
