Something About Babies.
bora According to a Yorkshire notion, a new
infant should be laid first iu the
arms f a tnaideu lxfore any Want’s ooa touche*
it; and in some places the right
hand is left nuwoaitad iu order that 'he
may gather riches. It is, too, considered
very should important by the many that an infant
go up in wHld before it goes
down. Thus, iu Cleveland, says Mr.
Henderson, if r cbild should be born iu
the top story of a house, for want of a
flight of stairs on* of the gossips will
take it in her arms and mount a table,
chair, ox chest of drawers before she
earrieg it down --stairs.
In the north of England, when an iu
funt for the first time goes out of the
honw, it is presented with an egg, soma
salt and a UtU« loaf of bread, and oc«&
wonallv a small pic^ of money—these
cliiid gifts being supposed to insure that the
shall never stand in need of the
common necessaries of life. In the
East Biding of Yorkshire a few matches
are added to light the child to heaven.
I.t was, too, in former times, customary,
and tha practice is not yet obsolete, to
provide a large cheese and cake, aud cut
them at the birth of the child. These
were called “the groaning cake and
cheese,” and were distributed among S all
the neighbors.
In Yorkshire this cake is termed the
“pepiicr cake,” and in some localities
the “sickening enke.” It is the source
of a specie# of divination, tor being cut
into small pieces by the medical man. it
