GOD BLESS TEE BABIES!
An editor who has lately come in
possession of a half interest in a ten
pound baby soliloquizes as fo lows:
“God Hess tbe babies! What a
world this would be without them,
says some unknown enthusiasm pos¬
sessed of a big heart. What a sour¬
ing and curdling up there would be
of the milk of human kindness’ for
want of nn outlet, if there were no
itt'e cherubs to caress Often and
of^en when entering vvtili some mis¬
givings the great hall of some new
place my heart has leaped up at the
sight of a tiny wot leu bootee, a very
rainbow of hopeljing on tbe waxed
floor while the sight of a wrecked tin
train has been as welcome as a card
of invitation to a ball is to a young
lady better
God bless the baby! It is a
tonic than all the bitters ever
advertised.
The baby has a mission and fufills
it; it has an object, in life and accorn
plishes it If ever it becomes neces
airy to thin out the population I hope
the.process will not begin at the small
end of the human race, for J affirm
.
and mantam t a er
baby too many in the whom _ wor.d.
Bett 1 r far be dead and forgotton
than to live long enough,to turn
back upon your own peoble in
day that tiied men s
