AN AMERICAN NURSE'S SPEECH.

The following speech, delivered to an Alderman's
child, while the nurse was undressing it, was taken in
short-hand, from her own mouth, by the reporter of the
Bu/Ja'o Advertiser:—
The child cries, while nurse sings,
Heigh, baby-bunting!
Poppy's gone a-hunting.
"Dids 'em, dids 'em vex my child? What does my
child cry for? Did 'em take my child's hobby-horse?
0 do blessing on it: t'shall have it den again, and ride
abroad with its flown pappa.—Go, naughty daddy, go!
What! ride abroad and not take its nown child with it?
We'll tell mamma. It shall be a mayor itself, some time
or other, and ride in its nown coach; aye, that it shall,
and it's old nurse shall ride with it. [Child cries
louder.] Husb-adea! hush-adea! Won't it boa mayor?
It shan't be a mayor, then! It shall be anything, so it
won't cry so. Hush-aden! Did I say it should be a
mayor, and 'front mine own child? It sha'nt be a mayor:
it shall be a judge or a bishop; for I'm sure my child
would make as good a judge or bishop as any judge
or bishop among them. Dod a bless it! 'tis quieter
now. Aye, aye, it shall be a bishop; and old nurse will
make it so. Hush•aden! what if an old woman should
make it so? [Nurse having stripped it, it cries louder
than before.] Well. Mercy on me! who'd bo a nurse?
—0 thee'rt a tiresome brat! What, never leave cryiag?
Well, I won't huff it no more."
