THE WAY TO TEND BABY "A Chippewa
Jndisn has been leciuring in Har,!ard,
where, in lecture on Tuesday evening,
according 10 the Times, he advised the H.
dies Of Hartford to tic their babies, ms eoon
~ they were born, to board, bind them
down tight, and keep them there, most Of
the time, ill they were ten months DID,
''Pnt hoop round the head" he says, "and
then when the board gets knocked over, i,
won't break the child'a nose." He sums
up other advantages ~ follows: "you see,
ladies, (holsling up specimen,) the child's
hands are tied down, % il can't scratch lis
own eyes out, and can't scratch its mo,her's
bsesst, too; il can't wriuglo abou. and get
very tired; il can't bend over, and must
grow straight--whcn the mother goes out
after hcrbs. she can hang il on a tree, and
seskes can't bite il; whom il cries, the moth
Of can swing il across her back. and rock il
so--(swaying his body to and fso) and can
carry il great distances in this manner. too;
can al, j. up BY the sido ofthe wigwsm, very
handy; and when the canoe turns over, the
child swims If on the board, not drown; i,s
back don't hreak across ito mother'a arm
bscanss the board supports il: The child can't
crawl into the FIRE and burn up. too--can
lesve i long time, all safe-so think this
much best way, lsdies--much best!'

ROMANTIC GEaERCsirN.-Sosne twenty.
five or thirty years ogo, there resided in
London an old sergeant Of artillery. This
pcrson, in the course Of bis duties, by soms
means or other, had been brought into IRE
quent contact with Sir Francis Durde,,, who
Ind conceived high opinion Of the ser
geant. One morning Sir Francis CHANGED
10 meet his humble friend in tho street,
aud observing him to tc looking moro INK
ious than usual. kindly said to him, "Weli.
n, what are you about? You arc look
ing dnller than usunl; has anything hap.
pcncd" "No.hing very particular. your
honor" was the reply, "only my wifs has
got . son this morning, and-and-Sir
Francis, now That think of il, If you had
no objcc,ions, I should like to name him
after you." ''Surcly, SURELY" said the A.
Unable old gentleman; "ana remember,
N, when be grows up, to bring me in
mind Of ,his-perhnps NAV DO able to do
something for tho boy" The ceremony
Of baptism over, a. which Sir Francis sp-
peared a. godfather, nothing moro 10 said
to have passed At the timo. Tho hon. bar
ones, in the course Of years, was gathered
To his fathers, ms was also tho old sergeant.
Tho boy was sent to sea, and by applica-
cation and good conduct, Ind been promoted
TO the situation nt mate in = merchants
vessel. A few weeks ago, while In Liver
pool, the young man saw what he thought
good opportunity Of purchasing half of .
vessel on his own account; but not being
possessed Of sufficient means, no wrote 10
his friends in Edinburg, to inquire If they
could assist in tho purchase. The idea
now occurred to one Of the voting mats
brothers, that he might take il upon him to
make Sir Ffancis's hciress aware OF tho
former promise Of her father, and letter
was sent to Miss Burde,te Cou,,s, detailing
oil the circumstances, and enclosing tho
young man's certificates Of character. Tho
reply TO this note was received in town,
last week, aud was couchcd in that mag
nificent style for which the lady had become
celebrated. Il contained no vain words.

fl,0O0. However extraordinary this sso-
~ may appear, we have good authority for
stating it US q literal fact.

the PARTING WORD.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

must leave thee, lady sweet.
Months shall waste before we meet,
Winds are fair, and sails are spread,
Anchors leave their ocean bed;
Ere this shining day grow dark,
Skies shall grid my shoreless bark;
Through thy tears, q lady mine,
Read thy lovers parting line.
When the first sad sun shall set,
Thou shalt tear thy locks Of jet;
When the morning star shalt rise,
Thou shalt wake with weeping eyes;
When the second sun goes down,
Thou more tranquil shalt be grown,
Taught too well that wild despair,
Dims thipe eyes, and spoils thy hair.
All the first unquies week
Thou shalt wear smileless cheek;
In the first months sacred half
Thou shalt once attempt to laugh;
Then in Pickwick thou shalt dip,
Slightly puckering round thy lip,
Till 1t last in sorrows spite,
Samuel makes thee laugh outright.
While the first seven mornings last,
Boltcd in thy chamber fast,
Many a youth shall fume and pous,
s'tIang the girl, she's always out:"
While the second week goes round,
vainly shall they ring and pound;
When the third week shall begin,
"Martha, let the creature in"
Now once moro the Rattering throng
Round thee flock with smile and song,
But thy lips, unweaned Ms vet,
Lisp, .sOh, how can forgei.''
Men and devils both conirivc
Traps for catching girls alive
Eve was dupcd and Helen kissed
show, oh how can you resist"
Firat, be careful Of your fan,
Trust il not to youth or man;
Love has filled . pirates sail
often with its pcrfd,ned gale.
Mind your kerehief most Of all,
Fingers touch when kerchicfs fall;
Shorter ell than MERGERS clip,
u the space from hand 10 lip.
Trust not such ns talk in iropes,
Full Of pistols, daggers, ropes,
All the hemp that Russia bears
Scarce would answer lovers prayers;
Never thread was spun so fine,
Never spider stretched the line,
Would mot hold the lovers true,
That would really swing for you.
Fiercely some shall storm and swear,
Beating breasts in black despair;
Others murmur with . sigh,
You must melt or they will die;
Painted words on empty lics,
Grut. with wings like butterflies;
Let them die, and welcome too,
Pray what better could they do!
Fare-thee-wcll, il years efIncc
From the heart love's burnt, 2 trace,
Keep, oh keep, that hallowed seat
From the tread Of vulgar feet;
II the blue lips Of the sea,
Wait with icy kiss for me,
Let not thine forget the vow,
Sealed how often, Love, ss now.
