| Babies
| In an article in the Quarterly Review of
| "Physiognomy" occurs the following quaint
paragraph on the subject of babies: "The
| newborn babe meets our curious gaze, an ugly
enough specimen of 'mammalia'--the ugIiest,
perhaps. which this earth produces--with a
tiny red, raw, uncomfortable face, which we
look upon as vacantly as on the map of coun-
try on which al! names of places are omitted.
For while j, lies there, a sleeping, wheeling,
greedy little animal, till one day something Is
seen to flicker over the features--flckering,
perhaps, through the bonds of sleep-a some
thing which alone is all sufficient to distinguish
man from the brute. 1t is the, smile, that ear.
nest OF hope beyo ond which Eve carried away
even through her fears, from the garden OF
Eden, and the human legitimacy of the infants
birth is at once declared. At this age all but
that 10 uncertain. The mother sees beauty,
and the family trace likeness, but form, color,
and expression are suspended, and even quan-
tity goes for nothing. A few months later
and the scene is changed: tender colors, bud
like are there, and two large lustrous eyes,
wide oren, but with solemn abstract attention,
seeing nothing, for the babe is not yet of this
world. No direct intelligence is yet to be seen;
no encroaching on an older age, which would
be fearful sign, for the fairy changeling of
the alden time was known even before its miss
hapen limbs came to view, by the look of in.
telligence with which its eyes followed the
nurse about the room. And beside the smile,
there is an occasional laugh; but, tho direct
CHARACTERISTIC OF humanity, we like it not. 1t
exposes toothless gums and vacant gulf, and
approximates the FIRST and second childhood
together with distressing likeness. It is pro.
dnced also by tossing or tickling. or some
foo'ery unworthy the little beings dignity, for
young children are serious creatures, and when
not unduly excited. seldom condescend to such
full growthllevity.'
