First Babies.

First Babies.
There is an extensive fund of strong,
wholesome, common-sense "a most uncom-
mon possession by the way in the follow
ing plain paragraph from the Springfield
Repu6lican
"a somewhat extended observation, and
q solitary experience have convinced us that
first babies have hard time. Parents must
have two or three children before they know
what baby, is to know how to treat it, and
acquire patience to treat it properly. The
poor little fellows that have the misfortune
to come along FIRST, have to educate parents
to their task, and in the process they get
spanked and abused. After man has
three or four children, he learns that whip
ping child less than two years of age is
barbarism. We know of one t'paternal
head" who struck his first child when only
six weeks old, the ass actually believing that
the child knew better than to cry, and that
he stopped crying at that particular time,
because he struck him. We carry certain
notions Of children and family government
into married life, and the first child is al
ways the victim of these notions. And
not alone Of these, for the parents have not
learned selfcontrol, and baby is whipped
quite as often, because the parent is impa-
tent or angry, as because it is vicious or in
tractable. We inAict upon our children the
aoggings We ought to have for our own inn
patience or fretfulness. This pounding
children before they become. in Gods eye,
morally responsible beings, is very strange
business. Patience, good people-unwaver-
ing patience! Don't wait to learn it until
one Of your little ones shall be hidden under
the daisies"

EXPERIMENT WITH ARTIFICIAL TEETH
We have been very much amused, says an
exchange, in listening to an acquaintance of
ours, when describing his appearance with
a new set of teeth. He remarked:
81 have had all my teeth pulled out, for
to tell the truth, think they have been q
curse to me always, rather than blessing.
Now in their place, have had false ones
put in, and l must tell you my experience
with my new masticators. felt when the
"set' was put in, as though had couple
Of wheelbarrows full Of paving stones in my
mouth, and it seemed as if they were going
to be spilled out at every moment. The
first day waited till every one had done
their dinner, not daring to make an exhi.
bition of my teeth, and run the risk of
their dropping on the table. Well, chew
ed a little and stopped, chewed again and
stopped, and finally went to my room and
laid the darned things on the back part of
an upper shelf, thinking they were no CO.
The next day tried them again, but with
little better success, and after this would
carry them in my pocket, occasionally try
ing the things on, and every time expert
enced some new emotion. One day they
would feel as much like a great horseshoe,
with nails in, as anything else and again
I could be certain | had great circular
wheel slowed under my lips Some Of my
experiences were very comical. They serv-
ep me so many times, and was rather
getting tired Of my bargain; but by perse-
verance l have become used to their ways,
and now they cannot get away from me, IS
l know just now to manage them, and how
to bite on them, and bless from the bottom
of my heart the inventor of false teeth"

Att meeting in London, where there was
vast number of Sabbath School children
assembled, q clergyman arose on platform
and told them of two bad little boys whom
he had once known, and Of good little girl
whom he had afterwards learned to know.
This little girl had been to Sabbath School,
where she had learned to do some good
every day. Seeing two little boys quarrel
ing, she went up to them, told them how
wicked they were acting, made them desist
from quarreling, and in the end induced
them to attend Sabbath School. These
boys were jim and Tom. Now, children,
said the gentleman, would you like to see
Jim?
All shouted with ono voice, Eyes! Yes p
"Jim, get up r said the gentleman, look.
ing over to another part of the stage. A rev.
erend looking missionary rose and looked
smilingly upon the children.
"Now, would you like to see Tom?"
"Yes, yes" responded through all the
house.
swell, look at mel am Tom, and too
have been missionary for many years."

"You staid out so late," she said, ''that
feared you had been sick"
"Hic-ain't sick, wife; but don't you
think I'm little-hic- tight.'
"a very little, perhaps, my dear, but
that is nothing-you have SO many friends,
as you say, you must join them in glass

Wife, sou are too good-the truth is, I

"Oh, no, indeed, my dear, I'm sure even

"Oh, no, only julep too much, my love
that's all. Wen take glass of ale at any
rate; it cannot hurt you, dear; I wants one

The lady FASTENED to open q bottle, and
as she placed two tumblers before her ON
the side-board she put into one very pow
erful emetic. Filling the glass with foam
ing ale, she handed that one with q most
bewitching smile to her husband. Sus--
picion came cloudily upon his mind. She
had never before been so kind to him when
he was drunk He looked at the glass, then
raised it to his lips-then hesitated.
e Dear, won't you just taste Of mine, to
make it sweetcry' he said.
Certainly, love-" replied the lady, tax
ing mouthful, which she was very careful
not to swallow.
Suspicion vanished, and so did the ale,
emetic and all, down the throat Of the sat-
isfied husband. After splitting out the taste,
the lady finished her glass but seemed in :
hurry to retire.
She fixed foot-tub of water before an
easy chair, for which the husband was Gu
rious to know the reason. A few minutes
later the gulp and splurgc from his throat
gave answer.
The brick was gone when he rose from
the easy chair, and he never after carried
one home to his wife.

seems to me that Congress HAS NO SUCH

Congress possesses the power to impose this in

that the action of Congress in the one case il

other case is INDIRECT. It appears to me there

POVERTY THE PARENT OF FuN.-Poverty
runs strongly 10 fun. A man is never so
full Of jokes as when he is reduced to one
shirt and two potatoes. Wealth is taciturn
and frctful. St oa brokers would no sooner
indulge in hearty laugh than they would
lend money on a second mortgage. Nature
is great believer in conpensations. Those
to whom she sends wealth she saddles with
lawsuits and dyspepsia. The poor never
indulge in woodcock, but then they have a
style Of appetite that converts q number
three mackerel into salmon, and that is
quite as well.

While this gentleman was editor of the
"Star in the West, and before he became
candidate for Congress, he wrote in his
paper as follows:
"Have the brethren alluded to got tired
of preaching and defending Univcrsalism
that they are so desirous to dab6le in the
subject of slavery, or at least to mix it in
with the common business of our conven-
tons? Where is the good to result from
the agitation Of the slarery question among
as? True very few Of our preachers at
the East talk as though they were going to
accomplish wonders for the slave, but we
have not the most distant idea that all they
can say or do will throw a fictitious weight
in his favor. Southern people cannot be
forced to emancipate their slaves by the bois-
ferrous denunciation of people in the North,
but the efforts of fanatical Abolitionists
have already added to the existence of sic.
very at least half century"
"The present efforts of ultra Northern
Abolitionists are tending to produce stern
determination of many Southern people to
resist any attempt to abolish slavery. The
efforts Of the small body Of our preachers
in the East to make an end of slavery, with
all their bursts of eloquence and high
wrought descriptions, will have about as
much force to do away with slavery in the
South as SPIDERS web would have to dam
up and drive back the waters of the Niagara.
"We have enough to do as ministers of
the Gospel, without turning aside to meddle
with that which cannot do us or anybody
else any good. have looked carefully into
the subject, and taken pains to inform my
self by particular inquiries and observations
in the South during the past four years, and,
without prejudice either way, here give the

Select Poetry.

Written for the Times.
THE VOICE OF GOD.
BY B.F. sPAULDlNo.
In pleasures bowers or in sorrows hours
The voice of God-we hear 1t STILL
IT'S heard in each nook by the babbling brook,
'Tis heard by the church on the hill.
Where the wild birds sing or bright flowers spring
Up from their mother earth 30 gay,
Il sinks aud it swes like the vesper bells
At the close of a summer day.
IT'S heard on the gale, in each sunny vale,
'Tis heard where the waterfalls play,
And its accents but tell, with an echo'd swell,
That man Is passing away.
IT'S heard on the wave o'er the sailors grave,
And its tones to the clouds give form;
It falls on the ear with chilling fear,
As We bend to the passing storm.
But We heed it not, like thing forgot,
Or breath on the morning air,
And'our hearts shall own, though cold as stone
Gods voice we hear every where.
