B0-A Bic BASKET PULL OF BAB,Es.-

We saw wagon load of "flittin," going up
Quincy street. in the midst of whic h there
was big basket containing about six little,
round, plump, curly headed babies, all ap-
parently about the same age and of the

the basket with that nice taste aud regard
for order which only a mother could have
exercised, and their little bright faces
looked liked diamonds set ina costly3Fiug.'
AS they passed along the street they stack
up their little curly heads like young aedg-
ling orioles in Fest, and crowed and
bounced at every object of interest which
attracted their attention. 1t was sprink-
ling little at the time and as the rain
drops bounced upon their uncovered faces
aud heads the little fellows seemed to ex-
perieuce the most intense delight, in which
the driver of tie wagon, rough looking
fellow, participated with such a keen rel
ish that he came very near upsettipg lis
