The Blessed Baby.

Do you think if fd a baby
That I'd let him pull my hairl
DO yOu think rd put on collars
just for him to soil and tear:
Do you think I'd call it pretty
When he bit his little toe
Yet I've known some silly mothers
With their babies do just so.
DO you think I'd set him crying
Just to see his cunning frown!
Do you think I'd set him walking
just to see him tumble down?
Would | call my baby pretty
When he'd neither teeth nor hair:
Yet | know some silly mothers
Think their babies wondrous fair.

TILE WEST POINT CADET-HOW
HE FARES.-The arduous duties of a
West Paint Cadet are not more than
half realized by the hundreds of
young gentlemen seeking appoint
ment there. Rise at five in summer
and six in winter, bedclothes put
away and room arranged for inspec-
ton in half an hour. Study until
seven; class parade at eight recita-
tions and study until one; dinner
and recreation until two; another
class parade; study until four; sun,
set general parade, supper, and in
thirty minutes the call to quarters I;
until half past nine study, and at
ten every light eXtinguished. OF
course these duties are sometimes
evaded, but it is dangerous busi-
ness. Such is but an outline of the
days work repeated from day to
day, for five years. with no inter
ruption day. At the end of the
first two years, there is furlough,
of several weeks, this being the on>
ly time during the course i'll which
tne Cadet is allowed to leave the
Academy. There are endless op.
pertunities during the military ex.
ercises for incurring demerit, and if
any cadet incurs one hundred ia six
months he is declared deficient iu
conduct. For all this drilling, the
cadet receives $50 per month, and
are required to pay Tor board 80 to
$40 per month, and 81 for washing.
Other eXpenceS, as clothing. ETC.,
etc. consume the whole. Their fare
is the plainest kind.
