A "DlCKE.s" BABY.--It was Il peCtlsiarity
Of this baby TO be always cutting teeth.
Whether they never came, or whether they
came and went away again, is not in evil
tleuce; but it had certainly cut enough, on
the showing Of its mother, to make hand
some dental provision for the sign Of the Bull
aud Mouth. All sorts Of Objects were iln-
pressed for the rubbing Of its gums, notWitll-
standing that il always carried dangling nj

of pokcrs, were among the commoncst ill.,

baby's relief. The amoGnt Of electricity that

then the child would he herself" ; and still
it never did come through, and the Child
continued TO be somebody else.
