TREATMENT OF INFANTS IN SUMNER.
The Tribune remarks that in July
and August the baby becomes. or ought
to become, point of public interest.
When it becomes the victim of bad ven-
tilation. uncleanliness, or indigestion, it
is a matter of deliberate cruelty.
Washing might be called the basis of
babes salvation through teething a
thorough sousing of the little body in
plenty of cold water every morning, and
when the weather is extremely hot, a
tepid sponge bath at night; washing,
too. constantly of all clothes and cloths
used by the infant, to afford It perfectly
clean garments at all times. Whatever
milk be given must be thoroughly sweet
and cool. Infants under two years
should be restricted in their diet to milk,
oatmeal, mush or Cruel, carefully pre-
pared and beef broth or minced raw
beef in small quantities.
An infant never cries unless when
hungry, hurt or sick and through these
perilous two months the helpless little

CATEGORICAL COURTING.

1 sat one night, beside blue-eyed girl
The fire out, and so too, was her mother:
A feeble flame around the lamp did curl,
Making faint shadows, blending in each other,
'Taws nearly twelve O'Clock, too in November;
She had shawl oH also, remember
Well, had been to see her every night
For thirteen days, and had sneaking notion
To pop the question, thinking all was right,
And once or twice had made an awkward motion
To take her hand, and stammered, coughed ant
stuttered;
But somehow nothing to the point had uttered.
l thought this chance too good now to be lost;
hitched my chair up pretty close beside her,
Drew a long breath, and then my legs crossed,
Bent over, sighed, and for five minutes eyed her.
She looked as if she knew what next coming
And with her foot upon the floor drumming.
didn't know how to begin or where
couldn't speak-the words were always checking
scarce could novel seemed tied to the chair
hardly breathed-'twas awfully provoking!
The perspiration from each pore came oozing,
My heart, and brain, and limbs their power seemed
losing.
AT length saw brindle tabby cat
Walk purring up, inviting me to pat hel
An idea came, electric like, at that;
My doubts, like summer clouds, began to scatter;
seized ON Tabby though a scratch she gave me
And said, Come Puss, ask Mary if she'll have me-"
Twas done at once-the murder now was out
The thing all explained in half minute;
She blushed, and turning pussy-eat about,
Said, Pussy, tell him yes" Her foot in it.
The cat had thus saved me my category,
And here's the catastrophe of story.
