Our baby's wonderful child, I'm sure;
Do You know what she did to-day2
Why, when mother put her down on the floor.
She orawled right out at the open door,
AS If she was going awayl
Our baby-she's only eight months old
But If 1 take great care,
She's given me in my arms to hold;
She has five teeth, and like skeins of gold
: Are her tiny locks Of hair.
Our baby is 80 very dear to us,
We pet her all day long.
TIL old nurse says, "Dear me what fuss
Iherell be nothing left if you kiss her thus 7"
But am quite sure nurse is wrong.
Our baby-I know you would love her too,
She has such a winning way;
For first she seems with her eyes of blue
TO be looking at you quite through and
through,
And then she will smile and play.
Our baby-I wonder much if she knows
She is to US all 80 dearp
Now can she think, do you suppose?-
Bee how delighted she laughs and crows
When mother or nurse is near.

Too Severe Study.

1t has been pretty accurately asosr-
tanned that girls are not as a rule 80 able,
constitutionally, to bear study as boys
are, and that the effects of severe study
will in most instances be detrimental.
This has been found to be the case in
America more than in England. Not
long ago there was brought before the
commissioners of insanity in San Fran
cisco young girl whose mind was dis
eased to an extent that rendered her
committal to the ayslum inevitable.
The reason assigned was the evil above
alluded to. The girl had been devoted
to her studies. She had endured the
" cramming" process until her mind
gave way, and although, according to the
school reports, "highly distinguished
in her classes" she is to-day helpless
lunatic from the effects of this unnatural
and wrstched method of subiecting
youthful minds to torture which must
inevitably result in severe mental i'm
pairment. 1t is every year becoming
more evident that, if the old order Of
things is to be revolutionized, it will not
answer to do 30 without taking great
pains to find out what are the nature and
limits of the education which the mind
of an average girl will bear without in
jury to mental and bodily health.

A Story OF Tom COrwin.

II was we'll known of the /" wagoner's
boy" as Tom Corwin was familiarly
called, that he was, during his speeches,
very obliging and willing to answer all
questions propounded him during his
speeches, provided they were asked at
the proper time; but there were always
many rude men who were usually present
when he spoke who differed from him in
their views, and they would often make
it point to be impudent.
One of these fellows happened to he
present with his friends on one occasion
and during Mr.. Corwin's address, when
he was in the middle Of the sentence,
called out: "I say, Corwin, what do
you think of your party, take it as q
whole2 "Tom made no reply
when the man repeated it. Mr.. Corwin
stopped in his speech, aud we shall
never forget the seriousness of that
countenance-people laughed before he
had said a word-then drawing himself
up to his full stature, he roared out:
did any one hear al ass bray2" and
then relaxing his sternness with sort
of jerk, he drew down his mouth and
let go that smile of his, and such a roar
of laughter that followed from his audi
tors we have never since heard-but it
did not stop here, at least every ten
mintues throughout the next two hours
he would ask the same question: "Did
any one hear an ass bray2" pointing a
moral each time with the expression or
drawing a comparison in some way.
The laugh and the attention of all
turned upon the questioner, and before
he was through with his address we saw
the fellow and his friends quietly sneak
away, amid the jeers of the people.

The French Vintage.

1t is needless to say, says Paris COR
respondent, that the wine crop is the
most important of all in France, its value
largely exceeding that of all kinds of
grain. In ordinary years it is estimated
at considerably over two milliards of
francs. For twenty years its expectation,
alone has had mean value of two hun
dred and fifty millions of francs, and in
1873 France sold three hundred millions
worth of her wines. In addition to this
there is sixty millions worth of brandy.
The vintage contributes three hundred
and fifty odd millions to the budget of
the State, besides paying large sums in
octroi taxes to the towns in which it is
consumed. From these estimates one
can readily comprehend the general in
terest taken in the annual vintage, for a
superior wine crop means national pros
perity. When the vintage is poor, the
whole country is pinohed when it is
good the entire nation feels at ease.

An Old.Time Joke.

When about seventeen, the poet
Campbell, together with couple of
friends. played joke upon couple Of
tradesmen in the Trongate of Glasgow.
A respectable apothecary named Fife
had placard in his window, printed in
large letters: "Ears pierced by A.
Fife" meaning the operation to which
young ladies submit for the sake of
wearing earrings. Flies next. door
neighbor was a spirit dealer, named
Drum, and these two shopkeepers were,
for some cause or other, on bad terms.
Tom and his friends struck on an expe-
dient for reconciling them. They pro-
CURED long deal board, and painted on
it, in flaming capitals, this incription
from "Othello "The spirit-stirring
Drum-the ear-piercing Fife" This
they nailed one night over the contigu-
GUS doors, 10 the great annoyance to
Drum and Fife, and the great amuse-
ment Of every one else in Glasgow.
