Popping the Question

The subject is too interesting to be
introduced by any sage rcmarks.-
and yet it is important. Sometimes,
many times, mans happiness de
pends OH his manner OF ''popping the
question" Many time tie girl has
SAID "NO," because the question was
so worded that affirmative did not
come trom tie mouth naturally, and
two lives that gravitated to each
other with all their inward force,
have been thrown suddenly apart,
because the electric keys were not
properly touched. Another writer
c"rr0borates the statement. "Olten-
times" says he, "a girl says "No,"
to an offer, when it is as plain as the
nose on her face she means .'Yes"-
The best way to judge whether she
Is in earnest or not, is to look straigh,
into her eyes, and never mind her
noes" There are some people that
never "pop the question" but once.
They are cautious; they love with
their whole hearts before they ask
that all important question, and fhey
never love again Others go through
lite "poppfng" to every girl they arc
fortunate enough to be introduced to,
and to be treated civilly by, and are

A Baby Show in Texas.
OF THE YOUTHFUL
i'| COMPETITORS.

The San Antonio Herald says: "Thc
baby show took place at the Pagoda
on the Fair Grounds, and in the Sec
ond story Of it, which, by tho way,
reminds one Of the hurricane dock of n
steamboat, and the number and vio-
lence of tho squalls did not 20 tar TO
dispcl the illusion. In order to en>
courage Mr.. Samuel Bennett, who
provided the prize perambuIator,
about niDeteen babies had put in thoir
appearance. These said babies, in the
good ness of their hearts, had also
brought their mothers along, and
these ladies seemed to take al much
interest in the show as the babies
themselves. We suppose the babies
brought their mothers along to keep
them out Of mischief. Besides the
babies and the young mothers, there
were quite number Of ladies and
gentlemen present who were not ba-
hiess and had not been babios for some
time, who came because they once
had been Dabies, and wished to find
out if the human race was not deLe,
riorating.
There were various styles of babies
there. There was the serene, con.
templative baby, that quietly devour-
ed the landscape with it's eyes. When
that kind Of Il buby grows up he be-
comes II heavy taxpayer and accumu-
Iates real estate, and is regarded, and
justly, too, as highly respectable. -
Then there WAS the disOrdcrly baby,
that punches it's mother in the nose.

'""Roman liberty was prrostrated
forever. Tyrants, armed with abso--
Lutte and irresponsible power, ruled
over the empire; nor could their ty-
ranny end but with their lives. Noble
sentiments and aspirations were re-
bnked The usual jealousy of tyrants
Mas awakened to every emancipating
Influence OH the people. They were
amused with shows aud spectacies,
bat could not make their voices u neard
regarding public injuries. They
were absolutely in the hands Of iron
masters. One man reigned supreme.
His will was law; tie Senate was only
his servant. 1t was treason to fad
fault with any public acts, aud revolt
was madness. The world never saw
a moro rapid retr"grade in human
rights, or a greater prostration of
liberties. Taxes were imposed ac.
cording to the caprice of the Govern.
~ent. Provisional Governors became
more rapacious and cruel. Judges
feared to decide against the Govern
nent. A vile example was present
ed to the people in their rulers. The
emperors squaudered immense sums
"n their private pleasures, and eet
public opinion at dehaEcc. W"men
became debassed from the influences

TO stop that style OF child from crow ro
ing, When that kind fchiId grows vi
up he becomes popular, and Is elected
justice Of the peace or United States
Senator, like Governor Coke. Then.
too, there was the hungry infant that
called for the bill Of fare. When that
kind Of child becomes fully developed,
mentally and musicaIIy, it becomes
oontemplatiye, joins the ministry, and
becomes a terror to spring chickens.
There were several other styles OF
baby, but we can't devote so much
space to such small fry. We have not
mentioned how tho female babies
would turn out on account Of the un-
certainty Of the sex. '
There was some difficulty in OBJ
tanning Judges to pass on the infants.
Whenever gentleman was requested
to act aS judge he was singuIarly
unanimous in refusing to bring down
on himself the wrath of the babies who
might not get the perambulator. As
it was absolutely certain that there
would not be less than seventeen of
those enraged cherubs, we do not
blame them so much, after all. Be
sides, these insulted littio cubs have
mothers, fathers and other relatives.
No wonder there was certain un-
willingness to intrude.
At last FIVE heroic men were found
to act as judges.
The mothers seated themselves in a
circle, with their infants on their laps.
the judges made the rounds on tremb
ling limbs, gazed falLeringly at each
infant, and then with blanched faces
consulted hurriedly together, cast
their ballots, looking over their should
ers at tho determined faces of the
mothers, and then hurried down the
stairs and out of the pagoda, and are
by this time doubtless safe in some
country that has no extradition treaty
with the United States. 1t was un-
derstood that the awards would not
be called until thejudges had ton min.
utes start.
We would like to make some ex-
tended suggestions on this subject,
but space prohibits. If wo were one
OF thejudges, no, matter how rounded
the limbs Of an infant might be; no
matter how many dimpIes it sported
on its chin; it might smile like IL lady
with new set of false teeth, and
might be able TO clay ono of Beet.

piano besides, it would never get our
vote unless it's father made affidavit
that he had nevor walked it about at
night, and it was regular and deco>
rous in it's behavior toward all the
members of the family. That is the
style Of baby that ought to be encour
aged. That's the kind of baby that
deserves perambulators and mugs and
kind words in the papers. 1t may
have red hair and speckled complex
ion, but it is nevertheless the only
style of baby that is really "a wolI-
spring of joy to it's parents and O. credit

he might probably succeed with his IN
firing vigilance, fixed as 1t Is on obtain
ing The senatorial Office, if those who
are opposed to him did not urge the fact
Of his mysterious and Indefinite age
They say that he lis known to have been
an active politician in the district he
once represented in Congress, and in the
State Legislature fifty or sixty years ago,
and that che oldest living people rernefn-
Der to have seen him In an old wool hat,
and red COW hide shoes Zone Of his fav-
orite costumes In election hunting in
that locality d few years after the State
Of Alabama was admitted into the Union.
But the old mans practical patriotism
IL untiring, and his services have been
so distinguished that he ought to be re-
wafded with office as long as his legs
can support his octogenarian body. Der
pend on it, that the office, instead Of
weakening this true patriot, will make
him stronger In body and mind.
