i CRYING BABY.

CRYING BABY.
[Morchouse (LA.) Caarion.l
In this town there lives u man VINO
has = baby that disturbs his dreams by
. continned and never-ceasing exer-
else Of It's iunGs. We have heard this
man give . history Of one nights nurs-
+. inO. and the account is enough to make
the stoutest heart quail. So
Now. It Is not our purpose to tender
any sympathy toward the father OF
this vociferous and sleepless baby.
Far be we from wasting our precious
pity upon any such q man. Our OBJ
ject In writing upon this subject is SIM
ply to show men who object to crying
babies their total inability to appreci-
ate the beautiful Ia Nature. Their
conception Of what is lovely, plaintive
and mel0dtous is as blunt and rusty as
an iron wedge. They are literally
dragging out their existence In stupid
surliness. None Of the exquisite joys
of life are realized and appreciated by
them. The man who objects to the
music that rolls SO easily and naturally
from the curled lips of a crying babe is
actually unfit for any kind of society.
His life is without a purpose. He has
no aim In the great human struggle
for prs-eminence over the brute. His
soul is as emotionless as the cheek of
an Egyptian mummy.
We have no sympathy for any man
who rejoices not In the mellifuous
shrieks Of a colicky baby. In fact, we
cannot endure the presence of such a
tyrant.
Men who love to hear the baby cry
are good men. They have warm
hearts. They feel that they are che
ross In the strife," when b0bbing and
dandling the stiff-back urchin from one
knee to the other. AS the yells grow
louder good mems knees bob faster.
They squeeze and hug and jump and
kiss and fondle the dear little thing,
while every effort but aggravates the
bowling and frantic fury of the
sdumpsy bumpsy." Still good men
that such babe Is a paragon of in
finite excellence. If'tis boy, he fan
cies he can detect in the keen yells the
future orator holding the surging pop
ulace spell bound with Ills magnetic
vociferations. If it Is girl, the kind
hearted, doting father imagines he can
some day place her fair hand in that
of some man, over whom she will
WELD decided and emphatic control.
These reflections stimulate tho fond
parent to make more desperate efforts
to soothe the crying babe. He rapidly
sings every song he ever heard. He
never stops rocking, and patting, and
plying the poor little s'duclky-ducky."
He never thinks of how time passes
away. Minutes fly like seconds. He
is too busy to see the hour hand of the
clock as it points to the rapidly passing
time. Moreover, the music of the
babe has such a power to dispel sleepi-
ness and drowsiness. While the babe
holds out to cry dull sleep never forces
itself upon the eyes of the kind father.
Perish the thought of sleeping while
tho precious child is crying. None but
the mean man can sleep.
Now, for the benefit of him who
quarrels when the baby molests his
nocturnal laziness we have given our
ideal of what he ought to be. Read
this and stop ranting and cursing
when the baby decides to have little
midnight bawl.

heaven in gratitude Neither spoke. The
Car was perfectly calm and an hour later sat

The Empress was asleep and heard nothing of
the explosion. Express orders were issued
that she should be left in ignorance of the
event.
The explosion caused great excitement in
the palace and throughout Petersburg. Dur
ing the night all along the river side, between
the Neya and the palace, surged the populace,
in sheepskins and furs, and torches flashed to
and fro upon the ice. Many of the aristocracy
fastened down the Nevsky Prospect to offer
their congratulations. but the police had strict
