The Old Baby.

am always sorry for the old baby-the
little fellow who used to be the reigning
baby before that pink thing in white
skirts and flannel blanket was brought to
the front door by the storks, as we know
new babys always are. His whims ruled
the house then--what he wanted he had.
his cunning ways were mentioned in his
presence. 1t was crime to scold him, and
he slept with mamma and sat on grandmas
lap.
Now he has CRIB, in which he often
wakes at night to cry. New baby lies close
to mamnla's heart, but he is banlshed He
cannot often find a place on grandma's lap
through the day. 1t IS often occupied by
the tiannel blanket. When he shouts he is
instantly hushed; he will wake baby
Mamma stays up stairs, as he believes, TO
play with that new baby. How can he tell
how her heart yearns for her banished one
He thinks himself forgotten. He is too
small to play out Of doors with the other
boys. Papa goes away early. Nurse says
'don't' and "go away" when he toddles up
stars. His sisters go to school. Sally is
cross. Servants are always cross 1T such
times. Nobody can or will mend his wagon
or spin his top. People who come to call
inquire for "the baby" He is nobody now.
He understands this as well as any grown
person can, and as he cannot be expected to
comprehend particulars. he can make no
allowance tor the odd behavior of his elders.
l believe the seeds of suspicion and ILL.,
temper are often sown in the little mans
breast during this awful trial, and that he
thinks less of his fellow mans constancy
for the rest Of his life. And | advise YOU,
if you desire TO be benefactor and help
one suffering mortal out of trouble and
sorrow, to devote your attentions, your com
pllments, your smiles, to the old baby when
you 60 to house at which new one has

Outwitting Sawyer.

United States Senator Sawyer, of Wis
consin now worth several million dollars, is
practical lumberman, and made his first
money buying pine lands. He would 20
cut prospecting find all the good sections,
and then when there were public sales of
lands, he would know what to bay. So
well was this understood that sharp firm
of New York land buyers concluded to
utilize Mr.. Sawyer's private information
by bidding all his good land away from him.
At the next sale at Oshkosh, Mr.. Sawyer
found that whenever he started to bid on
lot 1t would run up on him. He stopped
after one or two efforts and went out He
returned in moment and resumed bidding.
The New York men bid against him all day,
beating him on every bid. capturing thous-
ands of acres. They did not 20 near the
land for some years, until Oshkosh had
grown to be quite city, and Senator Sawyer
to be very rich man. They all came to
Oshkosh then, and as they neared there
they felt very happy over the way
they outwitled Sawyer. He kindly invited
them all to his house, gave them good
dinner, and formally forgave them for get
ting the start of him. The next morning
after their arrival, Senator Sawyer invited
them to come to his house after they inspect
ed their land. He wanted them to stay and
make an old time visit, but Senator SAWYER
never saw them again. They discovered
that Mr.. Sawyer had arranged with friend,
as soon as he discovered their game at the
public sale, to bid upon the good lots, while
he (Sawyer) put IN bids on all the marsh
and water he could find. Not single foot
of the purchase made by the New York
people was good for anything but duck
pasture.
