Camping with the Baby.
tThe Angl er


" Bourgeois " sends from Denver TO the
4agler bit of fisherman's painting of life
at Pine Grove, on the South Park railroad.
In 1t occurs the following tender piece of
word -sketchinL " 1t was determined that
baby and ] should tend camp for half an
hour or so that afternoon while the three
natural guardians wandered off to the ad-
jacent hillside to gather wild flowers where
with to deck the tea-table. This was no
new business TO us, The young man, with
a pillow at his bP ok, seated In the middle of
a blanket, rubbing his face with teaspoon
lying prone three feet away, with my feet
beating an occasional tattoo on the soft
sward, my chin in my hands and briar-
root between my teeth, watching him
There was a bright light In his eyes and
his cheeks were rosy, soft as
velvet, yet firm and cool. What is
there like the touch of baby's
cheek pressed against your own You must
turn and kiss it, just Ms you did its mother
the first time you had right to. But is
there anything more ridiculous In life than
to see a baby attempt TO put a spoon into its
mouth before he has got the knack of it Z
See him hit himself in the eye with it, pretty
much as drunken man would knock a fly
Off his nose; smear it down his face, with his
mouth wide open and turned up like young
robins, but 1t misses the place on the way
| down; he takes IL with both chubby fists,
looks at it with dignitied surprise, as though
for the first time aware of its presence, lets
go one hand whacks the spoon against one
ear and drags it across his cheek with the
same result. But persistence is character
of this baby, quiet determination
that has something appalling about
| it, If there were any rasp-
berry jam on that spoon his face would look
worse than a railroad map OF the State of
New York. Finally, and, as it would seem
after all more by accident than design, the
spoon reaches the right place, he twists It
around to the distortion of his rosebud
mouth; then he looks at me, sees me laugh
| ing; the fun seems to dawn upon him. He
takes the spoon out of his mouth, pounds
the blanket with it and smiles back at me,
and the smile resolves itself into well de
fined laugh. The sun has just disappeared
behind the range, but there is a mellow ray
of golden light that fingers about the baby's
head that makes me think-think of the
one so like him; aud from the base of the
hill, with her hands full of wild flowers, the
tallest Of the three starts toward me, and
remember the only sunshine of the long

Favors the Whipping Post.

New York, April 9.-Editor Wayland,
of the National Baptist, Philadelphia, read a
paper before the weekly meeting of the Bap-

feature Of modern laws for the punishment
of criminals was the agitation for the return
TO the whipping-post of Moses. "Garroting
and wife. beating is so punished in England
and that most justly" said the speaker
After telling of a brutal instance of wife
beating that came under his own obserya-
tion, he said: 81 don't know of anything
that would please me more than to see that
man logged until up to his ankles in blood.
TO talk Of degrading such criminal is like
talking of eorrupting the late Mr.. Tweed.
