This is baby, 1t is girl baby. How
sloppy its chin is! How red its eyes What
horrid contortions IL makes with its face See
how savagely it kicks How sour it smells !
How like a demon it yells! Yet in few
short years some man will bo half craZed with
wild suspense, worshipping the very air this
being breathes, devoutly knecling at her feet,
and frantically begging for one word, one
pressure of the hand, even u look, which will
give him hope. Such is Philadelphia
| Call.
There is a now instrument Of torture. 1t
is meant as Christmas present for pet dogs,
and with il their abilities as nuisanccs are
| increased. 1t Is so-called musical ball. The
dog plays with it, aud with every bite he
| gives it emits sounds which are alleged to be
musical 1t is n machine which brings joy to
the brute and misery TO all else save his fair
mistress. Its screeching falls sweotly upon
her ears. To the man who would read, write,
or sleep this fresh attachment of tho pct dog
is an abomination beyond words to chnrac-
| terize.
