liked the "joke.” A coanc or a common
mind would have enjoyed the triumph of
having an attentive “bachelor” to parade
regularly before half-a-dozen damsels, not
one of whom could boast that a hbachelpr”
ever entered their doprj Lut EHza
the faith that all young women should be
married, and comfortably married too ; and
therbfore she shrank from provoking envy,
Where no envy should exist. Passing this,
however, I may repeat that these girls
weye'almost the only troubles of our quiet
and happy courtship; but so sensitive was
Eliza, that, as therb was no other way of
getting out of the street than by passing
the window of the “tawpies,” we have
frequently sat till it.was dark, and thereby
lost our evening’s walk, rather than go out
in daylight and pass under the ordeal of
observation.
The wedding-day was fixed, and time
flew on. We were a “ sensible” couple,
and resolved that our wedding should be
sober and sedate—a quiet breakfast with
a few choice friends after the important
ceremony, and a still quieter excursion.
In fact, being so very “ sensible,” our ima
ginations vaulted beyond the wedding-day,
and sketched out our future domestic feli
city. Eliza wanted a nice little cottage

on summer evenings, she would Watoh*for

the “light and life” of my existence,
movmgjiibotit my own house, more as an
anjgel tKan a woman, and making my fire
side radiant. Nay, We speculated, too,
oboist ottr prospective family; and though
blnsiied, and smiled and Lraghed,
her imagination had already dressed up
three Or four .delightful little creatures
■ , hair, olenr complexions,
sparklingcyes, and loudj ringing, merry
_voices. Then we shook our heads about
the awfpl responsibility of a family; and
we laid jdown plans how they were to be
brought up, educated, and provided for;
and we gesolved to he economical in our
expenses, correct in our deportment, and
.exaot ini all our doings—our prospective
ohildreh were to become little models for
the hnipan race. What a deal of romance
there is?in the hearts of a fond young,cou
ple, to pe gradually dsssipated by broken
china bowls, smashed toys, and a number
pf little jCf ceteras, “ too numerous' to men
tion !” ;
■ -• Abotit three .o’clock, on a dark, dreary,
Btormy Kovember morning, I was sudden
ly roused out of a profound sleep by some
body shaking my shoulder and flaring a
candle in my face. When very much fa
tigued, -as Was the case pn the present oc
casion, I ani, like seme wild animals, diffi
cult to he awakened, and usually stare in
bewilderment before comprehension exerts
its influence. “You did not hear me,”
said a y|lce; "I knocked first at the door,
and then made bold to enter. You had
better get up, sir, for mistress is becoming
very bid.” *
The words of the summons were very
indistinctly, heard, bxitr I knew the cause;
so 1 drawled out: “ Ye-es, IT! get up im
mediately.” So saying, I sank back in
the bed,?and was in an instant once more
in a.soi£nd\slecp.
I do not know whether I slept five min
utes or,nn hour, but I was startled by a
sharp clicking, caused by the sudden turn
ing of the handle of the door, and the
hasty rd-entry of my disturber. “Oh, sir,
you must get up, you must indeed! I’ll
reave the candle, sir, but you must be
smart:”* '
The voice was the voice of one of a
privilegcd class, who, like the Tools of the
ancient’time, sometimes presume On their
prerogative. There was ho time; however,
for ceremony on the present occasion.—
“ Yes, burse/’ J replied, «I’ll be up in-
and as at that moment, a moan
struck on my ear, proceeding from the
adjoining bed-room, my heart spoke to my
heels j-rrl was on the floor dressed in a
minute/ ' \
The wind blew in gusts, the windows
danced ; in their frames, and the rains
splashed against the glass. My poor wife
tried to;hide her agony, and apologized for
raising ane, though the apology was inter
rupted by a scream. " Oh, my dear, lam
so sorry—hut nurse thinks the doctor
should be sent for." The house Shook, at
that moment to the very foundation.
" Really, William, I cannot think of let
ting yola go out—r-you*ll bo killed by the
falling of some chimney-top—send Mary.”
Now;T had no particular fancy for go
ing to let the girl go rather jarred
with my selfishness. “ No, no, my dear,
you’ll require Mary yourself—l won’t be
many minutes,”
' *‘ Will) William, wrap yourself up; take
care Of yourself Nurse, go down and
help hun.on with his great-coat—William,
take ca|re —oh I” ; '
“ Poor dear soul,!” said Ito myself, as
I wentlluti " thinking of me in the midst
of her oisn sufferings. Well, after all, the
women' are a . good set—l hope my poor
wife wiU get-well after all!”
In hbput ten minutes I was standing at
the doof of a wrncr house, with any Irand
oh brMS handle of a bell-pul}, round
-which were engraved the words ‘‘Night
-BoU/'*. It. answered my rather vigorous
with a loud and long-continued re
verberation. Meantime I tried to shelter
myself within the door-way, for the wind
howled around me, and the rain battered
and stashed at me, as if it were glad to
get h JiplitMy victim who could feel its
violence. Nolndy The inter
val might he five nunhtes, hut at .that mo
ment I could have sworn in a court of
justice that I had stood there fialf the
night. I pulled the third time, and the
bell sc|med destined to ring foreveiry while
I made the knocker do the work of a
sledge-hammer. At last a foot-step Shuf
fled along the passage; the door-chain
rattled ; the bolts were withdrawn; and a
head, the front of which must have wligh
cd heavy from the profusion of its papers,
projected, like the Irislunan’s gun/"round
the corner.”

i«U gallop, facing wind aad.iridiif
Arrived at the terrace, I sawarlohg row
[independent in bverything.J
of.houses, every door alike, every, knocker'
-alike, and every area alike. I began to
doubt whether or not it were twenty or
thirty I had to call at, and I paused to
consider. .The wind drove me onwards,
a od I began to get angry with myself; my
anger only confused my recollection the
more. 1 was how uncertain whether it
might not be thirty-six, or forty-six, or
fifty-six. “Drat babies, doctors, purses
and all]” I exclaimed; “ what the plague
brings me here ?” I looked upwards to
see if I could discern any symptoms of
bustle, or any glimmering indications that
unman beings were watching the agonies
of human beings. Every window and
every house seemed dork and silent as the
grave. I now looked round for the Watch
man, or for anybody who by instinct or
observation might help to detect the pre
sence of a doctor in some one of the “uni
formities” of Manchester Terrace. Not a
living. soul could I see. I knocked at
thirty-six—no answer. I knocked at for
ty-six—the same result. In a passion I
knocked at fifty-six, and "presently high
above-head I heard the whistling sound of
a window thrown up, and a deep voice
called out, “ Well, sir, what do you want?”
“Oh, I. beg your pardon, sir, 1 .am
afraid I am mistaken, but I thought Dr.
Nugent was here.” -
“No!” thundered the voice, and the
window thundered down after it.
Drenched with rain, and out of humor
with myself, I blamed the flickering lamps
for making me forget the number, and then
resolved to nin back and give the doctor’s
servant a good “ blowing up,” which she
would remember for some time. Turning
the corner, I came in rather violent con
tact with a man wrapped in a cloak, and
could have throttled him. Shame, how
ever, succeeded to wrath when I discov
ered in my antagonist the “Doctor” I was
in search of.
\ “ Oh, doctor,” said I, “ this is lucky—
I have been seeking for you like a fool,
up and down here. Come along.”
We walked for a little way in silence,
for the doctor was a thoughtful man and
had left a death-bed. I should talk, how
ever. “ Well now, doctor, this : circum
stance of strangers coming home in the
night time is not very pleasant. lam
rather out of humor with the joke.”
“ Sir,” said the doctor, “ your wife at
home thinks it no joke, and I fancy she
has the worst of the Bargain. Do you not
think, now, that if your safety, or even
your comfort required it, she would go
out for you, if it were raining cats and
dogs?”
I need not record my answer, nor tell
whether it were in the affirmative or neg
ative’. We shortly arrived 'at home; I
went down stairs to dry myself at the
kitchen fire,- and the doctor went up stairs
to his patient, I was going to say, but that
is not exactly the word.
By-and-by, down come the nurse, her
looks full of importance, but struggling to
maintain her professional equanimity. A
few orders were given to Mary, and Mary
flew like a mad-cap, evincing by her exci
ted manner how highly she estimated thei
honor of even a very humble share in the
important proceedings. Then, approach
ing the fire, where I was standing, nurse
muttered a “ Beg your pardon, sir,” fn a
tone which seemed to insinuate that I ought;
to beg her pardon and get out of'the way.’
I never felt so insignificant in my life. j
Left for some time to myself, I become I
uneasy, and went on the stairs to! listen if
“anybody were coming.” I heard the
bed-room door open, and presently a thrill
scream announced the important fact that
I was a papa, and the father of a child
blessed with excellent lungs. -
Mary now descended, her face as round
and as full as the moon, and “ wreathed
with smiles/’ “ I wish you much joy,
sir; you have got a son.” Indeed, lam
glad it is a boy.” “ Well, then, sir, it is
as" pretty *a baby as I have seen this ffiany
a day.” I gaye Mary’ half-a-cjrowh.—-

—it was shocking—hdrriblc. little

my usual habits of comparison—it seemed.
so helpless, so miserable,-and —the skin of
its face hanging loosely-t-so like a little
old man, and therefore -so ugly—that I
involuntarily turned away;
“ Well, now,” exclaimed the nurse, who
had marked the expression of my counte
nance, “what’s the matter with master?
Isn’t it a pretty little deaf?”
“No I” I replied, rather fiercely, and
walked away. My wife followed me with
her eyes—-she oomd-not;'divine the cause.
Mary and the nurse were in raptures with
the child j both affirmed .it to be so large
and so pretty, and the debtor, though not
so extravagant in his encomiums, still pro
nounced it to be a very healthy, fine boy.
“ Areryou sorry it is boftlj William ?” said
my wife, gently, whilo[|the tears were in
her eyes. I now felt the necessity df act-;
ing the hypocrite, if hdidinot wish to agi
tate, perhaps dangerously, her* whom I
really loved. I “ No, no,, Eliza, no no! my
feelings were so much excited about you /”;
I kissed her again, and went over to look

small and regular, and an-experienced eye
might easily have prognosticated that the.
child would become a child.-*-;

idea of its smallness ahd its -ugliness so

faintness and fatigue. HI
In truth, it is a great mistake which the
women commit in supposing that men gen
erally feel an interest in • new-born babies.
Whenever wo hear a happy father Chim
ing in with the glorious Uttlo
fellow—pretty little, dear—great, stout,
beautiful baby!” we set him down either
as partly a fool, or paftly enacting the
hypocrite. The feeling- of the Mother

stranger makes its appearance, and her ip--

the feeling of the Father cannot be prop

beam with intelligence, fnd a smile plays
over the face of the child*.

feet 9 inches; girth of body, 41 inches ;
girth of foreleg, IB inches; girth of neck,

his strength, that a man weighing over
200 lbs. may spring oh his back without
causing him to flinch. Ho has been ac
customed to carry a boy on his back; con

month was June, 1855, when there was
10.275 inches of water; in May, 1858, the
