Give back ray t wcntloth spring I I'd rather laugh a bright-haired hoy Than reign a gray-halred king. • Off with the wrinkled spoils of ago; Away with learning’s crown; Tear outllfo’s wisdom-written page, And dash Us trophies down. One moment let my life-blood stream From boyhood’s fount of flame! Give mo one giddy, reeling dream Of life, all love and fame ( My listening angel heard the prayer, And calmly smiling said, •* If I but touch thy silvered hair, . Thy hasty wish had sped. " But Is thoro nothing in my track To bid thee fondly stay, While the swift seasons hurry back To find sho wished for day 7” Ah, truest soul of'wbmnn kind I .Without thee what were life ? One bliss I cannot leave behind— I’ll take—my precious wife! Tho angel took a sapphire pen, And wrote In rainbow clew; ' "The man would bo a boy again, And bo a husband, too! “ Is thoro another pot unsaid Before the change appears? Remember all their gifts have fled With those dissolving years I" : Why, yes, I would one favor more, My fond paternal Joys— I could not bear to leave them all; I’ll take my girls and boys. Tho smiling angel dropped Ills pen— " Why, this wllTnover do; Tho man would bo a boy again, And bo a father, tool” And so I laughed—my laughter woke The household with its noise, I wrote my dream when morning broke, To ploaso the grey-halred boys. 4:rtifiriliattoWL PHILIPS* FIRST BIST. Mrs. Philips was on the very pinnacle of felicity. She was the mother of a boy which weighed eleven pounds. • He, Philips, bid fair to lose his mind entirely. He danced and sang, and fired guns from the top of his corn hopse, whistled Yankee Doodle while eating his breakfast, and wrung the heads off all the fowls on the place, to make a chicken pie for the celebration. This worthy couple had. been married ten years, and this was their first child. People had laughed at them ten years on account of their luck; people who were overrun with children, mm whose lives were made miserable by the scoldings and spanking they found it necessary to in flict upon their wretched little olive plants. Now, Mrs. Philips said, she guessed ihey’d laugh out the other side. There had never been so large a baby born in Bmlthfleld before. Mrs. Jones’ only weighed nine pounds and had a pug nose. Mrs Sawyer’s was red haired, and bud a mole on bis right foot—a sure sign that it would come to a bad end—and it only weighed seven pounds fourteen ounces! She guessed folks had better look at home before they laughed. Baby proved to be a Tartar. Ho bad a temper like a windmill, and seemed de termined to develop bis feet and lungs to the utmost while no had leisure, for be screamed and kicked twenty-three out of twenty-four hours, ' But bis mother declared he was an an gel. We nevercometoimaginepnangel with puffy red cheeks, heels elevated In the air, sucking a sugar teat, and being bounced about in a pillow cradle to the tune of “ High diddle dee!’’ but then our imagiuation Is not by any means so vivid as it might be. From the hour in which he was born, be was the autocrat of the household; everything had to bow at his hod.' The scullery door creaked; It was ta ken off the hinges, and the servant was in the draft all the time, because she might disturb the bady. For the same reason the coffee mill was removed into the woodshed, the dishes must be wash ed out of doors—the clatter of the plates, made the baby scream; the washing was done In the born; all the. clocks la the house were stopped; the dog was muz zled,' and the oat was choked—all from the fear of disturbing the baby. Mr. Philips paid a blacksmith, who was located within a quarter of a mile, one hundred dollars to move his shop, and Biddy was moved to the cook loft of tbe woodshed on account of snoring. The child’s diseases were legion. It was-a wonder that it could draw its breith with so many terribie.allments clingiug to it. Mrs. Philips was continually on tbe watch for some new demonstration. “ Charles 1" cried she, waking her hus band from slumber one cold winter night, “it seems to me the baby don’t breathe just right.” Mr. Philips sprang up and listened; “ Good gracious, he’s got the snuffles, ain’t he?” “ Oh, dear, what shall we do if the ba-. by Is going to be sick ?” Mr. Philips got alight, and the anxious parents brought It to bear on tbe face of their child. “ Oh, heavens!” cried his mother, “his face is actually purple! he!s golug to have tho. scarlet fever. Bee that red spot on his eibowi” “ It may be where he’s laid on It,” re marked Mr. Philips. “ Laid on it. eh 1 you unfeeling man, you unnatural father! And there, it’s sucking its thumb; I’ve known it from flint it wouldn’tlive; It sucked Its thumb so much.” 11 tieems to me that I've heard my mother say that it was a sign of a healthy child to suck its thumb, but I won't certalu. Any way, it is a good sign or bad one, I forgot Which.” “Bun, Charles, run for the doctor! It's going to die—l know It is I Oh, don’t stop to dress—don’t. It may die while you are waiting. Call Granny Bates, and tell her to bring some catnip, and suttl-on, and peppermlub-tell her to bring all the herbs she’s got! and do hurry, Charles, do 1 Morey on us I It’s sucking 'both thumbs! Bun—run 1” ■ Mr. Philips caught up the first articles of- clothing ■ he' could fay his - hands on, which proved to be his wife’s embroider dered petticoat, but he was in too much haste and oltgether too much excited to notice dress particularly. He flung the garment over his head and tied it around his waist—slipped on bis shoes and went out into the keen air. The doctor was 1 asleep, and did uot care about turning out, but on being told that It was a case of llfe or deatn, he yielded-at oncer Mr. Philips left him dressing, and sped to the residence of Granny Bates. The old lady was wise, but she was very su perstitious, and believed in warnings and apparitions. Philips gave a thundering rap at the dopr, aha directly a nightcap; ped head appeared at the Upper window “ What do you want at this time of night and who be ye?” said a cracked voice. Philips stepped out aud stood plainly revealed by the light of a dim moon. “ Good gracious, massy I” orledtheold woman, “ it’s got a scalloped petticoat on. Land! I didn’t think they wasted -their time on such vanities os they are!” “It’s a dying!” exclaimed Philips— " come down quick.” , “ Not 111 ain’t so green as to trust my old body to a supernatlonal ghost!” and down went.the window with a bang.— Philips bounded at the door until he was tired and then mode tracks for home. Dr. Gray had Just arrived. Mrs. Phil* UESDAY, JULY 4,186 T.
