AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION.
.John Smith—you've heard of him—is
very bashful; is too bashful in truth. Ile
was born and raised in the country. llis
father gave him a good education and
allows him plenty of money. Tilt John,
with all other attainments, never could
accustom himscli to the society of females,
not because he did not like the girls, but
because his shy nature would not permit
hint to associate with the fair sex. It once
happened, not very long ago either, that
John's tatlit,r had some very important
business to transact in the city. lie also
had some very particular aflhirs to attend
to at home, which demanded his personal
attention, and not possessing the power
of übiquity, he delegated his son .John to
transact that in the city.
John," being thus commissioned, im
mediately proceeded to the city and to the
residence of his father's old friend, whom
he found to be a very nice old gentleman,
with a beautiful daughter, and gold spec
tacles.
John was ushered into the parlor (a new
thing for him,) and motioned to a scat—
no ! a sofa (another new thing).
J3ut we must use his own language:
I took my seat and made observations.
Everything was flue! Fine carpets, fine
sofas, fine tables, fine curtains, fine books,
tine pianos, line everything, and especially
a tine young lady, who was dressed in fine
silk, ime satin, and who had fine curls,
and a tine appearance generally.
After chatting with the old gentleman a
few minutes, he took down his hat,•told
me to make myself at home for an hour or
two and left—left me alone with his daugh
ter and a small, mischievous boy, the
young lady's brother. I didn't relish the
situation at all. The idea of keeping a city
belle engaged in conversation for two
hours; perdition! Silence reigned in the
parlor for a short time, you may bet. I
amused myself as much as possible with
the boy—that is I loaned him my knife
and watch key, and watched him cut holes
in the carpet with one, and spoil the other.
I don't know what I would have done had
it not been for that boy—he was so good
to attract one's attention, you know.
It's true, he asked some startling ques
tions, occasionally, such as this, for in
stance: "Are you goin' to court sister
Emily?" but such things must be expect
ed under such circumstances.
Miss Emily, thinking no doubt, that to
be a good hostess she must keep her guests
engaged in conversation, asked me " how
I liked country life," etc. She said that
"it must be a beautiful sight to see the
laborer s, male and female, romping on the
new mown hay on New Year's day; that
she always did think she would like to spend
a Christmas in the country a nut gather
ing with the village lads and lasses; that
it always had been a mystery to her how
they got eggs off the trees without break
ing them.
In return, I thought to keep up my
part of the conversation, it was necessary
for me to quote poetry and the like, which
I did. Among other quotations, I unfor
tunately repeated the well-known lines of
Shakepeare:
"There'd a divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough-hew them as we will."
At this juncture, the boy, who had
perched himself upon my knees, looked
very earnestly in my face and said:
" Divinity shaped the end of your nose
mighty curious."
I'm certain that I wished somebody
would spank the young rascal. We talked
of hills, mountains, vales, cataracts—l be
lieve I said waterfalls, when the boy spoke
up and said:
Why, sister's got a trunk full of 'em
up stairs—papa said they are made out
of hose hair.
This revelation struck terror into me
and blushes into the cheeks of my fair
companion.
It began to be very apparent to me that
I must be very guarded in what I said,
lest said boy might slip in his remarks at
uncalled for places; in fact I turned my
conversation to him. I told him he ought
to go home with me, and see what nice
chickens we had in the country. Un
luckily I mentioned a yoke of calves my
brothers owned. The word calves ruined
all. The little *Bow looted up and said:
"Sister's got a dozen of 'em, but she don't
wear 'em only when she goes up in town
o' windy days."
" Leave the room, you unmannerly little
wretch!" exclaimed Emily; "leave im
mediately!"
" I know what you want me to leave
for, replied he . ' "You can't fool me—you
want to set in that man's lap and kiss him
like you did Bill Simons the other day—
you can't fool me, I'llest tell you. Gimme
some candy like be di d ; then 0. You
think because you've got the Grecian bend
that you're smart. I know a thing or
two. lam mad at you, anyhow, 'cause
pap would a bought me a top yesterday,
if it hadn't been for your getting them
curls, doggone yer! You needn't turn so
red iu the face, 'cause I can't see it for the
paint. There ain't no use in winkin' at
me with that glass eye o' yourn, 'cause I
ain't goini outla here, now that's what's
the matter with the purpe. I don't care
if you are twentraght years old, you
ain't no boss of mine, you old fool."
That is all of the story that John re
lated. Ile says he don't know how he
got out of the scrape.
DID NOT DANCE.
There are persona in Illinois who have
the proper reverence for places of public
worship. One of this class having had
the misfortune to be detained in Chicago
over Sunday, slowly sauntered down Wa
bash Avenue in the hour of morning ser
vice. Arrived at the Church, and
stopping a moment, the organist com
menced playing one of those lively com
positions with which the performance , '
of religious service is now generally com
menced. Just then a gentleman passinfr
into the church invited him to enter and
take a seat.
"Not exactly, mister," replied our
friend; "I ain't used to such doin's on
Sunday; and, besides, I don't dance !"
A BACHELOR ON BABIES.
It is difficult for a bachelor to under
stand what there is in a baby to admire,
or to love, No doubt babies are a wise
provi-ion of nature ; but I have always
titneied she would have been wiser if she
had furnished the article in a more ad
vanced state.
Women have said that our sex is uncn
einrable from the time they leave off Liss
ing us as babies and begin to kiss us as
men. Those women were certainly half
right.
Het:pectin , ' feminine babies, only those
are agreeable who are sixteen and up
wards ; and they are quite as much ba
bies then as when the poles of filar little
lives are paregoric and teething-rings.
*w
What is there, what can there 1 4 lin
terest in a baby, properly su ' ill,
some one tell me P I have . dill'
gently pondering the question for twenty
years, and to no purpose. I have even
gone to see babies, regardless of sex and
convenience, to discover, if possible, the
secret of their charm. Their beauty- and
wonderfulness were told me beforehand ;
but when I stood in their crimson pres
ence, anxious to be delighted, they only
sought to astonish me with such necro
mantic feats as swallowins , their own
tists—feats which I, with the taint of
original sin, recreated they never quite
succeeded in. When I went very near
them, or attempted by magnetic manipu
lation to quiet the roar of anger and de
fiance my society caused, they insist ‘d
upon pulling put my hair,wi , 111filidil
newt was supartluously 1 pilot
b!flg ,the sodlits of my Ilf,- - lii*,tlM
chernbic fingeA.
I pity babies from my inmost soul--I
always did ; but I cannot like them—for
they arc not Ilkmble. They must suffer,
poor little creatures ; if they .did not
they would not keep up such an infernal
noise.
Babies don't want to be born, I am
confident ; I remember I didn't, but I
wasn't consulted • If I • had been I
shouldn't have beim.bare. When babies
are dragged from delicious tiettrftnefis:
and poetic , chaos—so the Voiiiiiten testa. ,
ings run—into a feverish atissems„
posed of of flannel, and soothintsyrup, and
horrid old nurses, it is not singhiar they
protest against the change, and clamor to
be taken back.
I sympathize with them fully. Those
were my foelins exactly, and I've felt
cheated ever since I opened my infant
eves, and saw what an unpleasant world
I had gotten into. I struggled to return
through the medium of measles, summer
complaint and scarlet fever; but not one
of them would take me, much as I wanted
to go. Several other babies, whose ac
quaintance I made subsequently, were
luckier than I. The measles gave them
a return ticket, and, as I've seen nothing
of them since, I conclude they liked the
other place best.
Babies arc not to blame for being disa
greeable ; they can't help it. They want
to be let alone and kept out of sight, if
they are well bred ; but their foolish pa
rents won't let them have their way, un
less the word is differently spelled. The
unfortunate babies must be taken into the
light, and looked at, and criticised, and
poked in the ribs, and asked to laugh a
little. The idea of laughing under such
circumstances 1 Crying is much more
natural and they cry, of course. Who
wouldn't ? To put a sensitive and sensi
ble baby on exhibition, and insist on it
playing a comedy part with a dozes pins
in its flesh, and several doses of medi
cine internally, revealing the ignorance
of physicians, is much like insisting that
a bereaved son should dance a horn
pipe at his mother's funeral.
Nor are babies bound to resemble their
father, or mother, or bothat a time. They
must hal* confused notion what their
personal appearance is after being assured
they are exact counterparts of their
parents,aunts,uncles,grandfathers, grand
mothers, and all their contemporaneous
relatives. The truth is they don't look
like anything in particular but themselves.
Babies are an abused raee. All man
ner of vrrongis put upon them. They are
compelled to make bores and sitnpletons
of themselves on every possible occasion,
by parents who seem to consider that
parenthood, the commonest thing' in na

cause for pride. What miracles, 4W:others
