THE BABY SHOW.
BT BENEDICT BACH, ESQ.
Does your heart with joy o'erflow,
Qod hath mado your child so fair !
. Send it to the Baby Show,
I And at time of household prayer
Lift your hearts and voices up.
. Pray that it may win "the cap,"
Either by its bc&utioas eyes,
Or its super-baby siie,
Or its glorious golden tresses,
" Or the smile its mother blesses,
. Or some other charm or feature,
Of the darling little creature !
'- Has yonr dansrhter won the prize?
Hang it up before her eyes;
Sure 'twill teach her iufaet mind
To be humble, modest, kind ;
Make her gentle, womanly
' Everything a girl should be;
As a prize-boy-baby's medal-wife,
Or has your noble little son .
The meed ot fat or beauty won?
. When old enough to go to schocl,
." If becomes back a drivelling fool,
Made so by cruel gibe and jest
Rankling within his manly breast,
.... Then amuse his idiot eyes.
With the hard won glittering "prize"
Mere hopeful far from stranded wreck.
With heaviest millstone round his neck.
The chance to stem the ocean's strife,
Than, launched upon the sea of life
' To safely reach tee '-Isle of Man,"
Burdened with Barnum's baby-ban.
That medal weighing down bis foul
In vain for him the seasons roll
Dwarfed, be ne'er so wise or good
Doom'd to pe rprtual bvbyhood ! '
But should it please the God who gave
The angel infant in yonr arms,
' From ignominious life to save
The baby of the medal charms,
- How sweet to write upon its tomb
- Lo ! God hath called our baby home ;
Our baby, who, at Bar nnui'i show,
With forty others in a row,
- Besides a giantess as tall
" As mother Eve before the fall,
' For four long, tedious, glorious days,
' Was held before the admiring gaze
. Of male and female, gentle, rude,
; Thievish and honest, bad and good,
Whoever tould command a quarter,
'Could crittaize our son or daughter;
Point but their points, canvass their chances,
i Witness their hary circumstances;
rSe the prise baby get its dinner
Like any common little sinner ;
, While mamma' with a modest air,
Unveils her bosom "then and there."
Earaum can scarce restrain the applause.
- And Wood exclaims, "How well he draws '."
r But baby's dead and buried here,
And wo should shed full many a tear,
But blessed but .' we've got the prize
Its glitter dries our dewy eyes;
f And while we linger here below,
Its gleam shall gild this vale of woe;
And when we join our babe in glory,
Doubtless they will have heard the story,
'And greet us with a loud "Huzza !
"Herb comes prize-baby's pa asd ma1."
Ax ec dote tor Farmers. Wc have seldom
read any thing more sensible or appropos than
the following remarks and anecdotes from that
excellent contemporary, the Maine Farmer,
illustrating the importance of the proper care
of stock :
. Wo may send to England for Dnrhara cows,
or to t Spain and Germany for the choicest
sheep; we may search the world over for cat
tle that please the eye ; but unless they re
ceive tho best caro and liberal feeding, they
will most assuredly deteriorate, and eventual
ly become as worthless and unworthy of propa
gation as any of the skeleto n breeds that
taunt our rich but neglected pasture lands.
"We cemember an anecdote in point, and will
relate it by way of illustration.
A farmer having purchased a cow from a
country abounding in the richest pasturage,
upon taking her to his own inferior pastures,
found that she fell short of the yield which he
was informed she accustomed to give. He
complained to the gentleman of whom he had
purchased, that the cow was not the one he
bargained for, or, in other words, that she wab
not what she "was cracked up to be."
"Why.", said the seller, "I sold you my
covr, but did not sell you my pasture too."
' The above, .which we cut from an exchange,
reminds us of a reply which a shrewd old far
mer, whom we knew many ye?.rs ago, made to
one of Isis neighbors. The latter had obtain
ed some pigs of a man residing several niPes
off, and who, because intelligent, particular
ly surpassed Lis neighbors in raising. Short
ly after, meeting the old geutleman referred
to, he says :
- "Well. Mr. Sweester, I'm going to beat you
raising hogs this year ; I've got some of J
M- 's breed."
"A-a-h," bawled out the old man, you had
better get the breed of his hog trough !"
. Wild Frcits is Australia. In this country
there is an almost total absence of wild fruits
There is scarcely a nut, berry, or wild fruit of
any kind. No apples, no plums, no grapes.-
There is a species of cranberry, the fruit of
which grows under the plant, but this is ex
rremely rare; and there is a fruit called the
qnandong, which has a large stone, and seem
to resemble a plum. Edible roots are as few
In fact, except a very rare sort of fungus,
growing in the ground, called native bread,
which the natives roast and eat, and the small
root called the murmong, the natives have no
vegetable food. But it is a country which
takes kindly to any fruit, root or vegetable
that civilized man brings into it ; aud will
donbtless, one day, be as affluent in all these
riches of nature as any land on the globe.
The peach flourishes; the same is the case with
the Tine and the fig. Scientific American.
'.Patrick's Wardrobe. At a sale of furni
ture which took place in a country town,
among the lookers on were a few Irish labor
ers, and upon a trunk being put up for sale
one of them said to his neighbor :
"Pat, I think you should buy that trunk."
"An what would I do with it ?" replied Pat,
with some degree of astonishment.
"Put your clothes in it," was the adviser's
reply. '-; - -
Pat gazed upon him with a look of surprise,
and then with that laconic eloquence, which is
peculiar to a son of the Emerald Isle, exclaim
ed "An go naked !"-
KPaddy being told the price of bread had
fallen, exclaimed, by the piper o' war, this is
the first time I ever rejoiced at the fall of a
good friend." " "
D It is time farmers should commence
building shelters lor their stock, as winter is
approaching, r ". . ; ! " ; .'- r
Mean Stories.
Lawyers have thuir puns on mense profits,
and perfumers theirs on the celebrated Chi
nese soap, known as Meen Fun, but I mean to
tell you about mean men.
That was a mean Dutchman that flans Karg.
He had one beautiful Madonna looking daugh
ter, who no more resembled him than does the
flower the root.
'Hans, how on earth do you keep the pota.
toes from freezing V asked a neighbor one
morning.
Fy, I makes Caroline shleep on de bota
toes,' answered Hans, dat keeps dem from
freezin' !"
There was a man who came into a store with
an egg, which he w ished to trade for a darning
needle. To obli ge him the storekeeper agreed
to the trade. The bargain over, the egg-dealer
asked, 'Don't you always treat when you've
driven a tjade ?'
Not for so small a trade,' he answered.
A trade's a trade, whether it's for one egg
or a thousand-'
Aghast at the man's meanness, the store
keeper complied, and asked,
'What will you take ?'
'I like a glass of wine, with an egg beat up
in it,' answered the mean man.
The storekeeper said nothing, but took the
egg which he had just received from the man,
and broke it. It happened to be a doublo
yolked egg.
'There!' exclaimed the mean man. 'Now
you must give me luo needles, 'cause that's
a double egg I gin you.'
And that was a very mean youth who defined
love as 'a prodigal desire on the part of a
young man to pay some young lady's board.'
Aud there was Hugo Ilimmelman who made
his wife dig potatoes to pay for the marriage
license. 'Lawyer,' said Uncle Dick to me at
once, I must tell you that story of Hugo, for
its not a bad one ; and good stories like pota
toes, ain't as plenty as they used to be when I
was a boy. Hugo is a neighbor of mine, tho'
considerable older than I be, and a mean neigh
bor he is too. Well, when he was going to
get married to Gretchen Kulp, he goes down to
Parson Rodgers, at Digby, to get a license.
'Parson,' says he, what's the price of a
license V
'Six dollars,' sa3s he.
Six dollars V said Hugo i 'that's a dreadful
sight of money. Couldn't take no less V
No,' says he, 'that's what they cost me at
tho Secretary's office, at Halifax.'
'Well, how much do you ax for publishing
in church, then V .
Nothing,' says the Parson.
Well,' says Hugo, 'that's so cheap I can't
expect to give no change back. I think I'll
be published. How long does it take ?'
Three Sundays.'
'Throe Sundays,' saj-s Hugo, 'well that's a
long time too. But three Sundays ouly make
a fortnight after all; two for the covers and one
for the inside like ; six dollars is a great sum
of money for a poor man to throw away. I
must wait.
So off he went a-jogging towards home, and
looking about as mean as a new sheared sheep,
when, all at once., a bright thought came into
his head, and back he went as bard as his
hors3 could carry him.
'Parson,' says he, 'I've changed my mind.
Here's the six dollars. I'll tie the knot to
night w ith my tongue that I can't undo with
my teeth.'
Why, what in nature is the meaning of all
this V said the Parson.
'Why,' says Hugo, 'I've been C3phering it
out in my head, and its cheaper than publish
ing the bans, after all. You s.;e, it's potato
digging time, if I wait to be cillcd in church
htr fuher will have her work for nothing, and
as hands are scarce, an 1 w iges high, if I mar
ry her to-night she can begin to dig to-morrow,
and that will pay for the license, and just
seven shillings over, for there ain't a man in
all Clements that can A and crry as many
bushels in divas Gretchen can. Andbesidts
fresh wives like fresh servants work like smoke
at first,but they get sarcy and lazy alter awhile.'
The Phrenologist Posod.
An itinerant phrenologist was passing thro'
one of our New Engltnd villages, stopping at
each house he passed, in hopes of making his
scientific acquirements the means of putting a
stray quarter into a pocket-Hook which was
far from being plethoric. Among others, he
stopped at a rustic farm-house, the proprietor
of which was busily engaged hi the backyard,
in splitting up wood for consumption , in the
approaching winter. The old farmer did not
take much notice of our phrenologist, who af
ter watching the axe ascend and descend a few
times ventured to broach the object of his vis
it, by saying 'Sir, I am a phrenologist.
Would you like to have me examine the heads
of your children ? I will do it cheap.'
'Wall,' said the farmer, pausing between
two strokes, 'I rayther guess they don't need
it. The old woman combes 'em vcith the Jine
toolh comb, once a week !'
' The phrenologist cast a look of mingled pi
ty and indignation upon the man who had so
misunderstood the nature of the science which
he professed, and went on his way, a sadder
but not a richer one.
KF- "Mother," said Mrs. Partington's Ike
"here's a word in this ere paper I can't make
out."
"Spell it child."
"Sag A'lcht s."
; "Sag Nits, sunny; what does it say about
era?"
"It says they started in old Kentucky and
are spreading all over." .
"Dear on us," said tho old lady, "the world
must be comin to an end! Chintz bugs, and
cut worms and loensta was bad enough; but
here must come filthy things the sage nits.
No sassengers for this year, Isaac, and Mrs.
Partington sighed.
