She lives in a tiv: ing eny fifty miles distant from us by rail #0 that, we can go any day to see her.-- Cliza is the eldest of our family, and its pride ; 1, the youngest aud its pet. Between us came three boys, good-hearted, hones! tellows, but such a botner aw buys always are. 1 have passed a good deal of time with my sister since her marriage, and "| have always found her house such a delight ful place to vis. Edward Farrington, wy brother-in-law, is the kindest, nicest' and 1 0: agreeable of men, never teasing the lifa out of a body, like our George, and Wl end Hany. But 1 must tell you of the great event that has hieppened. My sister Eliza has a baby! Yen, a real flesh-and-blood laughing, erying little baby, though J can't make it seem « bit real. Ma says 1 needn't come hom the Cluistmas vacation, but way ko directly 10 Eliza's and see my little nephew, who, according 10.all accounts, is a most wotider- {ul chnld, something entirely unique in the way of babies ; indeed, u sort of rara avis in terra. Sweet darling ! How can] wan three long mouths 10 sel my eyes on him 7? But I suppose I must, and so will try to censole myself during this long interval by reading the ravishing descriptions altost daily seul by baby's 'wa or graudna, with an obcasional adjective thrown iu by ite papa. From these | picture to myself an angelic little creature, with perfect features, com: plexion blended ot the 1oee und the I'ly, silken hair--a tinny, pure, softy dimpled cherub in flowing musliv, reposing now | iis duinty cradle, now iu the arma of his enraptured nurse or doting grandma, anon pressed to the loving heart of his fair youog mother, ur dandled on the knee of his proud and happy futher. Hasten ou, ob Time !-- «Add impulse to thy wings." | do so wan! 10 see that dear, delightful, blessed baby * Aud do you know, they all say that J shall vame him! The very idea of taking upou myssif such a tremendous respousibil- ity, quite overwhelms me. It hauuls my thoughts by day and my dreams by wight. Is there in all our dear mothei-tounge u name, good, sweet, pretty enough for the precious darling? Whatever uame 1 give lim, he will be eure 10 make famous when he grows up, for they ull say he is a woud- erful child. Christmas Eve, -- arrived at si-ter Eliza's last evening. On wings of love wud im- puitence, 1 flew thiough the ball, up the wlaitk, 1010 the nursery ; und --oh, what a | fali from wiial thghts of yuagation, the buoyant auticipations of the past lew mouths, was there, wy countrymen! My fairy castles all vanished in a breath. Ire 1 reached the door which hid from my long- ing sight the wonder of creation, the chef d'cuvre of nature, wirific screams greeted my ears. Screams, were hey 1. No; shirieks, yells, imprecatious, 1 should say, if such coud come from a baby's lips. Tu moital terror 1 Lurstopeu the door, and there 1 saw, kicking lustily and clinching his chubby fists, u pug-tiosed, bald-heudet little monster, his purple face distorted with pas- sion, bis tiny frame seemed just teady lo burst with tbe sage to which Le vainly sougnt 10 give expression in (hoss unearthly shrieks. Edward aud Eliza were bending over heii hopeful son and heir, vauily sinving to pa- cily him, and, may I never again see such 'anxious looks vn mortal faces. | « Dido' want to be washed, did it, and *uve on its nitey-downey ? Nursey'll whip Jeuy gvery one), 'cause they buse litle sonny," suid the nurse ; but baby scorned to listen. ¢ Lovey dovey, go to sleepy- f eepy' 9 cooed Mamma Eliza ; but her woitls fell upon a hLeedless ear.

After vainly waiting an hour or more for a cessation of Lostlities on the part of my little nephew, I begged permission to retire, which was readily granted. But the clamor still uscended from the uutsery, aud pene- trated my remote chamber, Placing wy fingers 10 my care, I ted 10 go 10 sleep; Suddenly thers was a great culm. + The Laby 1s dead, thought, 1, half remorsely, and, nsing, [threw ou my, dressing gown ane weul into the nursery. o [1g€he sh 1"? whispered E'iza, her fore- finger on ber lip.

Cousin Dick isn great favorite' wnh ua all, and veed to be running into our house every day; but for the past five years we Lave seen but very httle of him. Now kis regiments ordered to the Paeifie coast, ana he comes to make us this brief visit before leaving. As we may nnver see him again, I fee! paiticularly anxious that his chort stay may be pleasant. 1 wishi that Eliza'would exert herself a little more io entertain our cousin jbatber whole heart and soul seem bound up in that baby. | 'Now, 'to Cousin Dick, Ehza was always the ype of womanly grace and !petfeetion, snd these two have loved each other like brottier' and sister. Eliza, in fact is the anty and genius of our family: The list of her acquirements and' accomphshments is! traly formudable. Now Fu only passably good looking, and nova bit smart, . I might, study and practice to the age of Methuses, never opened ; the brush and the easel are abandoned ; the favorite volumns he un- heeded upon the shelves. My sister's ex- quisite taste in dress, 100, has vanished, and her housekeeping, in which she once took such prude and delight, is sadly neglected. « One cannot attend ta; these &ittle things and tuke care of a baby," she says. Soshe leaves domestio affairs entirely to the ser- ants, and Edward sits down to his maddy coffee, heavy biscuie and burnt or half raw beet and mutton, with the patience of a martyr. The only part of the house that really looks homelike and pleasant is the nursery; but Su Baby, by his outrageous canduct renders tbat u place too uucomfor:- uble foe quiet, peace-loving bodies like myself. ! To ske my beautiful sister go about the house ali day nu cullico morning wrapper, with her lovely, curling hair plainly tucked belund her ears, is too provoking, 1 declare; bat whew I «xp stulate with ber, she says -- « Baby seems to have u pecfect antipathy to uice dresses and lresh laces and ribbons; and if 1 should urrange my hair ever so uicsly, he would be sure to pull it down.-- 11 1s impossible for me to keep tidily diess- ed while wking care of him." As | was saying our Cousin Richard came this eveniag. 1 was almost beside mysell at seeing lum, but Eliza's manner was most provokingly cool and indifferent. Her old easy aud grace in conversation seemed entirely gone, and thece was about her an anxious, preoccupied wir, telling that though hospitality und courtesy might bind ter for a ume to the parlor and Cousin Dick's society, yet inclination called her 0 the side of lier precious baby. She did not have to remain down stairs long, for she soon received a summons ® the baby's side, louder, Cousin Dick declared, than the bugle's call or the reveille of the comp. My wlaut nephew, when awake, never allows his mother to be » moment liom his side, and 1s wont 10 express lus indignation at her absence in tones more lund than musical, Junuary 3.~1 am trying wy best to en- tertain my cousin, who is given up almost entirely 0 my tender mercies.

Your husband should vever permit it. But then 1 beheve he is about es much a marys to that enfant terrible as you." « My husband and myself find our high- est happiness where our duty leads," replhi- ed Eliza, with great dignity. «Is it your duly to bury every mental aspinalion, every social enjoyment and to sink thus hopelégsty into a miserable slough of sell-sactifice?' Hus society, has the great outward workl no tlaim upon you?" . Eliza made no reply, but aller a long puusé, COusiu Dick' suid slawly wud anos: emphatically : -- + That baby has robbed me of the dearest cousin 1 ever had, and / hate him." + So do 1, most mtensely, if Tam his aunt,' echoed 1. Just then Eliza received the wsval per: smplory 10 the nursery, sid wem up stairs, 'saying to herself--+ Mamma soves her Mttle baby, il'its uaughly cousiu and aunty do hate it.* But baby was far from beiog wn a loveable mood just then ; loug and loud, peal ou peal bis, screams resounded through the house. t « Your nephew Laos brazen, throat and leathern lunge," ail Cousin Dick; as we both pot our fingers in our ears.

Well, converse we did, and the main topte of vur conversation was the usual one in that house--1ihe baby.

At length, refreshments having been sel bufore us, my covsin proposed the well known toast of Charles Lamb's, vnder the much maligned King Herod? drank it, and. this capped the climax of eur sins against Eliza' baby.

Baby seemed to compre- lend the situation ut a glance, and gave a loud crow of satisfaction. He knew he had driven me away, and was glud of it. "Kise aunty good-bye, sonny," said Edward. -- My nephew being just at that momeat in a gracious nood, I bent my head for the kiss, when oh, whut horror! there was a tramendous grab at my waterfal-- that wat- erfall, the sublime work of art, which had ocoupied a full hour of my precious time that morning, aud | am so partieular ubout my hair! Down fell the splendid structure, and as the baby gazed on the min he had wrought, he aluwst went wild wih exuits- tion. « Isnt he cunning 7" said Eliza, admir- ingly and approvingly. + Aunty shan't wear those hideous things, shall she 2 We'll poll em down for her, wou't we sonny ?"' exclaimed Edward, tri- umphautly tossing the young vandal alolt in his urms. With 1ibbous awry and bair streaming down ny shoulders, I hastily said good-bye aud rushed down staite to the cariage, ai- tended by my sympathizing Cousin Dick.
