"Oh~ whatever shall we do';" said Unvoting wife, as she took her offspring and tried to soothe him; "whatever shall we do?"
Thev were very young, and. it was their 'first baby,'mid really, if thills had gone on for another hour as they had during the last, it is an open question which would have gone into convulsions first—father, mother, or baby. - I'll fetch mother." cried the vouna fellow at last; "she'll know what to do." Presently he returned, dragging the good old mother with him, almost breathless with haste and oveiwi-ue wilh apprehension. Putting on/her spectacles, she regarded the infant critically for a moment, and then said, " lie wauls feeding!" •■There!" cried the young father, excitedly, u w\ both knew the little beg I gar wanted something, but neither of lis could tel, what it was."
