One of the most nonsensical and injurious practices to irhieh the Baby is subjected, is that of bandaging. A piece of flannel, as broad as your two bands, is pinned about the abdomen of the babe, »nd drawn as tightly, usually, as the strength »f the nurse will permit, this fo done for the purpose, they wilt tell you, of preventing the sbild from "hurting itself when crying.

Guiled. His attentions appear tb hare been and reofpfoCattd by the young lady, and she became oenvinced that be was the " only man whom she eould ever love,'' if we may judge by the following communication whieh she made to John Milton, who followed the rather singular vocation of advertise iug things " lost and found" span ber Father's epjta: ".Confirmed, then I resolve Adam shall •hare with me in bliss or woe; fo dearly 1 lore Jfifn* deaths 1 could endure, without him lire no life." This being equivalent to the mode it declaration 'that the Udy is 'lilting that her lover should begin fcD" pay her board," arrangement* were immediacy made to l»ave tb« anion cbtsummated, and, in the absence of any official «le*gyman, the ceremony was performed in the moat simple and, unostentatious manner, in the beautiful garden of Eden. This auspicious moment having groom fcek tb» white and litUa band of his bride, unadorned oven by a "plain gold ring," and affectionately imprinting upon it a kiss,' rwnsfently; si^d:.*"Thjs "jf, now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh, therefore shall a man leaye,jv{ffcUk«r and mother and cleave unto his wife, and they shall be Motrdfci Dhus was Jbined'fn the holyj bonds of matrimony the first eoaple of frfaicji tnowlefge.

But Jenkins, had hi been there, would hare found it difficult to get ap a sensation article, for there was .an entire absence of all obetrusive displsy and reckless extravagance upon the occasion refreshing to eeatemplate. The outfit of the groom was plain and simple,perhaps the most noticeable thing about it being the absence of the "dress coat," prescribed for such occasions by oat best society.— The bridal eostume was marked by perfect simplicity and absence of in expensive and extravagant adornments. There must have been something very becoming in this costume, as certain ladies, in fashionable life, at tke present day .imitate it as closely as possible when in " full dress." dispensing with the practice, now so prevalent, of, io4ulgin£ in a wedding tour, and not caring publicly to proclaim themselves is newly married bjr the occupancy of the bridal cham- th« hotels anji qn steamboats, the ;hap, py couple Settled quietly down to the joys and c»re» of married lift In the gitrdou of were urttjfc«ir mad u« prefect! tag A foreigner, MJ*io*s tfMfr pr®ent fondition of Attterttftx "polftlcii recently  of a prominent Democrat whjkt jire the present principles of the Democratic party?

" CoHCKRXlKQ A. DlCTlOSART.—Mark Twain pUtS the following into the mouth of one Goon, "a nioe, bald-headed men at the hotel in Angel Camp," in the Big Tree Region of Cala»eras county, California. It was to a request for the loan of a book to enliven a rainy day, that Coon replied: f* "Well; IVe got a mighty responsible old Webster Unabridged, what there is left of it, bat they etertod her iloehing around, ancT aloehing around, and sloshing around the camp before I ever got a chance to read her myself; and next she went to Mnrphy's and from there she went to Jackass Ouleh, and she's gone to Sam Andreas, and I don't expect IH ever see that book again.— But what makes me mad is, that for all they 're so handy about keeping her sashshaying around from shanty Co shanty, and from camp to camp, none of 'em's ever got a good word for her. 'How, Coddington had her for a week, and she was too many (or »im—he couldn't spell the '-words ; he tackled some of them regular busters, ipjr'rd the middle, you know, and they throwed htm, Next, Dyer, Ac tried her a holt, but he notaldn't pronounce '«m — D/«r can hunt Cjumil or play «eren-up a* well, as any man, understand, but he cant pronounce worth a cuss; he used to worry along well enough, though, till he'd flush one of them rattlers with a clatter of syllables as long as a String of sluice-boxes, and then he'd lose his grip and throw up his hand. And so, finally, Dick Stocher harnessed her, up there at his cabin, and sweated over her, and cutsed orer her, and rastled with her as much as three weeks, night and day, till he got as far as R, and then piteetd her owi"fo 'Lige Pickerel!, and said she was the all firedest reading that everAe struck."
