Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1874-05-22, Page 2bUFt. BABY. 1 I write as a son, as -a husband, and as a man of fuplly. My subject is one of the utmost importance to the married and tbad-rasing community. I believe • in Writing to the papers upon sub- • jects of fa ily interest. It is a good thing. Of course Ihave no sympathy in com- mon with t e silly people who ask for all sorts of inferination from the "family newspaper.' ' An for instance, where "a young- le an just in society" wants to - know what I e is to d.o with his napkin when he is i vited•ent to ti "swell" din- ner party, , d the editor tells him that he had bet r take the ." article in ques- tion" home d have it washed. This is absurd, of ci Oise So, too; 'aen a miss in her teens" confesses th i t she walks and flirts with a married an every night, and wants to know if t • ere is anything wrong in it That, o course, is ridiculous.. Or where "one just commenced life" writes to know what business will make him rich rn btree years, without any in vestment of capitol or expenditure of labor on his 9 art He must be an ass ! I write open no such ridiculous mat- tets. But he subject upon which I scratch thes few lines reaches every mother's hea t ; and, as you answer it, • you will ca ty joy to'many. a house- - hold. To come a it, then,—we are married. By we Ina an Iphigenia and I. I call her Pheegi " for short and as a, pat - name., But mother doesn't believe in pet names, a a d. calls her plain Iphigenia. Mother liv with us. I think it is quite an vantage:- But somehow Pheegie do&t seem to think so. I Ben the youngest f seven sons. When fath- er clied and I w'as niarriedtt my brothers said that as t ey were older than I, and had had mor Of dear mother's care, it would be onl 'fair to me to have mother spend the rest Of her life in my family..

Hew could I indorse it a 'id have the assurance to look for the length cif days prornised in the fifth comae andel:lent , But this is ot my subject. What I want to ask y ,u about is our baby. • We have go a baby. I meaaaPheegie • and I. Mot er didn't have anything to. do about it. 4 yet, if it had not been for dear moth:xi,. [don't know how • we could have go, along. Just as soon as the little thinwas a month, old mother took it to see • with her. She declared that never Wo id a wink of sleep come to her eyelids i she left that child for • young and.ine perienced parents to roll on and smOthe . • But when sh tat* our little darling in this tender w y to her grandmaternal • bosom, dear m ther said, in just so many words, that if er affection for the infant • was mitconstr ed, onif we gtudged her the playful c resses which the child might inadver wetly- bestow open her, we had only to say so much, aid she would find a h mble cot in some retired • loot, and. ther . pass her widowe1 days in praying for er beloved childr n and grandchildren. -Pheegie said " Oh, bother the hum- • ble cot-?' Bu I don't think my dear wife understa ds - mother. I thought there was so 1 ething very toualing in this display of grandmanuna's deyotion. But somehow Pheegie don't seem_ to think so.. As I said, however, we ha4'e got • a baby. He is a boy. me. 1But somehow 'Pheegie don't seern to think so. . Bu Upon my. word, I have written so much that I have but little space left to tell y u about a -little matter in our awn it baby' tende experience, which illus. trates how lit le doctors care . for other Wept 's 'children. Mother says she thiiak they get hardened. But one woul think they wouldn't. I have been after he doctor a good deal for -our, °Vete baby, but he hever seems to come with alacri y. M ther generally tells me when to go. . She thinks one cannot show too muobh care for a child—it is such grave iesponsibiity. T think so, too.at soiriehow Pheegie don't always • seem o think so. • I wonder if she really does eve ourI own baby? I spoke tb mother about it the mther night, and she said she hoped so, for it was an awful thing to thro once's own child into the teeth of Pr vidence ; ' and I thought so, to . • But now Ij certainly Joust tell you what appene . the other night. Our own bay Was sick, and mother • wante me to go for the doctor. Pheegie didn'tthink there was any use in going for hiin, but mother thought there was. Howe rer„ ramtier very frankly owned up th t the ch1d was Iphigenia's. She said t at her olicitude sprang entirely and o ly from love for the littie one, but if tha affection was irksome to Us we, •had o ly to find her a humble cot in some ietired sjot, where she would pass her w' owed d it's praying for the chil- dren aticlthen- child, and thanking God that its death did not lie at her door) Pheeme .1 -oiled over ' in bed, and said, "Ob 1 good gracious !" But I went out for the doctor. . t • It was not a good *nicht to go. It. was one of those freezy ud of nights whenithe rain becomes ice on the pave- ' ment. ' It was real hard worktogo for • the doetor. It was impossible to run. I tried to Walk fast, but I slid and slip- ped, anci slipped and slid. .And then I • would Itnanage to catch hold of a fence. and m I r legs wouid slide from under me ; and would find my face in preciselY I the colntrary direction from that in which I wanted to go. I tried the mid- ; 'die of the street, but it was very little 1 better, and. when I tried to get back to ' tlie pavement I thought I might as well • g ve up going. But then! there was our own baby perhaps at the point of death, and I hastened, slipped up, and hastened again. It must have taken me a good half- hour to reach tie doctor's house, and it is only half a mile away from mine. However, I got there at. last and rang t e bell. I ran several times. • Filially somebody opened a window, and a masculine voice wanted to know who the mischieftl was, and a feminine - voice wanted to know if I Was "Horace." I was amazed aid bewildered. The ton of the masculine voice was not familiar t my ear; and I could hardly account kit the feminine vice, as the Doctor is A widower. But I nevertheless asked if *the. Doctor was at home. At that the masculine voice suggested that I had- bettet ?lug the Doctor's door bell and find. out. It was certainly- very stupid of me to make the mistake, bat I was some - What canfused after my difficult walk, and. then was nervous as I thought of s our own baby it -home. However, I t apologised and explained, belt while I I was doing it the parties at the window , slammedj it dow . I did not feel called ' upon to ' make, a y further explanation, ,a but spr'' ine up the, doctor's steps and p pulled hishell. • . They , seemed to be sleeping pretty s soundly in that block, for I had to ring t four times before I roused the Doctor. .t He opehed the second -story window at o • last, and after suggesting that if I was w trying to jerk off his bell -pull, T had bee- e ter say So, he asked who I was. The ' Doctor is getting old and peculiar; and I d • then I don't .suppose it is pleasant to be called upon to answer a bell at 2 o'clock t in the morning. But then, ain't he paid for it ?- However, I overlooked the ref- erence to the bell -pull, and said that it was "me." .• , " ' Me .!' who the mischief's me ?" said the Doctor• . I supposed that he knew my voice; i but he alleged that he diiimot, and so T , seed that " me " was Smith. " &fah 1, what Smith?" says the doc- tor. . . • Now that was absurd ! I know that 1 the name of Smith is reasonably common ; • but the Doctor needn't try to make out I that he has nobody but Smiths on his ' list of patients. However, I answered that I was T. Aclolphul Smith" And how like a fool I felt! C nly think of having to holler . out "T. ,Adolphus Smith 1" at 2 o'clock in the morning. I f lt certain that some- body was listening t every window in the block But th Doctor; s islied whoni 1 was, said: . 'Well, what do y i u want ?" From he. way he said it one would think tha he had ben patiently 'waiting .up there'nd giving se a chance to tell. ,But I erdntt answ r curtly.. On the contra` , 11 said: " The b by is sick !" " What ,baby," sa 7a he. New, how absurd! 4s if I wou d go poking down there at tl at hour, aid through rain and ice, for ai y baby b t our own baby. Bat I nev rtheless r plied, with perhaps a touch of vexation it my tone, that the baby uncler consider tion wa.s my own baby. . "What is the says he. • • • fr•-12.1!

"Its little stomach kind Of sticks out, and mother says she thinks she feels a lump inside." "His what does what, and who feels which," roared the Doctor. How stupid! "Its stomach sticks out," says 1; mad then I heard that confounded policeman laughing. " Stieks out where ?" says the Doctor. • Now who would suppose that man was a doctor 1 "Why, in frent, to -be sure !" says 1; "and whet' I press it hard the little thing wakes up and cries."• , "What the deuce do you press it for then ?" says the Doctor. .Aud then.I heard that policeman laugh again. A matter of -life and death seem- ed to amuse him_ • By this time I had lost all patience, and so, with considerable vehemence, I said : "Doctor, our own- baby is very ill! Will you be kind enough to come to the door ?" At that he slammed down the win- dow. i, • 1 remained some mitmtes at the doo end then heard the Doctor's heavy trea in the hall. By this time I had recove ed my tempen.and was prepared to me my own medical friend very pleasanti • As soon, therefore, as he openeci th door I said : "Ah ! how are you, Doctor ?" If he bed made any antwer at all, did not catch it. I "As I was saying," says I, " abou our own baby, its little stomach stick out and mother thinks --et • While lhad been saying this, the Doc tor, acting as though he was the onl individualon the stoop, and apparentl without seeing me, and even less hearin me, had. slammed the front door an turned to go down the steps. Butmnfortunately he had shot hi coat flap into the door, whereupon h turned around, glared fiercely at me said, " There, theu, you see 1", and pro ceeded to find his night -key. , I really could not see the force of hi remark.- I was not responsible certainl for the trifling inconvenience to which h had been. subjeoted. The coat-tail extricated, the Decto ran down the steps. In my confusion had forgotten to tell him of the ice-cov erect pavement, and the next thing I sae was the Doctor, with legs spread wide part, sliding down the- gutter.' He saved himself from falling by jumping into a snow -bank. Again •he turned upomme, and again rid himself of the ridiculous ejaculation, "There, then, you see !" How petfcctly absurd! There was no ense in it. Suppose I did see. What hen? How could I help it ? With. mY usual forgiving disposition, however, I ventured to offer the doctor my arm. But all he said was something bout "a darned sight 1" •1 did not ap- rehend the whole of the sentence: We then walked along; each by him - elf, as best we could.- At last I thought hat, inasmuch as I bad gotten the dec- or out at that unseemly hour, it was nly fair that I should make his difficult alk as pleasant as possible, and so I ssayed to Converse with him. Thiuking that he might be willing to iscuss topics of national interest, I said: " What do you think of the Carpen- er bill?" "Whose carpenter bill ?" said. he. " Why his, to be sure," said L "Very well ! who is hi,s? I did not catch the name 1- I suppose I am not to blame for that, young man 1" replied my certainly not over good-natured friend. 1 " If,". continued he, "you or anybody else owed a carpenter's bill, I should ad- vise you to pay it. As for its correctness, how the mischief can I form an opiu- ' I deemed it ivises to drop issues of na- tional interest, and ventured to try a 1 oew topic. I 1 "What will this woma4's movement - amount to :1" said L ' "Who is the woman' What is the matter with her?" said the Doctor. • Now, how very stupid! 'ould not any Nntelligent person know t at I was al- ludding to- the great tenhiperanco cru- sade? , s At thil3 pint, the Doct r fell aigam, sprawling over the pavemeht. I picked him up, and we tried the Middle of •the street as somewhat safer. After giving the Doctor time to recover his temp r, -I ventured once more upon •i converse ion. I certainly wanted to break a ilence which was very tedious and unpleasant. ' "That Bismarck is engeged in a great work," said L " Wheira man once puts Church' against State his infioite intelli- gence can never predict *hat the end will be." " Who told you to come after me t� - night ?" said the Doctor, by way of re-' ItI.Y. He is also a pry bright'ehild, 'laded!. For that matte i the worthy nurse told • 8: ' ' ' Pheegie that s e did . not •know • is she nu had ever rse e brighter youn one. • OurOwn baby sixmonths oldnow, and is very hea thy.

I didn't want to be hollering out w at was the matter with our baby, so th t the whole •neigh- borhood couldbe taf rifled as to its ail- ments. Aied just the a policeman came along, stood in froot of the house, and looked at me as though. he felt sure I contemplated burglar'. People are so apt, you know, to st •nd at the front door, and ring the bell, when their de- signs are burglarious. As a matter of prec utionary eipiartae tion, but perhaps inju ciously, I )aaid to the aforesaid policeraa that I was "a]1 right." .And then he said: "What !" and then the Doctor said : 'What !" And the policeman, wl o evidently,didn't see the Doctor, said: "Row's that ?" And then the Doctor, vho evidently did n't see the policeman, aid: What the thunder are you tal g about ?"1 And then I said to the p licema.n that " said. that I was all rig t."

I think that I judged cor- ITC tly in thinking that the 'Doctor did not care to converse further on that sub- ject. "Dear mother sent me," said I, "and • I am afraid Sie regards the ease as a critical one." . "Humph!" paid the Doctor, "how long is that mother of yours going to live in your family?" This nettled me somewhat. I did not like that," that" saying: "that- mother" evideatly unp ied. something more than was disclosed.• . However. I aid, "Of course, sir my • dear mother is welcome to a place by my • fireside as long as she sees best to occu- py it. She will leave the moment she thinks we wish her to .do so.
