Ilow shoubl you like to tire yourself out crawling away across the carjiet, to pick up a pretty button or pin, and have it snatched away, as soon as you begin to enjoy it? I tell you it is enough to ruin any baby’s temper. How should you like to have your mamma stay at a party till you were as hungry as a little cub, and bo loft to the mercy of a nurs(*, who trotted you up and down till every bone in your body ached? How should you like, when your mamma dre.s.sed you up all pretty to take the nice, fresh air, to spend the afternoon with your nurse iu some smoky kitehen, while she go.ssips with one of her cronies? How should you like to submit to have your toes tickh'd b\- all the little children who insisted up- -on “seeing baby’s feet?” How should you like to have a dreadful pain under your apron, and have everybody call you “a little cross thing,” when you couldn’t speak to tell what was the matter with you? How should you like to crawl to the top of the stairs, (just to look about a little,) and pitch heels over head from the top to the bottom':' Oh, 1 can tell you it is no joke to be a babyl such a thinking as we keep up; and if we try to tind out anything, we are sure to get our brains knocked out in the attempt. It is very trying to a sensible baby, who is in a hmry to know every thing, and can't wait to grow up. Europt'tn fashions.—Letters from Paris state that the extrav.agance in dress for the last winter will be outdone by the magnificence of the toilet tes in preparation for the approaching season. Enormously expensive toilettes are not confined to the older members of society; the juvenile part of the beau-monde is loaded with velvets, em broideries, flounccs and feathers. As an instance of the vanity and extravagance of private families in Paris, we may cite an instance in which a bap tismal dress of an infant has been prepared, of exquisite embroidery and lace, at an expense of eighteen thousand dollars. The establishment where these tiny articles were produced has been thronged with lady visitors to see the rich and costly dress iu which the little creature is to re nounce the pomps and vanities of the world th.j .\iiit ri. an p.' p'e-.
