NO CHILDREN. BT wj 0. KATOK. i Mr. and Mrs. Bidge and Mr. and Mrs. Badge were next door neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Bidge j had eight children four boys and four ghU; but the Badgt s haa neither chick nor child. Disappointment and discontent are the com- . mon lot of mortals. The Bidges were mortal so w ere the Badges, and discontent! reigned'su pretne in the Bidge house, while disappointment was the prevailing feature in the dwelling of the Radges. I The fact was, that Mrs. Bidge hated children, and in turning herself into a Bidge 6he had got I more than she had bargained for. Sad was Mr. ; Bidge to contemplate the lack of maternal affec- tion which was evinced by his wjfe " Ain't they your own children !n he would ! ask, jiathetically. 'j' " No they ain't ; they are yours T she would i spitefully reply ; " I never wanted any. It is your own fault." There was no answering a remark like. that,;, i. and Ridge, like a Christian, put up with the : taunt, partly perhaps because he ! thought he deserved it, and at any rate because he couldn't help it. Mrs. Bidge said she couldn't help it, ! and of course the little Bidgas couldn't and so there they were, a family of Bidge martyrs, en veloped in a daily cloud of discontent. ' ' Disappointment was the feeling that knocked ; the daylight out of the happiness of the Badges. -They were an honest, frugal, strajghl-foi ward, philoprogenitive, hard-working coiiple, and it; would give us pleasure to record that they were destined to multiply a virtuous posterity, had such been the agreeable fact; but it cannot be 1 disguised any longer that the Badges had been i married for ten years, and had appeared to pay , no more regard for their country's! census than if they had been foreigners, resolved to take no part in swelling the ranks of native Americans. vliut ,weJEtrJ iMtiilier leipj j PJV rai rtiwi hop or hling ourselves at" conclusioos.-"- "WW should aj.proach them carefullv by a reasoning process, and when we investigate this matter of i the Badges, with the scarcity of their lalwls, and that the sole reason why they fell shoit of: the true matrimonial mark, was the same as that which prevents the poor from becoming rich they were not able. ' The perver-ity of mortals is past all bearing. They are always grumbling at their situations. The Badges grumbled because they had no children ; the Bidges because they had ; and if the Bi lges had been the Badges and the Badges the Ridges, no doubt they would hare grumbled just as much.' Such unreasonable people de serve t) be made examples of, and here we do it and exose them, right in print and in public One of the severest trials of Mr. Badge was to sit in his parlor, with a back window open, and see Mrs. Badge lookiDg out into toe back yard of the Bidges, praising the little Bidges at play, and enjoying the good fortune of jtheir parents in having them. It seemed to him as if Mrs. Radge did it to tantalize him. This was on charitable in Badge, j ' - ' O, comjxTo see i" the little Bidges! 0,do Five years hive flown.
