The following letter, which bears internal evi dence of being a bona fide epistle, was picked op in one of onr streets yesterday : . ; , ..' , V ; r, UtiCA, May 12, 1850. , Brother and Sister Stebbins We hare got a live baby at our house, a little girl baby that's so. How I wish this migbt find you in the same situation. You know I always wished you well. But our baby is none of your common babies. Sho laughs and cries) so pretty you can have no idea how handsome she is. Tt is decided by the best ' of judges (her mother and me) that she is tbe handsomest child that ever lived ; and everybody says, what a pretty child, how much she looks savs like her father;" children will resemble their parents you know. I Wouldn't take twenty dol lars fur -her ; no sir, no temptation. Perhaps you . think I'm a fool. Who cares gxtess you'd be a '; fool if you had such a baby. I wish your domestic affairs would come to a crisis, (cry sis) - Your must excuse all mistakes, for I'm so deiighted and trans- ported that' I expect there is a right smart chance that I may go crazy. - . .. - ' : .. Whj you can't think how I acted the day the little stranger came along. Miss Broad man and I were the attending, physicians, and what siie didn't know I didn't either. Felt a little consid erable scared, looked for my hat two, three several times; and wonderd how far it 'was to Texas. But after the excitement was over wasn't I tick led some. If it hadn't been for that white hat of mine I couldn't have told which end myheadra3 on l went up stairs a dozen times or less after my hat- went aud looked at the baby and fortrot it every time Sold a man some goods on ' tick" apd charged him " to 1 baby sixpense per- IfcV' lut I'm calmer now'; think I -shall entirely re cover. Begin to think that baby aint such a cun ning affair after all. It's quite a night institution. It takes one half of the bed, and right in tbe middle, and I have to sleep all round on the edges. Can't roll over and kick as .1 used .to- might wake up the baby And if I jnst happen to roll bnthe little thing in the night, then there's a fuss for'imy wife would make a great ado if I should kill that ba3r. She sleeps with one eye open." " I'll tell you about how I get along nights. The other night I went to bed as usual, got into ft snooze, when . my wife called " John ! John-! there's a mouse in my band-box, and it will ruin my bonnet." Well, I roll off the bed rail and make a wake for the band-box. Mouse takes1 the. hint and leaves and I balance myself on the bed rail again, go to sleep, and dream of the old song which says, 44 bless me, this is pleasant, riding on a rail.'' But soon. I am awakened by my wife (watchful creature) calling John ! I guess that mouse is in the lower bureau drawer, where all the baby's things are." ' ' ' So up I get" once more and make a plunge for the bureau, and mouse leaves as usual, while I like the Quaker, wish for some profane person to d- n that mouse Well I get on the rail onco more and dream of sending an order to Chicago for mouse traps.. Well I dream away awhile, till Lam once moreawakened bythe -old familiar call, "John! John! the babywants tending to." Well I sit up aud hold, the light while she -well, no matter, you know what I mean. " The next morning 1 have to. be careful in using j the towels, for "all is not golfl that glitters." Buti I must keep still and stand it all for the dear lit tle baby, mother's little precious lamb.' . . Good bye ; yours as much as posssible. - j - Djgiiton. P. S". Our baby's name is Fanny Louisa.
