A Half-Baby.

A min who has recently traveled In Ireland says that In a poor little cottage \>f two rooms he saw a married couple and seven children. Hearing a baby cry he asked to see It, and explained that he took an Interest in babies, having one at home. The infant was produced for Inspection, and the mother asked proudly: “Is yours as big as that, sttT” To which he replied, "I think It Is a little bigger.” "Instantly the Instincts of the mother were roused, and tossing her head, she said.': "So well It might be; that’s only half of ours; the other half Is with God. We had twins.”
