What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and light verse** rather than political satire. The main content is "Sebastian Morey's Baby," a sentimental rural dialect poem (credited to S.W. Foss in the Yankee Blade) celebrating fatherhood. A farmer defends his infant son against a critic who calls babies "a tarnal bother," describing the child's laughter and joy in elaborate pastoral metaphors—comparing giggles to brooks and birdsong. The poem celebrates sentimental Victorian ideals of childhood innocence and paternal devotion. The surrounding content consists entirely of **period advertisements** for consumer goods: Epps's Cocoa, safes, traveling bags, pens, crackers, and various services. There is no political commentary or satirical cartoon visible on this page. This appears to be a standard Judge issue mixing light verse content with commercial advertisements typical of late 19th-century American magazines.

SEBASTIAN MOREY'S BABY. * Babies is a tarnal bother an’ nuisance, anyhow,” ‘Thet’s w'at I heerd a feller say ; it made me bile, I vow. ** What kin’ er devil be ye to talk sich stuff ez that?” I looked for hoofs beneath his boots, an’ horns below | his hat. An’ I waltzed up to the scoundril ‘ith my fist high in the air, To plow a furrer thro’ his face an’ plant my digits there ; “Guess yer haven't seen my baby, for he'd thaw yer frozen soul ; He's a crawlin’ lump er sweetness spilled from heaven's ‘own sugar-bowl !” Sez he, ‘There ain't much sweetness in a howlin’ kid, | T swear, Like a ten-horse-power calliope screechin’ at the county fair. Sez I, “Our boy's a howler, an’ knows how to use his voice, An’ jest lifts up his loud bazoo an’ cracks the air ‘ith noise. “But his laughter’s like a hidden spring that's jest be- | neath the crust, - So full of everlastin’ joy ‘twill bubble up an’ bust ; He carols like a bobolink that's drunk ‘ith mornin’ air, Jest tipsy ‘ith the joy er life an’ full of I-don’t-care ! “* His giggle’s like a brook that flows thro’ pussy-willer trees, | All filled ‘ith tumblin’ pollywogs and thronged ‘ith honey bees ; An’ his eyes is jest as full er fun as yer heart is full er | spite. It jest spills out an’ slops aroun’, light ! n’ fills the house ‘ith “You jest come up an’ see my boy, I think yer heart will melt ; An’ if yer hide ain't thicker than a rhi-o-nocerous’ pelt, Wren he pulls yer ol’ red whiskers ‘ith them stubby han's er hisn, He'll pull yer starved an’ locked-up soul completely out er prison !” —S.W, Foss in the Yankee Blade. “* Bad Breaks" is the title of a little book in the hands of the American News company and printed by Van Rensselaer & Company of this ety. It treats of dress at the table, in manner, in speech, etc., and assumes to be the work of one of the 400. The information and suggestion are given in brief, snappy sentences, and the book deserves and will doubtless have a large sale. AT THE DENTIST'S. My bosom was the universe, My soul the surging sea, Whose roaring billows of content Leaped heavenward with glee. And far above their feathery foam, Where stars with planets cope ‘To brighten their celestial dome, Gleamed thousand orbs of hope. My heart swelled till it filled the space Between the earth and sky, Stil one brief prayer could find no place Within its walls to lie ; So on through the ethereal clime My anthem prayers did flee, Resounding ‘tween the walls of time ‘And of eternity, ‘Then heav'n was mine and mine the world, ‘And mine the stars and sun ; And on through endless space were hurled My planets, one by one. ‘The tempest shook his ruffled mane ‘And charged down at my feet ; Grim death arranged his funeral train, Wound in his funeral sheet. All powers above and all below, Save mine, then ceased to be, And as I cleft with but one blow ‘The earth from sea to sea— ‘The waters, from amazement, could Not pass the smallest ledge, And petrified the billows stood pon the ocean's edge. ‘The lightning was a harmless toy, Too weak to singe a hair, And all the thunders could destroy No strain of music there, My strength, alas! how quickly was Tt won and lost! forsooth The laughing-gas gave out just as ‘The dentist pulled my tooth.
