First Sentence:	A baby, when it first makes its appearance in this world, does not generally weigh more than seven or eight pounds.
Last Sentence:	Well, there is more loveliness, more felicity, more colic, more fizzling of milk over everything, more sleeplessness, more worry, more fret, more stomach, more bowels, more chicken-pox, more seraphic smiles, more "mother's comfort," and more total depravity, to the average square inch of baby, than there is to anything else on the footstool, and nobody who owns a baby would be without him, for Baby is King.
