HIN SHOES AND CONSUMPTION,

THIN SHOES AND CONSUMPTION.
The New York Signal notices in terms
of praise, the ladies' walking dresses for
the present season, and censures, in pro.
per language, the open work stockings
and thin slippers, that are worn by the
same gentle beings. The present appears
to US an opportune moment for saying
word or two on the subject. If our fair
readers should happen to have any bro
theirs or other male relatives addicted TO
the practice of wearing pumps or light
shoes during the winter, they would be
among the first to raise the voice of cen.
sure and rebuke. And yet, how many Of
them commit acts Of folly and termeri.y
equally culpable They seem to forget
that the ruddy bloom of health, the full
round cheek and sparkling eye, are among
the chief requisites of beauty and that
these can only be preserved by the pro.
per attention to those indspensables-
shoes and stockings-cspecially during
damp and cold weather. Not week
goes by, that consumption does not bear
away some fair victim. The records OF
ancholv admonilions on this head. Each
year chronicles the decease of hundreds
in our principle cities, and thousands
throughout the Union. 1t is conceded by
medical men, and admitted indeed by ma.
ny OF the victims themselves, that slight
cold, induced in the first place by thin
shoes, and cotton or silk stockings, was
the foundation of disease. Ministers oc.
casionally allude to the subject from the
pulpit. The press ever and anon utters a
solemn warning, while parents but fire.
quently, when too late, shed tears of Bit
terness and regret, over youth and beauty
untimely nipped, and hurried even in the
spring time Of life TO the shadowy regions
Of the tomb.
Again, then, we adjure such Of the gen.
tie sex as may peruse this paragraph, to
be warned in time. Health is the most
invaluable Of all blessings; without it,
life is cherries void and health can
only be preserved by attention, as well to
shoes and stockings, as to the other essen
tlal articles of winter apparel. Parents
could do much by way Of preventive,
in introducing thick and substantial shoes
to the attention of their daughters in early
life. Let them once become accustomed
to such luxuries, and they will pay less
attention 10 the health. destroying tyranny
| Of ridiculous fashion.

MERCY that he had very pleasing inter-
view with the Emperor of Russia, at his
palace at Psarskoe Zelo, and had dined
with the royal family. Ills Majesty and
the Grand Duke manifested much interest
in the cause Of temperance-permitted the
publication of the History OF Temperance
Societies in the Russ, and expressed a
wish that il might also be translated into
the Finnish. A distinguished Russian no.
bleman in Courland was so convinced by
reading the History in German, of the
evils of drinking ardent spirits, that he
agreed to pay the government the sum
which the retailers had undertaken to
pay for their licenses, in order to have no
brandy sold on his extensive estate, a
fact worthy Of the best times Of Temper
ance in any country.
