THIN SHOES AND CONSUMPTION.

Noticing an article with this title, the
Bridgeton IN. J.) Chronicle says:-" Let
pare MS look well 10 this matter; Let them
see that their daughters wear good thick
shoes and stockings during cold and damp
weather. Let them compare their own thick
boots with the low, thin shoes OF their daugh-
tiers. and thew will more fully realize the in
suficieny OF The latter. And let the ladies'
not suppose that n sensible man is more pleas
ed with a pale aud feeble woman. than with
one blooming with health, vigor and beauty
with a small foot than good Judgment.
For the one who is over anxious about the
former. must certainly have an insuffciency

From The LolceH Courier.
HONOR TO VERMONT.

There appeared, not long ago, in one ofths
papers published at Washington. the follow.
ing paragraph:
"The President elect was received al
Washington by Commute Of reception, con-
sisting of one from each State. all of whom
were in favor of the annexation of Texas
Every State was represented except Vermont,
and not one could be found from that State
who favored Annexation"
Whereupon, a lady of Lowell threw off the
following spirited lines:
GLORY TO OLD VERMONT she stands
Where Freedoms star hath never set,
Though dim its light in other lands,
Ii shineth on her mountains Yet.
Righ, faithfully and nobly still,
Her free-bGrn sons their birtl-right keep,
And from each towering rock aud hill
Her stern alarum sOundeIh deep.
She will not write her unstained name
Upon the scroll which adds one more
10 those strong links iu Slavery's chain,
Too calling in its power before.
And when was heard rallying call
For Slave5y's help-Iio! who will come
From out her Northern citadel -
A mighty voice made answer-none.
Then honored be her name for aye,
The good and true Green Mountain State,
Hers be the fame which cannot die
OF being truly, nob.y great.
God keep her ever thus land
Where Freedom hath her strongest towers,
Where brave, free men may proudly stand,
And say-this mountain home is ours.

She is very agreeable gal, and talks very pleas

THE LOST ROOTS.


A Baltimore correspondent of the Boston Daily
Advertiser, gives the following account of some
of his experience on the road:
AS we were about leaving the hotel at Philadel-
phia, Wednesday morning, there was some
delay from passenger in the third story. Pretty
soon we heard sharp alteration up stairs folluw-
ed by the appearance of short, fat man with a
red face, who preceded negro with an arm full
of boots. The short fat man hobbled to the bar,
and in sort of omnous whisper, as though he
took great credit for not being in towering pas
sion. said
Landlord, where are my boots'
'Why, really, sir, what number were they!'
'What has that to do with it;' said the fat man,
now beginning to get excited. don't know the
number; believe they were 8, with low heels and
pegged'
'Ah! you mist,ke-what is the number of your
room"
'Forty-hve.
'And did you put the number on your boots
when you took them OFF,
what have to do with marking boots' Do
you think earrya bottle Of INK in my pocket to
prevent my boots from being stolen:'
But there was piece Of chalk on the Stand
where you took them off,

New WAY OF RAISING THE wIND.-Two in
genious rogues being in Florida lately, and hard up
for cash, hit upon an expedent by which they
raised the wind. and replenished their purses. =
They announced that they would exhibit very
extraordinary animal hitherto unknown, which
had been found on the prairies at the foot of the
rocky mountains, called the Hoosler kemall'
1t was agreed among the scapegraces that one OF
them should represent the new animal and the oh-
er should act as Snowman. The hour announced
for the exhibition arrived-the room was crowded
to excess, 50 great was the curiosity of the natives
to see what they had never seen before. Behind
the curtain, horrible growngs were heard After
little time the exhibitor stepped before the cur
tain, which was raised about a foot, and which
discovered the legs Of the animal-the hands and
feet of the confederate encased in bears skin.
Ladies and gen,lemeh,' said the exhibitor. the
animal which shall have the pleasure of intro
ducing to you is wonderful curisoty. 1t is the
first time that the Hoosier killemall was ever
exhibited 1t is most furious creature, aud in
all probability, untamable
Here the confederate moved BACKWARDS ana
forwards very rapidly. aud howled in as unearthly
tones as possbie.]
He would tear you all 10 pieces, if he could
get at you; but don't be alarmed, he is securely
chained to the floor, and cannot harm you. You
hear him roar, but that is thing to the dreadful
noise he makes when in pain. Bef,re exhibiting
him, will go behind and prick him with the spike
you perceive at the end of this pole, aud you will
then hear HIM howl
The exhibitor stepped behind the curtain. A
horrible noise was heard, together with the clank
ing al chain Immediately afterwards he rushed
before the curtain, his hair and dress in disorder,
and with fright and terror depicted in his counten-
ance, exclaimed
sRun for your lives! The Hoosier killema
has broken his chain!'
1t was sufficient. The room was cleared, as
Lord Duberly would say, in the twinkling OF a
bed post The animal escaped by the back door,
and has not been seen or heard Of since.
