company with an old, rusty or un-
fashionable pair Of boots or shoes

theirs extended in admiration. sud

he looks down upon his rusty and
ugly feet. Harmony is the order and
beauty of Nature. Let it not be

fine hat, look down in sorrow and re-
proach upon the feet. They are
members Of the same family and
equally deserve the kind regards of
the owner.
