THE Foor OF HoRsE.-It is q marvel Of
mechanical ingenuity, which no mere human
inventive faculty ever could have devised
Often has the human hand been taken to Illus
trate the Divine wisdom; but whoever may ex-
anime his horses foot, will find it scarcely less
curious Though all parts are somewhat com
plicated, yet their design is simple and obvious.
The hoof is not, as it appears to the careless
eve, mere solid lump of insensible bone,
fastened to the leg by joint. 1t is made Of
series of thin layers, or leaves of horn, about
five hundred in number nicely fitted to each
other and forming a lining to the foot itself.
Ther there are as many more layers belonging
to what is called the cofiin-bone and iitted into
this. These are all elastic. Take qulre OF
paper and insert the leaves ono by one, into
those of another quire and you will get some
idea of the arrangement of these several layers.
Now, the weight of the horse rests on as many
elastic springs as there are layers in his four
feet, about four thousand ; and all this is con-
trived, not only for the easy conveyance OF the
horses own body, but of human bodies and
whichever burden may be laid upon him.

A SWEET BoY-My neighbor T had a
social party at his house few evenings since,
and the dear boy" Charles, a five year old,
was favored with permission to be seen in the
parlor Pa" is somewhat proud of his boy,
and Charles was, of course, elaborately got up
for so great an occasion. Among other ex-
tras, the little fellows hair was treated to a
liberal supply of Eau de Cologne, to his huge
qualification. AS he entered the paror and
made his formal bow to the ladies and gentle
men, "Look-ee here" said he proudly, if
anv of you smells smell, that's nc" The ef-
feet was decided, and Charles, having thus in
one brief sentence delivered an illustrative eS-
say on human vanity. was the hero of the
evening Every one could call to mind some
boy of large growth, whose self satisfaction,
though not perhaps so audibly announced, was
yet evident, and not better founded.

YOU CAN NEVER RUB 1T OUr.-Ose pleasant
afternoon a lady was sitting with her little son
a white haired boy, five years of age. The
mother was sick, and the child had left his
play to stay with her, and was amusing him
self in printing his name, with pencil, on pa
per.
Suddenly bis busy fingers stopped. He made
a mistake, and wettng his finger, he tried
again and again to rub out the mark, as he
had been accustomed to do on his slate
"My son." said his mother, " do you know
that God writes down all you do in a book
He writes every naughty word, every dis
obedient act every time you indulge in temper
and shake your shoulders, or pout your lips
and, my boy, you can ncrcr rub u out ~
The little boys face grew very red, and in
moment tears ran down bis cheeks. His
mothers eye was on him earnestly, but she
said nothing moro. At length he came softly
to her side, threw his arms round her neck,
and whispered, Can the blood Of Jesus rub
| it out ?"
Dear children, Christ's blood can rub ont
the evil You have done, and it is the only thing
in the universe that can do IL. 90 The blood
Of Jesus Christ, His Sen, c!eapseth us from al

PISs AND NEEDLEs-The manufacture Of
the indispensable little pin was commenced in
the United States between 1912 and 1920,
since which time the business has extended
greatly, and several patents for the maunfac-
ture of pins have been taken out The manu-
facture in England and other parts of Europe
is conducted upon Improvements made here
Notwithstanding the extent of our own pro-
ducton the United States imported in 1856

year there were imported into this country
needles to the amount of $246,060. Needles

DEATH OF TALcorT BURR, JR.-We regret to
learn of the death of Tacott Burr Jr editor of the
Wilmington Herald He died on the 5th instant
at the residence of his father, in Wilmington. His
disease was typhoid fever. He was native Of Will
mington about SO years DID, and had been editor of
the Herald for nearly seven years.
As writer Mr.. Burr was piquant and pleasant.
Judging from his editorials his heart was free from
all vindctve or malicious feelings. He loved joke
too we'll to bear malice Our estimate of his char.
acter is formed solely from the manner in which he
conducted his paper and by this we should Judge
him to be one who would forgive an enemy and
warm to friend-one against whom none could
bear malice, and who would gather around and at.
tach to him devoted friends. Peace to his astes.-
The journal of the 9Th says:
{" 1t is not for US to usurp the Office of more ia.
miar friendship, and speak of Mr.. Burr in the va
rious relations of son, brother friend We only
know that he possessed qualities of head and heart
which endeared him to large and devoted circle of
friends and relatives To these qualities some one
better able to do them justice, WILL no doubt, pay
the fitting tribute. The sorrows of the family cir
Gle are sacred, and upon them we would not OBJ
uude. God alone is the true CONSIDER. 1t only re-
mains for u.s. in common with brethren of the
press, to mourn the loss of valued cotem porary
