this was oyerlaid by one hundred and fifty
dollars more in two skirts of white lace

six fifty cent pieces which so many bows of

A Sad Scene.

Whilst passing yesterday in neighbor-
hood where the yellow fever had been atten-
ded with some fatal results. we stopped at a
house where, but few days ago, dwelt a
family in all the enjoyment of health and
all comforts which an industrious husband
and father was enabled to provide. The
spirit of pestilence hovered over the little
dwelling. and one by one in the space of
three days, were three Of its inmates car

picked up and opened the family Bible, and

of the pen had left its painful record, the

Boots and Shoes,

The United States Economist has collect.
ed some interesting statistics on the manu-
facture of boots and shoes in this country.
The quantity required for the consumption
of the United States is NOT far from IS, 900, :
900 pairs per annum. Of these. 1s, ,OOO,-
600 pairs are made in Massachusetts, at q
value of $40, ,OOo. 900 per annum, and they
employ as, 600 men. and SO, 826 women
Onehalf of this employment is in Lynn.
which is the largest shoe shop in the Uni
ted States. The next is Philadelphia. which
makes $4,000. 900, mostly fine work. while
that of Lynn is coarse work. The pro-
duclion is great in every city, town, and
hamlet of the Union, and the whole value
is not less than $50, ,ooO, 600 per annum.-
OF the shoe houses, four sell over 3 GOO,
900 each per annum. In Philadelphia
there are 475 manufacturers, whose sggre-
gate sales amount to 81. .14l 600. and Phil
adelphia sells, probably. $40. .Ooo. 900 worth
of eastern work in addition.
The Economist mentions, as remarkable
circumstance, in this connection, that not
withstanding the immense extent of the
shoe and boot manufacture, and the army
of persons engaged in it, neither boot nor
shoe-makers figure in the last census,
though shoe-fnders and shoe-Peg- makers
do.

a Cemetery without Monument.

The noblest of cemeteries is the ocean
Its poetry, in human lang uage, ever will be
unEritten. It's elements of subfimity are
subjects of feeling, not description. Its re-
cords, like the reflection mirrored on its
Eayeless bosom, cannot be transferred to
paper. It's yastness, its eternal heayings,
its majestic music. in storm and IN its
perils. are things which have endsavored

its moving mountain waves, feeling that
eternity was distant from me the thickness
of single plank. had tried in vain to feel
and know the glories and grandeur of the
sea. ! there first felt what John of Patmos
meant when he said of Heaven. There
shall be no sea-" But there is one element
of moral eublimity which impressed my
mind, and which should be pleased il !
could transfer, IN all its vividness. to the
mind of the reader. The sea is the largest
of cemeteries, and all its slumberers sleep
without q monument. All other grave
yards, IN all lands, show some symbols of
distinction between the great and the small.
the rich and the poor; but in that ocean
cemetery, the king and the clown, the
prince and the peasant, are alike undistin-
guished. The same wave rolls over all; the
same requiem, by the minstrelsy of the
ocean, is sung to their honor. Over their
remains, the same storm beats and the same
sun shines: and there, unmarked, the weak
and the powerful, the plumed and the un-
honored, will sleep on, until awakened by
the same trump. the sea will give up its
dead. Thought of sailing over the slum-
bering but devoted Cookman, who, after
his brief but brilliant career. perished in
the President-over the laughter-loving
Power, who went down in the same Inflated
vessel we have passed. In that cemetery
sleeps the accomplished and pious Fisher;
but where he, and thousands of others of
the noble spirits of earth, lie. no one but
God knoweth. No marble rises to point
out where their ashes are garnered, or where
the lover of the good and wise can go and
shed the tears of sympathy. Who can tell
where lie the tens of thousands of Africa's
sons who perished in the middle passage?"
Yet that cemetry hath ornaments of which
no other can boast Over no other are the
heavenly orbs reflected in such spIendor.--
Over no other are so many inimitable traces
of the power of Jehovah. Never can for
get my days and nights as passed over the
noblest of cemetries, without single human
monument.-GtLe
