The Sublime of SboemaLiur-

It IS at Constantinople that shoe making
reaches its sublime pitch, and scars into abso-
late poetry. The bazaars display thousands
ofrfirs Of slippers, delicate and small enough
T. u1 Cinderela'S self, and of dazzling SPLEEN
dor. The bearded end turbaned artisans, I'M
Ger nose fingers these cunning structures
Ce'"-e0 themselves, must have painters
sCui Hacata their cattaua. Velvet slippers,
sill inpeTs, cloth slippers of Tafllet leather,
s., Of crimson, of pink, of orange, white,
azuro. purple, Of all colors except the sacred
gree4, which may not be profaned by such
usage Slippers royalty embroidered in gold,
rightly braided in silver, Jeweled with ruby
and turquoise, tufted with dainty down from
the Wild swans breast of snow, wrought in
seed pearls, the whitest that Oman and Sere-
nib can supply.
There are some slippers that seem to emu
late the gorgeous coloring of gaudy insects,
the glorious mall of the dragon fly, the gold
powdered purple of the Emperor butterfly
there are others as chas tely beautiful as the
pale pinllish shell on the sea shore, others
again so elaborate that months must have
been required for the patient needle to elab-
crate those golden springs Of flower, to COM
bine that intricate scroll Of pearl-work, to COM
plete that Arabic flourish. What sort of feet
are worthy of those radiant coverings-feet of
nymphs, of peris, or actual bona fide women
of this matter-of-fact, mutton chop world we
live in! AT any rate, they must be small,
shapely, and fair to look upon; and it is fact
that Turkish feet are remarkably delicate in
both sexes. These superb shoes are not all
for female wear, some of the simplest-mere
crimson or violet velvet, stiffened with gold
and floss silk till little of the ground work is
left visible under the mass of needle work
are meant for dandy boys and gay young pages
of fashion. True, the degenerate pachas and
other officials prefer to buy their boots in the
Rue Rivoli, but still the slipper trade is gain
full one
Besides the splendid fabrics have spoken
of, and which are worn by sultans and ladies
of rank, there are everywhere exposed for
sale whole mountains of the yellow slippers,
and yellow leather socks, which Turkish wo-
men alone may wear, the red slipper, popular
with the male MahOmmedans, and the dull
black or purple shoes to which the Greek or
Armenians are legally restricted. No Christ
ian may wear yellow shoes on pain of basti-
nado, without he be a dragoman, or under
European protection but nowadays every
nom MOhammedan who can afford it buys first
his berath of naturalization, and then a sufi-
cheney of French boots and botnes for him
self and family. SO in the palmy days of
persecution, Jews and Cagots, in some of the
most civilized realms of christian Europe,
were compelled to wear shoes of a peculiar
hue, as a badge Of prescription.

"YoU DARE Nor FIGHT. This remark
was made day or two since by burly look
ing boy of fifteen years, to another lad of
about his own age-a pale faced, delicate
youth, land whonrhe had been tantalizing,
with the object of provoking him to fight.
''No, Charlie, l dare not fight. have no
ill will towards you, and am sorry only to
hear you talk in that manner to me. But,
Charlie, were it in my power to save you from
death by fighting, | would do all could"
The rough boys heart was touched at this,
and, extending his hand he said III believe
you. Come over into our yard and will
give you pretty pair of pigeons" The boys
walked off together, with hearts brimfull of
kindness, and we are quite certain that our
own was filled with better feeling towards
our fellow mortals, through the force of this
touching example. Portland Press.

THE LoRD's NO DEAF."-A poor old dea-
man, residing in Fifeshire village, was visited
one day by the parish clergyman, who had re-
Gently taken resolution to pay such visits re-
quarry TO MS Pensioners, and therefore made
promise to the wife of this villaper that bo
would call occasionally and pray with him
The minister, however, soon fell through this
resolution, and did not pay another visit to the
man TIL three years after, when happening to
go through the alley in which the poor man
lived, he found the wife at the door and there
fore could not avoid inquiring for her husband.

FROM NORTHERN VIRGINIA

The recent movements of our forces have led the
impression in quarters that the entire evacuation
OF Northern Virginia designed that these NOV e.
ments were made with reference to the reported ad
vance of the enemy under Mcclellan through Loudouu
county. Our information the subject, derived
from quarters deemed reliable leads believe that
the change of position recently made by army
ehected without regard either of the contingencies
ABOVE referred to. From all gather, are
satisfied that general advance of the enemy forces
not anticipated, and that Government, which rath-
or desires such movement on the part of Mcclellan,
VIII be disappointed for the present campaign TIE
recent reports of advance amount but little and
the operations of the enemy, far they have
pred do not indicate that they will risk engage
ment with the wellappointed and highly disciplined
troops under Gen Lee
from Winchester, and the country below, have
private adyices late Thursday morning. No
movement Of the enemy had taken place up to that
1me along the upper Potomac. At Harper's Ferry,
onepherdstown and WilAmsport, all was quiet, not
Whsandng the boast of Northern correspondents that
their forces would occupy Winchester before the close
OF the week. The report that Winchester had been
eaGuated is not correct Our cavalry pickets still

\ WORD TO THE WIsE.-The New York
Times, in the course of editorial makes the
following remark:
"Every one knows with what keen interest any
Indication of hostility to the Confederate Admin
straton, whether coming from rebel Congress
man or from rebel newspaper, is received in the
North. 1t is generally accounted token of dis
satisfaction with the war ITSELF and is used here
as an inducement for perseverance. And yet
these signs we call them, are comparatively in
frequent and exceptional. They are simply the
utterances of rare individuals"
On which the Richmond Enquirer truthfully
remarks:
'The above teaches US a lesson which all should
heed We glad that the "sgns' which in
duce the enemy to 'perseUere" are "infrequent."
We wish there were none. Let 1t be remembered
that 'ndications of hostility to the Confederate
Administration" are watched with ''keen interest"
by our enemies and encourage them to perseUerc
in this cruel acar. To give such encouragement
and incentive is infinitely more damaging to US
than if persons who so offend were to join the en-
envy"

WINCHESTER, VA, Oct. 25.-The army is now
lying quietly in camp, with but little excitement
Every few days brigade or division is sent for
ward to destroy some part of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Most of it within reach of the
and ties pile them together in large heaps along
the road, and when some eight or ten miles have
thus been piled together, the whole is fired at
once. The boys like this fun very much The
Cumberland tunnel understand, has also been
destroyed in the last few days. 1t will certainly
take Yankee ingenuity some time to clear this
tunnel, for but few get in to work at it at
once, whereas bridges and such like can be form
ed miles away and carried to their destination al
read y fitted together. This, together with the
partial destruction of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, will in measure blockade Baltimore and
Washington for a while
