EDUCATED FEET.

Who can tell what uses the feet and
toes could be put to, if necessity arose
for full development of their powerst
There is a way of educating the feet as
well as the hand or the eye; and it is as.
tonishing what an educated foot can be
made to do. We know that in the time
of Alexander, the Indians were taught
to draw their bows with their feet as well
as with their hands, and Sir j. Il. Tenant
tells us that this is done up to the pres
ent time by the Rock Veddahs, of Cey-
Ion. And nearly all the savage tribes
can turn their toes not only to good, but
bad account; like the aboriginals of Aus
tralia, who, while they are cunningly d.
verting your attention with their hands,
are busily engaged, in committing rob-
berries with their toes, with which they
pick up articles as an elephant with his
trunk. So also the Hindoo makes his
toes work at the loom, and weaves with
them with as much dexterty as with his
fingers. The Chinese carpenter will
hold bit % wood he is planning by his
foot like parrot, and vii. work grind
stone with his feet. The Banaka tribe,
who are the famous canoe men, on the
west coast, will impel their light canoes
weighing only from to 10 pounds
with great velocity over the waves, and
at the same time, will use the foot to bail
out water, and when they would rest
their arms, one leg is thrown out on
either side of the canoe, and it is impelled
by the feet almost as fast as with a pad
die. There was also Monsieur Ducornet
who died only four years ago, who altho'
he was born without hands, was brought
up as an artist, and who annually exhib-
tied at the Louvre pictures painted by
his feet. Then there was Tom Robert,
the armless huntsman to Sir George
Barlow, whose feet were made to perform
the duties Of the hands. And there was
William livingstone, who with his toes
wrote his accounts, shaved and dressed
himself, saddled and bridled his own
horse, threw sledge hammers, and fought
a battle, in which he came off victorious.

BRAVERY OF THE IRIsH.--The earth ha,
never shaken to the tread of moro
splendid soldiery than the Irish regiment,
in the British service, since Nimrod
founded the earliest empire of the eartl
to the present hour. In both hemisphercs
and under every sky, Irishmen, alike dis
tinguished Us combatants in the ranks
and rs commanders at the head Of armies
have hewed their victorious way across q
thousand battle fields, and in every sea
they have wiel led the thunder of our
floating bulwarks, and nobiy sustained
the honor of our flag; and when our
armies have sustained an occasional re-
verse, it has been asccrtained that on at
least one memorable day, the fortune of
the field was turned against us by the
prowess Of expatriated Irishmen.--Maa-

why do so Many Fail i'm Business!

The question is very often answered,
and in as many different ways as the in
terrogatory is put. Pronigacy, some an
swer; others reply IL 1t it is negligence
TO attend, stIctly, to the common duties
required Of business man. Some at
tribute it to one cause, and others to diff
fercnt causes and neglect Many young
man has started out in life with the most
ilattering prospects of business success
before him, and in an incredibly short
time, his hopes are blasted, his prospects
hare become blighted, as if the magic
power Of destruction had combined with
it all the powers of an evil one to wreck
that fortune once so bright and spark
ling with success. The first primary
cause of so many failures in business is
ably discussed in the columns of a con.
temporary, from which we clip the follow
ing:
The first, and by far the most common
reason for failure among American bust
ness men, and among all mankind, is the
disposition to do too much. We are
eternally over-rating our abilities, and
planning more than we can accomplish.
The farmer buys too big farm-tho
merchant too many goods: the Spectator
gets too deeply in debt; and all promise
themselves more than they can perform.
a year, two years, five years, when look
ing ahead, how. remote it appears, but,
alas how soon il passes away, especially
TO him that owes money, and has made
promises that it plaques him to fulfil.
The three hundred and sixty-fivc DAYS
of year. how quickly they roll around
a day, week, month-the spring, the
summer, the autumn passes, each in rapid
succession, and soon the year is gone,
and the promise that is made upon the
future how hard it is often found in the
performance.
Did we judge more wisely, and, after
due allowance for mishaps and disap-
pointments more or less of which will
always come; did we calculate moro
closely, and always within the mark, how
different would be the results of all our
undertakings, and how much less the
agonies and strifcs to keep our heads
above water.

A Land Behind the Mountains.

The little child was dying. His weary
limbs were racked with pain no more
The flush was fading from his thin
checks, and the fever that had been dry
ing mp his blood, was now cooling rapidly
under the touch of the icy hand that was
upon him. There were sounds and to.
kens Of bitter but suppressed grief in
that dim chamber, for the dying boy was
one very dear TO many hearts. They
knew that he was departing, aud the
thought was hard to bear; but they tried

mother; "there are no mountains in sight

"Look there, dear mother" said the
child, pointing upward, "yonder are the
mountains. Can you not see them nowY
he asked in tones Of the greatest aston

"They are near me now-so large and
high, and behind them the country looks
so beautiful; and the people arc so happy
there are no SICK children there! Papa;

mysteries was about to be withdrawn.

strength and earnestness which astonish
ed all. The chamber was filed with
wondering awe-stricken friends At
length he turned to his mother, with a
face beaming with rapturous delight, and
stretching out his little arms for the last
embrace, he cries, "Good-bye, mother,
am going, but don't be afraid-the strong
man has come to carry me over the
mountains"
These were his parting words. Upon
his mothers breast he breathed his last,
and they laid the little fair body down
again upon the pillow, and closed the
lids over the beautiful blue eyes, over
which the mist of death had gathered
heavily, and bowling by the bedside they
prayed with submissive, but bleeding
hearts, and said: "The Lord gave and

The Christmas Gift.

The Christmas Git.
Old Christmas had come with his bright merry face,
And bracing airs joyous and keen,
And while the gay holiday folks, ut each place,
Selecting their gifts, might be seen.
An old man walked on, at n very brisk pace,
In search Of "a SEWING MACHINE.
Pcrplcxed he Hppeared-nay, bewildercd in mind
Amid all the vast moving scene
Unable to meet with precisely the kind
OF thing he was seeking, wecn;
CIndoed, IL is not quite easy TO find
really good RwING-MAcmSE)
For hours he paced up and down all Broadway,
With puzzled and sorrowful micn
For all his researches, throughout the long day,
Entirely fruitlcss had BEEN
Till fortune benignantly threw him in way
Of FISKLE AND LYoNs MACHINE.
"Ah, herel"-he exclaimed, as happy smile grnced
His features so bland and serene
"Ahl here have managed TO find out, at last,
"The very MACHINE that mean
"Ycs yes I'd forgotten the name in my haste
ct was FISKLE AND LYoS's MAcuIvE!
"Wns ever invention like this meath the sun
"What moycments,-how rapid and clean,
Continued repeating the joyous old man,
As he ON bis elbows did lean,
Beholding what wonderful things can be done
by FISKLE AND LYoN's MACHINE.
His choice of a gift longer delayed;
land here his great wisdom ives seen)--
That Christmas, his daughter-a blooming young
maid
Was rendered as proud a queen;
Next morn, when she rose in her boudoir there laid
N'FISKLr AND LYoS's MACHINE!
