How ARE Your Pooh FEETP-ln
these days of hygienic reform, various
modes are suggested for improving the
health, and the personal habits ot lndi'
viduals are discussed with remarkable
freedom. Hero is some plain talk about
the feet, which we produce from an ex-
change, not presuming thatit will apply
to any of our readers, but simply to
show what can he said on the subject :;
Many are careless in the treatment of
heir feet. If they wash them once o
month. they think they are doing well.
II ey do not consider that the largest
pores of the system are located IN the
bottom of the feet, and the most ofen'
siye matter is discharged from these
pores. No one has failed to notice
The odor which is experienced IN
the presence of some persons. They wear
socks from the beginning of the week
without change The stockings become
completely saturated with offensive
matter. 1t is sickeniug to be In the
presence of such persons. Ill health Is
generated by such treatment OF the teot
The pores are not only repellants but
absorbents, and this fetid matter to a
creator or less extent is taken back into
the system.
The feet should be washed daily as
we'll as the arm rits, from which an
offensive odor is also emitted unless daily
ablution is practiced. 4 man or woman
can neither feel nor be well unless
frequent bathing is practiced. Stockings
should not be worn more than day or

A progressing and smooth tongued
Young man named Irven Craig, who but
a little over O week ago was married to
a Miss Shifer, very estimable young
lady, whose parents reside at Bridgeport,
got possession of 5000 of her money, and
left on a train night before last The
story of their courtship, which has led
to so bitter an end, to her at least, runs
thus Craig, some months ago, went
to the country to improve his health,
which was very poor, and at the time he
got acquainted with the young lady, who
was boarding at her uncle's house. She
saw something very pleasing about the
young gentleman, and an acquaintance
was cultivated, and grew warmer and
warmer He told her of Ibis fathers
house." mountain home, and how time
would fly happily and merrily. He told
her, too, Of his business qualifications
aud prospects-about rich uncle who
lived in this city and was doing an over
whelming business-of his father, who
lived ON the broad Illinois prairies, whose
granaries were full and at his command.
The unsuspectiug girl placed confidence
| in the young man, and, believing him TO
be truly sincere, gave her hand, her
heart, and they eremarried. Thursday,
the gray-headed father of the girl, who
believed that his cup of happiness was
full, drove them in carriage to the
city-the young man avowing his inten'
ton to take his dear wife and present
her to his relations in Illinois. Arriving
in the city the party stopped at Cunning
hams, on Illinois street, near Market,
where they INDUCED in cream, cake, &c
Upon taking his departure for home the
old man gave his daughter $500, and at;
ter he had gone, the wife, very dutiful
and confiding, placed the money in her
husbands charge. In the evening the
young man told her that he must 60 up
town on business, but would be back
shortly. With that no left her, and I'M
til yesterday morning she did not suspect
him of being such villain.

and with ease to himself, the strongest

fifty pounds on tho end of it, with HE
teeth, and held it in horizontal position
a considerable time, He rolled up pew.

much apparent ease as the reader would
roll up sheet of paper. He held pew
ter quart pot at arms length and squeezed
the sides together like an egg shell.
He lifted 200 pounds with his little fin

He lifted Mr.. Chambers, o Clergyman,
who must have lived on the fat Of the land
for he weighed 374 pounds, with one hand,
Mr.. Chambers head being placed ou one
chair and his feet on another. At blow
he struck round bar of iron one inch iu
diameter, aguinst his arm and bent j, like
bow.
One night, observing watchman asleep
10 his watch-box, he picked up box and
watchman, carrying the load with the
greatest ease, and dropped them over The
wall into Tindale buryiug ground.
A butcher once passed large window
at which Topham was sitting. lie stopped
down and took half an OK from the fell

dexterity that the man swore the devil
had flown away with his beef.
