TWO LITTLE PAIRS OF BOOTS


Two little pairs Of boots tonight
Before the fires are drying
Two little pairs Of tired iett
In a trundle bed are lying.
The tracks they left upon the floor
Make rae feel much like signing.
Those little feet with copper toesi
They run the liyclong DIV;
And oftentimes | almost wish
That they We're miles away;
So tired am / to hear so oft
Their heavy tramp at play.
They walk about the new plowed ground,
Where mud in plenty lies;
They roll il up in marbles round,
They bake it into pies,
And then at night upon the floor
In every Shape it dries
To-day was disposed TO scold,
But when | look tonight,
At those little boots before the fire,
With copper toes SO bright,
/ think how sad my heart would be
To put them outof sight.
For in a trunk up stairs I've laid
Two socks OF white and blue;
If called to put these socks away,
0 God what should do?
l mourn that there is not tonight,
Three pairs instead 0f two
mourn because thought how nice
My neighbor cross the way
Could keep her carpet all the year
From getting worn and gray;
Yet well know she d smile 10 own
Some little boots to-day
We mothers weary get and worn
Over our load OF care;
But how we speak to these little ones
Let each of us beware,
For what ould our tiresides be tonight,
If NJ it'll, boots were there

BE AGREEABLE-In journeying
along the Road Of Life, it is a wise
thing to make our fellow travellers
our friends. The way, though
rough as it may seem, may be pleas
antly beguied with an interchange
Of kind offices and pleasant words.
Sauvity and forbearance are essen
tial elements of good companionship,
and no one need expect to pass pleas
antly through life who does not ha-
bitually exercise them in his inter~
course with his fellows The lsh~
maelitc whose hand is against every
man may die in a ditch without a
finger being outstreached to save
him. And why should we rudely
iostle and shoulder our neighbors?
Why tread upon each others toes?
The Christian gentleman is always
careful to avoid such collisions, tor
courtesy and loyalty to his race are
portion Of his moral and religious
creed: to be loved and honored OF
all, his highest earthly ambition.
He seeks to turn away wrath With
soft answer, and if brawlcr OBJ
stinately besets his path, he steps
aside to avoid him, saying as "My
Uncle Toby" said to the pertinaeioas
fly: AGO thy way the world is wide
enough for thee and mel"
There is another and meaner view
of the subject, which we commend to
the worldly wisc and selfish. 1t al
WAYS pays to be courteous, concilia>
ting, and mild of tongue.

To ASCERTAIN THE LENGTH OF THE
DAY AND NIGHT.-Atany time of the
year, add twelve hours to the time of
the suns setting and from the SUI
subtract the time of rising, for the
length Of the day. Subtract the time
of setting from twelve hours, and to
the remainder add the time of rising
next morning, for the length of the
night. These rules are equally true
for apparent time.

CARE FOR THE FEET.-Many are
careless il the keeping Of the feet. If
they wash them once a week they
think they are doing well. They do
not consider that the largest pores Of
the system are located in The bottom
of the foot, and that the most often
sive matter is discharged through the
pores. They wear stockings from
the beginning to the end of the week
without change, which become cons
pletely saturated with offensive mat.
ter. Ill health is generated by such
treatment Of the feet. The pores are
not only repell&nts, bnt absorbents,
and this fetid matter to greater or
less extent, is taken back Into the
system. The feet should be washed
every day with pure water only, as
well as the armpits, from WHICH an
offensive odor is also emitted, unless
daily ablution is practiced. Stock
ings should not be worn more than a
day or two at time They may be
worn forone day, and then aired and
summed and worn another day if ne

low. The pistons make their down
ward stroke, and the water is forced
out through valve or opening out
wardly into cistern. The next dix
vision OF 20 feet ofpump at its lower
end, rests on in this cistern. A sims
liar apparatus at the top of this dis
vision, will cause tho water from this

can proceed until you can raise the

for allowing the escape Of the water
into the cistcrns. There must be 3
valves, one outside of the other, this
prevents air from finding its way
in, especially when the vacuum is
forming-a very important, and real
ly indispensable point, The more
perfect the vacuum in the large cylin-
der, the greater will be the body of
water raised. | claim this triple
valve as patent TO myself, not being
aware of any such device il. the whole
range Of mechanics, | look upon it as
the browning point in this invention.
More valves can even be added if
needed-practice will prove the ex-
act number necessary. | am decided
ly of the opinion that in its efiiciencT
and working cost this plan of raising
water from mines will be found far
superior to any system eXtant

P. Son second thought | think
it best to here state that | have had
some thought of recommending one
large steam cylinder to be rugged at
top of the shaft, and from it extend
the piston rod down to operate the
vacuum cylinders below; but | am not
decided exactly on that plan yet
Parties can examine it, and if they
can see an advantage, at present. can
not, why they can act according y.
A word about the starting Of this
apparatus: to work well, say all is
rugged right, the water stands at the
bottom of the sbaft-no water yet in
the pumps. Nov let the steam on
the small cylinder, its up stroke will
form a vacuum in the large cylinder
and the air from the pump will rush
into that vacuum and be forced out
by its down stroke, and the water
will follow until it mounts to said
cylinder and is discharged into the
cistern. j. N.
