An old lady combatted the idea of the

emphasis that the idea was incredible;
for, said she, "what becomes OF the peo-

On dry ice, rubber overshoes are pretty
certain safeguard against a tumble But
when the Ice Is wet, the rubber sole is les,
reliable than the sole of leather. Yet per
son footing may be assured on ice, dry OF
wet, by coarse carpet sole. 1t is not nee
essary that this should extend the whole
length of the shoe or boot, or that it should

il may be attached to the ankle in various
ways, too simple to need to be described.
The idea OF this anti-slipper was suggested
by seeing the conduct of the cormorants who
iufest Niagara Fills and act as guides to
si5orS. These greedy gentry, by wearing
carpet slippers, are enabled to run aud walk
up and down steep and slippery rocks with
out accident or danger.

quite lately, Pitts said to himself-''I am

His business qualities wouldn't let him
wait, so off he travels, and calling up lady
friend, opened conversation by remarking
that he would like to know what she thouht
about his getting married.
"Oh, Mr.. Pitts, that is an affair in which
| am not so greatly interested, and | prefer
to leave it with yourself
But, say Pitts, you are interested
and, my dear GIRL will you marry me ?"
The young lady blushed very red, hesita-

in the world, and morally, financially and
politically of good standing in society, she
accepted him; whereupon the matter-of-
fact Pitts responded" Well, we'll | II look

FASHIONABLE SHA.iMls.-The MS perils of fa

FASHIONABLE SHAMs;-The perils of fash
ionable shams were recently illustrated ata ball
j. at Paris when an elegantly dressed lady found
herself wearing only the string of her necklace,
the wax pearls having melted entirely away IN
the heat. The lndia-rubber beauti6ers, pal
pitators,' &C., are yet more dangerous. At q
dinner party given by high parsonage OF the
official world, one of the ladies was equally re-
marked for the exquisite proportions OF her
bust and the animation OF her conversation.
Those who sat near the lady suddenly heard,
in the middle OF the dinner, and of some witty
sally on her part, sharp, small detonation,
such as might be produced by the cracking
open of a bean pod. No one took any notice
of the inexplicable sound but it was observed
that the lady became much less animated, that
she kept one arm raised across her bosom, and
famed herself incessantly during the rest OF
the dinner, though the temperature OF the
dlnning room was by no means too high. AS
soon as the company rose from the table, the
lady, still fauning herself, suddenly disappear
ed J; but, as certain sharp eyes among her
rivals had caught sight Of a diminished out
line as she retreated from the sphere of vlslop,
good deal of merriment followed her dlsap-
pearance The lady's absence was, however,
very short, for she returned to the drawing
room in the course of a few minutes, trium-
phant iD the same classic perfection that had
excited SO much admiration during the early
part of the evening, and displayed all the
apzon,b and vivacity which had made her SO
charming. The screwing of the stopper,
through which the air is blown into the class
of fixtures in question, having been made,
this time sufficiently secure, the charms OF

got through that war, and Andrew John
son had reconstructed the South with trai
tors in every post of honor and power
who applauded his policy The Demo
Ieratic party speak only what I believe
when l say if that policy had succeeded
liquidation would to-day have been an
accomplished and achieved fact. The
Civil Rights bill, the fourteenth constitu-
tlonal amendment, the Reconstruction
acts, the formation of free Constitutions
| for the Southern States, were all opposed
| by the Democratic party, North and South
And when the Southern States were adj
mitted, and the National Democratic Con
Vention assembled at New York of one
hundred and eightytwo Southern dele
gates, over one hundred were rebel of
ticers as then, more members of jeff
Davis Congress than Of the Congress of
the United States, and these men assume
to declare Reconstruction acts null and
void This is only part Of the record of
the Democratic party might go on for
hours extending the list of its misdeeds
Therefore do not come here to defend
the Republican party, but to assail the
Democratic party as the enemy Of justice,
of humanity, of truth, of honor and of
God. 1t is not pretending to be the
champion of poor men, For fourteen
years it has done moreto Cypress the poor
than any other organization under Heav-
en-. At the outset of the contest there
was territory sufficiently large to make
fifty States like your own consecrated to
freedom and open to the poor men of the
country. The Democratic party removed |
the prohibition of slavery and admitted
the Southern plantation system, the worst
enemy of the poor laboring man, North
and South And what do they propose
now to do? We have given the right of
suffrage to 100000 men at the South
they propose to take it away we have
given the Southern States an opportunity
to make free Constitutions they propose
to take them away; we propose to give
them free school systems, secured by State
Constitutions, and they vote against it,
and propose to throw overheard all we
have done; and do it in the name of aid
to labor. Let me tell you that they who
would degrade labor at the South, will al
30 degrade it here.

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Great Heaven! Is this our missien? End il
this the prayers and tears,
The tolls, the wars, the watchings, of on
| younger, better years?
| Still as the Old World rolls in light shall
| ours in shadow turn,
| A beamless chaos, cursed of God, through
outer darkness borne
Where the far nations looked for light, {
blackness in the air
Where Tor words of Hope they listened, the
long wall of Despair.
The crisis presses on us, face to face it stands
What solemn lips of question, like the Sphynx
in Egypts sands !
This day we fashion Destiny, our web of Fate
we spin:
his day for all hereafter, choose we Holiness
or Sin
Even now from starry Gorizim. or EbeIs
We call the dews of blessing, or the bolts of
cursing down!
By all for which the martyrs bore their ago
ny and shame;
By all the warning words oftruth with which
the prophets came;
By the future which awaits ms; by all the
hopes which cast
Their faint and trembling beams across the
blackness of the Past
In the mamie of those who for our countrys
freedom died
Oh ye people! Oh, my brothers choose
We the righteous side
So shall the freedom lover go joyful on his
way,
To wed Penebscot's waters to San Francis
co.'s bay,
To make the rugged places smooth, and SOW
the vale with grain,
And bear, with Liberty and Law, the Bible
in his train;
The mighty North shall bless the South, and
sea shall answer sea,
And mountain unto mountain shout-PRAIsE
GOD, FOR WE ARE FREE
