C0RNs.-Hard corns are caused by
too much pressure Of the shoe, or by
its being SO loose as TO slide back and
forth on the spot where the corn after
ward shows itself. Medical books re-
cord several cases where pairing hard
corn has caused bleeding, which no
known means could arrest, and death
ensued. Nothing harder than the fin
ger nail oughe ever to be allowed to
touch corn, which can be always cured,
or kept from causing Inconvenience, by
simply bathing the part in warm water
for an hour for several days 10 success,
sion; often single bathing will accom-:
plish the object of SO softOning the parts
adjacent to the actual corn, that it can
be picked out With the finger nail, aud
the shoe eau be instantly worn without
discomfort, which an hour before gave
great pain; it may return id a week, or
a month, or year, but the same treat
ment will always avail. PAIRING causes

Soft corns are very troublesome, but
are sometimes removed By patiently
bathing or soaking them in strong alum
water night and morning. Itisso much

Character.

Many persons believe that various
little personal peculiarities are strongly
indicative of character The Horoscope.
Paris paper, thinks that the style Of
laughter is an index of character that
ala, ha" shows the laughter to be
frank, tickle, noisy aud nervous He,
he, he" is the laugh of phIegmatic
and melancholy person, or of Que timid
and irresolute. "llo, no" bctokeus
man of firmness and generosity. Those
who laugh Hu, hu" are avaricious,
hypocritical, and take pleasure in
nothing.
Coarse black hair aud dark skin are
said to denote great force Of character I;
fine black hair TO indicate not only
strength of character, but also purity
aud goodness. Stiff black hair indicates
a coarse, strong, rigid character. Harsh,
upright hair is the sign of reticence and
harshness. Coarse red hair indicates
powerful animal passions, with a cor.
responding strength of character. Au.
burn hair with forid. counteuauce, de-
notes intensity of feeling, purity, with
the highest capacity for enjoying or
suffering. Straight, even, smooth, CLOS.
sy hair denotes strength, harmony, and
eveness of character. Fine, silky, sup.
pie hair is the mark Of a delicate sensi.
tive temperament. Crisp, curly hair
indicates hastJ and somewhat impet.
uous character. White denotes lynn,
phatic and indolent constitution. There
are chemical properties residing in the
coloring matter Of the hair tube which
undoubtedly have some effect upon the
disposition. Red hair is proved BY
analysis to contain large amount o.
sulphur, while pure black hair is colored
with almost pure carbon. The presence
of these matters in the blood points tC
peculiarities Of temperament aud feel
ing which are almost universally asso
ciated with them.
The gait is sometimes regarded as al
index OF character. Observing person,
are said to move slowly. Careful peopl,
lift their feet high and place them dowr
fiat aud firm. Calculating persons gen
orally walk with their hands in thei
pockets aud their heads slightly in
clined. Modest persons step lightly
for fear of being observed. The timic
often step of the side walk on meeting
another and always 60 around ston,
instead of stepping over It. Wide
awake persons have long swing /,
their aims, while they shake abou
miscellaneously. The careless are for
ever stubbing their toes. The lazy
scrape about loosely with their heels
Very strong minded persons have ,

Anecdots Of Handel,

Handel was one Of the most humor-
GUS of rfiortals, and at the same time one
Of the most irritable. His best Jokes
were perpetrated frequently during his
most violent bursts of passion.
Having occasiou to bring out one Of
his oratorios in a provincial town Of
England, he began to look about for
such material to complete his orchestra
and chorus as the place might afford. -
One and another was recommended, as|
usual, as being a splendid singer, q
great player, and so on. Alter while
such as were gathered together ID 4

made his appearance, putting, both arms
full of manuscripts. "Gentlemen, n
quoth he, lyon all read manuscripts ri
Yes, yes" responded from all parts ID
the ROOM "We play 10 the church, 4
added an old man behind vioIoncello]
s Very we'll play dis" said Handel
distributing the parts.
This done, and few explauat;onr
delivered, Handel retired to . distan1
=.
part Of the room to enjoy the effect.
The stumbling. tumbling and bIunder1
ing that ensued is said to have beea
indescribable. Handel's sensitive eau
aud inpetuous spirit could not lon1
brook the insult, and clapping his hapd7
to his ears, he ran to the old eeutlemss
OF the violoucello, aud shaking his a
furloualy at the terrified man and ~
instrument, said, You blay Ia

A gentleman Of Boston, who is, as
the boys say, "barefooted on the top Of
the head" was recently importuned by
soma young ladies to present them with
his photograph. He complied with the
request; but, instead Of presenting them
with picture of his handsome features,
sent very striking view Of the back Of
his head. The joke was daily enjoyed,
but the protector was much surprised
shortly after to see copies ofthe picture
in the windows of print store, and on
inquiring Of the attendant, found, to
his horror, that the sharp photographer
had published It as ga remarkable pic
ture Of the moon"

Half dozen pots of flowers from
different countries, and having the soil
Of the country from which they came,
were set before professional japanese
horticulturist for his examination. Then
the pots were removed, aud samples Of
the soil of each and leaves from each
shrub brought in aud arranged with the
intention Of deceiving him. The ques-
tion was then asked him: Which paper
Of soil came from the pot where this
leaf grew 7" He looked closely at the
leaf, and, after exanIipg the papers of
soil, picked out the right one, without
a single mistake. If a Japanese were
to steal rice or wheat straw, the owner,
if an expert, could in this way identify
his grain, showing his soil, as the straw
would show, was the soil in which it
grew.

A Curious Legend.

When Adam was far advanced in
years and at the point Of death, he sent
his son to the angel Michael, who kept
the gate Of Paradise, TO pray for the
oil Of mercy, SO that he could be healed.
The angel answered that it could not be
until fifty.fivc hundred years, but he
gave Seth branch Of the tree Of which
Adam had eaten, bidding him 10 plant
it on Mount Lebanon, and that when
IL bore fruit his father should be healed
Seth planted the branch on his fathers
grave; it took root aud grew; from it
were made Aarou's rod, aud Moses staff
with which he struck the rock and
sweetened the waters Of Marah. 1t
also formed the pole on which the bra
zen serpent was lifted up, and the ark
Of the testimony. At last it came iuto
the hands of Solomon, who used it in
building his palace; but it continually
resisted the efforts of the builders to
adjust IT, Now it was too long, and
then again too short. The builders,
being angry, then threw il into marsh
so that it might serve as bridge The
queen Of Sheba would not walk upon it
but adored it, and told Solomon that
upon it should be suspended the mar
through whose death the kingdom
should be destroyed. Solomon then had
it buried deep in the ground, wher,
af' crward the pool of Bethesda was dug

TIE BEAUTIFUL LAND.

There are brighter skies than these, know
Lands where no shadows lie
Field, where immortal flowers bloom,
And fouuts that are never dryj
Thrr. are domes where the stars never dim,
Where the moon forever CLEANS,
And the music breath Of the radiant hills
Sweeps over the crystal streamsi
Por often I've caught, In the time Of sleep,
A gorgeous glimpse OF this hidden deep,
Away in the land Of dreams.
when night lets down her pail of mist
On slender cords Of air,
And the purple shadows Of dying day
Are teeming everywhere;
while unseen fairies chant 4 lay
In the lilly's crimson cells,
And the solemn voice OF the harmless winds
Breaks up the dreary fellI,
] know, by the cry Of my soul within,
There's a place where they shut the gates of sin,
And the God of glory dwells.
Tho wall Of the wind, the rivers voice,
The arch Of western hill,
The beauty spread over the living earth,
In slumbrous twilight still
The yearnings Of each human heart
For q holier, better CLINE
A higher life than this mortal course,
Bearing the seal divine
Ahi sure there must be beautiful land,
Where the white-robed millions ransomed stan
Chanting their songs sublime.
