Where the Sun Never Sets.

The following graphic passage is
from the description Of scene wit
messed by Mr.. Campbell and bis par
ty in the north of Norway, from a
cliff one thousand feet above the sea:
"The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound Of
the waves scarcely reached our airy
lookout away in the north the nuffe
old sun swung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat of the pendulum
in the tall clock of our grandfather's
parlor corner. We all stood silent,
looking at our watches. When Dotn
hands came together at twelve, MID
night. the full round orb hung trlr
umphantly above the wave--a Drloge
of gold running due north spanned
the water between us and him.
There he shone in silent majesty
which knew 20 setting. We involun-
tarilv took off our hats and no word
was said. Combine, if you can, the
most brilliant sunrise and sunset you
ever saw, and its beauties will pale
before the gorgeous coloring which
now lit up the ocean, Heaven and
mountain. In half an hour the sun
had swung up perceptibly on his
beat, the colors changed to those of
morning, fresh breeze rippled over
the food, one songster after another
piped up in the grove behind us-we
had slid into another day"

pn Thomas Hart Clay. a son

49, Thomas Hart Clay, a sou of
the great Commoner, died at his
homo in Lexington, KY, on Saturday
last, aged 90 years. The Louisville
LEDGER, in noticing the event, says :
"Mr. Clay was never politician,
though he served twice in the Legis-
lature of his native State. He was
born in 1903, and graduated at Tran
sylvania University, He was more
noted in diplomatic than in any 9TH
err public life, having first been q
minister TO Nicaragua, and then to
Honduras. At an early period OF
his life he was a lawyer, but soon
abandoned his profession for the
more congenial pursuits of an agri'
culturist, which he followed with
great success.

/ am sitting by the river,
Listening 70 its ebb and now
Watching the gathering sh adows
As they quickly come and 20.
Far across the turbld waters,
On silent, unseen shore,
Earth's redeemed ones walk In glory
Free from sorrow evermere.
AS watch the dusky shadows
On the ri yer dark and dim,
| dearly love TO listen
To the sweet familiar hymn
"There Is land Of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night
And pleasures Danish pain"
As listen to the music
OF theswee celestial song
That has cheered the hearts OF thousands
In the distant years agone,
As catch the inspiration
OF each melodious strain,
half forget my sickness,
My weakness and my pain,
And my soul lifts up it's pinions,
And my spirit beats its bars
Till long 10 cross the river
To my home beyond the stars.

Girls Boots and shoes.

In Dio Lewis very entertaining and
instructive work, Our Girls, just pub
lished by the Harpers, we find the fol-
lowing suggestions in regard to wo.
mems shoes, which ought to be read
and needed by every woman. lie says:
One evening, at Lexington, ! was dis
cussing before the assembled school the
subject of shoes for women, and had
been remarking that the soles were
uniformly too narrow, when Miss B.
spoke up:
why, doctor, my soles are perfectly
immense. Why, they are twice as
broad as my foot"
Miss B., will you be kind enough to
take off one Of your shoes, and send it
forward?' 1t was cheertully and quickly
done.
Henry, please bring the rule. Now
we will measure this sole.
Miss B., find that this sole is two
and one-half inches wide; do you think
your foot is narrower than THAR
"Oh! a great deal! The shoe soul is
twice as wide as my foot
Miss B will you please come to the
platform for a momenty So, limping
along, one shoe off and one shoe on, she
presented herself.
Miss B., will you be kind enough TO
put your foot upon that sheet of white
paper? Now hold up the other foot,
and let your full weight press upon this
one. There, that will do. Now we
will measure this mark, and see just
how broad Your foot is. Why, Miss
B., find that your foot is three inches
and three-quarters broad-no, stop, it is
three inches and seven-eighths no, stop
again; it is really four inches broad.
Now what do you think? You may
take the rule and measure yourself If
you doubt it. The soul is two inches
and half and your foot is four inches
broad.
"But, Doctor. it is four inches broad
only when it is spread out by standing
my whole wei ght on this one foot.
Yes, Miss B., but that is exactly
what takes place every time you step.
For example, when in walking, you lift
the right foot and push it forward, your
whole weight is not only on the left
foot, but, pushing with the left foot in
propelling the body forward, you have,
in addition to your weight upon that
foot, the effort OF pushing forward with
it, which makes the toes still broader,
and that takes place every time you
step. So | presume when you are
walking briskly, that if your foot were
at liberty to spread, it would reach four
inches and a quarter. This shoe sole,
which you think is immense, is two
inches and half wide. Now what do
you suppose becomes Of the inch anda
ha,f of foot which has no sole to rest
upon3 Either the upper holds the foot
and prevents its spreading, or the foot
