aDotber DanbuIy Picture.

The Danbury Ne1cS says: 1t is 3 little
singular how well pair of boots can be
made to fit at the store. You may not be
able to get your foot only part way down
the leg at the first trial, but that is because
you haven't started right, and the shoe
maker suggests that you start again, and
stand up to it, and he throws 10 little pow
der from pepper to aid you, And so you
stand up, and pound down your foot, and
partly trip yourself up, and your eyes stick
out in an unpleasant manner, and every
vein in your body appearsto be on the point
of bursting, and all the while that dealer
stands around and eyes the operation as in
tently as If the whole affair was perfectly
new and novel to him. Whe pyour foot
has finally struck bottom, there IL
a faint impression on your mind
that YOU have stepped into an open stove,
but he removes it by solemnly observing
that he never saw boot tt quite as good
as that, You may suggest that your toe
presses too hard against the front, or that
some of the bones in the side of the foot
are too much smashed, but he says this is
always the wzy with a new boot, and tina
the trouble will entirely disappear in few
DAYS Then YOU take the old pair under
your arm and go home as animated as a
relic of 1912, all the while feeling that the
world will not look bright and happy to you
| agan until you have Drained that shoemak-
er. You limp down town the next day and
smile all the while with your mouth while
your eyes look as if you were walking over
an oyster bed barefoot, When no one Is
looking you kick against 8 post or some
other obstruction, and show q fondness fol-
stopping and resting against something that
will sustain your weight. When you gel
home a. night you go for those old boots
with an eagerness that cannot be described
and the remarks that you make upon learn,
ing that your wife has disposed Of them tC
/ q widow woman in the suburbs, are calcu
lated to Immediately depopulate the eartf
of shoemakers and women generally.

nurnEw oRLEANs TROuRLEs.

The New Orleans Democratic papers de-
uouuce the breaking open and robbing of a
number of gun stores in that city on the
night Of the 9th inst. in the strongest
terms, and Gov. McEnery has issued the
following proclamation touching the matter;
STATE OF LOUISIANA, EXECUTIVE DE-
PARTMENT, NEW ORLEANS, May Z, 1873.
TO the people Of New Orleans: L cannot
permit the events of yesterday to pass by
without calling your attention TO certain
transac ion that can only bring down re-
proach and shame upon the good name of
this great city and its people.
With the object of The meetings called
yester ay and last night, which was to give
expression to our sympathy and perhaps
extend material aid to the heroic DeBlanc
and his brave people, who are barring their
bresst. in defense of the integrity OF their
homes, and against the infamous usurpa-
'tion which to-day Effects to govern the
State, most heartily sympathise.
These brave men deserve the active
couptepsncs and support Of every honest
man in the State, But the disorderly tu-
mult and riotous action of some of the res
idenis Of this city, who, after the adjourn
ment of the meeting last MINIS DFoh9 lhCO
and sacked the gun stores of Messrs. Nudge
and Folsom, can not be too severely con-
demned.
: / do hereby in the name Of the good and
true men of this State, characterize such
action as disgracefnl, and calculated only to
bring down disaster upon the causes toI
which we in common are struggling, and
do sincerely hope that the piunderers may
be diets cted and punished to the fun ex,
tent afforded by our Criminal Courts and
the law.
The cause of honest and just government
in this State can bat be subseTved by peace
full, honest, determined and IdtCtm resist
ance upon the part of its good people. II
war is levied and armed attacks made we
can but resist. But if not attacked, ouI
true policy is one of peace.

LINES TO WILLIE.

For the Union and American.
lam thinking of the time, Willie,
When we were young, you know,
When all our hopes were bright, Willie,
just twenty years ago.
Just twenty years ago to-day,
When we were wed, you know,
Then our hearts were bright ana gays
just twenty years ago.
But many trials and troubles, Willie,
Trials Of veal and woe,
Have made our hearts less light, Willie,
Than twenty years ago.
There have been many changes, Willie,
Since we were wed, you know;
Sorrows and Affections, Willie,
Since twenty years ago.
But many of our dear ones, Willie,
Have left us and gone, you know;
Left us and gone to Heaven, Wnle,
Since twenty years ago.
And we are growing old, Willie,
So neither one can know
How soon we may be called, Willie,
To sleep in the grave so low.
So then we must be ready, Willie,
When we are called to go,
To meet the ones we lost, Willie,
Since twenty years ago.
We must still cheer each other, Willie,
As on life's path we go,
And remember our joyous hopes, Willie,
OF twenty years ago.
When life's journey ends, dear Willie,
And we are called 70 80,
MAY we go hand in hand, dear Willie,
And leave this earth below.
