The City BY the Sea.

Somewhere an ancient city stands,
A beautiful city by the sea,
And moss-grown gables seem to fr0wn
From the pointed roofs OF the houses brown
That line the streets Of this quaint old town,
OF that city by the sea.
Never a sound OF clamo rous strife
Dsturbs this city by the sea;
But calm and sweet 10 the tranquil day
The white sails ride on the moonlit bay
Or slip their moorings and float away
From this city by the ssa.
Sometimes at eve, when the tide goes out;
A troop of children, glad and free,
Gambol and shout-a merry band;
Or over the shining. ses-wet sand,
Go 10 young lovers. hand in hand,
From this city by the sea.
Omen and often sit and think
OF this beautiful city by the sea,
Till see the flush Of the crimson sky,
Aud the youthful lovers, fond and shy,
And the snOw-white sails as the ships go by,
Past this city by the sea.
Is it . picture-or a dream
Whose haunting memories come to me,
Or did somewhere, long ago.
Pace the shining sands when the tide was low
Hear the murmurous sea-waves ebb and flow
Did see the crimson sunsets glow,
And watch the white sails come and 20

like the music. But l said, What
beautiful sentiment! NV dear it is a
pastoral. You might have known that
from 'Wo-haw-geev You have had
your taste ruined by attending the
Brooklyn Tabernacle.' The choir re-
peated the last line of the HYMN four
times. Then the prima donna leaped
on to the first line and slipped, and fell
to the second, and that broke and let
her through into the third. The other
voices came in to pick her up, and got
into grand wrangle, and the bass and
soprano had it for about ten seconds :;
but the soprano beat! (women always
do) and the brass rolled down into the
cellar; and the soprano went up into
the garret, but the latter kept saual.ing -.

La Nonta!ne's Fatal Fall.

Mail reports give some interesting de-
tails of the fatal accident 10 the aeronaut,
La Monsaine. 81 Ionia- last Friday. His
balloon was what Is known as hot-air
one. and was simply filed with rarified
air. and not gas. The canvas had some
what Of worn appearance, as II the
worse for being filed with heated air too
c,ffep. Al the summit where the canvas
was Sewn together, block some ten or
twelve inches in diameter was fastened,
and through hole In this six guy-ropes
were secured, hanging down over the
sides az the balloon, being at the bottom
some seventeen feet apart, and these were
tied 10 the basket by the Professor him
self There were no ropes running around
the nalIoon horizontally TO keep the guy
ropes from slipping, or TO prevent the
whole thing from sliding out between the
ropes with a gust Of wind. AT 3 :55 p. m.
the Professor stepped into the basket,
and the balloon took shoot up almost
perpendicularly, with the Professor
swinging his hat to the crowd, all
apparently enjoying the sight. In
4 few moments more, however, the
mouth of the balloon was observed to
wave about two or three times, then TO
pass between the ropes, careening over
ON the side, when the ropes broke out
from their fastenings at the top, and the
fall commenced. La Montaine was no
ticed to be apparently making some effort
to get the basket above him, and, if posi-
BILE, to break the fall, but after the first
struggle he fell so rapidly that nothing
could be distinguished but the falling
body, his hat coming after him, about 100
feet or more behind, the old canvas, near
ly collapsed, falling down gradually. The
body struck the ground balfa-dozen feet
from the northwest corner Of the Jail
building 1t struck with such terrible
thud that it Jared the ground for forty
rods around, and made an indention in
the solid ground eight inches in depth.
There was scarcely bone in the whole
body not broken into fragments. 1t was
AS limp as as rag. There were very few
fractures of the skin, except the right foot
the bone Of the right leg being driven
through the bottom of the foot.
The body was laid out on a couch, a
circle formed, and a procession OF all who
wished To view the remains passed
around. The Professor is a brother OF the
celebrated aeronaut who died two or three
years ago. This ones name was Edward
La Montaine. He was a jeweler by trade,
and lived at Brooklyn in this State. He
had said just before he went up that he
wished to take the train for home as soon
as possible after he came down, as his
wife was very sick. He himself had not
had his clothes off for ten days.
There were from 10000 to 1900 people
who witnessed this horrible tragedy. He
was seen by the people four miles from
the city at an angle of thirty five degrees.
The best estimates make the height from
which he fell from 900 to 1900 feet.

A POnderOus Slipper.

GEORGE has for some time past been
attentive to a young lady whom he has
noticed on several evenings when he call
ed busily engaged on beautiful piece of
embroidery, which, perhaps accidentally,
or comparing it with the size of his own
foot, he had concluded was one Of pair
of slippers that were, no doubt intended
for holiday present; and George had
once or twice allowed himself to wander
into the pleasant suspicion that they were
| intended for him, although nothing had
really transpired to justify such belief
On Friday evening George called for
the third time during the week. He's
quite attentive, it would seem, and as
| usual the slipper was progressing finely.
He was fully sure the slippers were in
tended for him, but he was anxious to
draw the acknowledgment from the dear
| angel who was laboring SO industriously
for his benefit, another implied acknowl-
edgment of her devotion for him. Of
course he began cautiously:
"Some one you are mighty fond of is
to become the possessor of those slippers,
l imagine?" said he.
"What slippers do you refer tor" in.
quired the fair laborer.
"Why, those you are working on so in
dustriously," replied George.
"Slippersr' almost shouted his aston
ishcd companion. Slippers! Do you
mean to tell me, George, that you took
this for slipper"
"Why not?" returned George, inadvert-
emily moving one Of his ponderous pedal
appendages. The movement, though un-
intentional, drew the lady's close atten-
ton to Georges feet, where she gazed
moment and then at the supposed slip
pers; then, raising her eyes to our hero,
she said: "Well, George, you are not so
much to blame, after all; but this was
really intended for sofa cushion

COrns In Horses.

THERE is widespread fallacy that
corns usually depend upon some peculiar
form of foot, and that with such feet they
are, like coughs and colds, almost una
vOidable, even with the best management.
The truth is, that cOrns are always caused
by an ill-fitting shoe. So long as level
shoe rests evenly upon the proper bearing
surface Of the foot, no corn can occur, but
when the surface of either foot or shoe is
irregular, then the most prominent point
of contact is pressed upon unevenly and
bruised. A corn is a bruise and nothing
more, save that usage has confined the
term TO bruises of one part of the foot-the
angle of sole between the wall and bar.
This part Of the foot is most liable to inju.
ry by uneven pressure, because it is in re-
lation to the termination of the shoe
If the end Of the shoe does not reach
the extremity Of the heel, it forms
a point upon which the yield
ing horn Is pressed at every step. Short
shoes then are most Objectionable, and we
find, frequent cause Of corns. They are
often purposely employed on hunters, and
on horses with capped elbows, seldom
really necessary, but If so, should be very
carefully fitted. By way of avoiding corns
it is the common practice of many farrlers
to lease the heel of the Shoe" that is, to
so fit it that the last inch of the shoe takes
no bearing on the foot. A space is thus
left between the shoe and foot in which
one might place. penny piece
This is one of the greatest
evils of shoeing, for not only is an
inch Of the best bearing surface of the
foot unused, but increased pressure is
thrown upon the spot where shoe and
foot are in contact. Instead of prevent
ing corns, 1t Is q common cause, and why
it should be 80 will be understood when
we say that the seat Of the corn is about
an inch in front of the extremity of the
foot, in fact, just at the spot upon which
this "eased heel" throws most weight.
Corns may be due to an uneven surface of
foot not of shoe, as when the wall at the
heels is lower than the bar, in which case
level shoe is almost certain to act as An
exciting cause.
Lameness from corn usually shows itself
about week after the horse is shod, de-
