Perfect Feet Things of the Past.

Many exquisites of both sexes claim admiration for their pedal extremities, but it is the boots and shoes which cover them which we are called on to present a very great divergence from ly planted foot, neither too large nor too small, but justly proportioned to the height and weight it sustains, the smooth surface and regularly curved lines, the distinctness of the divisions and the perfect formation of each toe, with its well-marked separateness and it's gradation of size and regularity of detail to the very tip of the nail, are now to be seen only in art.

The Cause.

An article in the Memphis Register explains the circumstance under which persons residing in part of the city distant from ''Happy Hollow," where the disease originated, died of the yell low fever. It says thatlin no case has the disease originated in the better portions of the town, but that several persons who did business in the neighborhood of the Navy-yard and "Happy Hollow contracted the malady and carried it with them to their homes, where they subsequently, died. If this be true, the disease is not of that fatal kind, which, like the vomito in Shreveport, spreads everywhere, attacking the clean and the unclean alike, but it is due to local causes of filth and privation, and con- fines itself to the unsavory locality in which it first maintained itself with such destructive effect.

CHARM OF A GARDEN.-It is, indeed, the frequent change, the never-weary- ing variety, that is the main charm of the garden. You leave home for lit tie time, and when you return, To 1! everything is changed. New colors, new forms, new perfumes greet you. There are fresh flowers on the stem, fresh fruit on the bough. Few things are more enjoyable than first walk in one's garden after an absence from home. Few men who are really fond of gardening ever care to be long away from their household gods. It is, in deed, one of the most salutary effects of love of gardening that one's thoughts seldom turn towards the delights of vagrancy and the charms of strange places.

If We Would.

If we would but check the speaker
 When he spells his neighbours fame, If we would but help the erring
 Ere we utter words of blame; If we would, how many might we
 Turn from paths of sin and shame. Ah, the wrong that might be lighted If we would but see the way .5. An, the pains that might be frightened Every hour and every day If we would but hear the pleadings Of the hearts that go astray. Let us step outside the stronghold
 Of our selfshness and pride; Let us lift our fainting brothers.
 Let us strengthen ere we chide; Let us, ere we blame the fallen,
 Hold light to cheer and guide. An, how blessed-ah, how blessed
 Earth would be if we'd but try Thus to aid and right the weaker,
 Thus to check each brothers sigh, Thus to talk of duty's pathway
 To our better life on high. In each life, however lowly,
 There are seeds of mighty good; Still, we shrink from souls appealing With timid Eff we could :" But God who judges all things
 Knows the truth is, Eff we would

KEEP ON.-One of Boston's esteemed citizens was in well-known restaurant, partaking of the wholesome and invig- orating apple-pie. Discovering some thing therein that seemed to have no legitimate connection with pie, he call ed the proprietor, and deferentially ob- served to him, "See what have found in this pie-a piece of blue overall with button attached" The enterprising proprietor, not at all disconnected, quietly replied, "Well, keep on eating: you may find the man."

Very important news Is also expect
ed from Spain. 1t is believed that
CASTELAR,, il he cannot succeed in restor-
ing order under republican reign, will
allow Serrano and Topeto TO put young
Don Alfonso, son of Isabella Segunds,
upon the throne. 1t is believed that
Serrano is really the father Of the boy.
The recall OF Serrano from exile by
CASTELAR, and that the leaders consent 10
manipulate the army, lead 10 the cup
position that there may be something
in this movement. Altogether there
is prospect Of viyidly exciting news.
In the meantime the idea OF a great
Latin Confederation looms up again.
Proposals and plans are rile among the
agents OF France in Italy and Spain

balance the growing and alarming

The Dean OF Canterbury In Trouble.
The action of the Dean of Canter"
bury iu taking part in the celebration OF
the Lords Supper at Madison Squsre
10 the Presbyterian Church on Sunday
the 5th inst, has caused much discus
sion among the nembere OF the Apgli-
can, and Protestant Episcopal churches
and letters have been written to the
Dean and to Bishop Potter. Of this dIo-
ces, by the Right Rev. DR.. Tanner late
Missionary Bishop OF Central AFRICA.
A tardy publication is this morning
given to these letters, the existence and
i'm port OF which have been known
for some days. In letter to Bishop Pot.
ter DR.. Tanner says that it is by no
mesns improbable that restless and un
stabbed persons in England will seize
upon this act OF what | must presume
to call open hostility to the discipline OF
the church as an excuse and apology
TOR altending from time to time the at
tractiye services of the Church OF Rome,
but the result OF this experImnnt here
in America may be even more disast-
rous, Tor so far as DR.. Smiths influence
extends it will suggest the idea that
the promise held out by the Episcopal
Church in this land OF becoming the
haven OF rest OF men who are tossed to
and fro by the multiplicity OF the con-
tending creeds and systems is nothing
else than q mistake and delusion.
