BALTIMORE eth. June

Some writer inveighs against cor
sets, and goes to prove that they are
cause of pretty much all the ills at
tendant upon the female train. lie
is about right. Corsets, we under
stand, ore an article of femanine at
tire, something in the manner of a
semicircular band, and used to at
tach false hair to the Uranium. They
are generally worn clasped tightly
about the head, and by their constant
strain upon the scalp produce head
ache, vertigo and ultimatelyparalysis
and apoplexy, How any sensible
lady can continue the use of such
deadly ornaments, when a perusal of
our advertising columns will explain
other less complicated and equally
efficient head-gear, confounds us com
pletely.

It's an astonishing sight to see the
way a Martinsburg man works to
remove his feet from a pair of new
boots. He squats down on the floor,
takes his right leg across his left
knee and pulls. Not succeeding with
this plan, he goes to the wall, kicks
the toe of his boot till peck Of plas-
ter comes tumbling down on his
head. Then he sits down on the
rocking chair, places the heel of his
left boot ON the toe of the right one,
screws up his mouth and pulls
gently. Making second failure, he
draws a long breath, goes to the win
dow, looks up the street, comes back.
holds to- a mantel-piece and throws his
whole energy into the work of olsen
numbering his feet from their infer
nal covers. This time the heel of his
boot slips and knocks the b. III off his
right instep. Then he kicks the cat
twigs the babys ear and orders his wife
to bed. For a final effort, he gets his
boot between the rung and seat of
the cane-seat rocking chair pulls with
all his might and shoves his foot
through the bottom. This failure gem
orally calls forth a yolley of eloquence
not recorded in Sunday school litera-
ture At last these soothing words
are addressed to his wife who is laugh
ing under the bed-clothes, Sarah, /
think you ought to get up and pull
these internal boots off. Then hepiles
into bed without saying his night
prayers.
