New ENGLAND shoes.

Some interesting secrets of the New Eng
land shoe trade are divulged in recent arti
Gle in the Boston Commercial Bulletin. II
says: THE ingenuity which the manufactur
ers display, and the success which they meet
in giving the best look to a shoe at the least
possible cost is remarkable There Is made
for the Western trade prodigious quantity
of what are termed the 'women's serge polish
ed shoe A good article can scarcely be
made al 81 Gu per pair, yet orders are filled al
Sl.10 and $l.15, and sometimes as low as 81
cents. Yet these shoes look as well as the
higher priced ones, and in order to do it, they
are cheapened in every possible way-in lin
ing, trimming, stitching, in the bows and
eyele,s and particularly in the sole, the cost
of the sole in the inferior goods being reduced
from twenty-three to eight cents The soles
are known as pancake, and the article itsel
as 'shoddy shoe The workmanship is also
inferior, heing hurriedly done" The Bul'etir
admits that some of these shoes are worth the
price paiG for them, "if worn in the house oil
inside rubbers," but others are "really moi
worth The case they are packed in"

a FOOT-HOLD.

Hardly a steamer that crosses the sea
But carries one traveller more,
For a little time, out on the shoreless sea,
Than she counted when leaving the shore.
Blown far away from his mate where she sings
By the pitiless sea. bound gale,
Lost. and plying his patient wings
Till heart and courage fall;
Lost on the shoreoss, unknown main,
Blinded with salt-white spray,
Dazed with the endless, waving plain,
Scared by the lcngthcning way;
Lost on the sea- and no land in sight;
Through the heavy and misty air.
Struggling on through the dark and the light
To terror and mute despair,
Till on the horizon a cloudy speck
Clears to the mast, like tree,
Clears to the solid and ground-liEe deck,
And he follows 1t YEARLY,
And clngs and crouches, welcome guest,
An eager aud tremulous bird,
With the green and blue on his neck aud beas
BY his hearts hard painting stirred.
Then come pity, and food ana drink to the brim
And shelter from wave and cold;
Bat the quick head droops, and the bright eyes
dim,
And the story all is told!
Pitiful comfort yet comfort still
Not to drop in the hungry sea,
Keeling down out OF the empty height
To that terrible agony.
Bitter and hard to be driven to roam
Between the sea and the sky,
To find a foot-hold and warmth and home,
And then-only to die!
Yet Il was harder, God He knows,
Who counts the sparrows that fall,
For the birds that were lost when the wild winds
rose
When the sea and the sky we're all;
When the sky bent down to infold the sea,
And the sea reached up to the sky,
Aud between them only the wind blew free,
And never a ship went by!

THE New PROCESS OF ANSEALING GLASS.
A number of prominent citizens of New
York and Brooklyn we're invited recently to
visit the La Bastie Glass Works of South
Brooklyn to witness the manufacture OF glass
ware under new process patented by NJ de
La Baste, of Paris in 177J. This process
differs from the manufacture of other glass
ware IN the component parts of material used.
After the ware has passed from the work
mems hands 1t undergoes an annealing pro-
cess by being thrown into bath of tallow.
The visitors were conducted through the
works and the process of manufacture was
explained. They were then conducted into
the storeroom, where lamp chimneys, tum-
blers, plates, globes, &c, were subjected to a
test by throwing them carelcssly around the
floor, driving nails into boards with a lamp
chimney, and pitching the plates 10 or 20
feet on hard floor. One small plate WAS
thrown into the air about % feet and allowed
to fall upon brick floor without breaking.
Lamp chimneys were placed on lamps and
heated. and cold water was sprinkled upon
them, but these severe tests did not affect the
ware in the least. The works employ about
$50 persons, mostly boys and girls

DANIEL WEBSTER ON FARMING,

WASHINGTON, March Il, 1872.


WASHINGTON March 10, 1922.
! JOHN TAYLOR: I Am glad to hear from
YOU again, and to learn that you are all well
and that your teams and tools are ready Tor
| springs work. when ever the weather will
allow you to begin. | sometimes rea. books
on farming, and | remember that a sensible
old author advises farmers "to plough naked
and to SOW naked" BY this he means that
there is no use in beginning springs work
! ill the weather Is warm, that farmer may
throw aside his winter clothes ana ron up
| his sleeves Yet he says we ought 10 begin
as early IN the year as possible lie wrote
some very pretty verses on the suoJect, when
IS far as | remember, ran thus:
While yet the spring is yonng, while earth uh-
binds
The frozen bosom to the western winds;
While mountain SHOWS dissolve against the sun,
And streams, vet new. from preclpices run
Fen in this carly dawning OF the year,
Produce the pillow and yoke the sturdy steer,
And goad him till he smoke beneath his toll,
And the bright share is buried in the SOIL
John Taylor, when you read these lines,
do you not see the snow melting and the little
streams beginning to run down the southern
slopes of your Punchbrook pasture, and the
new grass starting and growing IN the trick
ling water, all green, bright and beautiful
And do you rot see your Durham oxen smoB-
ing from heat and perspiratlon as they draw
along your great breaking-up pillow, cutting
and turning over the tough sward IN your
meadow IN the great field? The name OF
this sensible author is Virgil, and he gives
farmers much other advice, some of which
you have been following all this winter with
out even knowing that he had given it.
But when cold weather, heavy SHOWS and rain
The laborng farmer in his house restrain,
Let him forecast his work with timely care,
Which else is huddled when the skies are fair:
Then let him mark the sheep, and whct the
shining share,
Or hollow trees for boats, o. number DER
His sacks, or measure his Increasing store
Or sharpen stakes, and mend each rake and fork
SO to be ready, in good time, to work;
Visit his crowded barns at early morn;
Look to his granary, and shell his corn;
Give good breakfast to his numerous kline,
His shivering poultry and his fatnlng swine.
And Mr.. Virgil says some other things
which you understand up at Franklin as well
as ever he did:
in chilling winter SWANS enjoy their store,
Forget their hardships and recruit for more;
The farmer to full feasts invites his friends,
And what he got with pnins, with pleasure
spends;
Draws chairs around the fire. and tells once more
Stories which often have been told before
Spreads clean table with things good to eat,
And adds some mostening to his fruit and meat,
They praise his hospitality, and feel
They shall sleep better after such meal.
John Taylor, by the time you have got
through this you will have read enough The
sum of all is, be ready foi your springs work
as the weather becomes warm enough, and
then put your hand to the pillow and look not
back. DANIEL WEBSTER.

L AM DYING.

Rats. nv inflow, husband dearest,
Faint and fainter comes my breath;
And these shadows stealing slowly,
Must, know, be those Of death.
Sit down close beside me, darling.
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand;
yonrs that ever has sustained me,
TO the borders Of this land.
Rer your God and minc-our fatner
Thence shall ever lead me on;
Where, upon throne eternal,
Sits his loved and only son;
I'VE had visions and been dreaming
Der the past OF joy and pain;
Wear Inv wear I've wandered backward
Till was child again.
Dreaming of girlhood, and the moment
when stood your wife and bride,
How my heart thrilled with Loves TRIUMPH
In that hour OF woman's pride.
Dreaming of thee and all the earth.chords
Firmly twined about my heart;
Oh! the bitter, burning anguish
When first knew We must part.
II has passed; and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend;
He that's more than than friend or brother,
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow DER the portals
Leading to my heavenly home;
Christ has promised life immortal,
And tits he that bids me come.
When life's trial await around thee,
And its chilling pillows swell;
Thoul't thank Heaven am spared them,
Thou wilt feel that all is we'll"
Bring our boys unto my bedside;
Nv last blessing let them keep;
But they're sleeping-do not wake them;
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often OF their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake,
Lead them gently in llfe's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last night of my life;
For to morrow | shall never
Answer, when you call me wife"
Fare the well, my noble husband,
Faint not meath the Christening rcd;
Throw your strong arm round our children,
Keep them close to thec-and God.
