LITTLE FEET.

Two little feet, so small they both may nestl,
Two tender feet upon i the untried border
OF Lifc's mysterious land;
IMPLIED and soft, and pink as Zach tree b:.os-
In April's sunny days.
How can they walk among the briery tanglet
Edging the worlds rough ways?
These white-rose feet, along the doubtful fu
Must bear q woman's load:
Alas! since woman has the heaviest burden,
And walks the hardest road.
Love, for while, will make the path before
them
All dainty, smooth and fair
Will Gull away the brambles, letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mothers watchful eyes ore
Away from sight of men,
And these dear feet are left without her guild.
Who viii af' direct them theny
How will they be allured, betrayed, deluded,
Poor little untaught feet!
Into what dreary mazes will they wander,
What dangers will they meet?
Will they go stumbling, blindly, in the dark
OF sorrows fearful shades,
Or find the upland slopes Of Peace and
Beauty,
Whose sunlight never fades?
Will they go toiling up Ambitions summit,
The common world above?
Or in some nameless vale securely sheltered,
Walk side by side with Love?
Some feet there be which walk Life's track un.
wounded,
Which find but pleasant ways;
Some hearts there be to which this life is
only
But they are few. Far more there be who
Without hope or friend,-
Who find their journey full Of pains and
losses,
And long to reach the end.
How should it be with her. the tender
stranger,
Fair-faced and gentlc-eyed,
Before whose unstained feet the worlds rude
highway
Stretches so far and wide?
All, who may read the future? For our darl-
We crave all blessings sweet,
And pray that He who feeds the crying
ravens,
Will guide the baby's feet

Talk About increasing the Army.

II
1t is hard to foretell the result of the
intrcn which at this time is being brought
forward relating to the increase of the regu-
.ar army. The subject is now one Of general
discussion in almost every department of the
government. 1t is now claiming the earnest
discussion Of the most prominent men in
Washington in both military and civil life. It
is safe to predict that strong move in that
way Of legislation will be accomplished at the
next session OF Congress, and the very urgent
advocacy made for improving the prcsedt con
dition Of the army will not be in vain. 1t is
somewhat a master of difficulty to correctly
ascertain the Presidents views on increasing
the present number, but it is thought that he
favors such movement Us we'll as a number
Of members Of Congress-.

lister to Greece asserts that the United States
can now, henceforth control, TO great cx-

bic return to the reservation with his tribe
While in Washington, lately, Hon. Mr.. Mills
fllly explained to President Hayes the Cana
dian system of dealing with the Indians. The
president expressed his intention of adopting
similar policy, and to give the management
ofthc outposts to experienced army officers,
and do away altogether with agents. The
Canadians Indians of the Northwest are fierce
ly jealous of the advent of the hostile Sioux,
and it is feared may at any time make war
upon them if their removal is not secured. It
is expected the new policy to the Indians
about to be adopted by President Hayes will
bring about the withdrawal of the American
Indians from Canadian territories.
