boots Of French kid, or some
equally soft kind of Heather, should
be worn.
Corns-"clavi''-are horny in
durations Of the skin, with a CEN
tral nucleus very sensitive at the
base, and occur on the exposed
portions Of the joints Of the toes
The common cause Of them is con-
tinued pressure or friction on the
projections ofthe bones from tight,
stiff or iil-ftting boots Or shoes.
The curative treatment OF corns is
verysimple, though oftensomewhat
troublesome and tedious. After
soaking them for some minutes in
warm water, to soften them, they
should be pared with a sharp pen
knife as close as possible, without
causing them pain or making them
bleed. The pared surface Of the
corn, and particularly It's centra!
and upper portion, may then be
touched over with any substance
capable Of destroying the vitality
of the indurated cuticIe, o. at
least the part Of it next the sur
face and thus causing it in few
days to separate. For this pur-
pose caustics or corrosives are
employed. Of these the most con-
venient, and the one inostin favor,
is fused nitrate Of silver or luna
caustic. The application should
be repeated every third or fourth
day, until a cure be effected; soft,
loose shoes being, as far as posi-
bic, worn during tie whole time.
Another method Of extirpating
corns is the application of a small
bllstcr. This will frequently raise
them, with the skin, out Of their
5eds. and permit Of their COM
plete removal. The delicate ex-
posed surface must then be dressed
with little simple ointment,
SPREAD an lint, and this must be
retained in it's place by a slight
bandage formed Of a strip Of cali
co.

The man of iron nerve hesita-

He was hal1ing between apolnt-

penalty Of perjury, and the truth,
which would cost him money.
Cowardicc performed the office
OF conscience, and the truth came
out. The firms money. which
George Gilbert had lost had been

Slow AND SURE.-Haste in
making ones plans is less valuable
than slowness and sureness in the
consideration, and all due speed
and promptitude in carrying them
out. Hasty impressions Of things
are as certain 20 be wrong as hasty
impressions OF people; and that
half knowledge that results from
superficial scamper> through
places is almost worse than no7
knowledge at all. Undue haste,
indeed, which must be confound-
ed with energetic action wisely
considered and powerfully per-
formed, is form of unwisdom to
be deprecated wherever met with,
and is sure never to come to
good ends. It is better to 60 up
stairs step by step with safety, if
a little slowly, than to break your
sbins by mounting two at time
and tumbling over your own feet;
and it is better to come down at a
sensible and rational speed than to
make one stride, and that a long
one, from the top to the bottom,
with broken neck Or bruised
back as the result of your over
speed. ltis better to 60 quietly up
the mountain than TO rush alongat
railroad pace and lay the founda-
tions of a heart-disease in conse-
quence; and in all things "slow
and sure" 60 further than crash
and swift" and the accomplish
ment Of the end is more important
than the quickness of the means
by which that accomplishment
may be brought about, but also
may be entirely frustrated IN
stead. ..--- ...-

REGTE5ERS-1NsLAW. w.

The Rev. DR.. Chambliss; of the
Citadel Square Baptist Church
Charleston, has for sometime de-
voted his Sunday evening SER
vices to a series Of sermons on
family relations. On the first Sun
day evening in this month he de-
livered o discourse from which
we mako the following noble OK
tract. 1t is taken from the re-
port published in the Charleston
NeWs
"Everybody knows how It has
become the fashion of late years
to speak of this relationship only
in terms of ridicule or contempt.

ing that prompts such speech |

mystery to me how a man who
loves his wife can treat her mother
with disrcspect, or how a wife
who loves her husband can look
with an evil eye upon his mother.
"Oh, friends: the trouble is that
the hearts of children are not like
the hearts Of mothers. In the
pride and joy and independence OF
the marriage state and Of paren-
tai dignity the married pair are
apt to forget that they are still
children ; that the mothers love
has not grown colder; that she
has not let 60, cannot let go, until
death break the grip, the hold OF
her heart upon tho child, and can
not cease to feel that in some
sense the right is still hers, IN
alienably hers, to counsel and d.
rect hor child. If the marriage
was with her approval, she has
lust made another niche in her
heart, set the new son beside her
daughter, or the new daughter
beside her son, and now they are
both her children. Both those
children, bound together, and sat-
isfed with each others love, are
drifting away in their affections.
their tenderness, their dependence
from the mothers bosom. The
new son does not take the new
mother into his heart, he has no
place for her. The new daughter
does not take in the n5w mother
Her heart Is full. Ah, yes, here
is the trouble-the hearts Of chill
dreu are not like the hearts oi
mothers.

The freshest bit Of romance comes
across the water ard is as follows:
A Princess has cioped with Duke
in Samoa. His Ex>el!ency, the Gov.
ernor of the Tan Massage District in
the Island of IJpola, had charming
sister named Toe, with the complexion
Of baked gGyso, cncoauut apron. a
necklace nf birds claws, and fancy
that was free He was ardently at
tached to her, and could not be ill.,
duccd to consent 10 her marriage un-
der any consideration, social or politi-
cal. When Duke Malietoa fell iu
love with hcr the ccurtship was con-
Quoted clandestiuely, and eventually
an elopement vas agreed upon and
carried into execution. The Cover
nor bethousat himself Of a bit Of
strategy to recover possession of his
truant sister. He sent q message to
Toe pretending to be recouciled to her
choice, and requesting her to return
and be married under the baronial
thatch in proper style. The dusky
Lothario fell into this trap. Great
preparations we're made for the oc-
easioD, and Lord Malietoa, accom-
paineda by the fair Toe, set oct on his
return, followed by all his relatives in
ar imposing procession, bearing baked
pigs in profusion, and timing their
march to the beating Of tom-toms.
On Sunday the Governor feigaed
violent attack of gout, end sent a
message for the lovely Zoe to hasten
to the bedside Of her poor brother.
The uasuspecting one obeYed, but no
sooner .:as she inside the Governors
lines than she was bundled into a
canoe and conveyed to Sola Sofa, in
her brothers domain. The distracted
Malietoa and his retainers remained
where they were bivouacked, sssuag-
Jog their grief by gorging themselves
With baked pig and other delicacies,
not knowing what disposition had
been made Of the missing bride. Toe
p1ofessed great regret for her folly,
declared that she had entirely over
come her love for Malietoa, and would
henceforth be dutiful sister. But
she had not proved false to her lover.
She sent him a letter, and within a
few hours a war canoe containing
seventy warriors, armed to the teeth,
put into Sola Sola. The faithful Toe
had so arranged that the guard Of old
women, under whose surveillance she
had been placed, should be out of
reach at the appointed time. When
the war canoe came inside of the
| reef she rushed forth, and without
tarryipg to cast off her simple appareR
boldly plunged into the water, swan;
out to the boat and was taken os
board. Then she sank into the armsl

TEsE EEgIMAN FEET.
How to Preserve and Keep Them in Good Con
dition--Corns and their Cure.

A pretty foot, says Goethe, is
the one element ct beauty which
dehes the assaults ofage. If prop
erly cared for, it remains as per
feet at seventy as it was as seven
teen.
TO preserve the feet in a thor
oughIy healthy and comfortable
state the frat object Of attention
should be thorough cleanliness.
For this purpose they should be
frequently soaked in warm or
tepid water, good yellow soap be-
ing freely used to remove the
dirt and perspiration which &C.
cumulate about them. This should
be done, if possible, every day in
summer, every other day in spring
and autumn and twice q day in
winter. The appropriate time for
the operation is at night, before
retiring to rest. About once a
fortnight the nails Of the toes
should be inspected, when each OF
them that requires it should be
pared with a sharp penknlte TO
prevent them becoming incon-
veniently long or growing into
the flesh. Their proper length is
that of the toes, and the shape Of
their extremities that Of the natu-
raj curve Of the part. If they are
allowed to grow beyond the end
of the toes they are liable to be
forced back and distorted BY the
| pressure OF the boot or shoe and
to grow into the flesh, while II
they are shorter or much shorter
than the toes, the extremitles otthe
latter lose their natural support.
1t is highly necessary to The
preservation OF health to keep the
feet dry, and to shelter them
from cold and sudden changes OF
temperature. Persons who are
exposed to the wet or cold should
therefore regard sound and good
boots and shoes as Of the first i'm
portauce. In a hygienic point OF
view @ wet back should be less
stunned than wet cr cold feet
We may trace one half of the CON
snmptions Of this country to colo
suddenly applied to the feet BY
which the sensible sxhalatlon is
checked and it is not sufficiently
impressed upon the mind that
when once the regular perspira
ton from the feet is checked 1t is
a matter of the utmost difficulty
to restore it.
Tender feet generally arise from
the neglect Of cleanliness, the USE
of thin cotton stockings, and boots
and shoes that are either too
tight or stiff. The best treatment
of tender feet IS soaking them
nightly in tepid water, to which
a handful of bran may be added
When the tenderness is extrem'

borax of sal-ammoniac should b.

When golden Success lights our way!
How they smile as they softly address us
So cordial, good humored, and gay!
But ali! when the sun Of Prosperity

And cry out, in tones of severity:
"Kick the man! Don't you see he is down :"
What though, when you knew not sorrow,
Though your heart was open as day,

You obliged, and ne'er asked them to

What though not soul you e'er slighted!

And traders all sing out your praise;
