Mrs. Sprague.

Olive Logan has paid visit 10 Mrs.
Sprague at her home near Washington,
"Edgewood," where her famous father
to live, and was perfectly fascinated
with this beautiful and brilliant wo-
man." Olives heart glowed with an af-
fectionate warmth as she saw how iso-
lated her life is there at her fathers old
place, so near the whirl of Washington
life, and yet so far removed from it all.
She describes her existence as that of a
perfect recluse, and was touched to the
heart at the noble dignity with which
she bears her SORROWS. Her children are
beautiful and accomplished far beyond
the average, and being called into the
drawing room to see the visitors, with
charming grace they recited poems in
French and German, and played duets
upon the piano. Their mothers love for
them Is absorbing, as in theirs for her,
and in this circumstance the studento of
human nature in its purest aspects finds
the clearest refutation of the terrible
charges made against her honor.

The Naked Truth.

Falsebood and truth-the story goes
Upon the beach one summer day.
Unrobed and, lying down their clothes,
Bathed in the waters Of the bay.
Now plump and roseate was Truth,
With rounded arm and well-turned
limb,
A'countenance aglow with youth
That God above had given him.
But falsehood's legs were long and slim,
His boDy face wrinkled and old,
His claw-like fingers, poor and thin,
Clutched like miser grasplng gold.
And jealous feelings filed bis breast
While battling with the briney bay;
So, hidden by a waves white crest,
He watched his chance to slip away.
All uhperceived he scrambled out,
And wrapped Truths robes around
his form;
The ample vestments tapped about
Like fiuttering sails amid storm.
But ever since he lifts his head,
And swaggers like lusty youth;
While far behind, with faltering tread.
Abashed, ashamed, comes naked Truth.

The name, as Ross heard it through the
confusion, was Mary Bell"
There was only time for bow and a
hurried goodbye and he was gone.
The next afternoon Ross entered a
large retail store in one of our New En-
gland cities and proceeded to open bis
valise in order to display his samples.
After one glance, however, he closed the
valise hurriedly, with curious express
sion on his face and a half-smOthered
laugh in his voice, as be said to the
dealer:
There's mistake. Hodgekins. This
isn't my yalige. Good day-Ill see you
again"
And away he posted, leaving Hedge
kins to stare after him in open-mouthed
establishment.
Twenty minutes later he had entered
his room at the Penix House, and with
an expression of intense Curiosity and
amusement, was investigating the con-
tents of the satchel which he had taken
as his own.
First, there was pair of slender black
kid slippers-slippers that would barely
admit of two of Ross's big fingers being
thrust into the toe. Then there were
hair brush and comb, a toothbrush,
some hankerchiefs, and white garment,
mnch trimmed and berufiied. which Ross
held rather 9ingerly at arms length and
Hooked at with a curiosity that was tru-
ly feminine. One might have thought
that this innocent white garment was
one of the seven wonders of the world.
But of course this yonpp man. having
sisters. knew it to be a very common
place affair indeed-simply robe de

mans sister.
But what pleased him most, he found
in the veIy bottom of the satchel a

Jostle him out from the warmth and
light
Only q vagrant, feeble and gray;
Let him reel on through the stormy
uight-
What though his home be miles away
With a muttered curse on wind and
rain
Hecrept alongthroughthe mirey lane,
Lonely the pathway, and dark and cold,
Shelter he sought meath ruined wall
Over his senses numbness stole,
Round him sleep threw her mystic pail,
Then an angel came with pitying tears
And lifted the vail Of by-gone years.
Gayly be sports by ripping brook;
Soft is the breath of the summer air,
Flowers adoru each mossy nook,
Sunshine and happiness everywhere.
He is Willie now, just four years old,
With rosebud lips and curls of gold.
Hark to the roll of the warlike drum!
See the brave soldiers go marching by
Home from the battle young Willie has
come,
OOuIdkC anu gOy Al nAo oko-A ~ ~
And his pulses thrill with hope and
pride,
For he soon will greet his promised
bride.
Now in the fireside's Pickering glow
Calmly he is taking his evening rest,
Fondly he kisses his infants brow,
Sleeping secure on its mothers breast.
(And the dreamer stirred and family
smiled)
He is William now with his wife and
child.
The curtain dropped-the morning broke
Faint was the flush Of the eastern
sky;
Moaning and wretched the sleeper woke,
Brushing tear from his bloOd-shot
eye,
To his squalid home beyond the hill,
With saddened heart crept poor old
Bill.

About COrns.

Within six blocks of my Boston resi-
dence there are eleven corn-doctors.
Some of them employ a number of
operators, and do an immense business.
A large majority of adults, among the
better classes, suffer from corns or other
maladies of the feet. Walking, the
best of exercises, would be indefinitely
increased if our feet were healthy.
Prompted by suffering in my own
person, and by sympathy with the sore
footed cripples about me, have studied
the subject with care and interest.
Let me give you the result of my OBJ
servation and thought: The sole IS too
narroU! 1t has long been suspected
that narrow sole was the great trouble
in this world. The particular suffering
under consideration, / am sure, all, or
nearly all, comes from too narrow
sole. A-s
My friend Mrs. c., on reading the
chapter in "Our Girls" devoted to
4" Boots and Shoes" came to say that,
although she was a sufferer from corns,
and general crippled condition of feet,
her shoes were, nevertheless, enormous;
twice the size of her feet. She wished
1 would see if was not so. / examined
her shoes and agreed with her that they
were too large. As she stepped, her foot
rocked over first on one side and then
on that. Now it pressed over on the
outside, rubbing down over the edge of
the sole, and touching the ground, and
perhaps, if the ground were at all une-
ven, on the very next step her boot
would rock over on the other side of the
sole. Such friction between the little
toe and the big toe joints against the
upper leather must invariably produce
corns. think the majority of boots are
too large.
Mrs. G. wished me to accompany her
to the shoemaker's and see what 1
was becoming torture. We went to
her own shoemaker. Curiously enough,
his name is Shoemaker. Mrs. e. hob
bled to q seat and declared, 81 won't
try to walk again, there!"
Her shoe was removed and Mr.. Shoe
maker marked around her foot when
the mark and found that it was exactly
four inches. That was the width of her
foot when she stepped on it without
shoe. Then we measured the sole OF
the shoe she had been wearing, and
found it two and half inches. Here was
the secret of the whole trouble.
A pair of shoes were made for her at
once, with soles four inches broad. Now
she can walk for hours without q pain in
her feet.
There are millions of poor sufferers in
this country, who are limping and hob
bling through the world, who might be
perfectly relieved and cured by the same
means.-Cor. Golden Rule.
