French shoes must certain.
ly be very generally regard.
ed as the height Of luxury;
for it is getting to be outs
common to see in the win.
dows Of the more ambitious
shoe stores limitations tia,
French shoes are to be pot
within. Even our shoema.
kers are getting to submit to
the opinion /; for some Of
them actually put French
stamps on their own shoes.

have come to look on foreign

makes no great difference
where the shoes come from
We have actually brought
over two small lots Of French
shoes; and, as we suppose
there has been, in this city,
no other experience in shoes
actually brought from
France, except as travellers
have brought them over, We
don't mind telling how they
act in a store.
We certainly never saw
finer or more beautiful shoes
than these made by Henry
Herth, (Medaille dor, 1879

should be content never to
see finer or more beautiful. /
But we put them by the side
of the best American work,
and nobody can tell which is
which, except by the stamps.
Whether there's any differ
ence in the wear of the two
it is impossible to tell, and
will be impossible for a long
time; tor people who buy
the very finest anything are
not very exacting about
durability and they do no.
easily complain tor want oft.
Let US turn for a moment
to two American shoes that
look exactly alike, and ex.
actly like the French too,
but for a slight difference in
the cut. Both Of them are
made by hand Of the very
choicest feathers. One Of
them is made by a "team"
Of eight men, and the other
is all made by one man ; and
that is the difference between
the two. You can't see any
perhaps there
sn't any but perhaps there
S. Perhaps one chosen
workman can match the
parts of his work better than
eight chosen workmen can
match one another's work.
The shoe that the eight men
make we sell for $780,
The shoe that the one man
makes we sell for $3.50
The French shoe, which va
loubt not is made by one
nan also, we sell for $l7.
Now you see the differ
,nce between these three
shoes: 1t is proper to say
hat the $3.50 shoe is the
'ery best fine shoe that we
AN get. 1t is proper to say
hat we believe Henry
ierth's shoe isjust as good;
hough, being made three
thousand miles away by \
nan that we can't talk with,
We can't know quite so much
bout it. Those who value
he fact of its being French
t $3.50 will buy the French
hoe. And that's about all
re know on the subject at
resent.

 Baby in Church.

Aunt Nellie had fashioned dainty thing,
 Of hamburg and ribbon and lace, .. And mamma had said, as she settled it 'roun6
 Our beautiful baby's face, zs <atess Where the dimples play and the laughter lies Like sunbeam hid in her violet eyes. Eff the day if pleasant and baby is good, She may go to church and wear her new hood, , Then Ben, aged six, began to tell,
 In elder-brotherly way, .~.@>f .tt'& How very, very good she must be }
 If she went to church next day. He told of the church, the choir and the crowd, And the man in front, who talked SO loud ; But she must not talk, nor laugh, nor sing, But just sit as quiet as anything. And so, on a beautiful Sabbath in May,
 When the fruit-buds burst into flowers, (There wasn't blossom on bush or tree
 So fair as this blossom of ours), l --' All in her white dress, dainty and new,. Our baby sat it the family pew, - s... The grand, sweet music, the reverent air, The solemn hush and theSvoice of prayer, Filled all her baby souliwith awe, E ' U !
 AS she sat in her little place And the holy look that the angels wear
 Seemed pictured upon her face. And the sweet words uttered so long ago, Came into my mind with rythmic fow; "Of such is the kingdom of heaven, said He, And know that He spake of such as she. The sweet-voiced organ pealed forth again,
 The collection-boxes came round, And baby dropped her penny in,
 And smiled at the clinking sound Alone in the choir Aunt Nellie stood, Waiting the close of the soft prelude - To begin her solo, High and strong She struck the first note, clear and long. She held it, and all were charmed but one,
 Who, with all the might she had, .,T Sprang to her little feet and cried :: ~;-.' !
 ''Aunt Nellie, yous being 6ad!' The audience smiled, the minister coughed, The little boys in the corner laughed, The tenor-man shook like an aspen leaf And hid his face in his handkerchief. :''t And poor Aunt Nellie never could tell s5 sf
 How she finished that terrible strain, {, But says nothing on earth would tempt
 Her to go through the scene again. So, we have decided perhaps 'tis best, .<,,;sf For her sake, ours, and all the rest, That we wait, maybe, for year or two, .N' Ere our baby re-enter the family pew.

MT. Topnoody and his wife were warmly discussing the woman question Wednesday evening after tea and MT. Topnoody was defending the man.
 Don't you, think, my dear, men have some rights p he asked. .
 "They have about all that are in the market, I think"
 "You talk as though women should have every thing and were perfect. Can't they make mistakes the same as men do?"
 "Oh, yes; they can make even fools of themselves sometimes"
 sYou don't mean it I'm surprised that you would acknowledge it, my dear, after what you have said
 "Well, I do acknowledge it, and will go further and say that have done as much myself"
 1"Ha, ha," laughed Topnoody, ''you of all women, to say that I'd like to ask, my dear, wherein you ever made such a fool of yourself as to own up to it ?"
 "You needn't laugh, Topnoody. I did it when I married you, and I've had it thrown at me forty times and I ain't in a position to deny livery successfully either. <"
 Topnoody stopped laughing. Drum

A gentleman making a tour of South Carolina with the purpose of ascertaining the true condition of affairs, relates that at every depot and railway station he found a number of white men, the greater part of them carrying shot guns and accompanied by dogs, sitting idly around On inquiry as to the general condition of the country, he was invariably told that .things were in bad way" While all acknowledged that the soil was fertile and the climate de- lightful, they insisted that there was no growth. progress or prosperity. On press ing for reason for this paradoxical state of affairs, he was told, t'the d-d niggers won't work" While the negro race has its average amount of lazy and trifing peo- pie, it struck the inquirer as proper conundri1m for the South Carolina grum- blers to ask why the d-d white folks did not set the example = -~.~-----"~~

NOT FUNNY.

The editor of prominent periodical hat among his contributors one bright but CT ratio genius, who always seasoned his mat ter with the spice of humor. One day th' editor called him in and told him he want ed him to bring in several articles withou Any fun about them.
 ssBut how can do t?" pleaded the con tributor.
 "I don't know how, but I know yor can, replied the editor.
 "Well, will you take my judgment or the articles ?"
 "H you promise to be serious, I will. "
 s'All right, think I may be able to sat isfy you that they are serious
 Then he went away, and the next day returned and placed bundle of papers on the editors desk, which that worthy i'm mediately proceeded to examine. After g minute or two, he looked up and said in amazement
 "Why, what's all this? Haven't you given me the wrong stuff?"
 ''I guess not. Whats wrong?"
 "Why, here's bill of $15 for board, an other of $5 for washing, another of $50 for clothes, another of BIO for pew rent, and heaven only knows what's in the rest of the pile"
 VOA, "ut1U D "IOu5 AsiO4O GULL GULL J of them receipted, is there?"
 ''No, not as far as I've seen but don't understand why you should bring them here."
 "Didn't you say you wanted some arti- cles without any fun in them, and didn't you say you'd take my judgment on their being serious, and could have found any thing with less fun in it than what I have brought you? If you don't accept my judgment in this matter, I want to quit right now"
 ''I catch on. But don't quit. I've been there myself, and can see clearly that you have an excellent sense of the serious. I've got a few old manuscripts of the same sentiment on file, and I've not been able to see anything funny in them these many yea1s s!'

A piano firm in Berlin has bought the oak en piles which have just been taken out of the Rhine at Mayence, and which are said to be the original timbers of the bridge which Julius Caesar constructed. -G Geonaaas paper.
 No matter whether it was Julius Caesar or some later sovereign who put these piles in the Rhine, the objecfsof the piano mak- CTS in securing them is apparent. It is found that worm-eaten and partly decayed logs make the best sounding boards for pi- amos. Within few years piano firms have sent agents through Connecticut to find fallen and partly decayed chestnut logs, and such timber has been sold at good prices, after the owners had consider ed it entirely y useless. A few piles, driven by a Julius Caesar -or by his order-wwould be considered quite prize by Webber, Chickering, or Steinway factory. .--Hart- ford Times.

The death of Rev. Charles T. Brooks, says the Brooklyn Chronicle, reminds us of little anecdote. At tea party given by member of Rev. Dr. Thayer's church, the leading Orthodox church of Newport, one summer evening, some 15 years ago, a lady remarked to pr. Thayer that she had great mind to chide him for his intimacy with that Unitarian, Rev. MT. Brooks. ''I must admit, " said the reverend gentleman, ''that Mr. Brooks and are very good friends, and that I am really very fond of him. He is a most delightful companion, and we often go fishing together. To- day, however, while we were on the fishing ground he shocked me by 8 little exhibi- tion of profanity" "Profanity'' exclaim- ed the Orthodox sister, "you don't really mean that Mr. Brooks is profane ?'' ''I must confess that he was somewhat to- day." said good Dr. Thayer. ''You see it happened thus we were at anchor with our lines out, Brother Brooks, the skipper and I, when, after. some tedious waiting, tho skipper cried out, T had d-d good bite then, whereupon Brother Brooks, quickly responded, So did IF" ..3
