An INVENTION IN SHOEMAKING.- -
For the past six months a Boston inven-
tor has been making a shoe by a process
which it is calculated, will reYolutionize
theeutire business. The process is very
simple, but decidedly practicable. as it
IS equal ~ applicable to .adies' work as
10 that of heavy work for men. Here
tOtOTe, 10 the manufacture of hand
screwed work, the upper leather, which
remains as after sewing he welt to the
inner sole, has either been cut off or
tackled down and the upper space flied,
but by the new method the upper, after
having been fastened to the sole, is turn
ed back over the welt, and IN turning is
again sewed TO the outer sole. thus ma
king The boot dOubiy strong, and max
ing it virtually waterproof. In case a
poor inner sole is used, so that the sew.
ing gives way, the welt still acts as a
lever, and there is no possibility of the
upper pulling out. In the manufacture
of common work for women, where ma
chimes are used, there is a rough seam
left on the inside Of the shoe, which is
decidedly uncomfortable to the wearer,
whereas, if made by the process alluded
to, the inside of the boot is left perfect
ly smooth. Then, again, in the old
method nails are used to a greater or
less extent in lasting, which in due time
viii give the wearer UNNECESSARILY dis
cOmhture; but this is entirely obviated
by the new process, as no nails are used.
as the upper does not require to be fas-
tened to the inner sole except by the sew
ing. Those who have investigated the
process are loud in their praises and
compliment the inventor highly upon
his success.

4 Soldiers Dying Wish.

Shortly after the close of the war a soldiers
fair was given at Music Hall, Boston, and
among the many interesting incidents was the
following related by the correspondent CT the
Albany EUeaiag Journal:
As stood to-day looking at the bristling lines of
bayoncts that rise either side of the great organ
and are surmOuntcd by the blood stained banners of
the Massachusetts regiments. was conscious of a
stir and murmur in the crowd that caused me to
turn and look behind me. pale and haggard
couutenance, lit by eyes of wonderful power and
EXPRESSION met me. and | drew back instinctvely
to make room for their pOSSesSOr.
He was only private but had enlisted in the
Sixth Massachusetts the very next day after the
Presidents call for troops in 1861; had been
wounded in that ever memorable passage through
service until finally, at Fredericksburg, his leg
shot away, and his lower Jaw was torn and terribly
disfgured by mimic ball. Now, dying with
sumption, he had come home, and could not die
in peace" he said, until he had been carried to
the hall to look at the tattered and bloody flag
under which he had fought long He was
supported by two men, and slowly and painfully
made his way up to the platform where it hung,
waving solemnly as If pronouncing benedlction
on the poor pilgrim who had given his life in its
holy service.
AS he reverenty lifted his cap and saluted it, it
required no prophetic vision to the martyrs
crown already descending that young head;
and many heart in that vast crowd was baptized
anew in the flood of patriotic devotion that weled
up INTO eyes all unused to tears"
\ few feet from him stood Edward Everett the
scholar, the statesman, and the patriot whom New
England delights to honor; but in the great book of
records who shall say that the name of this poor,
common soldier may not shine as brightly II it can
pot hold as lofty place?

SONGS OF THE CAMP.
The Old Army BIanket-A Parody.
BIZ II. T. Peek.

How precious to view are the old army treasures
Now serving as relics in many home!
Mementos OF days of more hardships than pleas
Expressiyely mute and with eloquenoe dumb.
Again we go back to rations OF " hard-tack'
Ana salt mule that Oft made our stomachs
rebel
In mind, gaze on the musty old haversacl
That hangs by the blanket that served us well.
Inc OLD army blanket, the coarse, wooen
blanket
Now moth-eaten blanket that served us SO well.
When after a long. weary march in the country
To camp we returned feeling dirty as 'shacks,"
1t did not surprise to find that our blankets
Had captured a number of Southern gray
Then, mt the days close while in bivouac resting,
- As over the multitude peacetulness fell,
How oft we have pillowed ourh head on fence rail,
ELWfipped ny The blanket that served US so well.
The old army blanket, the warm army blanket,
The priced army blanket that served us so well.
In fresh recollection there come up before us
The scenes of our army life stirring and sad
The battlefield stern, where Death > demons in
chorus
Shrek out their deem malice in utterance mad
Again, IN the awful collision of forces,
We list the sharp mimic, the hurting shell
The iorctaste of hell, where Confusion reioces-
Revived by the blanket that served us SO well.
The old army blanket, the useful old blanket,
The comforting blanket that served us so well.
How many a comrsde whose step did not falter,
With holy ambition went forth to the fight,
Determined 10 place or his country high altar
His life ii need be, in defense of the Right
How many a hero, thus haIoed with glory,
We We IAId III his grave near the spot where he
Unllnelled and uncof1fned and ehastly and CORY
But wrapped in the blanket that served him so

blanket,
Which e en- to the last served the martyr so well.

II was on the Crmea's dreary plain,
When England fought the Russian power;
regiment mid fiery rain,
Forgot in some tremendous hour
To keep their honor fair and bright
INT ere the victory was won,
Smitten with paiiid coward fright,
The posi- of duty left; and run.
Next morn they kcenly felt their shame;
With dropping heads upon parade,
They heard the stern. cold words of blame,
That robbed each soldier OF his grade:
"Nou have disgraccd the flag you bore,
And stain n'd what once was fair and bright.
Your hands shall never bear II more
Without your colors you must fight"
For many weeks they had their shame,
Offrcezing watch aud fiery strife;
Their punishment WAS hard to bear;
4 constant shame outwCaries life.
With contrte words they ask again,
The cOlors that should DER them wave,
And vow'd ito keep them free from stain,
The colors of the True and Brave"
The General said, 1T may be so;
Non hill with men and cannon black
Must | e taken they who go
To do that work, must not turn back,
But pointing TO the tOpmOst peak
Where Russian flags were flying fair)
"This is the hopeful word speak:
Your cotOrS, soldiers, are up Here!"
Each sought his captains Iindling eye,
Then in ii moment turn d about;
They meant To take the hill or die,
Asup they went with ringing shout.
And the great army, watching, saw
The victory, not too dearly bought,
When on the very tupmOst tower,
The humbled colOrs proudly float.

Alone, alone, how dark and drear
Is life within this prison cell!
My cold damp couch seems but bier,
My very voice funeral knell
That sadly tolls amid my pains,
In mockery OF these iron chains.
hear the music Of the bells
Float out upon the summers air
Now like the sea their chorus swells,
Now family rs the breath of prayer
Yet lingering still as if to bless
My heart within its loneliness.
The tide comes up from out the bay,
The sails ride to and fro,
] stand and watch them all the day
Q Ont on the stream below;
But bending sail nor flowing sea
Brings one sweet word of Joy to me.
For treason taints the soft South air,
And orphans cry aloud for bread;
While Murder stalking everywhere,
Laughs q er its own uuhuried dead
Till Hell seems bursting all aflame,
And Freedom hides her face in shame.
Oh, strike again, ye marshaed hosts
Who draw the sword for Liberty!
For now the hated tyrant boasts
This land shall bow to Slavery" ="
And yonder where the blue cross waves
Goes up the shout, Ye too are slaves.''
Let not the Past be all in vain,
Nor pause to sOOthc thy widowed sorrow
Thy heroes sleep upon the plain,
And glory waits thee on the morrow;
For God VIII hold the Freeman's hand
And guide thee well, my own proud land!

The Apothecary's Curious Valentine and What
Came Of 1t.
by II. b. 3. VI

1t was a lonely house for child to live in
only papa, who had been i'll for many months
little Ida herself, the ten -year-old mistress of
the establishment, and Mrs. Libby the house
keeper. Across the street the postman had
been ringing all day Ida watching at the
window, with piece of red flannel around her
throat, had seen little lads and lassics slipping
envelopes under the doors; then small girls
and sometimes big girls, came out on the steps,
looked up and down the street, and smiled as
if they were very much pleased
"Why do they get SO many letters to-day?"
asked Ida timidIy.
Mrs. Libby was cleaning the nursery closet,
and answered shortly: "Those are valentines; {;
come away from the window You'll get cold +"
valentines" said Ida thoughtfully to her
self; q" wonder what that is"
She slipped down 10 the library and dragged
the Y encyclopaedia beside the register. Ida
had long since adopted the plan of looking up
Mrs. Libby's replies i'll papa's library. The
child's head bent over the page: q" Valentines
q declaration Of affection between two people,
sent on st. Valentines Day, the fourteenth OF
February"
"a valentine must be something very nice"
thought Ida, the children over the way were
so happy; | wish | could send one, but only
know Mrs. Libby. And with sigh, she put
the heavy book back. Mrs. Libby came down
stairs with her bonnet and shawl on, and Ida,
TAX ing Il Slldil purse ITOul HtT pocket, it9htu,
"Will you please to buy u valentine?"
"What for2"
" For me to give to you"
Nonsense! Little girls don't send valen-
tines to Old women like me- Keep your ten
cents TO put i'll the box, when you get well
enough to go to church"
Ida sat still d long time after this She
wanted to be like other little girls, but all the
little girls she had ever known intimately were
in books, and it SO happened that none Of these
had ever spoken of Valentines Day. The
telephone bell rang. Ida heard the housemaid
order L" five pounds of coffee crushed sugar to
be sent up Immediately" and then an idea
came into the child's mind: 1 can't go out to
buy valentine, but l can telephone one"
She repeated again, " A valentine is a decara-
tion of affection; yes | can telephone IA decla-
ration of affection. Mrs. Libby is out. Papa
can't hear in his room, and III get Mary to 20
down and look at the furnace" Thus Ida
| made her plans.

What Becomes of Lost Jewels.
[From The Boston Journal.I


Several months ago lady residing on Bea-
con street took off number of rings from her
fingers ana laid them upon her dressing table.
After washing her hands she returned to the
room to replace her rings, when, to her aston
iShment, one OF them, q diamond ring, was
missing. She was certain that she took the
ring from her finger, and equally certain that
no one could have entered the room without
her knowledge during the five minutes she
had been in the bath room. A most rigid
search was instituted but the missing ring,
valued at 5000, was not found. \ few weeks
since the lady was much annoyed by mice.
Almost nightly they held their revels. They
not only destroyed her sleep, but choice laces
were mutiated. The lady procured a trap, one
Of the Old-tashiOned kind, and, having baited
it with tempting bit of cheese, placing it near
the scene of depredations On the following
morning she had three fine silky mice of vari-
Gus sizes. One of them was so peculiarly con-
structed that it attracted her attention, as it
appeared to have string tied around its body.
The servant girl was instructed to drown the
captives, and reset the trap, and she was about
to throw the dead mice into the dirt barrel
when her eye was attracted by sparkle from
what proved to be the lost diamond ring, which
was not perceptible when the mouse was alive,
but which came to light after the severe soak
ing which the mouse received. 1t is supposed
that in his haste to get away he ran his head
through the ring, ana SubSeq quenU struggles
only forced it over his forelegs, where it
remained.
From the Bodie Free PresSI
Last September several young ladies and
gentlemen from BOdie California visited
Lundy on picnic excursion. While out fish
ing in the lake one of the ladies dropped a
small earring overheard, and it Immediately
disappeared She mourned her loss, of course,
and never expected to see the piece of jewelry
again. On Monday last John Murphy, Mill
Creek miner, caught three pound trout i'll
Lake Lundy while fishing through hole in the
ice. When the fish was opened the lost earring
was found inbedded in one of its gills. When
the earring sunk in the water the trout evil
IDENTIFY grabbed it, and in trying to swallow it
the pin pierced the gill.
