TIE LITTLE FEET.

Across the lonely chamber floor
And down the passage through the hall
The little feet resound no mores
There cometh through the open door
No merry voice, no laughing call
Across the lonely chamber foori
But where the sunlight flashes DER
Gray tapestry and pictured WALL
The little feet resourd no morel
Perehance upon distant shore
They wander now--no more to fall
Across the lonely chamber floor.

Why comes the summer to restore
Bright hollyhoeks and lilies tali9--
Ths hsle feet resound no more!

Her words are desolation all; .
Across the lonely chamber fooR
The little feet resound no more!

It has been suggested that if the
people of this country would deprive
themselves of luxuries of all kinds for
a year, times would become good
again. At first sight, remarks the
New York Tribune, this seems plsusi-
BILE; but how would it affect the hun
rdreds of thousands of men, most of
them working men, who are msnufac-
turing or producing these luxrries?

VOLCANIC DUST.

A Londoner Who Collects and Sells the
Product of Eurnipg Mountains.
In all the large centers of the world
there are few dealers who make
business of collecting meteorological
specimens and other material illustrat-
ing natural history. A man in London
has recently been making something Of
speciality of the collection of volcanic
dusts. lie sent trustworthy agent
awhile ago to the great Andes OF the
equator, and now he is advertising dust
from number of famous volcanoes.
lie sells the material in BOTTLES at
about thirty-fvc cents bottle. Each
sample contains ono grain or more.
Among these collections is volcanic
dust from Cotopaxi which fell at Quito
on June &c, 1877, after journey
through the air Of thirty-four miles
Then he has dust from Cotopaxi which
was elected to u height of forty thou
sand feet above the level of the sea in
1880 and fell ON Chinborazo after
journey of sixty-four miles. The finest
particles of this dust weigh less than
one nty-fve-thousandth part of a
grain. Then there is dust from
the terminal slope of Cctopaxi such
as is daily elected by the volcano
at the height of nineteen thousand five
hundred feet above the sea. There are
many specimens of lapclli from AM
bato, mostly pumice. The town of Am
bato is built upon deposit of this ma
terial Fine volcanic dust has been Sc
cured from Machachi, where it exists
as a continuous stratum ten inches
thick, the product of some unrecorded
eruption of great intensity. 1t consists
largely of feldspar and hornblend, and
Mr. Whimper says it is almost as soft
to the touch as cotton wool" Fine
puinice dust from the same volcano
forms beds many feet in thickness.
These volcanic dusts form many inter-
csting and instructive objects of the
microscope. The same dealer has fine
and coarse dusts from Mount Etna and
the typical lavas from Cotopaxi and
Chimborazo. He also sells pieces of
pumice from Krakatoa which were
washed ashore, thousands of miles
away, on the coast Of Madagascar, and
volcanic dust from st. Lucia which fell
