Little Half Worn Shoes.

God bless the little feet that never &C
astray,
For the little shoes are empty, in my
closet laid away;
Sometimes take one in my hand. for
getting till l see
1t is a little half-worn shoe, not large
enough for me;
And at once l feel a sense of bitter
loss and pain,
AS sharp as when two years ago it cut
my heart in twain.
Oh, little feet, that wearied not, l wait
for them no more.
For I am drifting on the tide, but they
have reached the shore,
And while the binding teardrops wet
these little shoes so old,
l try to think my darling's feet are
treading streets of gold.
And l lay them down again. but al
ways turn to say,
GOD bless The little feet that now so
surely can not stray.
And while I thus am standing l almost
seem to see
The little form beside me just as it
used to be;
Dear little face uplifted. with sweet
and tender eyes;
All, me, I might have known that look
was born Of Paradise.
I reach my arms out fondiy, but they
grasp the empty air,
There is nothing of my darling but the
shoes he used to wear.
Oh, the bitterness of parting can not
be done away
Till meet my darling walking where
his feet can never stray;
When l no more am drifted upon the
surging tide.
But with him safely landed upon the
rivers side
Be patient heart, while waiting to see
the shining way,
For the little feet in the golden street
can never go astray.

TOBACCO.

Tobacco is a fragrant weed by which
man Is converted into hnman smoke
stack. Some men are more success
ful in this line than others and smoke
faster than an aged cook stove with
open pores. while others will toy with
cigar for hours at time and then
lock 1t in the safe for future reference.
Tobacco was discovered by the emil
Raleigh. soon after he had landed in
Virginia. Sir Walter was a pure man
when he came to this country, but
on making the acquaintance OF the
pure Havana filler, then extensively
grown in Virginia, he became addicted
to the corn-cob pipe habit and fell off
rapidly in weight and public esteem.
On returning to England Sir Walter
took some tobacco with him and in
troduced 1t among the nobility, who
learned to smoke through their noses
and ears with a genteeH air.
Tobacco is quite often used in the
manufacture OF cigars, although base
limitations formed Of the humble cab
bage leaf are occasionally foisted upon
helpless public. The lowest and most
reprehensible form of tobacco is tho
campaign cigar, which draws harder
than a 6-year-old touring car with
two fiat tires and throws Oft dark,
Roquefort cheese aroma. There 10 no
law forbidding the manufacture and
sale of the campaign cigar, and yet
Congress permits the distribution "
cider vinegar which never got within
gunshot Of an apple orchard. This
teaches US that Congress Is owned body
and soul by the tobacco trust and
and should be abolished sine die.
Tobacco was intended for men only.
but OF late years 1t has permeated in
to the boudoir Of the weaker sex by
