A Romance of a Pretty Foot.

Philadelph 1% Times. ; I don’t know that there is anything in the world thatjs so well calculated to excite envy as a pretty foot, and when a person can boatt of such a possession he or she is very apt, if poverty doesn’t stand in the way, to make the most of it. A pretty foot is a fortune to a woman. La9t year I made a pair of shoes for a lady who lad as pretty feet as were ever fashioned. It was a pleasure for me to make the shoes, and when they were finished I put them in the show-window in a very conspicuous place where I could view them at my leisure. Pretty soon a nicely-dressed gentleman stopped and began looking at them very attentively. Presently he entered the etore and inquired il they were for sale. I told him no, that they were made for one of my customers. He looked surprised and asked the lady’s name. I would.not give him this much satisfaction, but told him where she lived, however. 1 was considerably surprised to.learn afterward that be was calling at the house, and more surprised still when the lady, accompanied by the gentleman, called at the store three months later. She called him “dear” then, so I guess they were married.

Not Ashamed to Work.

An eloquent divine on Sunday drew one of the most important lessons from the life of General Garfield for the consideration of young men from the feentlment, "He was not ashamed to* work.” It underlies all the grand structure of bis life. He did not sit idly on the street oorners and cry out for more wages and fewer hours, and refuse to l&bo* unless his demands were met. Whether it was tbq pittance of SB.OO per' month on the canal, a slender income as a teacher in a log school house, or a generous allowance as a General of the army or a Legislator, he was at all times earnest and diligeou. The greatest failure in life is the nPglecf of small things. Young men are too apt to despise them, or pass them as trivial and beneath their dapadty. * Mdntiave had ‘‘greatness thrust upon them,” but no man or men ever Carved their own way to a place by Ihe side of the intellectual Seers of earth who neglected little uties. tl.

An apafation for a law punishing stage robbers with death is going on in Missouri. A Richmond lad named Ruby, while amusing him-elf by firing pebbhs from a devil siing Wednesday, put out the only remaining eye of James Ladd, a poor imbecile colored man. An lowa dog has cost its owner $950 in dams gen fur bites, and the man tiedares that impecunious neighbors hang around on purpose to ba bitten, knowing that he settles the claims properly. Mamie Richards,a Wisconsin schoolmistress, is to have a medal because she walked daily to and from her school, through five miles of dense forest, in which were prowling wolves. A couple had taken their places before a clergyman to bo married, at Lowville, N. Y., when a quarrel arose about the handling of the ring, and the wedding was postponed indefinite-. iy. Last Sunday evening a portion of hanging rook, on the North Madison turnpike, weighing several tons, fell into the road below, tearing up the road considerably. The huge roek was broken into small pieces and spread upon the roadbed. r ‘
