UTILE FEET.
BY FLORENCE PERCY.
Two little feet, so small that both may nestle
In one caressing hand
Two tender feet upon the untried border
Ol Llfe.s mysterious land;
Dimpled and soft, and pink as peach-tree
blossoms
In April's fragrant days ,
How can they walk among the bslery tangles
Edging the world's rough ways ?
These white-rose leet along the doubtful future
Must bear a woman's load;
Alas ! since woman bears the heaviest burden
And walks the hardest road.
Love, for awhile, will make the path before
them
All dainty, smooth and fair
"Will cull away the brambles, letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mother's watchful eyes are
surouue'.i
Away from sight of men.
And these 'dear Jeet are left without her
gummg,
Who shall direct them then ?
How will they' be allured, betrayed, deluded,
rwr uiiie uuiaugm ieew
Into- what dreary mazes will they wander!
What dangers will they meet T
Will they go stumbling blindly In the dark
ness
Of Sorrow's tearful shades?
Or find the upland slopes of Peace and Beauty,
wnose suniignt never laaes 7
Will they go tolling up Ambition's summit,
The common world above ? .
Or In some nameless vale securely sheltered
ivaiK sme uy siae witn ixvev
Some feet there bo which walk Life's traek
unwounnea.
Which find but tileasant tots:
Some hearts there be to wnlch this life is only
A round ot happy days.
But they are few. Far more there are who
wander
Without a home or friend
Who find their Journey full of pains and
losses,
And long to reach the end.
i
How shall It be with her, the tender stranger,
Fair-faced and gentle-eyed,
Before whose unstained let the world's rude
highway
Stretches so strange and wide "
Ah! who may read the future? For our dar
ling We crave all blessings sweet.
And prav that He who feeds the crying ravens
Will uide the baby's feet.
The Literary Wife.
Reader, tvere you ever at Lackawack,
in the State of New York? I will give
you a brief description of the place. It
is a thriving village situated on a river
of the same name one of the many
places the names .of which are those
given to the locality by the aboriginal
inhabitants that, prior to the intrusion
of the pale-faces, roamed in conscious
freedom over the land the Great Spirt
had given them. It is a place of consider
able business. Iron and leather are man-'
ufactured in large quanties, and quite a
number of retail stores furnish the in
habitants with the necessary comforts
of life. The surroundings are pictur
esque and grand. High mountains rear
their heads in grandeur on either side,
like guardian sentinels over trie unpre
tending hamlet.
In the immediate vicinity are fine
farms, with large orchards, that in
'spring are fragrant and blooming with
the promise of luscious fruit, which the
autumn realizes. In autumn, too, the
broad acres of golden grain gladden the
heart of the husbandman, as he realizes
a bouutful reward for bis toil.
Here our heroine dwelt. You will
doubless be glad to learn something of
ner History. Her fathers name was
Charles Reynolds. He owned a store in
Lackawack, and was a man of business
abilities', much respected for his sterling
integrity and moral worth. The part
ner of bis joys and sorrows possessed
those traits of character which consti
tute true womanhood. During the fif
teen years ,of their married life, they
were blessed with four children ; but
the grim monster snatched all save a
daughter, Ernestine by. name, from their
embrace.
When i-rnestme was fourteen years
of age, Mr. Reynolds died. Our herione
and her mother continued to live in
their beautiful cottage borne in the sub
urbs of the town. Mr. Reynolds was a
rnan of taste, and fitted up his home
with reference to convenience and
beauty. Jasmines, Virginia creepers and
other vines clambered over the roof; the
front yard was decorated with llowers,
shade trees, and gravel walks. In the
rear of the dwelliug was a good-sized
orchard of well-selected fruit, and patch
es or strawberries and other small fruit,
that, with but little care or labor, af
forded them desirable luxuries.
By economy and industry, combined
with a small income from Mr. Rey
nolds' estate, the mother and daughter
were able to maintain themselves in
comfortable circumstances. Ernestiue
had early manifested an unusual apti
tude for acquiring literary and scientific
Knowledge. Her advantages for obtain
ingan education had been only those
afforded by the village school, and the
instruction of her girted and educated
mother. She was twenty years of age

reader.
We have now another character to
make you acquainted with : Alfred
Trentraan. He was reared in a rural
district. His father wasa farmer of lim
ited means, and found that it required
diligent application to business, as well
as frugality, to rear a large family. He
managed to supply them with all the
necessary comtorts ot lite, and took; es
pecial care to provide them with ad van
tages for obtaining a sufficient amount
of education to qualify them for filling
positions of usefulness aud respectabil
ity. Alfred early manifested an aptitude
and aointy for the mercantile business.
as well as a distaste for the avocation of
the farmer. His judicious father al
lowed aud encouraged him to pursue
that calling to which he seemed most
naturally inclined. At the age of six
teen he was placed in a store In a village
a few miles distant. Here, for three
years, he gave careful attention to busi
ness, and by his honesty, industry and
integrity won the confidence and re
spect of his employers. He gained
good practical knowledge of the mercan
tile business, as well as book-keeping,
At the age of nineteen he went to the
city of New York, into an establishment
owned by an intimate friend of bis
father's. At this place he remained five
years, nts salary increasing each sueces
si ve year. At this lime he made arrange'
ments to go into business for himself.
Five years previous, he weut to the
village of Lackawack, partly on busi
ness, to see aner some debts that were
due his employers, and partly for re
creation. Here, during his btay, he
formed the acquaintance of our heroine;
ne was captivateu uy ner amiaDiiity, in
telligence and purity of character. Ere
hereturned to the city he made known to
Ernestine bis preference for her, and
found that it was reciprocated. He had,
during his stay in the quaint country
town, been a frequent visitor at our her
oine's comparatively humble home,and,
being a shrewd judge of character,
justly came to the conclusion that
mother and daughter were far superior
to the gaudy butterflies of fashion with
whom, since his residence In the. city,
he had associated. At his departure,
arrangements were made for them to
correspond, and he managed to find j
time several times during the ensuing
two years to visit bis betrothed.
When estabiisued in Business, A urea
went to Lackawack aud took Ernestine
back to the city with him as his bride.
Mrs. Reynolds bad disposed of her en
tire property, and with the proceeds,
and a few hundred dollars which Mr.
Trentman was ablo to spare from his
business, a neat residence was purchased
in a genteel street, which was a gift to
Mrs. Trentman in deed as well as in
name. Mrs. Reynolds accompained the
young couple to the city, it being ar
ranged that ueriuture home was to be
with them.
Previous to her marriage, Ernestine
had been in the habit of writing anony
mous articles in both prose and poetry
for country newspapers, aud occasion
ally contributed for magazines. Three
months alter they were settled in their
happy home, iier husbaud one day re
turned from his business, aud entered
the parlor where his wife aud her
mother were sittiue. Ernestine exult
antly handed him the latest number of
a popular magazine, and directed nis
attention to a story she bad written over
her own signature. Instead of the
smile of approbation which she had
fondlv expected, his countenance was
darkened by a frown: and, without
stopping to read more than the title,
and the home of the author, he returned
it with evident displeasure, and said, in
no very nieasant tone:
"I hope you will never be guilty of a
like folly again. I never could endure
the thought that my wife isabluestock
ing. It may be well enough for old
maidsand widows, who have the ability,
to resort to this method of obtaining a
livelihood ; but in my opinion, a mar
ried woman had better be employed in
overseeing her household affairs, which
are certain to be neglected if she dabbles
In literature."
So creat was her disappointment that
it was hardly possible for Ernestine to
suppress her tears. Jiy an ellort she re-
tatned ner composure, and soon retired
to herown room. Here 'she satforsome
time, thinking; finally herdetermina
tlou was taken. .
I will show him," she soliloquized,
"that he is mistaken when he supposes
that literary ladies necessarily neglect
their household duties."
When they met at the supper table,
she was as cheerful as usual. She con
fided her secret to no one save her
mother, who was nroud of ber daugh
ter's ability as a writer, and encouraged
her to prosecute her plans.
Time went on. jur. Trentman oiten
congratulated himself on the neatness
and regularity manifested in his bouse
hold affairs ; he often bestowed merited
praise on his wifeforherexcellent quail
ties as a housekeeper, and more than once
playfully remarket! that the present
happy state or things could not nave
been expected bad He not discouraged
her from employing her time in writing,
On such occasions a smile overspread the
countenances of Ernestine and her
mother, and a meaning glance was ex
changed by them which he did not by
any means understand.
Five years passed. The reading psrt
of the community were excited over the
productions of an unknown writer ob
viously a female.
Alfred was a lover of tine literature,
and, while he deprecated the idea of his
wife's being numbered among author
esses, he cheerfully rurmsbed her with
their productions.
Three volumes rrom the pen oi this
particular writer had been published
and each one had Alfred made a present
to his wife, often expressing bis admir
ation of her talents, and a desire that
he might cultivate her acquaintance.
A lew months alter the reception ot
the last volume, a hnaucial crisis sen
ously affected many heavy capitalists
for awhile. Alfred weathered the
storm, but he soon found that there was
imminent danger of his craft's being no
longer able to stem the tide, Jsirtns
deeply indebted to him failed, aud be in
vain tried to obtain loans. Ot course,
with the prospect of financial ruin be
fora him, he became depressed and de
spondent. He sought beneath a happy
exterior to conceal his feelings, but the
quick eyes of affection peuetrated th
disguise.
After a day of unsuccessful attempt to
avert his threatened doom, he returned
to his home with the most fearful fore
bodings, certain that ere auother even
ing came he would be bankrupt.
He made up his mind to tell his wife
the worst, aud, seating himself beside
her, broke the unhappy news as gently
as possible ; he could not but wonder at
the calmness with which she received
it. He even faucied be saw a smile ou
ber lips and a merry twinkle in her
eyes. He told her be had made every
ellort to save himself, but in vain, an
that on the morrow his notes would bo
protested, and then all would be over
with him.
Mrs. Trentman quietly asked him
what amount he required.
He answered that three thousand dol
Iars in'ready money would place him on
nrm looting again.
She arose from the sofa ou which they
had been sitting, le'ft the room, but
soon returned, carrying in one hand the
three volumes of her favorite authoress,
in the other her bank book, containin
the account of ber deposits, the proceeds
of works she had written amounting to
over four thousand dollars.
As she approached him she said.
"I have often heard vou express vou
admiration of the books, and a desire to
know the gifted authoress, as you have
been pleased to term her. I have now
the pleasure of informing you that sb
stands before you, and has the happi
ness of being able to furnish vou with
the means of averting your threatened
ruin."
At first he could not understand
seemed like a dream ; but he soon rea
lized me truth, and, as he clasped hi
wife to his bosom, tears that did credi
to bis manhood coursed ' down his
cheeks ; tears of joy and thankfulness
to uod lor blessing bim with such
wife.
But little more remains to be told.
Alfred weathered the storm, was effect'
ually cured of hisaversion to blue stock
ings, and became the advocate and
champion of those whom he had form
eriy ridiculed.
The Origin oethe Human Race.
Mr. Darwin traces our genealogy thus
"The early progeultors of man were, no
doubt, covered with hair, both sexes
having beards; their ears were pointed
and capable of movement, and theii
bodies were provided witn a tail having
tue proper muscles. The loot was pre
hensile, and eur progenitors, no doubt,
were arboreal in tbeir habits, frequent'
ing some warm forest-clad land. The
males were provided with formidabl
canine teeth, which served them as for
midable weapons. At a still earlier pe
riod, the progenitors of man must have
Deen aquatic in tbelr habits; for mor
phology plainly tells us that our lungs
consist of a modified swim-bladder
whieh once served as a float. Thes
early predecessors of man, thus seen in
tne dim recess or time, must have beei
as lowly organized as the lancet or am
phioxus, or even still more lowly or
gauized." Darwin's Descent of Man,

Intolerable than ultra politeness.
