Those little tiny Feet.
HY DR. A. HILL.

..»vv~A.vvv..-
I have seen them in the city,
When the snow ivu.-‘l on the ground,
Bare and naked—wliut it pity !
On the side-walk patting ’round ;
And the very tic-sh would quiver.
And their little bodies shiver,
While those little feet went pii~pat,
And their sliitlzing chins went chit-chat,
As they trod along‘ the wziy,
Of the city’s frozen pavements,
Of It dreary Winter's day.
I have seen them in the Summer,
On our lovely village green, _
When each clieerful little comer,
Lost his foot in Nature’s sheen ;
There the bright. green, grassy carpet,
Spremls so softly o'er the ground,
That among those many foothills,
You could never hear it sound.
At other times I see them,
As I walk along my wny,
By our quaint old village School-house,
Where the children are at plsy ;
As they dodge around the corner,
Beating up a swift retreat,
’Tis delightful then to listen,
To the music of their feet.
We have one, that plays so sweetly,
That we sometimes wish for more,
And we almost envy others,
Who are blast with half a. score ;
"Though the good wife may not ks ep things
Always, Just so clean and neat,
Yet ’tis ample compensation,
If she hears those little feet.
I have watched the gentle mother,
With her infant on her lap,
As she gazed upon her darling,
Just awuking from its nap ;
As she caught the smile of beauty,
And her bliss, it seemed complete,
I have seen her in her rapture,
Kiss those little velvet feet.
In the tlioroughfnres of life,
Where so many courses meet,
And the tide of human beings,
Rush along each dusty street ;
There is something in each movement,
And those quick elastic steps,
That never fails to stir the licart
To its profounrlest depths.
In the Prison-_v:ml, where Criminals
In loclrstcp march along,
"l‘is a. sad thing to behold them there,
A vile and motley throng ;
But those feet so hard and horny,
Were in youth as soft and sweet,
As that velvet-footed cherub,
That euch mother loves to greet.
Oh, how painful is the silence,
\\-‘lien we hear the sound no more,
Of that light and joyous font-fall,
Ringing out upon the floor;
And when to the kind inquiry,
It is srgft and sadly said,
" Those little feet are silent now,
Our darlhig child 1': deal! ." ’

How to Earn a Home.
The other evening I came home with
an extra tcn dollar bill in my pocket——-
mouey that I had earned by out of hours
work. The fact is, that I’m a clerk in a
down town store at the salary of $600
per annum, and a pretty wife and baby to
support out of it.
I suppose this income will sound ama-
zingly small to your two or three thou-
smid dollar office holders, but nevertheless
we contrive ‘to live very comfortably upon
it. We live on one floor of an unpretenti-
ing little house, for which we pay $150
per annum and Kitty———my wife, you’|l
understand—does all her own work, so
that we lay up a neat little sum every
year. I’ve got tl. balance of two or three
liunded dollars at the savings bank, the
hoard of several years, and it’s astonish-
ing how rich I feel. Why Rothschild
himself isn’t it circumstance to me i
Well, I came home with my extra. bill,
and showed it triumphantly to Kitty, who
of course was much delighted with my in-
dustry and thrift.
“Now, my love,” said I, “just adclthis
to our account. at the bank, and with in-
terest at the end of the year ”
Forchwitli Icommeuced casting inter-
est and calculating in my brain. Kitty
was silent, and rocked the cradle musing-
ly with her foot.
~ “ I’ve been thinking, Harry,” she said
after a. moment’s pause, “ that since
you’ve got. this extra money, we might
afford to get a new rug. This is getting
dreadfully shabby, my dear, you must
see.”
I looked dolefully at the rug; it was
worn and shabby enough, that was a
fact.
“I can get a beautiful new velvet pat-
tern for seven dollars,” resumed my wife.”
“Vclvet——scven dollars I” groaued I.
“Well, then, a common tufted rug like
this, would only cost three,” said my cau-
tious better half, who, seeing that she
could not carry her first: ambitious "point,
wisely ivlthdrcw lier guns.
“ 'I‘liat’s more sensible,” said I, ‘-‘ Well
we’ll see about it-.
“And there’s another thing I want,”
continued my wife, putting her hand
coaxlugly on my shoulucr, “ and it’s not
at all extravagant either.”
“ Well, what is it ‘.”’ I asked softening
mp idly.
“ I saw such a. lovely silk dress pattern
on Canal Street‘. this morning, and I can
get it foi'_six doll:u's—~only six dollars,
Ilarry 2 It’s the cheapest thing I ever
saw""
“ But liavu’t you got; 9. very pretty
green silk dress ?”
“ Tlzat old I/zin_2'." Why Harry I-’vc
worn it ever since we were married.”
“Is it soiled or ragged 1”’
“No, of course; but who wants to
wear the some green (ll‘€SS forever ?———
Everybody knows it is the only silk 1
liavc.”
“ \Vell, wlint. then ?"
“'.l‘liat’s just a m:iu‘s question,” pout-
ed Kitty. “ And I suppose you have
not odserved how old fasliioucd m_v bou-
uet is getting I"
“ Why, I thought it looked very neat
and tasteful since you put on that black
velvet winter t.rimming.”
“ Of course—~you men have no taste in
such matters.”
We were silent for a. moment; I am
afraid we both felt a little cross and out
of humor with out: anotliei‘. In fact, on
my journey home, I had entertained seri-
ous thoughts of exchanging my old silver
watch for u. more modern time piece of
gold, and had mentally appropriated the
ten dollars to furtliering that purpose.-
Savings bank reflections had come later.
As we sat befor our fire, each wrapped
in tbouglit, our neighbor, Mr. \Vilniot.,
knocked at the door. He was employed
in the same store as myself, and his , wife
was an old fmiiily friend.
“ I want you to congratulate me,” he
said, taking in. seat». “I have purchased
that little cottage out on the Blooming-
dale road to-clay.”
“\Vhut! tliat beautiful little wooden
cottage with the piazza and lawn, and
fruit garden behind ?” cxciaiuiccl Kitty
almost cnviously.
“Is it. possible?” I cried. A little
cottage home of my own, just; like that I
had often uclmirccl on the Bloomingdale
road, had always been the one crowning
ambition of my life-—a distant and almost
hopeless point, but not less earnestly
desired. _
"Why, Wilmot,” said I, “ how did
You have only been in
business eight or ten years longer than I,
at_u. salary but it trifllc larger than mine,
yet I could as soon buy up the Ziiinc as
purchase a cottage like tlmtv.”
“Well,” said my uciglibor, “ we have
all been working to this end for _','cm's.—-—
My wife has dJ.i'll_L‘d pi-itchcd, mended
and savc(l—--we have lived on plain fare,
and done with the clu-ripest things. But
the magic charm of the whole ullliir was
that we laid usiclc every pciu-._v that. was

with it sigh.

When our neighbor was gone, Kitty
and I looked meaning-ly at one anotlicr.
“I-Iurry,’-‘ said she, “the rug isn’t so
bad after all, and my green silk will do
for a year longer, with cure.”
“ And 11; Si1,Yel' Watch is quite as good
fit-,1’ all practical purposes as a gold re-
peater,” I replied. “We will set aside
all 'imagi7zarg/ wants.”
“The ten dollar bill must go to the

Pictures in the Fire.
“ It’s :1 shame, Ideclarc !” 7
And little Mrs. Ray threw herself into
it low chair before the fire, with her pret-
ty eyes full of tears, as her; better-linlf
banged the door behind him.
Such a. beautiful silk dress! «such a.
bargaiii, too ! And only twenty-live dol-
lars I To tlilnk that Henry should deny her

its purple folds looked as the sly shop-
mau held it up in the sun, and how be-
coming it would be to her pale, clear com-
plexion l 07:13; twenty-five dollars.
Then, as if in 9. ,dream, the crowded
rooms at Stuii.rt’s seemed to pass away
from her vision, and another picture took
its place among the red, glowing coals of
the grate. It was a dark,’ gloomy count-
ing house, in it narrow business sti'eet,and
she saw her husband, pallid, worn, and
weary, bonding with contracting brow
above a massive ledger. and sighing over
long unsatisfactory accounts.
The flames danced up with long pur-
ple shoots offire—and another scene grad-
ually opened among the white, hot em-
bers. A woman struggling through the
streets, against fierce winds and blinding
snow, pale, fzimislied and despairing ; and
not ouewcman, bnt.scores-—all her sis-
ters in the family of humanity ! And
they were perishing for the lack ufa crust
of brea(l——-mzZ3,/ a crust of bread !
Then followed a shadowy procession of ’
flitting imegcs—-——gaunt and tattered
wretches bending over lonely beds, where
want and poverty wrestled at the thres-
hold with the grim destroycr liimself—-
solitary graves where the flame of life had
gone out for lack of comforts which a
few pence might suffice to buy, and wea-
ry fiugers toiling night and day to se-
cure the nierest pittance that might keep
soul nndbody together.
The little jeweled clock on the carved
mantle ssruck ten with a silvery echo, and
at the same instant a cheerful, manly
voice roused little Mrs. Bay from her
reverie. '
“ Why, Fanny, love witch is the mat-
ter? Sitting all alone in the fire-liglit,
and crying ! Here are your twenty-live
(lollars, my little wife, it’s 3. mere trifle,
and I was wrong not to indulge you in
the first place.”
Mrs. Ilay put her arms softly around
her liusb:ind’s neck and leaned her head
on his shoulclc1'-
“ I don’t want the silk dress any
more, Henry. But I’ll take the money
and lay it. out for those whose needs is
far greater than mine. May I ?”
“ M'a_i/ you ‘.7 IV'li:1t. a question my

American Hotel Life.
Dr. i\l:icl;a._v in one of his letters to the
London Illustmtcal News, speaks about-
our hotel life, as follows :
“ In Ilngjlauil the newly iuarrieil coup-
le take a. lioiise, furnish ii, and live quu-t-
ly at liomc~-in the cities of .-\.incrlc:i———

insolent service. The youiig; wife finds
herself relieved from all the cares and
responsibilities of liousckccpiug” and has
nothing to think of but dress, visiting
and re idiug and amusement-. Brides
who begin married life in hotels, often
continue in them from youth to maturity
and age, without possessing the inestima-
blc advantage and privilege of any more
sccluded home.
To those who know nothing of domes-
tic alfairs, and so those who are willing-
so attend to them, but cannot procure
‘help’ in their household, the hotel sys-
tem is equally well adapted. It saves
trouble, annoyance and expcnce ; but at
what a cost of domestic amenities !—

for ladies to take all their meals every
day, and all the year round, in the full

It is upon this that the whole furor has
planted, and if I had not succeeded in
-curing my patient, it is quite probable
that the asperity of the assault from
some quarters would have been material-
ly modified. But why all this line-and
cry, and vitnperation, and hurling the
bolts of professional iucompetency and
ignorance at fl. poor Homeopatliic prac-
titioner, who up to this hour has made no
public pretensions whatever? If I had
made a mistake in diagnosing and desig-
nating this obscure and extraordinary
case, which, by the way, I do not admit,
I did not make a mistake in the methods
of cure, and much greater and better
men have made similar mistakes in cases
immeasurably less obscure, and it is be-
lieved that the gentlemen who pronounced
the above named snap-judgment in this
case, are not, by any means, ciitircly im-
muculatc in this respect, if, apparently
well autlicnticiitcd facts are to be credit-

the evidence that ought to lead 8. profes-

the disease at all, I have not seen them,
and don’t know that the gfciitlcincn re-

to account for the manner in which Mrs.
W. took it. But if Mrs. W. gave it to
these persons, why did she not give it to
her child? This child is unusually large
and healthy, and a 1-ttle over six months
old, and was in bed with tlie mother and
continued to nurse throiigli the incipient
stage of the disease, as long’ as the moth-
er had auytliiug for it. If it he replied
that nursing children in some instances

friends to be in a. dying state, and took
the Small Pox, and after returning to

had it out at South Norwalk. Upon

And it is not only the influence of this
state of things upon the husband and

who play about the coi'i'ir.loi's and balls of
such mansions, and become prematurely

; luclecd nluinsl all hail ‘the agonles of the ‘
visits, they have been cxceedingly few
and for between, but I have seen not one
that comes up to the idea at all of the
Small Pox or Varioloid pustule. But it
is objected that she has been professional-
ly examined, and it has been ,,“pro-
nomzcccl” to be a case of Small Pox.—-
Wc have had so many “p7'o'rzmI.-7zci'ng'3” of
late, and of such it character, too, that
they are certainly greatly at a. discount.
I confess that I have no respect for Item
professional
" pronounced,” in the absence of all natu-
1-aleviclencc. In so cxcee<_lingly_ doubt-
ful u case it might have been well for the
Board of Health, before proceeding. to
sjiut up :1 man from his business who -had
already been kept away. for three succes-
sive weeks, and suffering another blow to
be struck at the little remaining business
which was left in the place after the pan-
ic, and creating it terrible furor in‘ the
neighborhood. and surroniiding country,
to have paused a little, and instituted
the inquiry lst, Whether the gentleman
who “ pronounced” this opinion wasthe
one who is reported to have “pronowncul"
a marked case of -Small Pox, with-the
ordinary pustulous development, (the case
of Mrs. S. at South Norwalk, five you
ago,) to be measles, and if so whether
his opinion was as reliable in this case as
in that. 2d, Whether this was the gen-
tleman who is reported to have represent-
ed the Homeopathi-2 practitioner to be so
ignorant that he did not know whether‘:
inan-‘s liver was on the outside or inside,
and if so whether professional benevolence
had not something to do with this‘re-
port, and whether the gentleman had not
a professional axe to grind in niaklng it_
We conclude, therefore, upon this point,
that it is a. great and crying wrong to
Cilfll‘_.";‘e Mrs. W. with giving the Small
Pox to the persons named, in the absence
of all proof tlml; she was even exposed
to ’the infection herself, in the absence of
all pyoof that she has had the disease at
all, and especially when the evidence is
so conclusive that those persons mayhave
taken the disease in some other way. 4
IVO inquire, finally, if Mrs. W. has
had the Small Pox, how did it escape
the observation of her attending physi-
cian, and fll0St‘— profcssioiial gentlemen
who visited and ex-.miincd her at a. time

(lord of jiiclgmciit in respect to profes-
sional competency, is the possession of a
sheep-skin endorsement from it Medical
Institution, that my patient was visited
and cnrcfiilly examined by it ‘physician
who is :1 grmluate of the College and
Meclical School at Nexv Haven, was fif-
teen years in practice as an Allopatbic
physicizui, which from conviction and for
cousclence’s sake, at the closcof ' this pe-
riod, he abandoned, and for the last eight
_vcsi's has been in the successful practice
of Hoincopatiiy. Tliis _c,-mitieman, pos-
sessed as he is of the requisite talent,
both natural and acquired, and having
hurl a large experience, and the opportu-
nity of extensive observation, and conse-
quently every way competent to make an
accurate diagnosis of this case, examined
it carefully, and at a time, too, not when
t/ze evidence of an i-ntelligent and nliable
opinion /zad passed away, but when it was
present., and after the examination came
to the same conclusion til.'llI\I had done
before, that it urns :1 hi-_:hly acute form of
her old. disease. It is i'i_z_'ht, however, to
say that he cxmesscil the opinion that he
did not doubt, that a. straiiger, not know-
ing the previous history of the patient,
at first view would call it a L-use of coin-
flueut Small Pox, but after a full cums. .-
nation, his conclusion was precisely what
I have named above. A little after she
was visited by an Allopntliic physician of
similar p1'oi'cssiouul qualifications from
:i ll(“.l§"lli)Ol'I.llf_-‘ town, who having heard of
the case, and fully believing from what
he had heard that it was :1 case of Small
Pox, and having one or more cases of
the disease under trcatnieut at the time,
came on purpose to siitisfy himself, and
alter seeing the patient; and examining
the eruption, came to the entire conclu-
sion flint. it was not Small Pox, but an-
. at her L'll9C:'ts‘e’5 altogether‘. . She was also
visited by uuotlier, whose professional
i
studies liavc been soniewhat. extensive,
and whose opporlniilty of observation
cqiinlly so, who, after an examination,
(“.lfll£‘. to the same conclusion.
These opinions, foi'mcr.l by gentlemen
entirely competent, and formed from an
actual cx-uniination of the patient, and at
a time too when the evidence of an in-
telligent opinion was present, are proba-
bly worthy of as much consideration by
the public, as those of gentleman who
pronounce professional opinions at it time
when the c\'ii'lcucc of intelligent, opinion
has passed away. ’
