THE LITTLE SHOE-
J3Y MARY NF.AI..
I found it hero—a worn-out shoo
j\ll mildewed with time, and net with dew,
’Tis a little thing; ye would ]iaas it by
"With never a thought, or word, or sigh;
Yet it stirs in my spirit a hidden well,
And in eloquent tones oi the past does toll.
It tells of a little fmry child _
That bound my heart with magic wild,
Of brio-lit bluo'eycs and golden hair,
That ever shed joy ami sunlight there
of a prattling voice, so sweet and clear,
And the tiny feet that were ever near.
It tells of hopes that with her had birth,
Deep buried now in the silent earth;’
Of a heart that had met dnanswering tone,
That again is left alone— alone 1,
Of days of wateliiug and anxious,prayer—
Of a night of sorrow and dark despair.
Tt tells of a form that is cold and still— ,
Of a little mound upon yonder hill,
That is dearer far to a mother’s heart
Than tho classic " statues of Grecian art."
Ah, strangers may pass with a careless air,-
Nor dream of the hopes that are buried there. ;
O yo, who have never o’er loved ones wept-
Whoso brightest hopes have ne’er been swept;
Liko the pure:white clond from the summer-sky—
Like the wreath of mist from the mountain high,.
Then melting away to its native sphere; ,
Like rose-leaves, loosed by the zephyr’s sigh—
Like that: zephyr wafting its perfume by—
Like the wave that kisses some graceful spot,
Then passes away—yet is ne’er forgot;
If like these your have never fled,
Yo cannot know of the tears I shed.
Yo cannot'know what a little thing
Prom Memory’s silent fount can brill §
'flic voice and form that were once so dear.
Yet there me hearts wcie they only here,
That could feel With mo. when all wot with clew,
I found it this morning—this little shoe..
BARBARA LINN.
. BY 80FHIE -MAY.
Over a “corduroy road, half mud, half hubs,”
friend James Eaton was riding with some ap
pearance of haste.'
“How far does thee call it to Appleblow
Township ? said he, stopping his horse to ad
dress a rough looking man who wa cro wing
the road with his hands in his pockets.
“ How fur, stranger ? Wal, about it ree ctee
ekes, I reckpn.”
“Screeches?” mused the Quaker haidly liking
to expose his ignorance of the Western dialect.
I thought thy people measured distance bv
hoots but I suppo c thee mcais ly i
■•screech " as far as thee can make thy voice
heard."
■■ Wal. I do. Keep straight ahead, stranger,
and jou 11 pass a brier patch (giave-yard),
then turn left aid the h t Inure you come to is
old man tehanklin's: it s a tavern concern, and
he’ll put you up."
Thanking the stranger, friend Eaton pressed
on through hush and brier till he reached the
log hou ocouiteo i Ivteimed n inn ihechim
: ney was mhospitabl v set outside, and so far from
boasting a cellar, the building was propped up
on logs,.leaving a s] accfoi the air to pa * undci
the floor, also for other bodies to p s“ under
suqh as cats, dogs and cincl ens which found it
aicooland desirable retreat. ; . *
It seemed that a m ddlo aged person famil
iarly known as “old man Sbankim." owned the
loginn, with all the privileges and appmtenances
tte aaflpagyfc.to.-gfc
: tune between the care of her seven children anc
. cooking ot com dodgers- and bacon for chance
travellers lhetc was a most; evident lack of
the most common household utensils, and an air
of destitution about the premises, but no indica
tions of poverty. Friend Eaton had learned
enough of the Far W est m his few. weeks of
travelling, to add a companion proverb to the
old saw, “AllTsAct gold that£l tters AU
gold glitter;-- for many a backwoodsman
may have moderate means and still live like a
,:.foeggaEi : .
The Bean children are as like as peas, and
, rattled about the. house like so many beans m a
pod. In spite of his genial, fatherly nature,
Iriend Eaton wasnot verv much attracted by these
untidy lads and las e , and took little notice of
them except to pat their ruddy cheeks, which
were stained with something beside the kisses
of the sun; and to say in a low voice to the
eldest: - v -.. -■ ’
“ My dear,, the first thing is to be good, but
the next best thing is to be clean. ”
But presently another child appeared upon
the scene, who had neither faintly blue eyes nor
toWy white hair, and whose pleasant face was
quite unlike the little Beans, not only because
it was clean, but because it was also beaming
with intelligence. The Quaker-looked at her
earnestly, then crossed the room and gazed
again.
“It strikes me,” said he, “thatthee looks re
markably familiar. Thee can’t be a sister to
these other children ?”
“My name -is Barbara Linn-, Stephen Linn’s
daughter, sir,” replied the child with tolerable
grace; “my father and mother-are a long time
dead.”’ •; 1 v ■- 1 i ; i,
. “Is thig Stephen Linn’s daughter?” pried
the Quaker, raising his hands .in astonishment,
“ lyhy, I knew thy father well, my dear, 'A
• great while ago he sold me a tract of land in
Posey County, m this state, and I have now
been travelling hundred- 6f miles to exanuneit.
Thee has lost a good father. Barbara: how long
has he been dead ?"
“He ‘winked out- haTd onto threeyparago,”
said Mrs Bean answering for her agd atithe
game time raking open a bed of coals with a
sjiade, and setting her bacon to frying. “He
died of cholera and when I found Barbara she
was standing m a tater hole crying, and I had
pity ! pn,hpr J though heg.no km to mejandltook
her to raise. Where she d /a been now, and
what would ha- come to her. I don't know; but
I’ve been a ma to you ha’nt I Bab
. The Quaker Jpoked a the child and .thought
he detected a gleam m her eve which might
have been gratitude but did not look like iti' 4
“I must inquire mto this affair." quoth he to!
, himself; Stephen Linn was not of my raee,-but'
it’s my Christian duty to see that his daughter
is dealt with; justly. We;-must not judge by
outward appearances, but the woman yonder
has a sharp eye and a tongue to match ; more
over, I dp .not fancy the-look of her whittled
nose.” -
James Eaton ate his supper, and blamed him
self all.tne while for uncharitableness, because
his childlike heart was wounded by the harsh
words dealt out like blows, and the mani
fold shakings which the,children took almost as
a matter of course, and Without the least out
cry. But though harsh; to her own; children
and .her over-tasked servant-maid, she was
kindness itself to'the orphan'Barbara.
“Yiiu need’nt touch the dishes,” said sh»
with obstinate good nature,'“you’d aheap bet
ter keep still, Bab. Nine-year old children afe
no account help.”
The Quaker was struck with the open eyed
wonder on the little girl’s face, at these words
and at the first opportunity asked her - few
questmns. It was not ca y to say
.much, for Mrs; Bean was flitting about from
room to room, and making good use of hereve
and ears; yet he was well satisfied from the lew
> words which Barbara stammered out with her
■ fingers imber mouth that his old acquaint me
Stephen Linn, would have been sorely troubled
“I could take the child hdme to Ohio”
thoughtthe good man, “butwhat would Liddy
say We’ve brought up one family of children
and we are getting old.” ’
But the idea intruded itself again and again.
“If she is only a good girl, and has been led
into no bad ways—ahem—perhaps Liddy would
be pleased. It’s- a fearful thing for a little one
to have no mother to remember. • Liddy’s heart,
would take her right in, who knows ? She has.
a mothers feeling’s for orphans; or if she
should shrink from it, there’s John’s folks.—
Well, well, not unless she is a good child, and
has’nt been corrupted. I’ll stay - about here a
day or two, and be on the watch, and if it’s
right for me to harbor such an idea I shall be
led by the Spirit.” , .
So by dint of keeping this last thought up
permost, the good old gentleman at last ieli
asleep.
The next morning as he chtered the house
after sauntering about the pro nisro hot
heard little Barbara and the housemaid m
earnest conference.
“ Oh, I can’t, I dares 'vtr tad Barbara..
" Whatfor a feared child you be,- returned
the other earnestly. . “If you do not start quick
den must I go myself l’-
« No, no,” cried the 1 child, in a voice of alarm.
Soon after, as friend Eaton still stood m the
doorway, the little girl stole up to him reluc
tantly, whispering:
“ I reckon I’ve found something of yours,-
sir,” ’and smuggling into-his hand a dollar bill.
"I thank thee,” said the Qual cr gr vely
“ where did thee find this. Linbara ?•
“On the floor in your room, - replied he
"it was when -I made your bed. •
"I- thank thee,” repeated the Quaker and
without saying more, he walked out of the
house. The bill was on an Ohio hank, and
could be identified. Taking out his pocket
book be unfolded a roll of bank notes received
the day before, and counted them. He was
very sure he had never opened the package be
fore, but it now appeared that one dollar had
slipned out in some way. and this was the one
Barbara had found. lie remembered that he
had carelessly left his pocket book under ins
pillow until alter he had breakfasted.
The dear old gentleman s brow was ruffled.
He sought an early- opportvimt.y to talk with
the housemaid, who assured him m her broken
English that J ~rl ara hr 1 come to ht vtbtl e
money sayintr- “ Lisbeth see what I found in
the strangers room." - But Lisbeth, with
straightforward German honesty, insisted that
it must bo returned to its owner. Lither
throughfear. or from a desire to keep the money,
Barbara had been strangely reluctant.
"Poor child 1 she opened my book,--thought
the Quaker, shaking his bead sadiv. Lisbeth
answered the look on bis face, as if he hail
spoken.
She is but a little maiden." said she; ■■ and
i i d s-house dey keep no lsibles 1"
“ Thee is a good girl." almost sobbed friend
Eaton, grasping her warmly by the hand.
Thee is right; what should we expect of a
child with neither a Bible nor a mothci
The Quaker, was in trouble. • *
“ITwish I could see Liddy,”soliloquized lie;
“ Liddy is,a Christian woman, and I think she
would be grieved for this young child If she
was only here I should say to her, “Liddy, I
feel rebuked for thinking Lmustitake a welirbe
hn e 1 child or none, if this little;girl now was
good,,and instructed in,the way .she should,go,
there would be no call for us to, adopt her ; we
shoulfl.be pleasing ourselves and not the Mas
ter. don’t thee see it so,. Liddy ? But when it
is>a stray lamb, why, : that alters the case! ■ She
ha - an ungodly mistress, as thee may truly be
lieve, no meeting and no Holy Scriptures, and
w hat should hinder her little feet from slipping ?
Well, well,” continued the excellent man, his
lately t.mn bind o.Ynressinn giving way to the old
TOOK Oil SUCCIeU-pellCi; Tr,, jjrcSrrTlrtlTJ —irjyrrcrj-.-
un the winter-beauty of his face, “I think the
i.Lord is pleading with me “to save her: 'I will
tarry a few days longer!",
So it was the most natural thing in the
world that net very long after,'Barbara should
,bid'a joyfulfarewell to the Beans, of the town of
Cymh a inn.-" township of Appleblow, coun
ty of Posev and *et her f ce t sward. ’(jhio.
Jame~ L ion had not overrated the Christian
chanty of hs; admirable wife. So ;far from
murmuring at the heaven-appointed task, she
assumed it with unfeigned delight, and would
never hear of giving the beloved child to
“John’s folks.-- She is one of those quiet, ear
nest women, of whom the world knows not.
and is forever unworthy a woman leadj to
spend and be spent in labors of love. -
* Barbara Linn is now a swcot-looking young
lady, with'“smoothly ordered hair nd gentle
ways. The neighborhood,anight tell you a
hundred good deeds wrought by James Eaton;
but of this you may be sure, if of nothing else:
he has been God’s means of-saving one stray
lamb.

Down to the minutest division of human oc

TEA-TASTING.
. Few of our readers arc aware that tea-tasting
19 reduced to a regular profession, one which is
as certain death to a man' as the continued
practice of opium-eating. The success, oii! the
tea broker, or taster, depends upon the trained
accuracy of his nose and palate, his experience
in the wants of the American market, and' a
■keen business tact. If be had_these qualities
m high cultivation, he ( may make from twenty
to forty thousand dollars per annum while he
■lives, and die of ulceration of the lungs. He
overhauls a cargo of tea, - classifies it, and de
termines the value ot ea£h sort. 1 In doing this,
he.first looks at the .color of: the loafi and the
general ■cleanliness, -of - it. He next takes a
quantity,of the herb in his band, and breathing
his warm breath upon it, he snuffs up the fra
grance. In doing this, he draws into his lungs
a quantity of irritating and stimulating dust,,
which is by no means wh'olesoriie. Then, sitting
down to the table in .his.offic9,,.on. which, is a
Idiig row of little porcelain cujps and a
hot water, he “draws” the tea and tastes the in
fusion. In'this way, he 1 classifies 1 the- different
sorts to the minutest shade; marks the different
fmtriaw § amt Mint in tirattgcUist;
prices, and is then ready to compare his work
with the invoice. The skill of these testers is
fairly a marvel, but the effect, of the business
on their health is ruinous. They grow lean,
nervous and consumptive. At the end of a hard
•day’s work, they feel add act as fidgety and cross
as if they had the hysterics.
INTEMPERANCE,
The late Hr. Lyman Beecher, is usually
: spoken of as the pioneer in the pulpit attacks
’upon the evil of intemperance. Doubtless he.
was the first to deal a blow that was felt far be
yond. the bounds of his own Litchfield,parish.
But says The Conqreqaiionalist, of Boston,
years before the publication of his famous six
sermons (we cannot say whether before their
prep irotion and Art preaching or not) at least
two p lip t" In this Vicinity had -pol en out

Things worth Forgetting. —lt is almost
frightful, and altogether humiliating, to think
how much there is in the common ongoing of
domestic and social life, which deserves nothr

Yht it is equally amazing how large a class

vocation of gossips—an order of society that
perpetrates more mischief.than all the combined

mischievous by being heard a second time ; and
what an army of both sexes are sworn to see
to it, that the fatal repetition shall be had.

Sound Registering Machine.—M. Koenig,
of Prussia, recently invented a machine by
which sound points its own undulations and
vibrations. A' glass cylinder is coated with
fine lamp-black, and applied turning to a tuning
key, when the latter vibrates. From impres
sions left on the lamp-black; all the different
vibrations ot sounds, from A to G. are registered,
and from the records a beautiful senes of acous
tic charts have been drawn out.
The First Canary Birds. —Even the favorite

on board, was wrecked on the Italian coast, op

having escaped found refuge, and the climate
proving favorable their number increased.
From that parent stock it is believed that all

Composition for Preserving Wood —A very
good composition for preserving wood which
is-to be placed in the ground, and subjected to

quick lime and charcoal to every five gallons,

Walking on the Water. —A person in Lon
don recently ittempted to walk upon the water,
ami succeeded: He had an air tight vessel on
his back and another on his breast, both worn
under his clothes: he also had small paddles
ot a peculror kind on his feet, which aided his
progress. These arrangements enabled 'him to
walk on the water with ease. The idea is
worth experimenting upon here.

enjoying profound peace, reaping a goitlen har

and Floridas'nre driving from our shipping to
hers, and taunting us with approaching bank
ruptcy in consequence of the war, her contri
butions to the cause of religion are less than
during the preceding year, while the aggregate
,of xmr own is greater.
THE FLAX CROP.
The flax crop of the United States this year
will be larger than ever before raised in this
country, and inquiries ark made as to the best
mode of disposing of it. One of our exchanges
advises the farmer, after thrashing out the seed,
to stack the straw carefully, protect the ; stacks
with the boards, of a good: thatch, and Jhwait
the customers, who will appear betWecn this
and th 6 close of the year. It is importantthat
the straw be kept dry, otherwise it will rot,
and the fiber be destroyed . From present ap
pearances, there is no doubt that there will be
demand for every tun of flax raisedand farm
ers will do well to preserve all their, straw in
good condition. The preparation of fiber had
better be left for those who, make that , their
special business. In view of the increasing
importance of flax, consequent upon the sus
pension pf cotton growing, we advise our inven
tive readers to examine and see if they cantiot
produce improvements in fla:
nery. The field for this cl
seems to be a good one.
THINNING THE LEA'
One of the most absurd practices prevalent,
is that of pulling off the -foliage of grapes, in
order (it is said,) to ripen uplthe fruit. Those
who do this say they can’t bear to see the clus
ter so shaded ; they Mow. the sunshine would
color them. And so they thrust right and left,
covering the ground with gnen leaves.- This
is a great error. The ripeniig of fruit depends
upon the pre ence and sucdrsful work ng of
well formed and healthy fqiage on vigorous
vines The Frovcs are the ling- nd stomach
of the plant. Through thet it breathes: by
them it digests its lood, and irepares nourish

THE -WORLD’S great remedteor
Scrofula and. Scrofulous Diseases.
From Emery Edes, a well-known merchant of Oxford,
“I have sold large quantities of your Sarsaparilla,
but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired
effect and full satisfaction to those who took it. As
fast as ourpeop.le try it, they agree there has been no
medicine like it before in our community.”
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Ul
cers, Scores, and all Diseases of the Skin.
From Rev. Robt. Stratton, Bristol,;England.
“I only do my duty,to you,and the public, when I
add my testimony, to that you publish of the medicinal
virtues of your Sarsaparilla. My daughter, aged ten,,
had an afflicting humor in her ears, eyes, and hair for'
years, which we were unable to cure until we tried your
Sarsaparilla. She has been; well for some months.”.
From Mrs. Jane E. Rice, a well-known and mneh-cs
teemed lady of Dennisville, Cape May Co., N. J.
, I My daughter has suffered for a year past with a
'scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome.
' Nothing afforded any relief until we tried your Sabsa- :
;Pariu.a, which soon completely cured her.’!
From Charles P.' Gage, Esq,, of the widely-known
' G;»ge, Murray & Co., manufacturers of .enamelled pa
pers m Nashua, N.‘ fi.
: .;”I had for several years a very troublesome humor
:in my’face, which grew constantly worse until it dis
figured’my features and became an in'toletuble afflic
tion. I tried almost every thing a man could of both
; advice and medicine, but without any relief whatever j
until I took your Sarsaparilla. It immediately made
my faoe worse, as yon told me it might for a time: but
: in a few weeks the new skin began to form under the
blotches, and continued until my face is as smooth as
any body’s, and 1 am without any symptoms of the
disease that I know of. • I eujoy perfect health, and
withdut a doubt owe it to your Sarsaparilla.” :
Debility—Purify the
From Dr. Robt. Sawin, Houston St., New York.
Dr.' Atbr. I seldom fail to remove Eruptions
and Scrofulous Sores by tbe persevering use of your
Sarsaparilla, and I have just now cured an attack
of Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we
possess equals the Sarsaparilla you have supplied to
the profession as well as to the people.” ’
• .From J. E. Johnston, Esq.j "Wakeman. Ohio.
“For twelve years, I had the yellow Erysipelas on
my right arm, 'during which time I tried all the cele
brated physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of
dollars worth of medicines. The ulcers were so bad
thafthe cords became visible, and the doctors decided
that my arm mustbe amputated. I began taking your
Sarsaparilla. Took two bottles, and some of your
Pills. ■ Together they have cured me. lam now as
welland sound as any body. Reing in a public place,
iny ease is known to every body in this community,
and excites the wonder of all.”
From Ho n; Henry Monro, MP.,. of Newcastle,'
C. W., a leading member of the Canadian Parliament.
“I have used your Sarsaparilla in my family A for
general debility, and for purifying.the blood, with very
beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it
to the afflicted.”
St. Anthony's Fire v Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Sore Eyes.
From Harvey Sickler, Esq., the able editor of the
Tunkliannock Democrat, Pennsylvania.
“ Our only child, about three years of age, was at
tacked by primples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed aloathsome and virulentsore,
which covered his face, and actually blinded his eyes
for some days. A skilful physician ‘ applied nitrate
of'silver and other remedies, without any apparent
effect. For fifteen days we guarded his hands, lest
with them he should tear open the festering and cor
rupt wound which covered hiS whole face, Having
tried every thing else we had any hopefrom, we began
givirig your Sarsaparilla, and applying.the iodide of
potash lotion, as you direct. The sore began to,heal
when we.had given the first bottle, and was well when
we had finished the second. The child’s eyelashes,
which had come out, grew again, and he is.now as
healthy and faihas any,other. The whole
hood predicted that the child must die. ” . ’

Fronithe JRro. Jostph H. Kznnord, Poster of Ukt Tbith Baptist CfturcX,
Da. Jacksow— Jkar Sir: I have been frequently requested to con
nect my name with commendations of different kinds oi medicines, but
xegaiding the practice os out'of my appropriate sphere I hare in all
cases declined; hut with a clear proof In various instances, ami particu
larly in my own family, of the useftilness of Dr. Iloofland’s German
Bitters, I depart for once from my usual course, to express my full
oonviction that, far general debility of the system* and especially far
Ideer - Complaint* it is a, safe and valuable preparation. In some
cases it may .fitil; but usually, I doubt not, it will be very henefldal to
those who suffer from the above causes.
Yours, very respectfully,
J. £L KBNNABD, Eighth below Coates Bt, Philada.
Pram JSev. Warren Randolph* Pastor of Baptist Church, Germantown* Ih,
yjs, c. iL Jackson —Dear Sin Personal experience enables me to
say that I regard the Gorman Bitters prepared by yon as a moat excel
lent medicine. In cases qf eevere cold and general debility I have been
greatly benefited, by the-use of the Bitters, and doubt not they will
nroduce similar effects dn others. Yoursr, truly,
Germantown* Bju* my 31, 1860. WARREN RANDOLPH.
From the Hat. J. B. Turner, Piutor of Bidding M. K Church.
Dtt. JACKSON —Dear Sir: Haring used your German Bitters In my
foully frequently, I am prepared to say that it baa been of great Ber
ries, I believe that in most cases of general debility of the system it
is the safest and most valuable remedy of which I have any knowledge.
, Yours, respectfully^; * J. H. TURNER, J 26 N. Nineteenth St
From the See. Thomas Winter, Fbstor of Roz&mrugh Baptist Church.
Da. Jackson—Dear Sir: I feel it due to your excellent preparation—
Hoofland’s Geraan Bittere—to add my testimony to the deserved
reputation it has obtained. I have for years, at times, been troubled
with great disorder in my head and nervous system. I was advised by
a friend to try a beetle of your German Bitters. I did so, aqd have
experienced great* and unexpected relief. My health has been very
materially benefited. I confidently recommmend the article where I
meet with cases similar, to my own, and .bare been assn red by many
of their good effects. Respectfully yours,
.• Roa&omtgh, Pol, Dec, 1858. I. WINTER.
From Droton, Z>. jp, JSdUorof the Mnq/dqpedia of
JZdigious Knowledge.
Although.not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Medicines la
general, through distrust of their Ingredients and effects; I jet know
of no‘ Bafficient reaeons why a man may not. testify, to the benefits he
belietas himself to' hire received fromany simple preparation, in the
hope that he may thus .contribute to the benefit of others.
’ I do this mow readily In regard to HooSand’s German Bitters, pre»
pared hf j)r. 0. M; i Jackson, of thlß city, because I; was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the Impression that they were
chlefiy aa ; alcohdl& inLttare; lam indebted to my friend Kobert
Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper tests,
and’ for encouragement to.try them, whensuffering from great and
long-contraued debility. The use of. three bottles of these Bitters, at
the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief; and
restoration to ;a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not
felt for fidhc months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I
therefore'thankGod and my'friend for directing meto the use of them.

• y? e tks attention of all having relatiotis Or friends in the army
to the feet that “ HOOFLAND’S German Bitters” will cure niae-tenths

life. In fiie lists, published almost dally In the newspapers, on the
arrival of the sick, it will he noticed that a very large proportion are
suffering from debility. Every case of that' kind, can be readily cured
by Ilooflhnd’s <serman Biftera. Hiseases igniting from disorders of
the digestive organs are speedily removed; We have no hesitation in
