was no hope for or even prospect of a cure. Not
withstanding the total failure of the many reme

the picture of agony resting on the faces of those
who have tried the various remedies, but in vain,
yet eagerly sought fur and anxiously tried any
thing that promised the least relief until their
courage has long sir.ce given place to despondency,
let them cheer up and allow a smile of happiness
to illuminate the haggard countenance, and the
duties of life will he performed with a degree of
happiness and pleasure unknown for weeks, months

Bunions, corns, and other ailments of the feet,
cause much suffering among all nations by whom
shoes are worn. There is more than $lOO,OOO
w.,rth of boots and shoes destroyed annually in
the United States (in the rest of the world more
than $1,000,000) by cutting while new, or nearly
so, to make room for painful bunions, corns, in—
growing nails, sore instep, etc. Besides this great
sacrifice, there is paid in New York to chiropo
dists, about $25,000 annually, in the New Eng
land State , about $25,000 annually ; in the West
ern and Southern about $50,000, besides this there
is $600,000 spent annually for caustics and other
worthless compounds for the cure of bunions,

great losses and expenditures, use Dr. Josiah
Briggs' Bunion Balsam and Sure Corn Cure,

The Hut on the Vacant Lot.
We live in a hut on a vacant lot,
Father, and mother, and I ;
'Tis away up town, and a dreary spot,
With old stone quarries close by.
Father is lazy, and mother she drinks,
And I am ragged and thin ;
An I I look like a thief, for 'tis hard to be pure,
When circled around with sin.
'Tis a deoperato place, this vacant lot,
A region of famine and woe;
The laborers found a strangled chill
In the quarry, not long ago.
And father is sometimes out all day,
And conies staggering home at night,
With money and things that he ',fides away,
For he never came by them right.
Mother is always at me to steal,
And urges her plea with a curse ;
She tells me to sneak through the city crowds,
And pocket a watch or a purse ;
And father beats me because I say
That I'd rather any day die;
I never have robbed, and I never will roh,
And tell you the reason why.
There came to our bevel, three years ago,
A urin with a sweet, mild face,
And he hell a holy book in his hand,
That he tried to read in our place.
But mother she swore at the mild•faced tuan,
And drove him out of our den,
And told him never, as long as he lived,
To darken her door again.
But something made me follow the man—
I think he beckoned to me—
And be led me down to a quarry's cleft,
Where none of my people could see;
And he read me things from the holy book,
That I never had heard before,
Arid somehow a peace came over my heart.
And it didn't feel half so sore.
They may curse and beat me as much as they like,
I know what they don't know ;
I know that things in the end come right,
For those that suffer below.
No matter how ragged and hungry I am,
With no one to lilts or to love,
I know there's a vacant lot for me,
In the beautiful land above.
Ely tarp-Etiler.
PUT YOURSELF IN MY PLACE.
•`I cannot wait any longer. I ►suet hay.
my money, and if you cannot pay I must
foreclose the mortgage and sell the place,"
said Mr. Morton.
"In that case," said Mr. Bishop, "it
will, of course, be sold at a great sacrifice,
and after all the struggles I have made,
my family will again be homeless. It is
very hard. I only wish you had to earn
your money as I do mine; you might then
know something of the hard life of a poor
man. If you could only in imagination,
put yourself in my place, I think you would
have a little mercy on me."
"It is useless talking; I extended this
one year, and I can do so no longer," re
plied Mr. Morton. as he turned to his desk
and continued writing.
The poor man rose from his seat and
walked sadly out of Mr. Morton's office.
His last hope was gone. He had just re
covered from a long illness which had
swallowed up the means with which be
htid intended to make the last payment on
his house. True, Mr. Morton had waited
one year when he bad failed to meet the
demand, owing to illness in his family,and
he felt very much obliged to him tin- so
doing,. This year he had been laid up for
seven months, which time he could earn
nothing, and all his eavines were then
needed forthe support of his family.—
Again he failed, and now he would again
be homeless, and have to begin the world
anew. Had heaven forsaken him, and
given him over to the tender mercies of
the wicked ?
After he had left the office, Mr. Morton
could not drive away from his thoughts
the remark to which the poor man in his
grief gave utterance, "I wish you had to
earn your money as I do mine "
In the midst of a row of figures, 'Put
yourself in my place," intruded.
Once after it had crossed his mind he
laid down his pen, saying : "Well, I think
I should find it rather hard. I have a
mind to drop in there this afternoon, and
see how it fares with his family; that man
has roused my curiosity."
About five o'clock ha put on a gray wig
and some old cast off clothes, walked to the
residence of Mr. Bishop, and knocked at
the door. Mrs. Bishop, a pale, weary
looking woman, opened it. The poor old
man requested permission to enter and rest
awhile, saying he was very tired with his
long journey, for he had walked many
miles that day.
Mrs. Bishop cordially invited him in,
and gave him the best seat the room af
forded. She had begun to make prepara
tions for tea.
The old gentleman watched her atten
tively. He saw there was no elasticity in
the step, no hope in her movements, and
pity for her began to steal into his heart.
When ber husband entered, her features
relaxed into a smile, and she forced a
cheerfulness into her wanner. The traveler
noted it all, and be was forced to admire
this woman who could assume a cheerful
ness she did not feel, for her husband's
sake. After the table was prepared, there
was nothing on it but bread and butter
and tea. They invited the stranger to eat
with them, saying. "We have not much
to offer you, but a cup of tea will refresh
you after your long journey."
He accepted their hospitality and, as
they discussed the frugal meal, led them,
without seeming to do so, to talk of their
affairs.
"I bought this piece of land," said Mr.
Bishop, "at a very low price, and instead
of waiting, as I ought to have done, until
I saved the money to build, I thought I
would borrow a few hundred dollars. The
interest on the money would not be near
as much as the rent I was paying, and I
would be saving something by it. I did
not think there would be any difficulty in
paying back the money; but the first year
my wife and one of my children were ill,
and the expense left rue without means to

2 vother year if I would pay the interest,
w hich I did. This year I was for seven

earn wything, and of course when pay

mand."
“B ut , ,, said the stranger, "will not Mr.
Morton w ai 't another year, if you make all
the eircumst, srices known to him 7"
' "No, 'eplied Mr. Bishop. saw
him this rnorni Ig, and he said he must
have the money, and should be obliged to
forclose."
"He must be IT, 'ry bard hearted," re
marked the traveler.
"Not necessarily so, " replied Mr. Bishop.
"The fact is these men know nothing
of the strugg,les of the poor. They are
men just like the rest oi' mankind, and I
atri sure if they had but I%he faintest idea
of what the poor have• to pass through,
their hearts and purses vroi ild open. You
know it has passed into a proverb, "When
a poor man needs assistance he should ap-
ply to the poor." The reason is obvious.
Only the poor know the curse of poverty.
They know how heavy it falls, crushing
the heart of man, and (to use my favorite
expression) they can at once place them
selves in the unfortunate one's place and
appreciate his difficulties, and are there
fore always ready to render assistance as
far as they are able. If Mr. Morton had
the least idea what I and my family had
to pass through, I think ho would be will
in to wait several years for his money
rather than distress us."
With what emotion the stranger listened
may be imagined. A new world was be
ing opened to him. Ile was passing through
an experience that bad never been his be
fore. Shortly after the conclusion of the
meal he rose to take his leave, thanking
Mr. and Mrs. Bishop for their kind hos
pitality. They invited him to stay all
night, telling him he was welcome to what
they had.
Ile thanked them, and said : "I will
treipass on your kindness no longer. I
think I can reach the next village before
dark, and be so much farther on my jour
ney "
Mr. Morton did not sleep much that
night; ho lay awake thinking. He had
received a new revelation. The poor had
always been associated in his mind with
stupidity and ignorance, and the first poor
family he had visited be had found far in
advance, in intelligent sympathy and real
politeness, of the exquisites and fashionable
butterflies of the day.
The next day a boy called at the cot
tage, and left a package in a large blue
envelope addressed to Mr. Bishop.
Mrs. Bishop was very much alarmed
when she took it, for large blue envelopes
were associated in her mind with law and
lawyers, and she thought that it boded no
good. She put it away till her husband
came home from work, when she handed
it to him.
lie opened it in silence, read its con
tents, and said frequently : "Thank heav-
"What is it, John ?" inquired his anx
ious wife.
`'Good news, wife," replied John, "such
news as I never hoped fur or even dreamed
of."
"What is it—what is it? Tell me quick I
I want to hear it, if it's anything good."
"Mr. Morton has cancelled tbe—mort
gage, released me from debt, both interest
and principal, and says any time I need
further assistance, if I will let him know,
I shall have it."
"I am so glad !—it puts new life into
me," said the now happy wife.
"But what could have come over Mr.
Morton ?"
"I do not know. It seems strange after
the way he talked to me yesterday morn
ing. I will go right over to Mr. Morton's
and tell him how happy he has made us."
He found Mr. Morton in, and expressed
his gratitude in glowing terms.
"I ;followed your suggestion," replied
Mr. Morton, "and put myself in your
place. I expect it would surprise you very
much to learn that the stranger, the trav
eler to whom you showed so much kind
ness yesterday, was myself ?"
"Indeed !" exclaimed Mr. Bishop, "can
that be true ? How did you disguise
yourself so well ?"
"I was not so much disguised, after all ;
but you could not very readily associate
Mr, Morton, the lawyer, with a poor way
faring man—ha! ha ! ha !" laughed Mr.
Morton.
"Well, it is a good joke, said .Mr. Bish
op; good in more senses than one. It has
terminated very pleasantly for me.
"I was surprised," said Mr. Morton, "at
the broad and liberal views you expressed
of men and their actions generally. I sup
posed I had greatly the advantage over you
in means and education ; yet how cramped
and narrow-minded have been my views
beside yours ! That wife of yours is at.
estimable woman, and that boy of yours
will be an honor to any man. I tell you,
Bishop," said the lawyer, becoming ani
mated, "you are rich—rich beyond what
money could make you ; you have treasures
that gold will not buy. I tell you you owe
me no thanks. Somehow I seem to have
lived since yesterday morning. I have got
into a new world. What I learned at your
house is worth more than you owed me,
and lam your debtor yet. Hereafter I
shall take as my motto, 'Put yourself in
his place,' and try to regulate my actions
by it."

Plain Talk to Young Men.
Remember, young friend, that the world
is older than you are by several years; that
for thousands of years it has been full of
smarter and better young men than your
self; that when they died the globe went
whirling on, and that not one man in a
hundred millions went to the funeral or
even heard of the death. Be as smart as
you can of course. Know as much as you
can ; shed the light of your wisdom abroad,
but don't try to dazzle or astonish any
body with it. And don't imagine a thing
is simple because you happen to think it
is. Don't be too sorry for your father be
cause he knows so much less than you do.
He used to think that he was as much
smarter than his father as you think you
are smarter than yours. The world has
great need of young men, but no greater
need than the youeg men have of the
world. Your clothes fit better than your
father's fit him ; they cost more money ;
they are more stylish. He used to be as
straight and nimble as you are. He, too,
perhaps, thought his father old fashioned.
Your mustache is neater, the cut of your
hair is better, and you are prettier, oh, far
prettier than "pa." But, young man, the
old gentleman gets the biggest salary, and
his homely, scrambling signature on the
business end of a check will drain more
money out of a bank in five minutes than
you could get out with a ream of paper
and a copper plate signature in six mouths.
Young men are useful, and they are orna
mental, and we all love them, and we
couldn't engineer a picnic successfully with
out them But they are no novelty. They
have been here before. Every generation
has had a full supply of them, and will
have to the end of time, and each crop
will think themselves quite ahead of the
last, and will live to be called old fogies
by their sons. Go ahead. Have your day.
Your sons will, by and by, pity you lor
your old, odd ways. Don't be afraid your
merit will not be discovered. People all
over the world are hunting for you, and if
you are worth finding, they will find you.
A diamond is not so easily found as a
quartz pebble, but people search for it all
the more intently.

Secrets of the Sea.
DISCOVERY OF A SINGULAR LITTLE SET
TLEMENT IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC.
Sooner or later the poles and Africa
must yield their little mysteries to the or
ganization and persistence of modern ex
ploration, and then there will be one thing
only to look for—a spot of ground large
enough to be inhabited on which humanity
has not its representative.. The search
may be hopeless, but certainly up to this
date the most eccentric and indefatigable
globe-trotters have failed to find any such
place. The man, woman or child, in this
country of free schools, who knows even
the existeuce of the Tristan De Cunha
Islands can scarcely be found, yet most
maps show them, and in some cyclopedies
they are recognizable in the few lines
about Tristan De Cunha. There are three
islands in the group, which lies in the
South Atlantic Ocean, about midway be
tween Africa and America, and nearly on
a line drawn from Buenos Ayres to Cape
Town. It was on the largest of the group,
containing about forty square miles, that
the ship Mabel Clark, owned in this city,
and sailing from Liverpool to Hong Kong.,
was driven ashore by stress of weather two
years ago next May day ; and now Captain
East of her Majesty's ship Comus, has just
reported his delivery of the presents sent
by President Hayes to the islanders who
succored the crew. They are one hundred
in number, and are chiefly descendants of
a certain Corporal Glass, who was one of
a garrison placed on the island by Eng
land when Bonaparte was imprisoned on
St. Helena, 1,500 miles away. The oldest
inhabitant is Peter Green, a hale, hearty
man, in his 72nd year, and the youngest
is his great-grand-child, aged a few months.
There have only been four deaths in thir-
teen years, and no death in infancy was
ever known among them. The perfect cli
mate is probably the explanation of these
facts. The community cultivate about
twenty acres, potatoes being the chief crop,
and usually get ten or twelve bushels from
one of seed. They have 500 cattle, 500
sheep, and any quantity of fowls. The
little State is both orderly and contented,
and Peter Green is looked upon as the
chief, although he disclaims all pretensions
to power. Doubtless the fact that nearly
a majority of the population are related
to him—he bad sixteen children—accounts
for the estimation in which he is held
Captain East recommended his son, Wil
liam Green, fur the Albert medal, or the
life saving medal of the Royal Humane
Society, as he greatly distinguished him-
self on the occasion of the Mabel Clark's
wreck. The matter is one for somebody's
attention in this country, also. Some years
ago the islanders begged some cats from
a ship, which, for some reason, stopped at
Tristan de Cunha, but the perverse ani
mals preferred rabbits and chickens to ex
clusive mice, and now they run wild all
over the island, while the mice are greater
pests than ever. All the islanders want
now is a clergyman. The chaplain of the
Comus christened five children, who,
doubtless, could have waited a year or two
longer for the ceremony, but the case of
expectant brides and bridegrooms is hard
indeed. Contemplative persons without
inordinate appetites for letters and news
papers may not find its picture unattraet
ive, but the genius of the age is all for
restless competition, and most people will
regard such a life as vegetation rather
than existenae, and will not cease to wonder
that human beings should, of their own
free will, choose to endure U.—New York

You Know Her.
THE TIDY MAIDEN AND COY SWEETHEART
WHO HAS GROWN INTO A METAL•
LIC VOICED DAGGLE-TAIL.
You know her. She lives on your street.
her features are either pinched or full and
flowsy. Her dress is wet, ill-fitting and of
no particular pattern ; her slippers are
broken down behind; her hair is uncombed ;
her voice is either shrill or coarse. You
have seen her stand out in the back yard,
and put a bare arm up to her eyes. and
under it peer out to the fence or barn,
where a man in an ill fitting coat is search
ing for something, and have heard her
shout, "John ! can't George bring me
some water ?" And you have beard him cry
back, "If be don't get the water I'll take
every inch of flesh from his bones ?" And
when you have looked at her again, does it
seem possible that those angry eyes have
drooped in maidenly reserve or raised in
coquettish light to face the man in the ill
fitting coat ? Can you, by any possible
wrench of the imagination, conceive of his
passing peppermints to her ; of his taking
that hand in his and bashfully squeezing
it ? But it was so. Many a "God bless
you" has been uttered above the bare head,
many a kiss pressed on that uncombed
hair. The tightly compressed lips have
lovingly framed tender invitations to him
to take another bite of eke and pickle.
The hands that are now parboiled and
blistered and marked with scars from the
bread knife, and scratches from the last
setting-hen, were once twined lovingly
about his neck, and the nose whick is peak
ed and red and loo'ss as if it would stand
on its hind legs and scream with rage once
followed the figures of his new vest pat
tern, or bore heavily against his jugular
vein. As little probable as this seems to
you, it seems less to her. She has forgot
ten it. She won't hear it talked of by
others. Two lovers are to her "a passel
of fools." And, but George is rubbing his
head, and we turn aside while our heroine
readjusts her slipper.—Danbury Xtics.
WHEN a man sneaks into the house at
mid night, and tries to get into bed with

zephyr.
You may say what you please about it,
but there is luck in horse shoes. A wo
man nailed one up against the wood shed
a month ago, and last week her husband
eloped with the hired girl. The man had
not earned a cent for more than two years.

Literary Notes.
Si. Nicholas for June, 1880, has an outdoor,
summery character sustained throughout, in the
poems, the prose, and the seventy-two pictures.
Among its striking features :is an account, by
Olive Thorne Miller, of the Children's Aid Socie
ty's delightful charity, "The Summer Home" for
poor city children, at Bath, L. 1., with seven pic
tures made by Jessie Curtis from sketches taken
on the spot. Another attractive paper is an arti
cle written and copiously illustrated by:Mr. Daniel
C. Beard, clearly explaining to young people
"how to Camp Out" cheaply, easily and comforta
bly.
There are long installments of the two serials,—
"Jack and Jill," by Louisa M. Alcott, with two
fine illustrations by Dielman; and "The Fairport
Nine," by Noah Brooks, with pictures by Redwood.
The number contains five complete short stories,
all illustrated : "Little Miss Stone," by Mary
Wagner Fisher, describing the amusing way in
'which a very little girl was cured of sewing on
Sunday; "Bessie Ainsley Doctors the Doddses,"a
tale of a little girl's disappointing experience with
her mother's favorite patent medicine; "The
'West Wind's' Last Cruise," a stirring sea-story
for boys, by Frank H. Converse ; "Lost and
Found," a tale of English life; and "Marion's
Story," about two country-girls, a pet rabbit and
a jealous dog.
Mrs. It. S7vain Gifford contributes a R ne picture
and a few paragraphs about some interesting
ducks called "Old Squaws," whose musical cry,
"lie's got no gun!" is said to be irritating to sports
men.
Among the funny things are the verses "Ah
Lo," with two comical pictures by Hopkins, and
the curious "Chronicles of the Molbos,"—a thick
witted people living in Jutland ; —with' three hu
morous illustrations by Frank Beard. Short
poems and bright pictures are scattered through
the number, and there is a full-page illustration
of curi'Ais modern head-dresses of European men.
"Two Famous Old Stones," from Rosetta, near
the mouth of the Nile, and from the ancient coun
try of Moab, are described and pictured, and their
history and importance are explained.
The steel engraving in the June number of the
Eclectic, just out, is a fine portrait of Anthony
Trollope, of whose life and work the Editor gives
in the letterpress a brief but appreciative sketch.
The initial article of the number is a very striking
paper by Dr. Carpenter on "The Deep Sea and its
Contents," describing the results achieved and the
problems solved by the recent Challenger Expedi
tion around the world This is followed by a
caustic and very able paper on "Metternich," by
Dr. Karl Ilillebrand ; and this in turn by Mr.
James Payn's little essay on "Sham Admiration
in Literature," which has provoked so much dis
cussion both in this country and in England.
Perhaps the most remarkable paper in the number
is one entitled "Backsheesh," in which an Eng
lishman describes the processes of bribery and
corruption by which he secured a "Concession"
from the Turkish Government; and scarcely less
interesting is an English lady's "Letters from
Constantinople." Other noteworthy papers are
.Days in the Woods" (describing moose-hunting
in Nova Scotia), by the Earl of Dunraven ; "Illu
sions of Memory," and "Artificial Diamonds."
The poetry comprises "A Fable : In the Manner
of Dr. Swift," by Austin Dobson; "Three Angels,"
sad "Poetry of a Root Crop," by the late Charles
Kingsley. Mr. Black's White Wings : A Yachting
Romance" is continued, and the powerfnl story of
"Mademoiselle de Melillo" is brought to a pathetic
close. The editorial departments are as usual
well filled with interesting news in literature and
science.

scription price ($8) is low; while for $10.50 the
publishers offer to send any one of the American
$4 monthlies or weeklies with The Living Age for
a year, including the extra numbers of the latter,
both postpaid. Littell & Co., Boston, are the
publishers.
Good Company, Number Nine, has its usual full
complement of stories, by Miss Srrah 0. Jewett,
author of Deephaven, Sydney Hall, and others.
Lord Beaconfield's recent defeat at the polls
lends special interest to Mr. Geo. M. Towle's
graphic sketch of his career, which gives much
readable information about the late premier.
"Science in High Latitudes" has also a particular
timeliness in connection with the Howgista Arctic
expedition, for which preparations are now going
forward. It is by S. J. Douglass, author of
several previous papers on similar topics in this
magazine. "Country Schools and State Need.,"
by W. M. Bicknell, urges the want of an enliven
ing and energizing influence from a central state
board in country schools.
President Bascom of Madison, Wis., University
talks about names; Octave Thanet has "The
Canada Thistle ;" and there is a sketch entitled
"A French Home."
In the Editor's Table there is an assault on that
growing public nuisance the system of feeing
servants, a graft from foreign toadyism not wanted
in this country.
We have just received Peterson's Magazine for
June, and do not hesitate to say that it has more
attractions than all the other magazines combined.
No magazine in America has such fine steel en
gravings, and such good cuts. The ladies at
home toll us that "Petersen's" fashions are in
better taste, and more reliable than any magazine
published. "Peterson's" illustrated articles are a
aew feature this year, which makes the Magazine
more attractive than ever. A friend of ours, who
was in Philadelphia last week, called at Peterson s
office, and tells us that, they pack 5000 magazines
every afternoon to their subscribers. Ile speaks
of the great popularity of the book. Send to
Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street, Phila
delphia, and get his great club terms for 1880.
Harper's Magazine for June is one of the most
b e autifully illustrated number ever published.
William H. Gibson, who wrote and illustrated "A
Winter Idyl" fer the March issue, contributes a
paper on "Spring Time," with sixteen exquisite
engravings. Mrs. John Lillie's charming de
scription of a Devonshire Mooreland village is
illustrated by Abbey, and Mr. Rideing's paper on
"The Working-Women in New York" is finely
illustrated by Jessie Curtis, Reinhart and Rogers.
There are several other illustrated papers, besides
Sherwood Bonner's laughable story 'Heironymus
Pop and the Baby," with pictures by A. B. Frost.
Among the other papers are, "The Strong Gov
ernment," by George Ticknor Curtis; "Ingratitude
of the Republic," by an army officer; and "Beef
and Bullocks" by A. B. Allen, treating the subject
of our exports of beef to Great Britain. The
editorial departments are full and timely. The
Editor's Drawer is completely filled by a comic
operetta entitled "The Gallant Garroter," illus
trated by A. B. Frost.
The June Wide Awake opens with a delightful
story by Sarah 0. Jewett of "Doephaven" fame,
entitled "Cake Crumbs." Following is an exqui
site poem by Mrs. Margaret J. Preston, "Maid
Cicely's Steeple Cap"—A. D., 1480. It has a very
lovely picture by CO. F. Barnes. "Choosing Abe
Captain," by James Clement Ambrose, is an in
teresting and exciting story of pioneer life, by
Mrs. Angeline Teal, accompanied by a half-dozen
spirited illustrations. Another first-rate story is
"How Patty Curtis Learned to Sweep," by Mrs.
M• L. Evans. "Daisy's Bust." by Mabel Elwell,
is as good a story, although an account is detail
of how a bust is made. William 11. Rideing gives
an interesting account of "The Language of Ships,'
and Mr. Bartlett has some pleasant Concord Rem
iniscences—this time of Mr. Sanborn. Mr. Ben
jamin in the" American Artists' Series" writes of
the popular artist J. W. Champaney, and the
paper has some goodillustrations. Of the serials,
"Prof. M. P. Paul," is ended, much to the regret
of innumerable children who have been growing
up alongside "Miltiades" for the last five years;
and the "Five Little Peppers" are having all
sorts of good times, while the "Two Young Home
steaders" make a new acquaintance in the pretty
town-bred "Sweetbriar Rose." The poems of the
number are excellent, noticeably "A Fashionable
Lady." by Mrs. Clara Doty Bates, "A Bird Story,"
by M. E. B. and "There's More Than One Way,"
by Mrs. Slade. The "Exercise bong," by Mr.
Eisen. "The Butterfly," is a delicious bit of
music, quite worth the price of the number.
