AT THE BEE HIVF
THE LITTLE FEET;
OR, THE AMATEUR SHOEMAKER
Wci't you take away your admiring gaze from
my pretty feet, Clifford ; dear? I thirst not go to
sleep for fear you will carry them ofti and I shall
awake footlessl"
The speaker was a roguish and elegant young
girl, nestling down into the, rosy 'pillows of a
lounge. As she spoke she drew up her delicate
feet beneath the rustling folds of her dfess
"Your pretty feet, indeed!" was the reply of the
young gentleman, taking up one of his sister . s.beau.
tilul brown tresses from tne pillow where it floated.
"My little sis, I fear you are spoiled—such com•
placent vanity is amusing: .
"Then let the responsible thought he yours that
you spoiled me, dear; how should I know my feet
were so fairy-like, if you had, not told me so ten
times a day. Are you not always quoting Mrs.
Osgood's:
" Well, f know it, but I can't help it. for they
certainly are the prettiest I ever saw And lam
sure," be continued, his dark eyes growing more
thoughtful than the occasion seemed to warrant,
"if I have spoiled you, you have returned the com
pliment with interest, else I should have been mar
ried before now. Twenty-eight, and never been
engaged to a woman yet, for the very reason that
in looking at my little sis's feet so much, my ideas
of the beauty of such articles have g rown so perfect
that I have never met any other lady who pleased
me." '
"1 should be ashamed of you, Clifford, it I thought
you spoke in earnest. You forget, do you, a lady's
grace, beauty, goodness and intellect because her
shoes are a trifle larger than your sister Grace's?"
"Don't reprove me, sis, for I philosophise upon
tie mother; I want a woman with heart, and soul,
and intellect—to love and be sensible; but if her
head is full of thought and her heart full of affec
tion, how can they be properly balanced? how, I
ask, can they be spit-ince/C:4 unless the feet that
uphold them are fashioned in the perfectness of
tightness and grace?"
'You had better enlarge upon your wonderful
theory, and aive the world the benefit . of your
scientific and philosophic arguments in three quarto
volumesf' said Grace with meek gravity, raising
her halt shut lashes till the mirthful flash of her
eyes met the half comical, half serious look of her
bachelor brother. It is so provoking! when I
have absolutely the most charming friend in the
world,,whom I had selected for you, and expected
you to be grateful and delighted—but, alas! her
feet, they are positively large. Continuing your
own theory, though, I should suppose that it was
necessary they should be large to support the im
mense amount of sensibility, goodness, and grace
or her soul."
"What is her name ?"
"Madeline Mellen. She lives in Philadelphia.
She has spiritual eyes."
"Hush, hush, I do not care about her eyes—l
shall not go to see. her—you need not pout, sis
you had no right to be so beautiful yourself, and
make me so particular."
"I shall say nothing more to you this afternoon,
sir Bachelor,' murmured the young girl indignantly.
Wherewith she nestled her flushed cheek closer
to the pillow, fossed back a curl that had crept
over to silence her lips, and shut her eyes deter
minedly, notwithstanding the slight quiver of the
bright lashes.
Clifford Wells smiled upcn his sweet pet; and.
rising from the easy chair, paced slowly to and fro
through the luxurious parlor. As his thoughts
quickened so did his pace, till at length so absorbed
was he in his new ideas, that he ran over an otto
man, and when startled by the sound, Grace opened
her sleepy, snowy eyelids, her elegant and dignified
brother was kissing a rose in the tufted carpet,
evidently a little astonished himself at the gallant
teat.
"Has some charming shoe been pressing that
flower?" asked the mischief, with a laugh so merry
that it made Clifford blush at his own expense as
he rose to his feet.

When at eve I ait alone,
Thinking of the past and gone—
While the clock with drowsy ringer,
Marks how slow the minutes linger—
And the embers, dimly burning,
Tell of life to dust returning,—
Then my lonely chair around
With a solemn mournful sound,
With a murmur soft and low,
Come the ghosts of Long Ago.
•
One by one I count then . ; o'er,
Voices that are heard no more,
Tears that loving cheeks have wet
Words, whose music lingers yet—
Holy faces, pale and fair,
Shadowy locks and waving hair—
Gentle sighs and whispers dear—
Songs forgotten many a year—
Lips of dewy fragrance—eyes,
Brighter, bluer than the skies—
Odors breathed from Paradise;--
And the gentle shadows glide,
Softly murmuring at my side, •
Till the long and gloomy day,
All forgotten, fades away.
Thus when I am all alone,
Dreaming o'er the past and gone,
All around me sad and siow,
Come the ghosts of Long Ago

Mournfully! Oh how how mournfully
This midnight wind cloth
Like some sweet plaintive melody,
Of ages long gone by!
It speaks a tale of other years—
'Of hopes that bloomed to die—
Of sunny smiles that set in tears,
And loves that mouldering lie.
Mournfully!. Oh how mournfully
This midnight wind cloth moan ;
It stirs some chord of memory,
'ln each dull, heavy one..
The voice qf the much loved dead
Seem floating thereupon- T .-.
All, my fond heart cherished
Ere youth and love had gone.
Mournfully! Oh, mournfully
This midnight wind doth'swell,
With quaint and pensive ministrelsy,
Hope's passionate farewell
To the dreamy joys of early years,
Ere grief's canker fell
On the heart's bloom—aye, well may tears
Start at that parting knell.

MEESE
In a shoe-store, in a fashionable street in the city
of Brotherly-Love, a clerk was leaning upon the
counter, heedless of the lady-customers that throng
ed the establishment. Many proud eyes looked
with surprise at the refined and aristocratic air of
the handsome clerk. But his earnest glance was
bent upon a lady who was raising on the opposite
side of the street. There was an exceeding grace
in her manner, as she glided quietly. along, and as
the gazer regarded her with intense interest, she
crossed the way a few paces below, and in a mo•
ment entered the store.
"Have you fine French gaiters?" she enquired in
a sweet voice, blushing unaccountably at the earn
est gaze of his dark eyes—unaccountably, ior why
should one accustomed to admiration, blush at the
regard of a clerk.
The young man glanced at her hand—it was
exquisitely small, and handed a pair of number
ones.
The shoes were small enough, but her loot was
rather peculiarly shaped, and they would not lit
nicely. nDid they make shoes at this establish
ment r
"If she would have a pair of gaiters made, lie
would take the measure—and seating her in a
furnished recess, she disengaged her foot from its
dainty slipper, and the young clerk kneeling with
tape in hand, took its delicate dimensions.
Oh. yes! the handsome shoemaker, with the
dark, pi collar eyes, and thotightful, elegant air, the
deferential manner, was kneeling before the young,
girl to •take the measure of her foal r But as, in
terested and surprised by his faultless demeanor and
earnest, intellectual face, the beautiful girl regarded
urn e ith wonder, lie had much rather have whis
pered to her the burning secret of his heart while
bending thus lowly before her. In the attitude of
adoration, yet he dare not adore ! It was not the
exquisite oTace of that tiny loot—no! no! he had
remarked the sweet blush upon her cheek, and the
deep, pure, spiritual light in her large grey eyes;
and the mere shoemaker, as if he hail been a man
of the world, and had moved all his life in society,
studying its mind and motives, understood the gifted
and fair girl, and would have laid his heart at her
feet—the little feet that looked too sacred for him
to touch. That would have been ridiculous, would
itMot ? For the soulless admiration of exquisites,
the formal affection of grave men, the deep love of
gibed poets hail been offered her—and would not
the words in which the young clerk might form
his feelings, have sounded strange to her aristocratic
ear? Oh! the very height of first love! madness
that would have been! So the shoemaker thought
nothing, except to tell her that the shoes would be
finished the next day; but he thought all the more;
and if I should say that the radiant young girl'
went out of the shoe store with the most perfect;
image of manly perfectness impressed indelibly
upon her heart, this would be quite a French story,
would it not? but I do not say so, neither tempt
you to draw the inference !
Busily the young shoemaker fashioned the tiny
gaiters that were to be called for on the morrow.
Though the proprietor of the establishnient thought
him more appropriately occupied in the show
rooms, yet he would make every inch of those pre
cious shoes. With every stitch he sewed in a burn•
ing thought, and it the soul of the maker could
have an influence On the wearer, the dreamy young
maiden with the pensive eyes would have only vis
ions of luve, and poetry, and beauty, while those
haunted shoes bound her slight feet.

•'1 don't feel very much flattered by your recep
tion, Madeline, mine, - said Grace Wells, the even
ing after her arrival on a visit to the pensive -eyed
friend she had selected for the runaway brother;
"here Clifford must start away and leave me to in
dulge some wild caprice, and now that I have come
to be consoled for his absence, aid perchance to find
him, half this evening you have been sitting with
ybur eyes fined on the floor ; utterly regardless of
pour poor deserted visiter."
" Why, Grace, have said the young girl with
a blush, drawing a low seat to the feet of het friend
and leaning her beautiful head on her lap as she
looked up in her face.
Graces little white hand looked charming es she
laid it amid those ebon masses of hair, sweeping
over the pure forehead and heaving upon the bosom
of the young, poetical Madeline. That proud, par
ticular broter would have had the heart ache
sadly ; if he could have guessed how (lovingly those
young girls were sitting there, and he so far away.
And if he had looked upon the bright spiritual
lace of his sister's friend--that lace so eloquent—
with its exceeding pureness and sweet smile—the
peerless forehead and the large, beaming, pensive
eyes that seemed to ask for tenderness and trust,
the laintly - tinted, softly-dimpled cheek—the rich,
proud, tender lip, and, over all, the ineffable expres
sion of the soul—perhaps he would have forgotten
what Grace told him about the foot, at least he
would have been more surprised than you yet know
a reason for.
Grace, too, looked very beautiful, with her pla
cidly pleasant thee, that was gentle and faultless
and a little mirthfid—her slight, elegant form, and
her white attn lying caressingly amid Madeline's
dark treses. She was a year or two older than
the fair girl at her feet. though she was not quite
twenty.
"Nk'ill you tell me what made you so thoughtful.
if I will not complain of your neglect l she asked
with a slight smile.
"Oh! I am sure you would laugh at me, Grace.
was thinking of—of a shoemaker that I saw
today."
Grace did, indeed, laugh merrily.
'Really, my fair poetess, can your glowing
imagination conjure up no more romantic ideal
than a shoemaker. You, my little fastidious one,
who shrank away from stony dignitaries and curl
your red lip at dandies, and shudder at fortune
seekers—you, who talk about cultivated soul, refine
ment blended with intellect, about the 'stature of a
perfect man'—have you descended to love at first
sight—and a shoemaker You must have a vivid
fancy, my bright dreamer?"
"You are not in earnest, Grace; you are trying
to fret me—just as if I loved this shoemaker be
cause I thought of-him. was wondering how
one evidently so elegantly, exceedingly refined, so
handsome and so intelligent, should have been in
such a station. It caused me to reflect that perhaps
there were those worthy of more than indifference
and scorn out of this aristocratic circle, where I
see so much to despise. Grace, dear, don't you
think there is?"
"Probably he was wealthy once," was the reply,
"and has met his change of position with a good
grace. That is certainly a great virtue. And I
think it would be as great a virtue in you to win
him away from hfg present situation, and place
him here in this splendid home, which is so much
better suited to his taste—besides you know you
are lonely with only grandma and aunt Effie for
companions."
" Oh ! I shall get angry with you, Grace, if you
do not stop teasing me," said the sweet girl, blush.
ing crimson. "But Ido think it is sad for him to
be there among such companions as clerks."—
"Alas, my foolish brother,"- sighed Grace to herself,
"you and Madeline are certainly lost to each other.
I never will try to bring about another match.
How does he look ?" she added aloud; and then
continued to herself, "I wish I had not told him
that story about her foot; but I wanted him to
love her for her beautiful soul."
"I am sure I cannot tell," said Madeline, "I only
know that he was singularly handsome and had
such eyes as I never saw before-they were deep
and changeable—not blue, nor hazel, nor black—
they were too eloquent to have a color!"
"Indeed!" was all Grace said as she fell into .a
musing mood immediately. A thought, had oc
curred to her that awakened an interest in the young
clerk as deep as her friend could have wished. "I
shall go with you to see this prodigy to-morrow,"
she said at length. "and, perhaps, we will have a
romance yet, such as we have sometimes dreamed
The next day the two young ladies called at the
shoe store. Grace entered, she pulled her veil down
dm-her face. The clerk was there, and the gaiters
were finished. A dainty, delicate pair were they,
and fitted those little feet to a nicety.
As Madeline took out her purse to pay for the
shoes, she asked her companion in a low voice in
Italian—
" Is he not beautiful?"
Grace pretended not to hear, so as to make no
reply ; but a Hash of mischief lighted up the face
of the clerk, so bright and irresistable that the color
grew rosier still when he replied in the same lan
guage with a slight bow—
" Thanks, dear lady."
Smiling at her own blunder, and quite confused,
the young girl Mimed away and, followed by her
friend, crossed the sidewalk \and was in the street ;
too much absorbed in her lionder and embarrass
meat to hear the terrified voice of Grace calling her
back, of whom she wags a iew paces in advance.
A span of frightened horses with a carriage at
tached were rushing directly towards her. They
were but a few leaps from the beautiful when she
heard the cries of many and the crushing of the
vehicle. Turning her head, she beheld them leap
ing and rushing, so near—it seemed as if she were
already beneath the feet ol the terrible animals. She
could not fly, but stood suddenly still with' her
hands elapsed. Deaf and blind, and motionless with
sudden terror, she heard nothing till a low, earnest
voice uttered fervently—
" Thank God!"
Opening her eyes she met those deep ones of the
stranger, and fainted in the strong arms which had
grasped her from destruction.
At this moment the carriage of the Meliens came
up, and stopped, as the ladies had directed the
coachman to call for them there. The clerk lifted
the insensible girl in, mid also Grace, and their; by
invitation, entered himself, and the coachman drmie
towards home. •
So absorbed was he in his lovely charge that
they had nearly arrived- there before the stranger
noticed who was in the carriage. will not be
tray you," he heard a low voice say, and for the
first time remembered that he had seen his com
panion before, "why, Grace Wells; how came you
here? I did not—
" Hush r she interrupted him, putting her small
hand over his lips, " I will keep your secret," and
just then the long lashes of the swooning girl
unclosed.
The motion of the carriage had revived her, and
though she was very weak from fright, yet she was
able to sit up with the assistance of her friend
Grace, and to thank her preserver with eloquent
lips and yet more eloquent eyes.
When they were at length arrived, and the clerk
had assisted Madeline to the door, she looked plead
ing at Grace who smiled encouragingly, and then
asked her preserver to come in.
" Not now," he said, " until you are rested, you
must feel very weary, Miss- - here he paused.
" Miss Mellen," murmured Madeline, and as she
spoke the name, Grace glanced with a look of tri
umph at the stranger.
"1 will call, Miss Mellen, when you have recov
ered from the fatigue, and bring h'ith me the shoes
you lost in your terror," said the clerk with a smile,
and retired.
He (lid come that evening. The ladies were, by
chance alone. Never was an evening passed so
happily between strangers before. Beside the in
telligence, beauty and refinement of all—something
would speak out in the glowing cheeks and timid
eyes of the young Madeline, and la the eloquent
face of her preserver that told a great deal more
than their lips told.
" It he is a shoemaker, he is a true, noble man,"
murmured the sweet maiden as she nestled to sleep
on the bosom of Grace.
"Oh! yes!" was the sleepy reply of that young
girl.
And, perhaps this story will be kind of French
atter all.
MOUE=
Twilight was stealing into the back parlor of the
Mellen mansion. The fair friends sat in an open
window, watching the last crimson tints melt away
from the edge of the distant forest.
This is a sweet evening to love and be loved,"
said Grace pensively, looping the silk curtain still
further back, as the clarkne3s came up from the dis
tance and drew near.
While she spoke the door bell rang, and a voice
was heard in the hall that made Madeline blush
and start.
" Good night for the present, - said Grace, gaily
hurrying from the room by one door, Just as the
visitor came in at the other. -
"Come back, dear Grace; cried the young girl.
but Grace did not come, for she knew that the call
was not in earnest.
The visitor came and sat down in the window
where Grace had sat. He did not speak, not even
to say good evening ; but looked into the drooping
face of Madeline with his earnest eyes. Her heart
throbbed tremulously beneath his glance, and while
her own were concealed by those dark lashes, she
murmured in a low voice, with an effort to subdue
her embarrassment—
" Who is there that will not be happy such a glo
riot's night - as this
" There is one that is not happy, - was the earnest
reply. " Oh! to love—to love with the whole soul
a being like thee, Madeline—so pure, so rare, and
spiritual abd beautiful—to thrill beneath your
smile—to listen to your words—to look upon your
loveliness—to drink from the waters of your fresh
spirit—yet be kept bark by fate, by circumstances,
by poverty, from pleading for your love—Oh ! Mad
eline."
" Who thinks of gold where the heart is ?" was
the almost whispered reply of the young girl, while
her lashes sunk still closer in her cheek.
" You do not—cannot love me, Madeline?''
The eloquent eyes of the maiden were raised till
the intenseness of their' full, loving light burned
down into the heart of the lover.
" My Madeline! may I believe those eyes ?"
The young girl dare not reply.
"If I may believe them, dearest--if you do love
me, let me kiss butt once that young forehead, my
Madeline."
The lair brow was bent to the touch of his qui,
ering lips—a bright tear fell upon his bosom as he
folded her there. What was tate or fortune to the
communing spirits who sat tbere—the kindred
spirits—the delicate, high-bred heiress and the shoe
maker who Fashioned the shoes upon her dainty
feet.
Sweetly and tenderly their i•oices murmured to
gether, making that rare music, the music of the
heart. It was, indeed, as Grace had said, an even
ing to love and be loved.
" But will your friends, aunt Effie, your guardian,
consent to your marrying one so lowly as I r
asked the lover as the evening wore away.
" Alas! I fear not, they do not appreciate you
as I do.".
" And if they will not—then ?". he asked earn
estly. '
" I will share your portion, my dear one, even if
I should bind shoes by your-side," was the reply'of
the enthusiastic young creature, as her loving eyes
rested upon his.
" Bless you, Madeline, bless you for your truth
.and love, I am not worthy of you. I have a sister,
a mother and a home in another city. There I can
bear you, and if there is not splendor there is com
fort, kindness and overflowing love."
" Then with you I would be happy."
That night Grace was sleeping softly when
Madeline stole to their chamber, but the happy,
yet trembling girl awakened her and sitting amid
the curtains on the bed-side, she told with eloquent
cheeks and hurried words the events of the evening.
" Is it not right that I should wed him, when he
is so gifted and so good, even if my selfish aunt
does object?" she inquired eagerly.
" I think you should by all means'," was the ener.
getic reply of the young confidant—which advice
being disinterested, was, of course, entitled to jlise
consideration.
The next day or so, Grace went' home.
CH AFTER Y. 4
Grace had been at home but a few weeks when
one morning she said coaxingly to her mother—
" Mamma, may .t give a party l"
'; Do you wish to very much, dear !" asked the
parent kindly.
" Yes, mamma, very much:"
" Then.you can, my love, certainly."
"Oh ! thank_ you, mamma," and Grace kissed
her mothir's cheek.. •
The night of the party came—the rooms were
tuagnificent--the visitors brilliant, and Orrtee.beau
tiful as a star. She seemed unusually happy and a
little more excited than her wont; she was usually
so queenly and self possessed in society. She was
as restless and brilliant as a caged bird, and glanced
so much at the hall.doors, that her mother at length
remarked it, and coming up, enquired who she was
expecting that made her so uneasy. Just as she
was about to reply; she heard a voice' in
,the hall
that caused her to leave the queition uureplied to,
and ran away quite undignified.
A travelling carriage stood before the illuminated
mansion.
" We are at Home, dearest one—at home now,"
said the young husband as he lifted Madeline from
the carriage.
"What do you mean ?-1 . am bewildered," mur
mured the bride, as he lifted her into his arms and
bore her into the hall, where crying and laughing
and happy, Grace stood to welcome her brother's
bride.
"'This is my sister, Madeline ; Grace, ;welcome
your friend, I have come home now to be a good
boy, I shill !lot make any more shoes this year; I
am resolved. But where is mother ?"
" Wait a moment, Clifford, dear, don't you see
how agitated Madeline is?—she must come to my
room and rest a moment and change her dress,
whiled take the responsibility of telling mamma."
Madeline did pout a little and declare she would
go back to aunt Effie—but Grace kissed away •the
little frowns and smoothed the,bride's hair; and
the gentle mother came in and folded her to her
heart so much kinder than h4r cross aunt, that she
concluded to stay.
Was not the party inn raptures with the beautiful
youno• ' bride?
"I believe I did make that match, after all,"
said Grace to herself, though with what reason no
one knew.
Mrs. Clilliard Wells always kept a pair of half
worn gaiters put carefully away in her cabinet of
curiosities.
And whet') Grace was scolded for the ; falsehood
she told about the feet of her friend, she always
said that she meant they were " positively" large,
comparatively to what they were when she was a
baby ; though to be sure they were superlatively
small for a full grown woman.

DAIIINO ATTEMPT OP A CONVICT TO ESCAPE.—
Quite a daring exploit came off la' t week at the
State penitentiary at Detroit, in which powder and
bullets did their part. The negro W. H. AndersotC
convicted in Decemben.lB47, of the brutal murder
of Bingham, in Michigan, made a desperate leap
on Thursday, to rid himself of what he looked
upon as the too rigid and arbitrary rules of that
establishment. He first got permission to work in
the yard instead of in a shop, on the plea of de
clining health. He was put at dressing stone.
On Thursday he procured permission to go to an
outhouse and took his cold chisel with which he
unfastened the ball and chain around his ancles, he
came out and went up a ladder leading on to a new
building, and going to the west end, made a despe
rate leap ,twenty-two feet down on the root of the
guard house, (not more than three feet across) on
the main wall. Mr. Goodwin, one of the'guard,
was in the guard house at the time. The negro
next bounded on the wall, and in an instant swung
himself off the wall to the ground outside. The
wall is 16 or 18 feet high..
The guard caught his carbine and fired the ball
taking effect in the 'negro's right arm, - neat the
elbow. He kept on Otis course, however, and as he
passed the.northwest.eorner of the yard, Mr. Cole,
sentinel on that corner of the wall "hit him again,"
the ball entering the right side just above the hip
and going clear through his body. This brought
him down, but he immediately recovered, and in
double quick time forded or swam the river, and
took for the swamp on the west side. In the inean
time, Goodwin, Cole and others, were, on his track.
The chase lasted some thirty or forty rods,-when
Goodwin came up to him, some distance ahead of
the others, when the convict, notwithstanding his
wounds, showed fight in the most desperate manner.
Mr. Goodwin succeeded, however, by using the butt
of his carbine, in keeping him off until the other
pursuers arrived,. when he finally surrendered to the
superiority of nambers. Although pretty severely
dealt with, he is doing well, °and the physicians
think he will recoven—Press.
