Poetry of the Feet.

beautiful passages on the subject occur
in the llible, and Itishop Kitt.o, in his

ic older profane poets make many
allusions to the feet. Homer calls
Thetis the “silver-footed queen." Ba
thos. in his “Idylliuin,” says of his
subject:
Charming Bombyco, you my numbers greet,
How lovely, lair and bonutilul your foot. ”
In the scene where Paris judges the
beauties of the three goddesses and
awards the apple to Venus, he says:
Thoir gait ho marked as gracefully thoy
moved,
And round their feet hisoyo Pngncious roved.’>
The old English poets made many
pretty allusions to the feet. Among
them Herrick thus compliments a
lady:
" Her pretty feet, like smilos, did oroop
A little out, and then,
Ah il they staitod at bo-potp,
Did soon draw in again.”
Butler imagines flowers springing up
in the pathway of one of his heroines.
“Where’er you tread your loot shull sot
The priinroso and the violet.”
In an anonymous volumo published
in 1853 are the following beautiful
lines:

lJrot Harte on the California Miners
Bret Ilarte said in a recent lecture
Salt Lake City supplied a resting place
for the Argonauts from the East, and
they hnd so little continence in the sue

said that the sluice-boxes which they
carried to wnsli the goid would, in the
event of ill success, make first class
coffins. They fell on strange fates, nnd
exile revealed to tItem unsuspected ca
pacities. The lecturer was attended at
a restaurant by a waiter who bore
strange resemblance to a person he hnd
always admired as the model of refined
good breeding. Not caring to wound
the feelings of the waiter—who carried
a revolver—Mr. Harte had inquired of
the proprietor of the hotel whether the
waiter was not in fact a person who in
the East hnd filled a much higher post

Mr. Harte; and the gambler was himself

Sons have gone over the falls. Last
summer seven went over, four on the
American side and three on the Cana
dian. Of those who bo over the Ameri
can falls the bodies are very seldom
recovered, they tell me, while the bodies
of those who go over on the Canadian
side are usually found. This is because
of the iagged rocks which lie hidden in
the whirl nnd foam at tile foot of the
American falls—these, grim teeth that
they are, seize upon the victim delivered
to them, and hold him inn grip from

him, a grip which shall not be relaxed

boatmen, I nm told, familiar with the
river, who iall a prey to the falls.
Crossing nnd ^’crossing the river in
safety thousands of times, knowing, as
they suppose, every phnseof the current,
they finally come to look upon it witli
indifference if not with contempt, and,
joing once too often to the well, come to
liave their pitchers terribly broken at
last. The usual fatcofall who toy with
the manes of lions or attempt the role of
tiger-tamers is theirs. Some day there
a craunch, and all is over. Last sum
mer, for instance, two boatmen started
to cross the river in a sailboat, taking
no oars along. It had been thoir home
since childhood, and boating was their
business. Who should presume tolwarn

grip of the current—n grip relentless nnd
unrelaxing as that of fate. F’aster and
faster, ns though drnwn by demons be
neath tho keel, their boat neared the
rapids. And onco in the rapids—ah, the
story is soon told. F’rom the bond of
the rapids to their foot—the falls—a dis
tance of perhaps eighty rods, the dcclino
is nigh upon ninety feet. And down

Very pretty is the above conceit, and
here is still another from an anonymous
poet of the olden time:
" I>o not (oar to put thy fuot,

Sir John Suckling, in iiis ballad of
the “ Wedding,” says of tho bride:

Shakespenre abounds witli allusions
to the feet, lie speaks of Diomedo
walking:
“ ’Tie lie, I kon the mnnncr of his gait;
Ho rist-B on tho too; that spirit ol Ids
Inspiration lilts him lrom tho earth.”
Also—
" His loot morenrial; his mnrliul stride.”
Or—
" His foot spurns back tho oeoan.”
Of some of his female characters ho
says:
“ llor lip, nay, hor foot speaks.”
And—
Shore's wile hath a pretty foot.”
And again—

of that portion of tho “human form

Professor F’lower, in a recont letter
on the “ Anatomy of Man,” before
the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, discussed at some length the ques
tion of his origin on tho American con
tinent. Till recently, opinions on the
early peopling cf America had been
a betwoci
divided between the views that tho in
habitants of this continent were a dis
tinct indigenous people, nnd therefore
' ed to those of any other land
not rolatc _
ar. d that they were descended from nri
Asiatic people who, in comparatively
recent times, passed into America by
the way of Behring strait, and thence
spread gradually over tho whole con
tinent. These theories have had to
undergo considerable modification in
consequenco of the discovery of the
grent antiquity of the human race in
America, as well ns in the old world.
The proof of this nntiquity rests upon
the high and independent state of civ
ilization which had been attained by
the Mexicans and Peruvians at the time
of the Spanish conquest, and tho evi
dence that that civilization had been
preceded by several other stages of cul
ture, following in succession through
good stretch of time. Tho antiquity
this quasi-historical period is, however,
entirely thrown into ttie shade by the
evidence now accumulating from vari
ous parts of North and SouGi America,
that man existed on the Western con
tinent, and under much the same con
ditions of life, using precisely similar
weapons and tools, ns in Europe during
the Pleistocene or Quaternary period,
and perhaps even farther back in time'
Recent paleontological investigations
show that an immense number of forms
of terrestrial animals, that were form
erly supposed to bo peculiar to tho old
world, arc abundant in tho new. Tak
ing all circumstances into consideration,
it is quite as likely that Asiatic man
may have been derived from America
as the reverse, or both may liavo had
their source in a common center, in
some region of the earth now covered
