Captain Bingham, in his "Expedition to China," gives nn inteiesiing account of the manufacture of small feet nt (. huan : " Durinji our ?tay nt this anchorage, wo made cooxtaot trips to the jmrrouudinjj inlands, iu one of which at Tea Island we had au opportunity of minutely examining the far-fumed little female led. 1 had been pur chasiug; a pretty little pair of satin shoes, for about a half a dollar, at one of the Chinese farmers' l.tiu.so!i, where we were surrounded by several men, women and chiULeo. By signs we expressed a wish to. see the little foot fa really good-looking woman ofthe party. Our sigus were quickly understood, but, pro bably, from her beinj a matron, it was tint considered quite becoming for her to coin-, ply with our desire, as stie woold not consent to show iij her feet: but a very pretty ioter es' ing gill of about sixteen was placed on a stool for ihe purpose of gtalifying our curiosity. At (list she wm very bashful, and appeared not to like exposing her Cindeielia like slip per, but the shine of a new and very bright "Inopoe" soo is overcame hor delicacy, when she commenced unwinding the upper ban dage which passaiound the leg, nod over tongue which vomes op from the heel. The shoe was then removed, and the second bau dage taken oil", which did for a stocking ; the turns round the toes and ankles being very tight, and keeping ail in place. On '.he naked foot being exposod to view, we were agreeably surprised at finding itdeli cately white and clean, for we fuiiy expected to have found it otherwise, from the known habits of most of: the Chinese. The leg, from the knee downward, was much waisted ; the foot appeared as if broken up nt the in step, while the four small toes were bent flat and pressed under the foot, the great too only being allowed to retain its natural position. By the breaking ofthe iustep a high arch is formed between the heel nud toe, enabling the individual to step with them on au even surface; in this respect materially differing from the Cantor, and Macao ladies; for with them tbe instep is not interfered with, but a very high heel is substituted, thus bringing the point of the great toe to the ground. When our Canton rompradore was shown a Chusati shoej the exclamation was " He yaw! how. can waikee so fashion V nor could he be convinced mat such was the case. The toes doubled under the foot, I have been describing, could only he removed by the hand sufficiently to show that they were t"T actually rrGvn into the foot. I have of ten been astonished 8t seeing how well the women contrived to walk on their tiuy pedes tals. Their gate is not unlike the little minc ing walk of the French ladies; they were constantly to be seen going out without the aid of any slick, and I have often seen them ai Macao cotiteudiug against a fresh breeze, with a tolerable good sized umbrella t-pread. The little children, as they scrambled away before us, balanced themselves wiih their arms extended, and reminded one much of au old hen, between walking and flying. Three: Bad Habits. -There are throe weaknesses in our habit? which are very coi;: tti'iti, and wbi- h h ive a very prejudical iufl" ence on our welfare. The first is giving way lo th- ease or indulgence ofthe moment, instead oi di.ing at once what ought to be done. This) practice almost diminishes thi beneficial effects ofonr actions, arid ofter leads us to abstain from action altogether; as, for instance, if at ihis season of tbe year there i a gleam of sunshine, of which we feel we ought to take advantage, but we have not the resolution lo leave at the moment a com foi table .steal or an attractive occupation, -we miss th inojt favotable opportunity, aod, per haps, at last justify ourselves iu remaining in door on the ground that the time for exercise is past. Children should be toid to do noih-i.-sg but what is reasonable, but they should be taught to do what they are told at once. The second weakness is, when we have made good resolution, ud have paniniiy fnih-d in executing it, we are very apt to abandon it altogether. For instance, if a person wiv? has been accustomed to rise at ten, resolves to rise at six, and after a few successful at tempts happens t i sleep till 7, there is grewt danger thit he will relapse into his forme:' habit, and piobably even go beyond it, and lie till noon. It is the saute with regard tc lesoldliouss as to economy, or temperance, or anything else ; if we cannot do ail we intend, or make one slip, w-e are apt to give it up entirely. Now, what we ho"l.l aim at is, always to do tue best we can under exisiiiifr circumstance., and then our progress, with the exception of slight interruptions, would Ua continual. The third and last weakness to which I al lude, is the practice of eating and drinking things because they are on the table, und es pecially when they are to be pa it! tot. How seldom it happens that two men leave u few glasses of wine iu a decanter at a cofTee house, though they have both had enough ; and the consequence of not doing so, is fre quently to order a fresh supply; but, at any rate, even the first excess is pernicious. Ex cess, however slight, either iu solids or liquids, deranges the powcis of digestion, nud of oour.se diminishes thes full benefit ol any meal. A very small quantity will cause ihe difference between spending the remainder of the day profitably or agreeably, and in indolence and dissipation. ANECDOTE OF A PARROT. The following, which we derive fiom a Bostoii friend, who assures us that it is a ' statement of a veritable occurrence," we can veri readily believe. Indeed, we have never been able to doubt any thing which a bird might say since we heard Uncle Bczo net's " Poor Mingo," iu Nassau street, laugh and sing, and exclaim " Good morning " What's your name 1" "Uncle John! Un cle John ! somebody's in the store j" and then, changing his toue, remark, what nobody could deny, " What an extraordinary bird !" But to his "Boston colemporary.' "I came across a pious pairot the other day,- while strolling down towards the wharves. It was the fii st of the class 1 had ever seen. I was just passing by a sailor boarding house, when 1 heard, several times repeated, the words, " Loid ha' massy on poor Poll, a sinner ! Lord ha' massy ! Ameu !' Turning round, I perceived they were uttered by a pairot, who, w ith one claw drawn up, head bent reverently down, and eye cocked solemnly upward, was now following her ejaculations by Ihe most piteous moans. Talking parrots are general ly sad creatures, and seldom very choice iu their language. But here,' thought I, ' is an exception ; and surely a race which has in it even one individual capable of attaining to a knowledge of its utterly depraved condition cannot be altogether lost.' What seemed to be the more remarkable, was the f.ct that such knowledge should have been attainable iu n s;ilor boardiug house iu otic ofthe most vic ious streets in the city. ' While these thoughts were passing through my mind, the parrot had been eyeing me with an eager glance, as if she was quite ready for a chat, and waited on ly for nie io begin it. Pretty Poll!' strok ing her head gently with my cane Polly have a biscuit V Yes G d d n you ! handover!' was the sharp, quick reply.- Knickerbocker. A FACT FO;l THE PHRENOLOGIST. Ddii!. . Webster, though, having n remarkable ti!? - i mory of incidents, has no f iculty for remem bering names. In his unuine of Wyman, in discussing the allegation ofthe government counsel, that the dates of many of Stanley, Resd and Skinner's notes were fabricated by Wymau, Mr W. had occasion to rneution tho firm several times, acd on every occasion he' uniformly named them wrong; sometimes calling the second member Fiske, generally the first Stanton, much to the amusement of the crowd and his own vexation ; until, to cap the climax, he came out with "Stanton, Fiske & Nichols." There was a burst of laughter, and 3Ir W. turned abruptly round, saying, "He believed he should call them so till the day of his death." The next time, however, he came out very triumphantly and deliberate ly with Stanley, Reed & Co., in full. Tho same peculiarity is also mentioned of Napo leon, dates and names he could not remem ber, bitt incidents and localities, particularly the latter, he seldom forgot. Dramatic Talents. There exist about this city (New York) a great many histrionic establishments, where stage struck heroes en deavor to enact the characters of Shake speare's proud representatives." Not a great while ago, a tailor's apprentice mado his ap pearauce at one of these theatres in the character of Hamlet. In one of the early scenes he makes the following reply to a question from his mother : Seems, madam ! nay it is ; I know not seems.M " Oh, cracky, Noggs !" sung out a little fel low in the pit, with great eagerness 'here'a Charley Seidel, the tailor, saya be don't know what teams means !" Sunday- Alius. In the "Voice of Warning," a Milleritc pa per, we find the following extra flourish in a' theological way : "There the fi"S babes, for they will all go up in that day, are to be taken from their wicked parents' arms, and those parents are' left ! lefl ! ! ! lefl ! ! ! Left to what? Not to the next car-, for .he last train that will ever run for glory has gone gone for ever ! ! ! ' It will afford sweeter happiness in the hour of death to have wiped one tear from the cheek of sorrow, than to have ruled au empire, to have conquered millions, or enslaved the" world. "You give me a gieatdeal of trouble," said a king to one of his generals who had long been petitioning for some favor. '"Your Ma jesty's enemies say tbw? same thiug,"' was the gnliant reply. Cows nr.vi?tfj up suddenly. We have heard of several instances recently, of cows which were giving n good quantity of milk, suddenly diving op. Iu one instance that of Mr Chamberlin, of the firm of J. Breck Co., by giving the cow an ounce of saltpetre" iu quart of meal, brought a return ofthe" milk in a verv f-hort time. V. . Farmer. "Why is n newspaper like a tooth-brush?" Because every body should have one of hi own, aud not borioiv his neighbor's. TO CONVERT FA PER INTO TRAMES FOR picti'kes. For this purpose, a convenient quantity of the best sou of while paper must be steeped for two or three days in water, till it becomes very soft ; then, being reduced by the mortar and hot Hter info a thin pulp, it is to be laid upon a sieve to draw off" its sujer fluous moisture ; after which, it is to be pot into warm water, wherein a considerable quan tity of fresh glue, or common size, has been dissolved ; it may then be placed in mould, to acquire the desired figure, and when taken out, may be strengthened as occasion requires, with plaster or moistened cbark, and when' dry, painted or overlaid. & .
