MIXING A GOOD IMPRESSION.
by An VIII MOT.


:. Sarah. Matilda Ellen Jones WINS vers
desiro,ls To make laverabe impression on
the mini of certain young Dr.. jackson,
who had recently moved into the village oi
Elowerdale, and of whom, report said many
tine things; as, that he was .nan OF
elegant appearance finished educatien,
single, Connected with highly respectable
family, aud, moreover, worth something
handsome. -...
The girls Of Flowerdale were as matter
or course oil by the ears-we don't netn
quairrelling-about DR.. jackson. Fanny
'iiller, Jane Herbert. and Florence Nifber,
parlicuiar friends oi Sarah Matildt's, had
already been introduced to the young
physician, aud their report was of n decided
character. Fanny sa:d he was the most
agreeable man she had ever met; Jane was
il raptures with his person; such splendid
eyes and teeth such carriage-and
Florence laughlngly declared him 10 be
perfect beau ideal in every thing.
Sarah Matilda Ellen Jones was the
daughter Of Jeremiah Jones, a very excel
lent man, whose ''profession," as Sarah
called il. was that Of q saddle and harness
maker. He was not rich; neither was he
poor, By industry he had been able to ac-
cutmnulate enough to buy himself comfort
able dwelling, and also 10 build halt a
dozen small houses, the annual income from
which did not fall very far short of thou
sand dollars. His business, TO which he
devoted himself with commeEable industry,
Welded him few hundred dollars above
his expenses every year. Mr.. Jones, was,
therefore, in very comfortable circumstan-
ces, and getting better off every day. He
was a sensible man, and his wife sensible
woman in most OF the affairs of life. They
gave their daughter, Sarah Matilda, good
education, and had her accomplished in
matters of music, dancing, drawing, ETC., as
far as tn could be done during a years
soiourn at a boarding. school located near
the capital of the state.
Prom this boarding gschool the young lady
had returned with a few notions on the sub
iects Of love and gentility in advance {,
those ordinarily held in rlowerdale. al
useful employments she considered vulgar
In this view we may be sure that she toun
little sympathy at home; where, in spite
her new and improved ideas, she was com
pelled to take her part in the doings G
what had to be done, and darn stockings
mend the Jackets and trowers Of her brothers
and even peel potatoes and turnips, c
string the beans and shell the peas, just g
things turned up. All this was serlou
grief 10 Sarah Matilda, and humiliation {
her feelings; but Mr.. and Mrs. Jones wei

1870

The aggregate vote was diminished
"a. 900, since 1874, when it should have
increased by large number, if the full vote
of the increased population had been given.
The total number of electors who withheld
their suffrages from President Taylor was
not less than $4,000.
1t is not to be supposed, however, that a
single Taylor man stayed away from the
nolIs. but on the other hand both Hunkers
and Barnburners voted the whig ticket for
fear one Of the others might succeed. As
it was the Taylor ticket was over 1900

Ssasona6le Information.-As the house
wives are now rumaging their closets for
their stoves, the following piece Of informa-
ton may prove seasonable:
To Keep a Store Bright ky T'Do Ap.
plications q Year.-Make a weak alum
water, and mix your British lustre with it,
perhaps two teaspoonfulls to gill of alum
water; let the stovs be cold, brash with tho
mixture, then take a dry brush, rub the
stove till it is perfectly dry. Should any
part before polishing, be so dry as to look
gray, moisten it with wet brush and pro-
ceed as before stated.-Phi. Ledger.

TENDING PHYsIcrAN.-Dr Bacon, formerly
of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer-now
OF the Merchants Day Book-says:
"The Whig party, beaten on every di-
rect issue, has successfully abandoned eu-
cry measure Of beneficial legislation-ers
cry principle on which it aoas first formed
and s4nited. Having done so, it should
have dissolved; but the form and organiza.
of the party have been since kept up, for
no other end than the eleuation of pron,i-
nent partizans to places Of poUer and
profit. A great number, who have long
been enslaved by versatile and unpripci-
pied leaders, have at last found out this
fact; and a sense of the truth will peryade
the whole mass"

A WoNDRoUs CANE.-A correspondent
of the N. Y. Herald thus describes cane
carried by ex-Gov. Marcy at the Syracuse
Conventions:
"Gov. Marcy sported heavy walking
stick, ivory headed and gold lerruled, with
q socket of brass at the foot. The timber
of the cane is from the flag staff ofthe Ma
tlonal Palace Of Mexico, occupied by the
Americans, Sept. l4,ls97. The socket is
from Mexican howilzer, and the iron
ramrcd of a Mexican escopeta, run through
the heart of the stick, gives it the solidity OF
lignum vitae. The ierrule which binds
the ivory head to the cane is Of California
gold, and the Governor says he has no
doubt that the ivory is from tusk of "the
elephant' which SO many Of the volunteers
discovered in the deserts and terres calie1a-
.es Of Mexico
Such ''stick' would give body "Bem'
if it hit them hard enough. Hope Mr..
Marcy is peace man.

He had found dry spot. yet he had the
wherewith 10 moisten the clay, or sort of
ont-can't catch cold on the stomach, to
keep out the damps, and of this he had
taken rather freely.
Instinct or some other cause, had driven
an old SOW, with her pigs, 10 seek the same
quarters, and they looked upon the biped
customer as an intruder. When the off,
GERS came up, they heard a person talking,
and as it was dark, they listened awhile.
How long the interesting conlnb had gone
on they could not tell, but it appears that
the loaler fancied himself doctor, and also
iancied the old SOW and pigs patients.
'''rhink you're got the cholera, hey?'
said the loafer.
':Ugh! replied the old sow.
swell then -that'll do, don'l come too
close; it amt clear but catchin', YETI
By this time the old sow had found a
place that suited, and lay down with her
head close TO the doctor.

What do you say?'

'spose it means what they can't no up,

All this time he had been holding out his
bottle for his patienrtto drink, and had been
spilling it on the old sow and the pigs.
Some finally poured in the old sow's eye,
and she began to move, and the pigs
squealed. 5-
