WOODWARD'Ss BOOT POLISH.

Not long ago We called the attention of
the public to the superior merits uf w ood-
wards Boot and shoe Polish. At that
time. however we were only acquainteai
with its merits, and did not dream. that
anything SO soperiative Of iss kind could
also have IFS de merits. SucL now appears
to be the fact. as~the foliowsjng incident Z

and put up'' for srhe stt at one pf the
hotels. Upon awak;ng in the morning
and attempting TO dress. he was much
struck with pair of boots at his door.
He knew that he wore boots to town.
but not such now met his astonishcd
vision. His were OF good calf skin, and
of fashionable make. aud so were these;
but there the likeness ended. His wore
a decent exterior, bat these shown like
| mirror, in which lie could not ONLY view
his own physioguomy, but all the furniture
in the room was reflected. After mo-
ment's solemn contemplation, he thus
solisoquised, (beins in doubt about anoth-
er fact as we'll as the propIietorsbip of the
boots) ''Who am /! If am Jami Jami-
son, I've lost pair Of good boots; but il
am not Ja,pi Jam-nn, I've found 4 most
splendid pair.' Not knowing exactly
whether he was Jami Jami.on or not, he
concluded t" put ON the boets and stir
aouut little. aud see If he could not re-
solve the doubt. This he did. and after
walking about a while and getting the cob
webs out of his throat and the toS out Of
his garret, be came f!nsAx to the co:iclu-
sion that he was Jami Jamison. and that
the boots were not his. Upon arriving at
this conclusion. he returned TO the hotel
aud informed the landlord that his own
boots had been taken from his room the
night before, and the pair he then had on
put in their place. Upon this complaint
the landlord called upon the boot blac!, to
account for the mistake. This important
(anctionary averrcd that there was no mis-
! take-th there was no other dodgers in
the house that night but ''massa Jamison
aud the regular boar.!ers,' the latter of
whom all had their own boots. Upon
this announcement janis doubts again
arose as to who he was. and he concluded
to say no more upon the subject Just then.
After getting his breakfast he left ehafkT
to attend to the business which brpuo
him to town. But perplexed as he was he
made slow progress, and at the dinner
hour lie saw very clearly that he must dis

town another day. So he weighed the
doubts pro. aud con in Il lump, and found
to his entire satisfaction that it would be
much the shortest way to solve them in
favor OF the probability that he was Jam,
Jan,ison. This done, he hurried to the
hotel and again complained to the Land
lord OF the loss Of his boots. who very Gu-
ety asked him if he had examined for any
marks that might be upon them, ..Marks.

Jami, at the same time tapping the toe
over towards the instcp several inches,
''wl,a, if they do? don't intend to wear

coo!ly Inquired ct Jami the cost Of hi, boot,
and was answered that they cost s.. upon

Upon subsequent inquiry the whole
