TO THE "ENQUIRER" CHILDREN.

TO THE "ENQUIRER" CHILDREN
Last Friday, as you know, dear children
was the 22d of February, the birthday o
the great and good Washington. Now, hov
do you suppose we celebrated that day.
By giving the children a place in the En-
quirer, which they can turn to and reat
every week, and claim as their own. I
you will look at the head of this column
you will seq in large letters, the words
"Childrens' Department" and we desigr
to have under this head from week to week
choice bits Of all sorts of reading for you1
own especial benefit and happiness.
We dearly love the children. We love
to do them good, and make them happy
Their merry laugh, their sparkling eyes
and their sunny faces, make them pleas
ure to everybody who has a kind and open
heart. A good-natured king was once
caught down on his hands and knees, "play.
ing horse" with his little boy. Don't you
think he was pleasant gentleman? We
intend to "play horse" with the little folks
too, and jump the rope, and buff the blind
man, and tell great many pretty little sto-
ries, here in the "Childrens' Department. "
All the boys and girls under fifteen years
old, may call themselves THE Enquirer
Children. What do you say-"Oh! Mr..
Enquirer, Sissy Bonnet is not fifteen, and
she thinks she is quite young lady"?-
and, "Brother Hat is only fourteen, but he
calls himself man.? Well, if they think
so, let them be so, if We cannot persuade
them to be children again. Butyou watch
them closely, and you will catch them often
reading the merry things in your depart
ment.
A long time ago, there was lady named
Atalsnta. In those days, the people often
ran foot-races and Atalanta could run al
most as fast as the wind. Her father was
a prince. She had great many lovers,
bnt she couldn't marry them all, you know !;
so her father said that the one who beat her
in the race should have her for his Wife
When she beat one he was to be killed.
They all ran with her, but were outstript
and so had to die, except one. His name
was Hippomenes. He could not run any
faster than the others. Now, how do you
guess be beat her, then? Why, he got
some golden apples and threw them down
before her; and while she stopped to pick
them up, be ran ahead Of her, and thus won
the race, and got her for his wife. So, if
you wish to win in the race of life, you must
not stop for the golden apples Of temptation,
like Atalanta did; and you must prepare
for the race, like Hippomenes did. And
now we will close by asking you to renem-
Der the story of Atalanta and Hippomenes.

A GooD JoKE.-A loafer, while stop
ping at tavern up country, used to lounge
about the bar and drink other people,
liquor. Not glass could be left alone fo
a moment, but he would slip up, and drink
its contents. One day stage driver came
in, and called for stiff horn of brandy
toddy. Jehu Immediately played possun
by leaving his brandy while he stepped te
the door. The bait took. On returning
he saw his glass empty, and exclaimed,
with all the diabolical horror he could af-
feet:
'sBrandy and opium enough to Kill forty
men Who drunk that pizen?"
~ !" stammered the loafer, ready to yield
up the ghost with alright.
"You're dead man !" said the driver.
"What shall do?" beseeched the other,
who thought himself gone sucker.
sDown with pint of lamp oil, or you're
q dead man in three minutes J" answered
the wicked driver And down went the
limp oil, and up came the brandy and
opium, together with his breakfast. The
joke was told, and be has never drunk
other peoples liquor since.

"MoRE'N You'll KEEP."-Some years
ago an old sign painter, who was very cross,
very gruf, and little deaf, was engaged
to paint the ten commandments on a tab
let in church not FIVE miles from Buffalo.
He worked two days at it, and at the end
of the second day the pastor of the church
came to see how the work progressed. The
old man stood by, smoking short pipe, as
the reverned gentleman ran his eyes over
the tablet.
"Eh!" said the pastor, as his familiar
eye detected something wrong in the word
ing of the precepts "why, you careless old
person, you have left part of one of the
commandments entirely out; don't you
see ?"
No, no such thing" said the old man
putting on his spectacles; no, nothing left
out-where%'
"Why there" persisted the pastor, "lool
at them in the Bible; you have left some
of the commandments out"
"Well, what if I have?" said old Obsti
macy, as he ran his eyes complacently ovel
the work. "What if l have? There:
more on there now than you'll keep"

CooL.-A little circumstance has jus
come to us through friend of the parties.
which we are tempted to make public. II
is as follows: A couple, very we'll known
in the country, are at present arranging
terms for separation, to avoid the scandal
of judicial divorce, and friend has been
employed by the husband to negotiate the
matter. The latest mission was in refer.
ence to a valuable ring given to the wife
before marriage by the husband. For this
he made certain much desired concession.
The friend made the demand. "What ~
said the indignant wife, edo you venture to
charge yourself with such mission to me
Can you believe that could tear myself
from gift which alone recalls to me the
days when my husband loved me? No
this ring is my only souvenir Of happiness
forever departed IT'S all (and here she
wept) that now possess Of once foud
husband" The friend insisted. The la.
dy supplicated-grew obstinate-grew des.
perate-threatened to submit to a public
divorce as lesser evil than parting with
the cherished ring, and at last confessed
that she had sold 1t SIR months before =

EUREKA SILVER POLISH

EUREKA SILVER POLKSH.-1t
Ia has long been considered desideratum to
obtain mixture that will remove the tarnish
produced by the atmosphere or gaseous exhala-
tions, without affecting the metal itself. Prep
arations of this kind are generally acids, which
not only remove the stains, but attack also the
metals, thereby destroying the fine polish, and
are, therefore, highly objectionable.
Such preparation can be obtained, without
any of the objections above named, in the EU
REKA SILVER POLISH, for removing the
tarnish and stains from Silver, Brass, Copper, or
other metals, and which is warranted to contain
no acid or other substance in the slightest de-
gree injurious to the finest Siiverware. For Sale
