GREASE FOR LEATuER.-ln smcaring

the leather plant, but also at making it wa
terproof. Train oil possesses this character.
istic, that after while it dries up, and then
the leather becomes brittle. Hogs lard is
admirably adapted to secure both objects,
pliabiity and impermcability to water. 1t
renders the leather perfectly plant, aud no
water can penetrate it, 1t is especially suit,
able for greasing boots and shoes but, in the
summer season, an eight part Of tallow should
be melted with IT, 1t should be laid on when
in a melted eoadition, but no warmer than
ones fingers dipped in the mass can bear.
When it is first applied to boot or shoe, the
leather should be previously soaked in water
that it may swell up, so that the pores can
open well and thoroughly absorb the lard
The liquid lard should be smeared over the
articles to be waterprOoied at least three OIL
four times, and sole leather Oftener still
Afterwards, the lard remaining visible on the
outside, should be wiDcd off with a rag. BY
this means, you may have waterproof boot
or shoe, without the annoyance caused by
most stuffs penetrating the leather and greas
ing the stockings An occasional coating o
hogs lard also to be recommended for patent
leather boots and shoes, as it prevents thc
leather from cracking, and if it be not rub
bed in too strongly the leather will shine
just as well after'the grease has been applied

EVIDENCE of the prurient curiosity which
women OF virtue sometimes feel about the
ways OF the depraved of their own sex was Civ.
en- In Cincinnati The other day. The occasion
was the sale of the furniture Of a well-known
brothel. The house Was crowded with women
OF all social and moral grades. Well>bred
ladies Jostled keepers and inmates of estab>
ishmen,s ike that they had come TO sec, and
bid against them for whatever article took
their fancy, with no apparent sense of impro-
priety. Among the meetings recorded was
one of woman who made her way through
the crowd to her husband, and pinched his
arm, saying, " I thought l should find you
here"

BE PoLITE-It is said that Geo. McDuE
6e, of South Carolina, was very polite even
when a boy. One evening he was holding a
little calf by the ears while his mother MIXED
the COW ; and a gentleman passing by said:
"Good evening my little SON" George re-
turned; Good evening, SIR with such
polite bow, that the gentleman noticed him
and said: "Why don't you pull off your hat,
my little man." George answered: 4" If you
will get down and hold my calf for me | will
pull off my hat to you" Georges pOliteness
ami shrewd remark were the UIkinG OF him.
That gentleman said to his moth r, "Yuur
son is a smart boy, and if properly trained
will make great man some day. If you
will permit me, | will give him good educa
tion, and will give him a start in the world"
The mother thanked the gentleman for his
kindness, and let him take charge Of her son.
George rose from takng care of calf to be
a clever and successful lawyer; afterwards
he became a member of Congress, and then
was made Governor of South Carolina |
wish all my little nephcws aud cousins to be

sir" cost nothing, but are sometimes worth
a good DEAL One courteous bow was worth

to 20 to school my teacher made it rule
that every boy should make bow and every
girl courtesy as we entered the door every
morning, and do the same as We left at even
