Our MOTHERS, who were the best and
tidest housewives in the world-excepting
our grandmothers took especial pride in
the possession of rows of tinware that glis-
tened like polished mirror Every arti-
Gle about their houses susceptible of polish
including the brass knoeker, was regularly
frightened up until it fairly glistened.
With their primitive materials, such as
Bath brick, emery, rotten stone, etc, it
was serious labor, albeit one of love.
Now a-days, however, their daughters use
Sapolio, and in one hour can polish more
articles and do it better than they could in
a whole day. If you wish to excel your
mothers in the brightness of your kitchen
ware, use Sapolio.

He Wanted to Know.

An individual writes to one of the
weekly papers for information as
follows:
Il am engaged to young lady
whom I love sincerely and who re,
turns my love. But not having been
engaged long, some of her former
gentlemen acquaintances come in
once in awhile to spend the evening
but, as a matter of course, I gen.
orally am there first. Now, should
l leave because they call, or should
[ stay? And if am to stay, how
is the young lady to get rid of them
as some of them. not knowing the
state of the case, evidently are expect
ing me to go first? Please tell me
what to do under the circumstances" :"
There are various methods by
which these persons can be scared
off. One way is to engage prize
fighter to call and buffet them upon
the nose and haul them around by
the ears. Another way is to set the
house on fire. Another is to secrete
a hungry dog in the piano, and let him
out suddenly when you want the COM
pany to move. Still better, why not
introduce a lightning-rod and scatter
them with thunderstorm, or induce
the hired girl to become insane, and
charge into the parlor with a gun!
Or, if you must drive them away,
begin to take up collection; or
threaten to sing something; or blow
out the gas and leave the stop-cock
turned ; or begin to tell about one of
your dreams or try to borrow
money of them; or read the adver-
tisements III the evening paper aloud
to them; or induce the young lady
to pretend to go asleep and to snore,
or ask her aunt to come down and
entertain them while you and your
fair one spark sweetly in the corner.
Any one OF these methods will be effec-
tive; and what surprises US is that
any man should have so little ingen-
uity as to be compelled to write to
the newspapers about it.

An exchange has this to say about
our presidents Jefferson was calm
clear, critical, comprehensive and
orderly. John Adams was emotional
in his nature, and was fiery and
forcible. James K. Polk was proud,
firm, combative, dignifed and deter
mined. Andrew Jacksen's firmness
and force Of character have become
preverbial. Madison had originality
and discrimination, but lacked firm
ness of character. Franklin Pierce
was very harmonious in his mental
rganization-welI balanced. Zach
airy Taylor was firm, hopeful, intelli-
gent, honest, positive and indepen-
dent. NIillard Fillmore is more ceur-
teous than commanding, and wins
rather than compels. William Hen
ry Harrison was kind, affectionate,
upright, prudent and circumspect.
Monroe was more remarkable for
practical talent and common sense
than for depth and brilliancy.-
Washington had strong common
sense, clear, reasoning powers,
integrity, firmess and self-esteem.
John Tyler was brilliant and of-hand
rather than deep and profound. He
was firm to obstinacy. Martin Van
Buren, was cautious, shrewd, clear
headed and reticent, and was highly
polished in manners. John Quincy

tive and thorough, and had an

Use Of n Receipt.

Kiser by name, owed him some mon

the tin. His patience at last gave
way. and he threatened the Indian
with lawsuits, processes and execu-
tions. The poor Choctaw got scared
and finally brought the money to his
creditor. He waited for the lawyer
to give him receipt.
"What are you waiting for?" said
the lawyer.
