The following items of advice to ladies re-
manning in a state of single blessedness, are
extracted from the manuscript of an old
dowager:
If you have blue eyes, languish.
If black eyes. affect spirit.
If you have pretty feet, wear short petit
coats.
If you are the least doubtful as to that
point, wear them long.
If you have good teeth, don't forget to
laugh, now and then.
If you have bad ones, you must only sim
per.
While you are young sit with your face to
the light
When you are little advanced, sit with
your back to the window.
If you have bad voice, always speak in
low tone.
If it is acknowledged that you have fine
voice, never speak in a high tone.
If you dance well, dance seldom.
If you dance i'll, never dance at all.
If you sing well. make no puerile excuses.
If you sing indiferently, hesitate not
moment when you are asked, for few persons
are competent judges of singing. but every
one is sensible of a desire to please
If in conversation you think person
wrong, rather hint difference of opinion,
than offer a contradiction.
1t is always in your power to make friend
by smiles: what folly to make enemies by
| frOwns.
When you have an opportunity 10 praise,
do It with all your heart.
When you are forced to blame do it with
reluctance.
Ifyou are envious of another woman, never
show II but by allowing her every good quail
ity and perfection exceh those which she
really possesses.
If yo9 wish to let the world know you are
in love with particular man. treat him with
Eormality. and every one else with ease and
| freedom.
If you are disposed to be pettish or inso-
lezt, it is better to exercise your ill-hvmor on
yO1r dog, or your cat, or your servant, than
on your friend.
IL you would preserve beauty, rise early.
IL you wO0ld preserve esteem, be gentle.
Ifg0u would obtain power, be condescend-
ing.
If yea would be happy, endeavor to pro-
mote the happiness Of Others.

ALL FOR GRANT.


From town and country, land and sea,
Ringsters Of high and low degree
Are Fastening banded to the fray,
Like hungry fiocks Of birds OF prey
Each harpy, hawk, and cormOrant
Now shouts for Grant.
The throngs OF banished whisky kings
Rise up among the other Rings,
And In the nations face once more,
AS insolently as before,
Their stolen splendor proudly Haunt,
And shout for Grant.
Once more the men who settled down
Beneath the peoples angry frown,
Arise, in spite Of their disgrace,
To push their claims to power and place,
Fearless of public scorn or taunt,
And shout for Grant.
Corruption's cavalry make haste
To mount and lay the country waste;
A heavy infantry reserve
But waits the chance to show its nerve.
And never is Their powder scant,
To fire for Grant.
All who believe a soldiers name
May cover countless deeds of shame,
And that all public trusts are made
To be by sOrdid men betrayed,
While honesty is naught but can't
All shout for Grant.

81 Acknowledge the Corn"

This is the origin of the phrase II acknow-
ledge the corn" In 1928 Andrew Stewart,
a member of Congress, said in a speech that
Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana sent their hay
stacks. cornfelds and fodder to New York
and Philadelphia for sale. Wicklife, of
Kentucky, called him to order, declaring that
those States did not send haystscks or corn
fields to New York for sale. "Well, what do
you send?" asked Stewart. "Why, horses,
mules, cattle, and hogs" swell, what makes
your horses, mules, cattle, and hogs? You
feed 500 worth of hay to a horse. You just
animate and get upon the top Of your lay
tack and ride off to market. How is it with
your cattle? You make one of them carry
$50 worth of hay and grass tolthe Eastern
market How much corn does it take, at
80 cents bushel, to fatten hog2" "Why,
80 bushels" "Then you put that 80 bushels
into the shape of hog, and make it walk
