We don't know how Plato got out of it, and don't,carei tis•this' has but little to do with the matter in hand. Though an animal, a man does not like to be called a beast ;- .yet there are -ma ny'linoWn " bulls" and " bears". that accept these appellations as rightly bestowed and properly belonging to them, though , individually another t sense, they ry n,u1.4 qbjegt, to ~ t eingcalled• hears. There re many wh like to be known as "lion," and even. tiger would be considered - more complimen tary than calf. litany a young fellow would like to be regarded as a " and you may Call a mart "dearTellow," but don't think of calling him a moose. To be called aj" duck of man" would, please many an individual who would take, it to heart if-called a* goose, inde pendent of the misnomer. Call a man a " pulpy," and he'lll'esent It ; but call hint a "sly dog," and you'll rather please him. bon't call a man a hog, even if he is a bore, nor an elephant, if he happens to be a " heavy, weight ;" but you may call him n " fox"' or a " coon" with - impunity - , A man doesn't like to be called a shark, but you may call hima "queenfish" with out offense. Never call a cross-eyed man lynx-eyed—he'll think you are " sarkastie." Call _aman a jackass,' andhe'll " talk back ';" but you may call him an "old rat," aid it is ten to one he'll ask you to " take suthin." A man who wouldn't feel complimented at being called a cormorant, would smile at being called a "night •owl." Don't offelid by calling aman a gosling, but you may call him a " gay rooster" without offense. Don't call 'a - map a fool ; call hint a clever fellow, which amounts to the same. , • EXCELLENT IVHITEWASH.,—As 'tile house cleaning time being how hero, it away not be amiss to say a few words in regard to whitewashing.. "!I'llere 'arc, many iecipt§ published, but We I:)eliive" the following to be the best; idiot can he : White chalk is the best. substitute for lime as a wash. A very line and brilliant whitewash preparation of chalk is called " Pitris White." ' , This' we h(ty at the paint stores for three centg-a pound, retail. For each sixteen pounds of Paris White we,proeure, hull' a pound of .the White transparent gine; costing twenty-live,cerits (tlfty - cetifs a pound.) The sixteen pomids of Paris White is about as nitich,as a person will use in a day. It is prepared as follows The glue is covered with W ater At nigikt.,, and in the morning is'earefully bealcd, without scorching, un till dissolved.— The Paris White is stirredn with hot i s water enongli to give it) the proper .milky consistency forupg•ing to ' the walls, anti the dissolved vg Pilo ,IS then added and thoroughly* mixed.' It is then applied with a brush like the com mon whitewash. Except on very dadc and smoky Ails and ceilings, a single coat is sufficient. It is nearly equal in brilliancy to "zinc white," a far wore expensive article. INTERESTING, FACTS.---A legal stone is bilbs. in 'England, and .101hs. in Hol land.

In the shop windows-of one of our shops there was posted, pot many years since, this placard : "No reasonable offer refused."' IL chanced' that a very pretty maiden was clerk in the estab lishment. A youth just in the tender peach bloom' period, being somewhat enamored of the fair lady, noticed the placard as he passed by,— and at once rushed into the store, when the follow ing conversation ensued : ' [Youth to the fair]—"l noticed your placard' in the window and thought I'd come in." " Yes " said the lady, "glad to see you; let me sell yoti some goods."— " Well," said the youth, " I would like to buy some dry goods, but I want a pretty little face in.'em, I thought as you refused no reasona6 , le offer, I would take the . best dress " pattern you have and als yourself. Very well," said the fair clerk, "I must stick to the text. Pay for the dress and 1 1 will throw my self into It, in the bargain." There was soon after a wedding,and the sign, "No reasonable offer refgeed," became t quite popular among t -e lady clerks of the city. . An Indian came to a certain agent in the Northern part of Iowa; to . procure some whisky for a young warrior who had been bitten by a rattlesnake. At first the agent did not credit the story, but the earnestness of the Indian and the urgency of the ease overcame his scruples. Ho asked the Indian " how much he wanted ?" "Four quarts,” answered the Indian. " Four quarts!" \ repeated the agent, "as much as that?" Yes," replied the 'lndian, frowning as savagely as though - a - Bout to wage a war of extermination on. the whole `snake tribe, "four quarts—snake very big !"

Soon after the poor wife came in much excited and said : "My dear Kartfalatt, I took the eggs frotn `Browne,' and she has g,orie and set onto an old meat axe." "Letther set," said the bilious old Fellow, "it she sets on an ale may be , she'll.hataget !"
