TWENTY YEARS AGO.
How wondrous are tbe changes. Jim,
Since twenty yearn ago,
Wbeu gala wurr woolen dreaaea, J.ui,
And boya wore panta of tow ;
When oboe* were made of calf-akin.
And aocka of homespun wool.
And children did a half-day'a work
Before the hoar of acbool.
Tbe girl, took music lessons, Jim,
I'pon the spinning wheel,
And practiced late and early. Jim,
On tbe apindlc, awift and reel :
Tbe boya would ride l>are-l>ack to mill,
A dozen miles or ao,
And httrry off liefore 'tm as day.
Home twenty yearn ago.
The jieople rode to meeting Jim,
In aleda instead of aleigha;
And wagons rode aa eaay, Jim,
Aa buggies now-a-daya ;
And oxen answered well for teams.
Though now they'd be too alow.
For people lived not half ao fast.
Home twenty yearn ago.
O, well do I remember, Jim,
That Wilson a patent afore,
That father bought and paid for, Jim.
In cloth onr gala had wove ;
And bow the neighbors wondered, Jita,
When we got the thing to go '.
They said 'twonld hurat and kill u* all,
Some twenty yeara ago.
Yes, everything in different, Jim,
From wbat it naod to was,
For men are alwaya tampering, Jiui,
With God's great natural lawa;
lint what on earth we're coming to—
Boca anybody know ?
For everything has changed ho much,
Binoe twenty years ago.

Chemical Paints, so called. have proven failures : simply Imcause tbs chemistry at
their manufacture seems to consist in the quantity of wster that is combined with the
paint, by the addition of an Alkali, either Potaeh, Lime nr Soda, de.,
Chemical Paints containing water peel, from the wood, are not economical,
bee«n*e they will not cover as much surface as Pare Paint*.
Chemical Paints w eigh from Mto 10 lbs. per gal. thin indicates only a email quan
tity of point to the gallon. Aa fAnarrd Oil wei<;h* 74 Ilia, and Water 8 Ilia, per gallon.
Sitin’. Lime Wilier, or any Alkali mixed with oil is the same nature aa Soft Soap, which
with the addition of White lead und water could be termed a Chemical Paint.
Pure Paints weigh 18 to It lbs. per gallon, are Economical, and whan properly
made, are the most durable.
We offer our Pskpirko Paikt with tbe guarantee fiat it is not a Chsmieal Faint:
contains no Water, no Alkali, no adulteration, aud is made of only snch materials aa ars
used by tbe ohlest painters. Onr Paint will cover more snrface than any Chemical Paint
in the World.
We authorise their sale, subject to the satisfaction of all buyers. We agree to re
paint any house with English HU White Lead, or any other White Lead, it our Paints do
not prove perfectly satisfactory.
