Rhyming Table of Presidents.

I noticed, a week or tVo ago, an inquiry concerning a rhyming list of the Presidents of the United States. I had a recollection of having clipped several such lists from papers, and looked them up. The tersest, and therefore the easiest and most useful, for memorizing is the inclosed: The American Presidential line Began in seventeen eighty-nine. By Washington was tlie list, began, Who ruled two terms, then Adams one; Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Sat tor two t rms each; and so John Quincy Adams came for one, While Jackson through two terms did run; Harrison tied and left four years For Tyler; one term Polk appears; When Taylor d ed and left three years For Fillmore: one term next for Pierce And for Buchanan; Lincoln then Was shot as his second term began. And Johnson sat until came Grant For two terms; Hayes for one; and scant Four months for Garfield, who was killed, And Arthur the vacant office filled. —New York Mail.
