 Erskine's weli-known habitof talk;no of himself, often brought the fest of ths. table against him.

 .4dverfisiag Uiues. s.-This is n custom which would be ssmore honored in thc breach than in the observance. ltsi. too prevalent among our periodicals. and we think it disgrace 10 the Amer- ican Press. Under this impression we propose to our contemporaries that tt,cv esctrdc from t.leis papers ali snct,snesz vcftlsements. We shall do so--ald f;,r the following reasons:
 A man comes into q printing office. and gives all e1partc statement al nj. wife, and begs that she he advertised. Now this simple fact alone, is oi itseif. amply sufficient 10 convince Us of fhc injustice of acced;ag 10 his requcsl.- The wife is not present to coulterac1 hv her testimony, the testimony Of her hua band and we have no right to place ,nv confidence in what he says, until he makes good his charges by uref1aaabIe proof This is such pl!l and con,- mon rule of justice, that it must be ad. mtted by every man who is not desfi- tutc of reflection. There is also q nal pable violation of the common decencie. of life, m lifting up the curtain, ol do. mestic privacy for the gaze of vulgar ob. servaton-and this lb man should do who values his own reputation, or pro- perly appropriates the feelings of socie- ty. Besides all this, we really think that Tn ninety-nine cases out of hundred. the violation of the matrimonial vows are altogether attributable fo inc mic nomered Lords of Creotion.' A good and affectionate husband will make ina partner of his bosom good and affcc- tionate wife. This is fact which ie we'll known to all, who are acquainted with the deyotedness of womal.'s love. and is another and conclusive proof that those advertising gentry are generally the authors of disgrace.- Macon s4dv.
 Syntnae's Ghost.-The doctrine Of John Gloves SJmme's that tho earth is hollow, is not exploded. The Ports mouth Journal states that 1t vet livea and improves, in the essays of :, corres- pendent of the Gardiner fJ4c.i Inteiji- gencer. According 10 the improved theory, the interior is not only llabitable. but inhabited--and then as the Polar Ice and white Bears make tic entrance somewhat hazardous, he has recourse 10 a miracle in order to get tic tit peopir in. and another to get them out.--Bollimoyc G0zette.
 @This discovery [adds the Journallis is happy, on more than one account: for while it disposes of the eartb's cen- tre in most pleasant manner, if brings to light the long lost {.
