ADVERTISING.

/ We have word to say in behalf Of
this TOO much neglected custom. Doubt.
less our appeal viii lose much of its
force because we speak from interest.
ed motives. So we do: but others are
lequally, almost, interested. What

greater notoricty of his stand and oc.
Icupation, and a'direction of the public
eye towards his establishment.
Our merchants are now beginning
to receive their large and handsome
fall supply of Goods-our mechanics
have their shops full of the usefulworks
of their skill and labor, and every thing
is ready for the transaction of business.
1t is important that town and country
should know this; that each man should
spread before the public the induce.
ments to visit his town and store-state
what he has to sell and how advanta.
geously people may deal with him.
How can this be accomplished so well,
as by telling it on this 'sfoio of four
pages"-which finds its way to the
poor mans cottage as well as the rich
farmers mansion;-which will be seen
on the merchants desk and at the me.
CHANCES work bench-at the tavern as
well as at the domestic Preside?
We repeat that every man who add
vertises will find positive advantage
to arise from it, and the town itself, as
a whole, will be benefited. Let the
enquiry be made in those cities where
not to advertise would be not to do bu.
siness, and the answer will readily be
given
And five could induce those to whom
we particularly address ourselves to
consult their own interests in this mat
ter, and thus further our interest, what
after all, in the end, will it amount to!
Only this: We should be enabled more
readily TO encourage those whom we
employ; to tighten, some little, the
burthen under which every newspaper
editor labours; to beaulify, or perhaps
enlarge, our sheet; to find out some
way of paying amply for what we
might receive. If there can be the
least objection to this, why all we have
to add, is, that people must be exceed
ngly hard to please.-Aler. Ga=.

ST. Johns Wort.-A correspondent
of the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, who
writes from Brldgeton, N. j., under
date of the Sd inst, says
al left Camden a few days since,
where had had my horse at livery,
and had proceeded so far as the first
watering place, when made a disco.
very that startled me. My horses
favorite, noble fellow--presented an
appearance about the head that strong.
ly reminded me of the bloody knobs oil
the pugilists who beat each others
heads into jelly as matter Of science.
His face was apparently bruised shock
ingly, the skin all off, and as red as a
boiled lobster. My excessive agitation
and alarm was somewhat moderated
when able to understand the matter. 1t
appears he must have been eating new
hay, in which was mixed some leaves
of that vile plant known as st. Johns
Wort, and wherever that comes in con.
tact with the white hair and skin of q
horse, it operates as poison, making
it as raw as would aqua forts, while
that portion OF the hair and skin which
partakes of any other color than white
is entirely exempt.
OF this strange fact | had often heard,
but never before saw it manifested. 1t
was an offensive sight to the merciful
master of the noble animal, to see him
throwing his head up, with his honest
face like raw beef-steak, broillng o.
yer hot Jersey sand and beneath a
scorching sun, it was TO much. II
would be some consolation to witness a
change of color, and this was imme-
diately effected by thorough basting
with sturgeon oil and gunpowder, said
to be a sovereign remedy; a fact

who may happen to have their horses
stripped of that necessary articles

Sleep.-The Medical Intelligencer
objects to the additional nap which peo-
pie are apt to take after their fist wax
ing in the morning! Just as if the
moment a man awakens, he must jump
out of bed, huddle on his clothes, dis
turb all the flies, and be cursed by the
cook for making fuss about his break.
fast! No, no-the early matin dream,
after the dull repose of the night, is
delightful. Any body can sleep at
night, but man must have a clear
conscience to be able to sleep in the
morning. The morning nap is the
principal thing that distinguishes man
from the brute. Nor is there any sloth
in it: he who goes to bed at IL and gets
up at 7, is just as industrious as he
who goes to bed at 9 and gets up at A.
