FRANK.
ANswEa.-Master Frank had better keep his ad-
vice for his use. We want advice from him
or any other person. know my own business best.
One set OF readers after the Herald for class
Of arcles-another for another Frank is too great
blockhead to know, that for reader that takes
the Herald for one particular class Of articles, there
are thousands who take it for its general and everast
ing variety. 1t requires as much talent and is
great an exhibition of genius 70 write light airy arli
cles, as to write grave, scientific, or commercial re-
ports. There are great many unadulterated charla
lans in the world like Frank-men of one idea
one view-of one thought-who incapable of
seeing any merit or talent, except in particular line
In every species Of compassionate every department
of life, the Herald exhibits the force genius tai
ent, and independence This very fact causes the
singular contrarety Of opinion its merits, and the
general excitement. beautiful description Of ball
is just as much work of genius good Wall
street report The ladies admire the rst-the men of
business the latter. Some like short paragraphs
some detest thcm-some want one thing, some
another To all these various critics and officious
persons, say, "mind your own business. want
no advice-l know my own profession, and no man
can change myprinciples of action. Planting myself
on pure private character-on unspotted morals
the highest principles of science and philosophy,
will carry every thing before me, because the public
mind is always right when rightly walked up"
We therefore, return Master Frank his advice to be
used by himself-it is not negotiable in this quarter.
SALE AT THE Jo.EpHs-Yesterday sale of the
furn ture plate glass, &c., ofthe Messrs. Joseph took
place at 10 o'clock, at their residence, st. Marks
Place. II was extremely fashionably if not, speak
ing in the language of the auctionroom, well attend
ed. We counted over one hundred private carriages,
besides cabnoets &C.. assembled; in fact, the APP
pearance of things before the sale commenced bore
much greater simiude to a company collecting at
dejeuner Ia fourchehe, than to that of crowd of
barganers eager obtain article something under
its original value
The house is small, andby no means extravagantly
,aclbfe and if may Judge from the furniture that
remained for with the exception Of the lower rooms,
the house was destitute, with the exception Of car
pets and one or Two trihing articles, of any symp-
TENS Of elegance or even Of comfort-ts proprletors
did not owe their msfortunes any extravaganza in
housekeeping
The salon and the sale d manger were tastefuly
and superbly fitted up and It was on the furniture of
these rooms that the greatest sacrifice ofproperty was
made In the salon a set Of chairs rosewood, lnlad
with satin wood with embroidered damask bottoms,
whose original cost could not have been less than $50
a piec,, were sold for S2S each. set Of ottomans
and sofas to match were knocked down at as consid-
cradle sacrifice. A table, also, whose cost was
$3.50, was sold for size.
The plate, Of which there no great display,
fetched its full value 1t consisted chiefly of Sheffield
articles. OF silver there nothing of consequence
disposed of. The glass, Also was nowisc extraord-
nary. Ii realized its full worth. A goody number
of the tribes of "Levi Benjamin and Manassah,"
were also in attendance and they made considerable
purchases.
few of the "dependers on the public" also
deavored to effect entrance, but the eyes Of the
yigant officer at the door Disconnected their attempts
at ingress One fellow, however, slipped by, but the
word being passed, he was ferretted out by Mr. JUS
tce Bloodqood, and politely shown the nearest way
to the open country-hat is elected without ceremo-
nv into the street. Nothing excepting this little incl
dent in any way dscomposed the manner, for in high
life every thing is hammered, Of the assembly.
As if to compensate for the want of bargains, the
grand desiderata Of lady -shopPers-hcrew were not
few aristocratic and gentlemanly looking young
men assembled and fairer show Of female beauty
and fashion, we have rarely had the felicity eaoy

man-an indefnable sensation of pleasure arising
from being contiguous TO her person-,hat more than
compcnsaies for the pressure and fatigue Of large
crowd especially when that crowd is rather prorns-
cuous and intent upon It's own personal advantage
to have an over respect for the comfort Of others.
The observer may in such assembages this
clearly distinguish castles, even more thanin the
drawing room or the saloon. The high born, well
bred and richly dressed lady was here to be seen
