We perceive that one of the French
presses has endeavored to prove that
the vast wealth of England is to be at
tributed to the system Of advertising
pursued in that country. However
unwilling we might be to go all Lengths
with this enthusiastic advocate of the
press, we can entertain on doubt that
one of the readiest ways to effect sales
and consequently to make profits, is to
announce in the journals Of the day the
fact that the advertiser has certain COM
modities for sale. Itmay be presumed,
it is true, that merchant in any Ee-
culiar line of business has the commodi-
ties belonging to his particular depart
ment to dispose of, but as the same
thing is presumable. in relation to all
in the same line Of business, without
an advertisement there's nothing special
to direct the attention of buyers to any
particular individual. A grocer, FORM
stance, is supposed to keep on hand ev-
cry description of groceries, but it will
not be denied that to be told that parti-
cular dealer in suchmerchandies has lust
received lot Of fine teas or some ex-
cellent sugar or first rate wines, will
induce persons who may never have
thought Of making purchase expect
when their absolute wants lmpel them
to do so, to visit him and examine his
new stock. The same thing may be
said in regard to dry goods and all
other kinds Of merchandise. AS for
tho cost of advertising it is mere tri-
file, compared with the good it does.
An advertisement is like movable
sign that is carried from door to door
and from parlour to parlour, and seeks
the purchaser, instead of being sought
by him.

observe the disgrace into which one
of the noblest Of our Anglo Saxon
words are falling. Woman.-to our
shame be it spoken-is giving place to
l1dy on the one hand-and female on
the other. Mrs. Fanny Butler most
justly ridicules the New Yorker who
addresses her as female. We read in
our religious papers Of a certain mum.

the other hand, all are so ambitious to
be ladies, that none are willing to be
women,-women's shoes will soon be
unknown, while the sslady who is be.
