Lasgful Reuenge. Many years since, n
gentleman Of Newington, parish Of Weth-
ersfeld, Conn.,. who was very religious and
conscientious man, married one of the most
ill-natured and troublesome women that
could be found in the vicinity. This occa-
stoned a universal surprise wherever he was
known and one of his neighbors ventured
to ask him the reasons which governed his
choice. He replied, that having had but lit
tie trouble in the world, he was fearful ofbe-
coming too much attached to things of sense
and he thought by experiencing some Attic
tons. he should become more weaned tftm.
the world, and that he married sucha women
as he thought would accomplish this object.
The best part of the story is that the wife,
hearing the reasons why he married her, wrs
offended. and, out Of Teuenge. became one Gff
the most pleasant and dutifnl wives in the
town declaring that she was not going to be,
made a pack-horseso carry her husband to-
heaven.

this zeal-itis what they believe to be high
and laudable veneration for superior talents
and exalted worth. But we deprecate its
rashness and would be glad to abate por-
ton of its impetuous and irrepressible fury.
The Incorporate zeal ofthe friends of one,
not only induces an extrayagant and idola-
trous feeling of generation for their favorite
candidate, but occasionally goes so far as to
break forth in the most yirulent and passion
ute consciousness against the character Of
the other. The friends of the other, though
ostensibly ofthe same party, are not less en-
thusiastic In their preference, nor less vitHpe-
rative in their remarks upon the rival Of
their candidate. Now the friends of both
claim to be ofthe same political faith. They
profess unanimity of opinion ON all the great
and important questions which separate the
two conflicting political parties. They a.
gree on the question of the importance Of
putting an end as early as possible. to the
present corrupt Administration; and they a
gree also in the belief, that if all the opposi-,
ton to that Administration could be CONSOLE
dated and preserved undivided. the prospect
tor Wing victory at the approaching presi-
dental contest is apparently certain. and that
without great unanimity Of sentiment and
action in the Wing party, its success is
worse than questionable. We appeal, then,

to fear from disunion in the ranks Of the

Philosophy of Adrertising.-A late
number OF Chambers Edinburgh Journal
contains very interesting article on the
utject Of advertising in the public papers,
by an Old Tradesman." His ideas on
the subject are certainly worthy the a''en'
ton of all who are anxious for business,
and are simply and briefly as follows
"The first utility of frequent and regular
advertising is this: there is, at all times
a large class of persons, both in The coun'
try and town, who have no fixed place lOf
the purchase Of certain necessary articles
and are ready to be swayed and drawn
towards any particular place which Is
earnestly brought under their notice. H.
different to oil, they WELD without hes''a'
ton 10 all who ask. Then, in the country
a considerable number Of persons, VINO
wish u supply of them, naturally open
communication with that address, WHICH,
perhaps, leads to much ulterior business
