ADvERT1sING.--The advantages of ad-
vertising are not fully appreciated by
men who have just entered into business
for themselves. If they are anxious to
become known, receive patronage, and
acquire property, they must advertise
freely in some paper that has large cir
culation. We know ofno better medium
than the penny sheets; for they are dis
tr:buted in manner calculated to place
them in the hands Of all. 1t is the
only proper mode to be pursued, aud is a
sure guarantee of success Lord Brough.

a lone time past very strict surveillance

which be had laid out in purchasing dia-

with scrupulous honesty, he declined ia
king away these diamonds, that had been,
after all, purchased with the public no

Queen Hortense, the conscientious klng
persisted in leaving the diamonds behind
him at the Hague. At a later period, the
ex King still declined TO solicit any com

had become the property of that monarch

Chaunt over the word, "depost." "
Dim is the light in the corniced room,
Where DIRECTORS often sat,
And naught enlivens the midday gloom,
But the sports Of the owl and bat.
The ample throne, with its tinselTy,
or the fallen, would-be king,
Is the scene of the spiders tytanny,
And the home Of the creeping thing.
Yet who can gaze on the hydra's form,
When the quick'ning spark mas fled,
And feel that the spirit of the storm
Is slumbering with the dead.
The angry glare aud dofying scowl,
Lived on the latest breath,
And ayaTice sped in tho parting bowl,
or the monster, strong in death.

TURKISH WIVES.

There is a general idea prevalent in
this country, that the Turks have plu-
ralty of wives, but such custom has no
existence in reality. 1t is true that the
Koran allows the Sultan 7 wives, and
every other Mussuman four; but there is
a few instances in Turkey at the present
day, of Turks having more than one wife;
and | was assured by hey, that, with the
exception of three or four of the wealth.
est pachas, there we're not five Turks IN
Constantinople who had more than one
wife. On one occasion asked an old
effend how many wives he had, He re-
piled, "One is all can afford" | said it
would be almost as cheap to keep four in
house as one, and his answer was,
" Probably four English wives might live
peaceably in one house, but Turkish
wives must have separate houses; and a
man must have as many establishments
as he has wives, for if they were to live
in the same house they would scratch
one another's eyes out" l was, howev.
