LAW OF ADVERTISING.

A decision has recently beea ma /, in
England, which we doubt not would be
followed in a similar case in this conn
try-irom this is apparent the necess ity
that advertisers should accompany t,ci.
communications with explicit directions.
the case is as follows
Court Of Rcqaesis-O Coane7 Us Stokes.
This was an action brought by the
plaintiff, newspaper propr etor, against
the defendant who had occasion to adj
verlse in his papcr) TO recover the a.
noun Of an ADVERT ement which had
bee, inserted forty five times, on the
ground that the advertisement had been
intended for one insertion only. The
manuscript order was produced, and ep-
peared indefinite. The case had been
some time under the consideration of his
Honor; who in his anxiety that strict JUS
lice should be done Between proprietors
OF newspapers and the public, had taken
the opinion oftwo Of the Judges on the
subject, and agreed with them in deciding
that newspaper proprietors were justified
IN continuing the insertion OF advertise
ments, not ordered for any specific num-
Der of times, until the same were ordered
to be drawn. His honor said, it was de-
sirahlc that The public should be made &C
qualntcd with this decision, in order that
the persons having occasion to advertise
may be aware of the necessity of stating
on their orders the number of insertions
they may reqnre-i' they neglect to do
so, 1t was unreasonable to expect news
paper PROJECTORS TO attend to that which
was clearly the advertisers own bust
n ess.
A verdict was then rendered for the
plaintiff.

OCTOBER.

October has come, the sweetest, sad
dest month of all the year. Its sunsets
and its gorgeous forest, how beautiful, and
brief as their gorgeous dyes.
There is pensive beauty in October
days; Autumn is now clothed in her love-
liest drapery; the forest leaves are not yet
dry and crisp; Nature has not yet put on
her lrigld aspect, but the signing of the
breeze and the falling leaf, are Natures
knell for her fallen glories; soon all these
beautiful things will have lost their beau
ty, all these bright things their bright
ness. These changeful, though lovely
sceneries, lend touching interest to Au-
tnmn days. Go into the thick deep wood
listen to the hushed, deep murmur ofthe
evening breeze, as it gently undulates the
glorious and richly coIored loliaga; look
away into yonder vaul, of Heaven, in this
sunset hour; how the resplendent hues
Of topaz, and amethyst, and gold, be auti-
full blend with each other, and stream in
living tii sf1gh light across the ether sky. 1t is
the very gate of Heaven-and that star
seems to be a eacon-light, hung out from
his golden portals to guide us, erring
wanderers, home. We can also hear their
blest voices, as they mingle around the
throne of the Most High. Whose soul
will not kindle within him, and whose
spirit will not thrill with ecstasy on cor
templating scene, like these?-Who does
not feel that he is holding converse with
pure beings-that he is.
"Just on the boundary of the spirit land,
Close to the realm where angels have their
birth:'
How eloquent is nature!- who is not
purer and better when he listens to her
voice? How impressively does God
speak TO us, at this sweet, sad season.
How lie lets his goodness and his glory
pass before us. lie makes all nature
beautiful, and gives us faculties to enjoy
its beauties. Sweet flowers, We too, in
your ever varying hues and delicious o.
doris, whisper the name of your Creator.
Ye wear the richest dyes, and send forth
the sweetest fragrance, as you are about
to fade and die. Apt emb!ems of life
The autumn of our days is coming, but
if we are ready, like The glorious forests
and beautiful flowers, we may wrap our
garments about us, and wait in holy peace,
till we are called to bloom in ''beauty I'M
mortal," in the gardens of God

THE MONUMENT on Bin ,eerr==iiiill has
become an imposing object. 1t has risen
TO the height of one hundred and sixty-fve
feet, and may be seen from various points
at the distance of many miles. To a
spectator in its immediate vicinity, the eff
feet of this simple unembellished column
of granite is sensation Of sublimity.
From the top. the view is inexpressbly
grand and beautiful; while few persons
can stanI near its base and look at the top
without feeling of awe and veneralion.
The work, we believe, is now suspended
for the season, to be renewed again in the
spring, and prosecuted with vigor to its
completion. The builder, Mr.. Savage is
by contract, allowed till October 1913, to
complete it, but, from the rapidity, with
which he wrought the present season, we
have no donbt he will be able to accom-
plish his labor in the course of the next
summer. Twenty or lwenty-ono courses
OF stone only are yet to be laid.
