Renefits OF AdVertising.

As a striking instance of the certain adj
vantages resulting from advertising in news
papers, we may mention the following. A
member Of family in this place lost, short
time since, miniature Portrait encased in
a locket. The loser without unnecessarily
distressing herself at the loss, more wisely
sent US an advertisement making it known
and offering a suitable reward for the reco-
very Of the article. The advertisement was
successful. Our carrier-boy had not return
ed TO the Office more than four or FIVE hours
from the distribution of the town papers last
Wednesday, when bright-eyed little Cir
who had found the miniature and ascertain

returned, appeared at our Office with tbs
lost article and the owner was soon in sat'

9fngmIar Renneafa-

The Princess Jadimerowski, who died
some time back ia Russia, has left couside-
rable legacies TO two actors, one for having
made her laugh, and the other weep. The
following words are found in her will in al
fusion to this understanding irequented
the theatre for three years, and having felt
there the only real emotion of my life, /
think myself bound 10 recompense those per-
sons who caused me so much qualification.
therefore boqueath to Karatiguin, who has
often made me shed such delicious tears,

easy, | imagine, to discover in France, as
being the person who used 10 play the Ga
min de Paris at the Theatre Michel, the sum
Of 10000 rubles, for having 80 well amused
me-" The actor Karatiguin, mentioned
above, is the TaIma of Russia, and the other
is Laferriere, of the Vaudeville. The tes-
tamentary executor, in announcing to him
this intelligence, has stated that the heirs.at-
law intend contrasting the legacy; but thar,

lousy observed in Russia than perhaps any
other country in the world, it IS to be pre-.

work. As fer the bright poker, that was a
consecrated thing. Never did Mrs. Mug
geTidge 60 10 Hackney for week to visit
her relations, that the bright poker was not
removed from the CRATE; and, carefully
swathed in oiled flannel, awaited in greasy
repose the return Of its mistress Then,
once more in glistening idleness, would ii
lounge among shovel and tongs; the jetty
slave, the black poker, working until il was
worked 10 the stump, at last to be flung aside
for vile old iron! One dozen black pokers,
did the bright poker see out; and to this
day-doing nothing-it stands lustrous and
inactive!

The Silver RmIIef,

The readers of American history will re-
collect that in the plan Of the campaign of
Burgoyne, it was intended that Sir Henry
Clinton should ascend the Hudson from
New York, and join Burgoyne at Albany
Fortunately, however, neither Of the parties
succeeded in reaching the point of junction.
Clinton, it will be remembered, commenced
his voyage up the Hudson, taking Fort
Montgomery, defended by Governor George
and General James Clinton in the High
lands, proceeded thence north Of Esopus,
which was captured aud burnt Immedi.
ateiy after the capture Of Fort Montgomery;
Sir Henry Clinton dispatched a spy as a
messenger to Burgoyne, announcing his
movement and thus far IFS success. The
spy was furnished with letter enclosed in
silver bullet-the silver being coated with
lead, and the bullet mixed with others of
real lead, which he carried with affected
carelessness in his pocket.
The spy, however, was taken in Dutch
ess county, near Red Hook, and searched.
On handling the bullets, it was discovered
that one was much lighter than the others.
"Why, this can never be bullets" exclaim
ed one of the captors, sit is too light" The
ISpy lu6ISuPoH SudtCHeo the uuIl6b HOh4 Int
hand Of the other, and instantly swallowed
it. The circumstance was reported to Gov
Clinton, who directed a surgeon TO take hin
in hand, for the purpose Of bringing the mis-
siVe to light An emetic proving made
quate to the object, a powerful catharliC
effected the purpose, and on opening the
bullet, the following letter was extracted
therefrom:-
''FoRT MoNTeoMERY, Oct 8, l777.

of his may facilitate your operations. Il

touching story Is told by Lieut. Parsons,
in his ssNels0nian "reminiscences. Richard
Bennett, when morally wounded, in one Of
Nelson's great battles, had requested that
miniature and lock of his hair should be
given by Lieut.. p, to his sweetheart, SUI
settle, in Scotland. The gallant Lieutenant
thus describes the interview
''It was at the close of the day, when
bright July sun was on the point Of setting,
that arrived At the very pretty cottage Of
Susette's mother. TREMENDOUSLY stated who
| was 10 the most respectable looking haztrOh
l ever saw, Of French extraction. Ia broken
and bitter accents OF heartfelt grief, she told
me her daughters death was daily looked
for, and requested time to prepare her to bear
an interview. At last she expressed wish
to see the friend of Richard Bennett, and
was admitted to the fairest daughter Of Eve
that ever found this world unequal to her
blossoms. She waspropped up with pillows,
near the open lattice of her bedroom, that
was clustered with roses. Her white dress
and the drapery of the room accorded with
the angelic visions who now turned her lus-
trous orbs, which were yelled in long fringed
eyelids, upon me, She held out her tran.
sparent hand, and gently pressed mihe as
kn6lt to kiss it and as she felt my tears drop
on il, softly murmured, 81 wish could cry
that would relieve my poor heart.'' She
gasped for breath and respired with difficult
liy: "The lock Of hair-quickly; while can
see it," She caught at It, wildly pressed it
to her lips, and heart, and fell back. Her
mother and thought she had tainted bul
the pure and innocent soul had returned ID
that God who gave it!''

The birds, when winter shades the sky,
Fly DER the seas away,
Where laughing eyes in sunshine lie,
And summer breezes play; -
And thus the friends that hutter near,
While Fortunes sun is warm,
Are startled il the cOulds appear,
And fly before the storm
But when from winters bowling plains,
Each other warbleT's past,
The little snow.bird still remains
And chrrups midst the blast;
Dove-like that bird, when Friendships throng
With Fortunes sun depart,
Still fingers with its cheerful song,
And nesles on the heart.

the present p.osraed condition OF the business OF The
