nature was in her death throcs-ior havoc aud

Yet, it might be, on that very gala day of Tanner

This morning We found in our box at tho post.
Office letter. postmarked New York City, for
which we were required to pay % cents Upon
opening il we found it TO contain 10, Of the most
exuayagant puils Of tho humbug publications of
Mr.. ROBERT SEARS, of New York, who had
adopted this swinding plan of circulating his ad-
vertisemonts. 1t also contained an article from
the Providence Chronicle, headed Effects of Per.
severance" telling how this Mr.. Sears, from n
poor journcyman printer, had risen to be an ex-
.ensivc publisher Now, all we have to say is
that, if Mr.. Sears has half as much perseverance
az he has impudeace, he canno, well help but
male money.
This is nc, the first time we have been swindled
by publishers in the eaecn cities. Some six
months ago we inserted the prospectus Of Mcssrs.
Tuppcn " Dennet, Boston, for publishing Sparks
Life Of Washington, and as pay for our trouble
were promised copy Of the work; no copy has
however as ye, been received. We also, about
the same time, inserted the advertisement Of the
publisher Of the New York Wa,chmen, Of Urc's
Dictionary, and, although the Waterman is re-
lgioas paper, 1t publisher has not hesilaled also
to eheaf us out of our pay. And, lastly, we were
guilty Of publishing Robert Z. Morris prospectus
for the New York Mirror and were a third time
beautifully done broom. This, with slight exccp.
iIon, Is The extent Of our advertising for eastern
publishers, and It viii remain so, unless we re.
ceiye fair pay, aud in advance, We have with
number Of our good naiurcd country cotemporu-
ries, perhaps contributed towards cnrichng few
eastern scamps; but hereafter we shall be more
chary of our libcraIiy aud endeavor to bcslow it
on objects moro deserving.
