NEWSPAPER ENTERPRisE. the openirG
OF Congress, We have given our readers and the
public, some specimens of enterprise in the news
| paper businesses. In the Presidents message we
beat Cave johnson nearly six hours, having pub
lished very full synopsis of that document
long time before II was received here by his ex-
press. In the publication of the important docu-
ments which accompanied the message, we have,
almost every morning, distanced every journal IN
the city, one day, and some, two and three. The
admirable REPORT OF the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry-of the Postmaster General, and the other re-
ports, were all published in our columns, with
one or two exceptions, one day, and in some
| cases two days, ahead of every other paper We
also gave exclusively most admirable report of
the famous sermon preached by Bishop Hughes,
on Sunday last, in Washington, one of the best
which ever came from the lips of that ambitious
prelate-that Cardinal Woolsey of the Irish de-
mocracy. Throughout the whole of the present
session Of Congress we shall continue to give
full reports Of every thing taking place there, and
OF every thing bearing on the Presidential cleo.
ton, probably fuller than any other journal in
the country. Our arrangements, both intellectual
and mechanical, are more complete than those
of any other paper in the country. There is no
Necessity lot US 10 say more Inc people can
Judge as well as we can. Then, az to our circu-
lation. Until we get our new machinery. we
cannot take any more subscriptions, or increase
our circulation; with our present means we
print as many we possibly can, and as it is, we
circulate more than any Other paper in this
country, among the intellectual and business
classes Of society. Some cheap journals may
circulate more, in particular wards, or in little
spots of ground but there is no journal which
has a comprehensive and general circulation in
New York and IN the United States, at all to be
compared to that Of the Herald. Some persons
ask why we don't advertise more for the mer-
chants Z We beg leave to state that we can't ad-
vertise, as it is, all that is offered to us-we have
as much, and more, TO do in that line, than we
can accomplish, and we have to resort to every
means of condensation to give US facilities. Az
to merchants and their advertsements,w we would
rather not have them-we place them in the
same category as government advertisements
they are not worth publishing, for they don't pay
enough. If we were willing, during the past
year, to publish all the shipping and commercial
advertisements that were offered to us, we could
have filled double sheet, but they are not worth
the trouble.

II is curious TO observe how mans
spiritual state reflects itself in the people
and animals around him; nay, In the We
nv garments, trees and slones. -
Reuben Black was an infrstaiion in the
neighborllood where he resided. The
very sight Of him produced effects similar
10 the Hindoo magical tune, called Raug,
which is said 10 bring on clouds, storms
and earthquakes. His wife seemed lean.
sharp and uncomfortable. The heads Of
his boys had bristling aspect, as if each
individual hair stood on end with perpet-
nal fear. The cows poked on, their horns
horizontally, as soon as he opened the
barnyard gate. The dog dropped his tail
between his legs, aud eyed him askance,
to see what humor he was in. The ca,
looked wild and scraggy, and had been
known to rush straight up the chimney
when he moved toward her. Fanny Kem-
ble's expressive description Of the Penn.
sylvania age.horse was exactly suited 10
Reuben's poor old nag. His hide re-
sembled an old hair-trunk." Continual
whipping and kicking had made him such
stole, that no amount Of blows could
quicken his pace, and no chirruping could
change The detected dropping Of his head.
All his natural language said, as plain as
horse could say it, that he was most
unhappy beast. Even the trees on Reu.
ben's premises had gnarled and knoited
appearance. The bark wept little sickly
tears Of gum, and the branches grew a.
wry. as if they Eel, the continual discord,
and made sorry faces al each other behind
their owners back. His fields were red
with sorrel, or run over with mullein.--
Everything seemed as hard and arid as
his own visage. Every day, he cursed
the town and the neighborhood. because
they poisoned his dogs, and stoned hi:
hens, and shot his cats. Continual law
suits involved him in so much expense
that he had neither time nor money Il
spend on the improvement, Of his farm.
Against Joe Smith, poor laborer il
the neighborhood, he had brought three
suits in succession. Joe said he had re
turned spade he borrowed. and Reuber
swore he had not. lie sued Joe, and re
covered damages. for which he ORDERED
the sheriff To seize his pig. Joe, in hi
wrath, called him an old swindler. and
curse to the neighborhood. These re
marks were soon repeated TO Reuben
He brough. an action for libel, and recov
ered.twenty.ive cents. Provoked at tn
laugh this occasioned. he watched for Jo
to pass by, and SCI his big dog upon him

rit is more contagious than the plague

BI.E-Let no one suppose HAT the Brand
re tbs Pills are not always thepsane. They
are. They can never be Otherwise. The
prtne les upon which they are made are
so unerring, that million pounds could
be made per day without the most remote
poss ibiity of mistake occurring. Get
lie genuine, that is all and the medicine
will give you full satisfaction.
WHEN THE BLOOD is AN UNsoUND Co ndi-
ton, il is as ready for Infection, as land
ploughcd and narrowed to receive the al
lotted grain. Those who are wise, will
therefore comu cnce the publication of
ther blood without delay; and those who
are already attacked with sickness should
do the same.
Ladies should use Brandreth's Pills fre.
quentiy. They will ensure them from
severe sickness Of the stomach, and, gen>
orally speaking, entirely prevent ii. The
Brandreth's Pills are harmless. They in>
crease the powers OF life; they do not de-
press them. Females will find them to-
secure that state of health which every
mother wishes to etjoy. tn costiveness,
SO often prevalent at an interesting peri-
cd, the Brandreth S Pills are a safe and
efec,ual remedy.
Taere is no medicine so safe as this, it
is more easy than castor oil, and is now
generally used by pumei Gus ladies through
their confinement. DR.. Brandreth can
refer to many of our first physicians whn
recommend his pills TO their patients, to
the exclusion of all other purgatives, and
the pulls, being composed entirely ofherbs
or vegetable matter, purity the blood; and
carry off the corrupt minors Of the body.
in manner so simple as to give every day
ease and pleasure.
