BoRRowINe TRoUBt Es.--One Of the best thing
in Tupper's Proverbial Philosophy, is the follow
ing:
"Thou hast seen many troubles, travel stained
pilgrim of the world. But that which hath veyeJ
thee most. hath been the looking for evil. And
though calamites have crossed thee. and misery
been beaped upon thy head. yet ills that never han
pencd have chiefly made thee wrecked"

"A LOVE SONG.
BY CARL LINLEY.
She who sleeps upon my heart
Was the first to win it;
She who dreams upon my breast
Ever reigns within it;
She who kisses oft my lips
Wakes their warmest blessing;
She who rests within mine arms
Feels their closest pressing.
Other days than these shall como,
Days that may be dreary;
Other hours shall greet us vet,
Hours that may be weary.
Still that heart shall be thy home,
Still that breast thy pillow;
Still those lips meet thine as oft
Biliow meeteth billow.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart,
Since thy love hath won it;
Dream, then, on my loyal breast
None but thou hast done it.
And when age our bliss shall change
With its wintry weather,
May we in the self same grave
Sleep and dream together!

To Advertisers and the Business COminu-
nity.

IN few weeks, the chelers which is subsidng, will
disappear The gloom and panic which have prevailed,
will then give place to prospect Of revival Of business
and activity in every description Of commercial enter
prise almost equal to that which disclosed itself the
subsistence Of the pestence OF 1882 $50 and which
followed by those extraordinary years Of general pros
perty-lS34- 1886
One Of the principal elements and agencies in aiding
and assisting business men, and domestic comfort and
tranquility, in these REVEALS is to be found in the
Newspaper press-the widely circulating daily journals
In connection with this matter, we may fairly place
before the advertising community the advantages
which the Nev York Herald possesses as daily adver-
tising sheet According to the recent Developments
In the dispute between and the Tribune, 1t is
admitted that the Tribune has circulation Of about
krtsen to.sand per day. while that Of the Nep York
Herald rises to tvenyfrs or treniy.sir thousand, and
has frequently reached considerably thirty thousand
day Nor Is 1t the vast culation of journal alone
which gives 1t peculiar claims upon the attention Of the
advertising community. The character Of that circu
tion and the character of the readers and patrons Of
che Journal of the highest Importance to business
people. Now, in addition to the extraordinary and
spread circulation Of the New York Herald which
Is without rival in its comprshsnsiveness it is inpor
tnt to note that it crculates chiefly among the
Of intellg active business men-the active
busy classes Of society in this and the other large
cities and towns of the United States There is no
other journal In New York which has large crcu
lation the Herald, any thing like itnone which
exercises great influence upon the minds Of the
great intelligent and active Of the country
This circulation is difusive circulation. In Phia-
dsphia Bosten Baltimore and other great cities and
centres Of thought and business operations the circu
lation Of the Herald extensive that ofany Of the
local journals in those ces-thst is to say the Herald
Is as generally and regularly read.
We present these facts and these views to readers
and patrons, and the business community generally
In . week two, people will be returning from the

81 Business Of all kinds will be resumed with fresh

have no doubt. AS aid and auxiliary in this revi-
val ths Nv York Herald, from its position and vast
sifsulation among all classes, commercial political and
social presents obvious claims upon the patronage OF
the advertising community In this respect no other
Journal In New York and least Of all, the Tribune

into the condition of the American Navya II is
well known that steam power is, In this age, the
great element which we must rely in naval
warfare. How do we stand in this respect IN
der recent government contracts, several lines of
ocean steamers are now in process of construction;
several Of them being nearly completed. egave,
the other day, full description of two Of these pow
srful steamships-the SOHO" and the "Georgia''-
destined for the mail service between this port and
the South American coast. The same line ape
TO build two or three smaller steamers. MP.
Collins line, to ply between New York and
Liverpool, consisting of five steamships, is fast
approaching completion. These steamships are
to be of nearly three thousand tons burthen.
They are built in the strongest manner pos
sible. There is nothing in any other navy in
the world that can approach them in point of size,
strength and capacity. Then there are the Her
mann and Washington, of the Bremen line; the
Franklin and another, to be built Immediately for
the Havre hne-all powerful steamers Besides
these, we have the Southemer and Northerner, of
the Charleston line, and Tennessee and Cherokee,
Of the Savannah linefand, in case of necessity,
the Crescent City and Empire City could be OBJ
tanned. In addition to these, there five large
steam frigates now on the stocks for the Navy,
which, with the Mississippi, Princeton and Ale
ghany, give us steam navy on the Atlantic side
of twenty-seve steam vessels. On the Pacific we
have the steamships Panama, Oregon, California,
Edith and Massachusetts. They can be at once con-
verted, in case of emergency, into war steamers.
Great Britain has large number of steamships
in her navy, but they of small size, and
could not compete at all with those now build
ing under contracts with our government
But Will we have a sufficient steam naval
force, in case of the breaking out of with any
foreign power, when the steamers now building
are completedl Should not the completion of
these steamships be fastened! Does not prudence
demand that we should be fully prepared, at any
moment, to engage in conflict on the ocean!
We call upon the government at Washington,
in the most respectful but urgent terms, to look to
this matter Let there be no delay in making all
needful preparations for the successful prosecution
of offensive or defensive measures. 1t is impos-
sible TO tell how soon the government may be
called upon to exercise more potent and uncere-
monious diplomacy than that which is waged be-
tween gentlemanly civilians in charge of State
departments. The head Of the Navy Department
has serious responsibility resting upon hun.
Again we say, let the government see to it, that
they are prepared, fully prepared, to defend and
MAINTAIN the nights and honor of the country.
