A WORD TO ADyEpTisERs-lt has Away:
been custom, in the country. to string out ad
verisemenis, and make as conspicuous dis
pls' AS possible, thus giving TO the papers
more the appearance Of an illustrated Comic
Almanac, or a snowy handbil, This is very
bal taste, at best. and will always prevent 9
paper from looking neai IN addition to this
when thus stretched out, they occupy about
double the space, and no one is benefited
while The publishers are seriously inconyenien-
ced, bo,h in regard TO room and in a pecuni
ary point Of view. And then, if one adyer.
'lsement is thus set OF, another mans must lie
also, or there is terrible grumbling. Then,
perhaps, particular friend, who cannot well
be refused, wants his advertisements placed in
HHLe larger letters than his ncighbors, and
here is trouble again. Mos! Of the city papers
and particularly those which are taken as pat
terms, have long since adopted uniform rule,
viii h inju;es none Of thciI patrons, and at
the same time is simple ac, Of justice 10
themselves. They display no advertisement
,chdterer, but lave them all set up alike in a
plain, neat style, thus materially improving
the typographical appearance of their papers,
preventing complaints from hither and thither,
and at the same time, speaking entirely with
IN bounds, saving one third Of their columns
for advertisements which they would other
wise have 10 refuse or else crowd seriously
upon their reading columns, and thus depriv-
ing patrons Of the usual quantity Of matter
which they are entitled TO This is 4 good
rule and it works well all are served alike,
no favoritsm is shown, and the advertise
tnents are all equally read, because the style
of one has nothing TO attract attention TO it
more than another.
We are compelled, in self defence, to adopt
this rule, for two reasons first because we
suffer in the same way which we have spok-
cs Of above, and second, because the in
crease Of advertisements, particularly at this
season, is such that we must either refuse ad
mission to many, or enlarge the paper. The
first we do not wish TO do, and the last we
hardly feel warranted in doing, while the pa
per is furnished at so cheap rate,-although
we may be compelled to adopt this last course
yet, in addition to what we intend to do now
Hereafter, therefore, all advertisements will be
set in neat and plain style, as in the city
paTers and under no circumstances shall we
depart from this wholesome regulation.

DREAMY LIFE.-Wouldn't you call man
a fool who should spend all his time in fishing
up oysters, with the expectation of finding a
Pearl But is he really more unwise than
hundreds who, with their hands in their pock-
cts, and cigars in their mouths, are waiting
for something to turn up, or turn over, that
will throw them at once into business and a
forune' They may wait till doomsday, and
longer, if possible, before their fond expecta-
lions are realized. If there is kind Of life
that we more than abominate, it is lingering,
waiting, lazy, dreamy sort Of existence over
which, angels and true men weep with un-
feigned sorrow.

few days out from St. Vincent, Cape de

some slight repairs. A few days after leav-
ing here, the ship sprung leak, from an aug
er hole, which had been left while repairing
her for previous voyage they succeeded in
suppressing the water, until they reached st.
Vincent. For the first twenty days out, they
experienced exceedingly rough weather, and
shipped one sea which s'ove their larboard
boat, and did some other unimportant injury.
The Company were all well, and in fine spir.
ITS one Of the letters states that none Of them
had shaved since leaving here, and that their
whskers an | moustaches would put the blush
even to the Ocean House dandies, in summer.
They had had service on board regularly ey-
