ADVERTISING.

The Boston Star on the subject of Adver-
Using, holds the following language:
Nothing is more clearly settled, or more
universally admitted, than that the best mon
ey spent by business man, is that paid for
advertising. The fact has been demonstrated
throughout the world. Men will pay enough
for handsome sign, to embellish their stores,
for elegant windows, and for oysters, cigars,
confectionery and knick-knacks, to pay half
dozen years advertising bills, and all with
out any benefit TO their business or them
selves, to be gained by freely Advertising
Hundreds ought to be paid where tens are
now, if merchants would thrive and make
money,
cit does not answer to dabble lightly In the
matter. \ man may as we'll expect TO wash
his hands, by dipping fingers tip In the
water, as 70 give his business a sensible, clean
lift, by little advertising. The true way,
and the profitable one, is 10 pay for liberal adj
vertising, and then use it.-keep the mill
wheel turning all the time, and people will
certainly send you their grist after while.
Depend upon II, half of the business men
who 8 burst up" might avoid the painful and
disastrous event, by resorting to the printers
! instead of the shaver's aid, to hold them up.
Half the sum paid for shaving and other fol-
lies, would make the foolish men who pay for
those luXuTles, rich and comfortable. Try it
and see.
We wish that our merchants, mechanics
and business men generally, could realize and
appreciate the importance of Advertising
We speak not for ourselves, o. for city pa
pers, but of the importance Of advertisements
in country newspapers. If every enterpris-
ing merchant, &c, &c, In Albany. would de-
vote ten, fifteen or twenty dollars year, to
advertising in western and northern newspa-
pers, they would find their account in it
Their own interests and the interests of the
city, would derive great benefit from such an
arrangement. Our merchants IN former times
made themselves known to the country through
the country newspapers. This might be done
now with great advantage. Every dollar paid
for advertising in country newspapers viii
/ pay back twenty fold.--7Bany E0e. Jour.

A DREAM REALIzED.-T The following
dream foreshowing the fate of the famous
Major Andre, is of an old date, though
but little known. The truth is vouched
for by writer in Ainsworth's Magazine
of a recent date:
s. Major Andre, the circumstances of
whose lamented death are too well known
to make 1t necessary for me to detail
them here, was friend of Miss Stewards,
and previously to embarking for America
made journey into Derbyshire to pay
her visit and 1t was arranged that
they should ride over to see the wonders
of the peak, and introduce Andre to
Newton. her minstrel as she called him,
and TO Mr.. Cunningham, the curate, who
was also a poet.
While these two gentleman were
awaiting the arrival Of the guests, of
whose intentions they had been apprized,
Mr.. Cunningham mentioned 10 Newton
that on the preceding night he had a yely
extraordinary dream, which he could not
get out of his head. He had faacied him
self in forest, the place was strange to
him, and whilst looking about he perez
wed horseman approach at great speed

the dreamer stood, when three men rush.
ed out of the thicket and seized his bri-
die, and hurried him away, after closely
searching his person.
The countenance ofthe stranger being
very interesting, the sympathy fel, by
the sleeper for his apparent misfortune
awoke hun, but he presently fell asleep
again, and dreamed that he was standing
near large city, among thousands OF
people, and that he saw the same person
he had seen seized IN the woods brought
out and suspended on a ga!lows. When
Andre and Miss Seward arris ed he was
horror-struck to perceive that mis- now ac-
quaintance was the antelope Of the man
in the dream"

impulse of the age-of the steam engine in

gaping and rubbing your eyes, as il you were
half asleep, bat wide awake for whatever may
turn up. and you may be somebody before YOU
die. Think, plan, reflect, much as YOU
please, before you act; but think quickly and
closely, and when you have fixed your eyes
upon an object, spring 10 the mark At once:
Shun delays, they breed remoEse;
Take thy time while time is lent thee
Creeping snails have weakest force;
Fly thy fault, lest thou repeat thee;
Good is best when soonest wrought;
Lingering labors come TO naught.
Hoist up sail while gale doth last;
Tide and wind wait no mans pleasure:

Sober speed is wisdom's leisure;
After-wits are dearly bought.

Mr.. Buckingham, in his 22nd number of
the Croaker, published in the Boston Courier
briefly notices the hands in the printing Of
flee in which he was first employed in Bos-
ton, and speaks of the youngest apprentice as
follows:
The third and youngest apprentice has
always fi0Hted on the Hood tide of prosperity
"a tide which knows no retiring ebb. His
duty was then, (ike all young apprentices
to make the fires. sweep the Office pick up
the types that were dropped on the floor,

and finished bis time of service, he began
business as printer in State street. al the
corner OF Flag Aiey-a locality which is
now dignifled by the name of Exchange Az
enue. where he and his partner published a
weekly literary journal entitled The Emerald.
"He removed to Charlestown. where he
published a we'll known monthly religious
magazine, called the Panoplist Returning
after some years to Boston, he pursued the
business ofprinting and published on a more
extended scale, and TO that business added
the very natural one of bookseller. His
industry was untiring, his friends wealthy
and willing to aid-his publications popular
with large and jealous religious party, and
his profits sure and rapidly increasing He
could not be otherwise than rich he retired
from active business many years ago. to en-

ance. But the public required his services
He represented Boston several times in the
General Court, has been mayor of the city.

some years in London, Paris and Rome
His mansion is one of the most delight full

ADvERTIsING-ITs AOvANTAGEs.-ThI IS
the season for Advertising. There is no one
who has been deeply engaged in merchantie
pursuits but that can testify to its numerous
advantages. Notice if you will the different
firms in our own city. By advertising mer-
chants are enabled to keep constant schedule
of their goods before the public, thus inviting
the trading community to see their stocks. Ii
IS the best evidence too, that they fear not
competition, and are willing that their goods
and prices shall bear the test of the market.
Advertising, judiciousiy managed, pays ten
fold, beneftting alike the buyer and seller. -
