ADvERTisrNG.--Noth othing is more clearly
settled, or more universally admitted, than
the money best spent ny a business man is
that paid fr advertising. The fact has
been demonstrated throughout the world.
Men will pay enough for handsome sign
TO- embeiiish their stores, for elegant win
iows, and for oysters, drink, cigars, con-
fectionary, and knick-knacks, to pay half a
dozen years advertising bills, and all with
out any benefit 10 their business or them
selves, to be gained by freely advertising.
Hundreds ought TO he paid where tens are
now, if merchants would thrive and make
money.
Ii does not answer TO dabbIe lightly in the
matter. A man may as well expect to wash
his hands by dipping fingers tip in the
water, as to give his business a sensible
clean lift, by little advertising. 4 be true
way, aud the profitable one, is to pay for
liberal advertising, and then use IL. Keep
the mill wheel turning all the time, and
people viii certainly send you their grist
after a while. Depend upon it, half Of the
business men who burst up might avoid
the painful and disastrous event, by resort
inr 20 the printers instead Of the shaver's
aid, to hold them up. Half the sum paid
for shaving, and other follies, would make
the foolish men who pay for those luxuries,
rich and comfortable Try it and see.
We wish that our merchants, mechanics,
and business men generally, cOnid realize
and appreciate the importance of adyerIis-
ing. We speak not now for ourselves, or
for city papers, but the Importance Of adj
ver,isements in country newspapers. Our
merchants in former times made themselves
known to the country through the country
newspapers This might he done now with
great advantage. Every dollar paid for ad-
vertising in the country newspapers will
pay an hundred fold Albany Evening
Journal.

Success In Life.

Take earnestly hold of life, as capaci-
tated for, and destined to a high, and
noble purpose. Study closely the minds
bent for labor or profession. Adopt
it early, and pursue it steadily, never
looking back to the turned furrow, but
forward to the new ground that ever
remains to be broken. Means and
ways are abundant to every mans sue
cess, if will and action are rightly adap-
ted to them. Our rich men have car
we'd their paths to fortune and fame by
this eternal principle principle that
cannot fail to reward its votary if it be
resolutely pursued. To sigh or repine
over lack of inheritance is unmanly.-
Every man should strive to be creator
instead ofinheritor. He should bequeth
rather than borrow. The human race,
in this respect, wants dignity and dis
cipline. 1t prefers to WELD the rusted
sword of valcrous forefathers, toforging
its own weapons. This is mean and
ignoble spirit. Let every man be con-
scious of the God in him, and the Prov
idence over him, and fight his own bat
tie with his own good lance. Let him
feel that it is better to earn a crust than
to inherit Golfers of gold. This spirit
of self-nobility, once learned, and every
man will discover within himself under
God, the elements and capacities of
wealth. He will be rich inestimably rich
in self-resources, and lift his face proud
lyto meet the noblest among men.

The last half Century.

There has been no period since the
commencement of the world, which SO
many important discoveries, tending to
the benefit of mankind, were made, as
in the last half century. Some of the
most wondrouS results of human intel
lect have been witnessed in the last fifty
years. Some of the grandest concep-
tons of genius have been perfected
1t is remarkable how the mind of the
world has run into scientific investiga-
ton, and what achievements it has ef-
feeted in that short period. Before the
year 1900, there was not single
steamboat in existence, and the appli-
cation of steam 10 machinery was np-
known. Fulton launched the firsi
steamboat 1907. Now, there are three
thousand steamboats, traversing the wa
tiers of America, and the time saved in
travel is equal to seventy per cent
The rivers of every country in the
world, nearly, are traversed by steam
boats. In 1900 there was not single
railroad in the world. In the United
States alone there are S797 miles of
railroads, costing S2S5,0O0,000 to
build; and about $4,000 miles of rail-
road in England and America. The
locomotive will now travel in as many
hours distance which, in 1900, re-
qulred as many days to accomplish
In 1900 it took weeks to convey intel
ligence between Philadelphia and New
Orleans; now it can be accomplished in
minutes, through the electric telegraph,
which only had its beginning in 1913.
Voltaism was discovered in March,
$500. The electro magnet in lS2i.-
Electrotyping was discovered only a
few years ago. Hoes printing press,
capable of printing 10000 copies an
hour, is very recent discovery, but of
most important character. Gas light
was unknown in 1900; now every CITY
and town, of any pretence, are lighted
with it, and we have the announce
ment of still greater discovery, by
which light, heat, and motive power,
may all be produced from water, with
scarcely any cost. Daguerre commu-
nicated to the world his beautiful in
vention in 1899. Gun cotton and
chloroform are discoveries but of few
years old. Astronomy has added a
number of new planets to the solar sys-
tenn. Agricultural chemistry has en-
larged the domain of knowledge in
that important branch of scientific re-
search, and mechanics have increased
the facilities for production, and the
means of accomplishing an amount of
labor which far transcends the ability
of united manual effort to accomplish.
The triumphs achieved in this last
branch of discovery and invention, are
enough to mark the last half century
as that which has most contributed to
augment personal comforts, enlarge the
enioyments, and add to the blessings of
man. What will the next half century
accomplish! We may look for still
greater discoveries; for the intellect of
man is awake, exploring every mine of
knowledge, and searching for useful in
formation in every department of art
and industry.

4 dia not obey niy Parents"

The Jail was large, gloomy looking
stone building. The windows were made
strong by great iron bars fastened a
cross them. But the inside was the
most gloomy. twas divided into very
small rooms, only five feet wide, and
eight long. Each room had a cross
barred iron door, with strong bolts and
locks. .and when the jailor opened or shut
the door, the hinges grated frightfully
on the ear.
In one of the rooms of the Jail was a
young man about twenty-eight years
old. He had been found guilty of ma
king and passing bad money, and the
Judge said he must 60 to the state pris-
on, and stay there as long as he lived.
But he was so sick that he could not be
removed to prison.
Poor fellow once he could play in
the green fields, down by the cold spring,
or under the shady trees around his
fathers house; or, when he was tired,
he could go home and lay his head upon
his mothers knee, and rest himself; or,
if he was sick, she would sit by his bed
and kindly nurse him. But how differ
ent! shut up in dark, gloomy Jail, with
no Cne to care for him, and all around
cursing and swearing, and making hor-
rid noises. o, he felt very wretched.
Said he, 81 shall never be able to 90
to the state prison, am SO sick. O! if
| was only ready to die, it would not
matter SO muchi"
"And are you not ready to die?"
80, no." said he, 81 am afraid to dier'
''But why are you afraid to diet''
''BecauSe | am such sinner"
"There is hope, and mercy, and sal
vation for sinners, for the greatest OF
sinners, through Jesus Christ"
Il have no hope. You may talk to
me about Christ and salvation, but there
is none for me, and that makes me a.
fraid to die.''
talked to him some time about his
father; and when Ispoke of his mother,
then his lip trembled, and single tear
stole down his burning cheek.
"Nas not your mother Christian p
40, yes sir; and good woman she
was. Many and many time she has
warned me of this"
'Then you have had good religious
instruction, kind Christian parents, who,
no doubt, often prayed for you, and
taught you to pray!'
80 yes, sir"
"Then why are you here?"
Said the dying man, 81 can answer
you all in one short sentence-Idid not
o6ey my parents"
These were the last words he spoke
to me. After saying few words more
TO him came away, rejecting upon his
awful condition, and the reason which
he gave me for being in that dark and
gloomy jail,-' DID NOT OBEY MY PA
RENTS" ."-.Sundy School Advocate.
