BE CoMPREHENsIvE.-Talk to
the point, and stop when you have
reached it. The faculty some possess
of making cne idea cover quire OF
paper, is not good for much. Be COM
prehensive in all you say or write.
To fill a volume upon nothing is a
credit to nobody; though Lord Ches-
terfield wrote very clever poem
upon nothing.
There are men who get one idea
into their heads, and but one, and
they make the most of it. You can
see it and almost feel it when in their
presence. On all occasions it is pro-
duced till it is worn as thin as chart
ty. They remind one of a twenty
four FOUNDER discharged at hum
ming bird. You hear a tremendous
noise, see a volume of smoke, but
you look in vain for the effects. The
bird is scattered to atoms. Just so
with the idea. 1t is enveloped in a
cloud and lost amid the rumblings
of words and hourishes. Short let
ters, sermons, speeches, and para
graphs are favorites with us. Com
mend us to the young man who
wrote to his father -"Dcar Sir, | am
going to be married." and also to the
good gentleman who replied-"Dear
Son, go ahead"
Such are the men for action. They
do more than they say. The half is
not told in their case They are
worth their weight in gold for every
purpose in life. Reader, be short;
and we will be short with the ad-
vice. John Neal.

EXTRACT From A WHALEMAN's

LA NAIL RUM "A w ii ALIEN A N ,
JoURNAL.-Among the ailments to
which sperm whales are subject, is
the jumping toothache. 1t operates
on their nervous systems, as it does
upon those of mankind, rendering
them GRABBED and fractious. Just at
daybreak, one morning, while we
were cruising on the "ofAshore"
ground, violent commotion in the
water, about two miles ahead, re-
sembling breakers, attracted atten-
ton. 1t continued unabated till with
in fifty rods of it, when a sperm
whale, (for such it proved to be-
threw his entire body into the air and
fell back into his native element with
a tremendous report. Of course the
yards were hauled back, and the
boats lowered, but several minutes
elapsed before it was deemed pru-
dent to approach the monster Find
ing, however, that he had no idea
of becoming quiet, we advanced with
caution, and succeeded in securing
one iron firmly in his back; which
rendered him more restless. Giving
him plenty of slack line, we removed
to a respectful distance, hoping he
would sound or retreat; but he was
not disposed to do either. So taking
our oars we pulled sufficiently near
to give the boat-header an oppor-
tunity to lance him. He seemed to
be aware of our intention, for he
turned and rushed towards us with
the design of giving us a fawing,
which we narrowly escaped. Dur
ing the next half hour he chased us,
and it was with much difficulty that
we avoided him. When near us,
he turned his back and raised his
jaw, bringing to view two handsome
rows of ivory. Among terrific OBJ
jects, an enraged whale holds pro-
minent place.
An hour passed in unavailing at
tempts to accomplish the desired OBJ
ject; the whale becoming more furi-
Gus, and the hope of conquering him
growing fainter At length, while
the attention of the monster was di-
rected towards us, the mate came
upon him from an opposite direction
and dealt death wound, relieving
us of a burden of anxiety, which in
dicated itself in the pallid countenan
ces and nervous agitation of the boats
crew. He was very reluctant to
yield, and the death-struggle was
long and violent. If a cat has nine
lives, as is sometimes remarked, that
fellow had nineteen.
Before night his blubber was in
the try-pots, and his jaw was stripped
of its covering. On extracting the
teeth, the cause Of his singular move
ment was revealed. The cavities in
several contained large number of
worms, an cigth of an inchin length.
The teeth were perfectly sound, but
the marrow or nerve Of the tooth,
which was an inch in diameter at
the lower extremity, was in many of
them entirely consumed by the in
sects that seemed to have bred there.

Four Reasons

THAN ANYOTHER House

THAN ANOTHER HOUSE
IN THE CITY:
1st. have leased the whole building
that occupy, and the rents receive for
the parts leased out reduce my rent to
very small sum.
9d. have no partner to divide profits
with, and am therefore enabled to sell
cheaper than if had.
Sd. attend to my own sales, in con-
sequence of which have no clerk to pay,
and this is a handsome saving per month.
4th. | have not the expenses to pay of
a man in Europe to select my goods, but
receive them through orders from one of
the largest importers i'm New York; and
the proof that | get them right is that
am able to sell cheaper than any other
house in the trade in the city.

WlNN AL HUME.
The Fountain Head enlarged and neacly
dressed. Great .additions to the Bill
of Fare.
NNHE proprietor of this public and ia
l. vorite resort, is pleased to inform his
thousand friends (upon the Atlantic as
well as the golden side of the continent,)
of his safe return, with his family, to the
land of promise, from the old and frozen
regions of the North, and now considers
himself permanently situated in San Fran
cisco-the most lovely and beautiful spot
upon the face of the earth. We would
therefore inform those who have so long
and earnestly entreated him to give them
in addition to his great variety of pastry,
delicious tea and coffee, baked pork and
beans, ham, &C., little more variety of
the substantials for the inner man; such
as steaks, soups, oysters, buckwheat and
Indian Cakes. That agreeable to their
wishes, and to redeem the pledge he gave
them previous to his leaving for the States,
he has enlarged his saloon to nearly
double it's former size, and that every
thing is now ready to satisfy the most
voracious, or delicate appetite, supplied
at the table from SIX O'Clock in the morn
ing till twelve at night
The candy business at the counter will
go Oh as usual. Wholesale orders from
the country, for candy, cakes and other
fancy fxings. Orders for rballS, weddings,
fairs, and social parties, executed with
the same punctuality which has been OBJ
served at the Fountain Head since its
foundation in 1949.

to say more than that every thing about

motion behind the counter-he flatters
himself that matters will be done up to
the entire satisfaction of discriminating
public.
Please bear in mind, Winn's Fountain
Head is IA and 79 Long Wharf, between
Sansome and Battery streets, and that no
other house, in the city or county is con-
nected with it in any way, shape or man

We have understood that houses, we
cannot say like, or even similar, for that
would be giving them too much credit.

least of it; be that as it may, he leaves it
