More Benefits of Advertising

These continue to multiply every day.
The Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch says:
that young lady in that city lately lost
her pin-cushion, and was obliged to use
an onion as a substitute, to stick her
needles in. On awaking the next morn
ing, she found that all the needles had
tears in their eyes. All persons who
doubt the fact, may see the identical
onion by going to Philadelphia and call
ing on the lady.
The Alton Courier says: ave pub
Hshed some time ago letter from q
lawyer in Morris county, New Jersey,
stating that two Germans had been
arrested and confined in the Jail of that
county, charged with the murder Of
another German by the name of kyndig.
A body was found supposed to be his,
and the prisoners were the last persons
seen with him. The prisoners insisted
that they were innocent, and that Kyndg
had gone to the West, and they believed
he was in Illinois. The facts were pub
lished in some of the Illinois papers, and
the man, Kyndig, was found in Magnolia,
Putnam county. He has since been
sent to be present at the trial. So much
for advertising.

Z" Ladies " vs.. Wives.

The following Is too good to be lost.
We copy it from the Columbis (Texss)
Democrat. 1t is worthy of an extensive
circulation:
A good deal has been said. and well
said, about men speaking of other mems
wives as their '.ladies." 1t would sound
very ridiculous to hear a lady call her
husband gentleman" or ask another
lady where her gentleman" was, when
inquiring about her husband. Well, one
is just as bad as the other: give us plain
husband and wife, and plain way of
calling people and things by their right
names. We should not be at all sur
prised if that class of society who hunt
for roundabout ways to express their
ideas, did not in a little while when in
quiring about ones sons and daughters,
adopt such modes of expression as these:
"Howis your oldest masculine ofspring?"'
or, Glow is the little feminine darling
who addresses you as parent?" or, when
speaking of our negroes, allude to them
as our Ethiopian bondsmen." We can
imagine one of these individuals entering
a complaint in the following language
"My dear gentleman, your specimen of
the canine species was by your Youngest
masculine offspring set upon my lady's
feline pet and had it not been for your
Ethiopian bondswoman, it would by COM
pulsion have been forced to depart this
life ="

Learning to Spell.

Bad spelling is discreditable. Every
young man should be master of his native
tongue. He that will not learn to spell
the language that is on his tongue and
before his eyes every hour, shows no great
aptitude for the duties of an intelligent,
observing man. Bad spelling, therefore,
is discreditable indication. 1t indicates
a biundering mana man that cannot see
with his eyes open. Accordingly we
have known the application of more than
one young man, made with great display
of pen1nanship and parade of references,
rejected for his bad spelling.
Bad spelling is very bad indication
He who runs may read it. A bright
school-boy, utterly incapable of appre-
ciating your stores of science, art and
literature, can see your bad spelling at
a glance, and crow over it. You will
find it hard to inspire that boy with any
great respect for your attainments. Bad
spelling is, therefore, very nortifying
and inconvenicnt defect We have known
men, thrown into prominent positions, so
ashamed of their deficiency in this re-
spect, that they never ventured to send
a letter till it had been revised by friend.
This was, to say no more, sufficiently in
convenient.
I say again, learn to spell. Keep your
eyes open when you read, and if any
words is spelt different from your mode,
ascertain which is right. Keep your die
tionary by you: and in writing, when
ever you have the least misgiving about
the spelling of word, look at out at once,
and remember it. DO not let your lazi-
ness get the better of YOU.
