Some newspaper wag tells story Of an old
gentleman, whose eight or ten clerks bored him
continually with conundrums. Going home one
evening, he was stopped in front ofa closed store
by countryman, who asked: Can you tell me
my friend, why this store is closed!' $50 TO
blazes," cried he, "with your conundrums! I've
been bored to death with em these three
weeks"
The booksellers advertisements in England
are sometimes ludicrously abbreviated, doubt
less to save the great expense of advertising in
the London journals. The following is laugh
able announcement of one among several evan

When any man speaks i'll of us, we are to
make use Of it as a caution, without troubling
ourselves at the calumny. He is in wretched
case, that values himself upon other peoples
opinions, and depends upon their judgment for
the peace of his life.
Believing thing to be true, will not make it
true; faith never alters facts. Truth will re-
main truth forever, whether believe it or not.
Aclock is as worthy of praise for going right,
as man is for doing right without the motive
to do right. .5o4.f
a man is guilty for not knowing what is
right, as for not doing it when he knows it, if
the means of knowing be within his reach.
The keeping "the ten commandments Of
God, and the faith of Jesus" constitutes the
true foundation Of the hope Of salvation.

GooD.-After the termination of the Semi
mole campaign, General Jackson visited Wash
ngton City, and during his stay there, having
occasion to supply himself with n neither gar
ment, employed fashionable tailor named Bal
lard to make it. Ballard, who was a very pomp-
Gus little fellow, and very fond of being recog-
nized by great men who had been his customers,
few days after he had finished the unmen-
tionables, seeing the General in front of Tenni-
sons Hotel in conversation with some gentle
men, stepped up and spoke to him. The Gen.
eral, thinking him some distinguished indivdu-
all very cordially gave him his hand, but not re-
membering him, in a whisper inquired his name.
To which Ballard replied:
{" | made your breeches"
The General deceived by The sound, immedi-
ately turned to the company and introduced him
as Major Breeches-a title which poor Ballard
was afterward obliged to wear to the day of his
death.
Merchants who do not advertise are close and
narrow minded in their views, and a perfect
type of the greedy impatience of the fellow
who in order to realize fortune in single op-
Grafton, killed the goose that laid the golden
eggs. The same morbid contractedness of in
terest in advertising, is akin to that of the farm
er who stinted his land to half the quantity of
seed necessary to produce full crop, under the
expectation of saving at seed time, and at the
same Zine of gathering in an abundant harvest
As general rule, those who are wanting in the
liberality necessary to make their business ex-
tensvely known, will not hesitate to skin every
customer who comes within their reach. La
dies are sagacious. They know who advertise,
and who do not, and they never expect bar
gain in a non-advertising establishment So,
too, with men. They say the man who does
advertise his goods, has nothing worth adverti-
sing, or if he has and does not, he is skinhnt,
and it is better to keep out his clutches.
"John, stop your crying" said an enraged Ia
thcr to his son, who had kept up an intolerable
yell for the past five minutes. "Stop, | say, do
you hear?" again repeated the father, after a
few minutes, the boy still crying. "You don't
suppose can choke off in a minute, do you 2"
chimed in the urchin.
The path of virtue is the only path of peace.

FROM LAKE SuPERIoR.-We had the pleasure
OF visit this morning from T.. Jackson, esq.,,
agent of the Marquette Iron Company at Carp riv
err, Lake Superior. He left Carp river about two
weeks ago, came by dog train to Menomonee, one
hundred and thirty miles, then took sleigh for
Green Bay, and stages to Chicago. Mr.. J. stopped
few days on the way, and thinks the winter
journey can now be made from Carp river to Cleve-
land in about eight or nine days. Mr.. jackson
speaks Of the fall and winter weather at Lake Su
perior as very fine. The fall of snow was early
and heavy, and the snow ia now about six feet
deep on level in the woods. The mercury has
been below zero but few mornings, and it has
been comfortable working in the open air at all
times. There are about thirty families at Carp
river, who have their sleighrdes to the Iron oun-
tain, dances, and usual winter sports Teams are
busy hauling iron ore from the mountain, twelve
miles, and the Marquette Iron Company will have
some twelve hundred tons at their works ready
for spring operations. party are engaged in
preparing coal, and the intention is to turn out
large amount of iron next season. The jackson
Iron Works are making some iron this winter.
Friend jackson is quite enthusiastic in regard to
the soil and agricultural capabilities of the Carp
river region as well as it's mineral wealth. A ship
canal at the Saul, now certain to be constructed
Will aid much In the rapid resources of the devel-
opment of the great northwest. s--.-. --.. -

BUTTER.-The spectators in butter (says the
Boston IrGnscript) have had the tables turned up
on them. The farmers of the West, anticipating
a great rise from the sudden demand for butter
last summer, raised by the spectators, held on to
their butter little too tenaciously. The article is
now coming into the market in quantities, W hich
cannot fail to put down the price very materially
The Buffalo EIprfss says: ssWe heard the other
day that butter had been sold at Cleveland for one
eighth of dollar. We notice marked decline
IN the New York market, and the Albany Epen-
ing Journal, of Monday, says: Butter spec
have the blues. Their two-shilling contracts and
three-shihng hopes are likely to end in smoke.
The very beat article brought to market sells at
twenty Cents.' -
