BENEFIT OF ADvERrIsIso.-The American
Wing Review, in the course Of long article on the
benefits resulting from advertising extensively relates
the following story:
GA few literary adventures were one day discus
sing their embarrassed finances in cafe at Paris.
One Of them grevOusy lamencd, in particular, that
men Of talents should be so i'll paid, whilst by the
mere advertisement OF his "Polynesan Pulp" one
Jacques Robinei had become SO enormously wealthy.
| "Bah, exclaimed young man named Cardan,
who afterwards destroyed his intellect by excessive
dissipation. Bah! IL you fortunes like Jacques
Poynesian, Pulp Robinet, why not follow his exam

pany for the most wonderful medicine in the world
Every thing nowadays is done by advertising, and
all we want is the capital TO advertise. For my
part have no money, but I'll devote my watch to

| "And NV new coat ;" said a second.
81 have twenty francs to spare" said third.
| 81 have nothing to Offer" said the fourth, ''but
myself, will give up my dignity as gentleman, and
roll the bread pills. cork the colored water in the

papers. They boldly announced the elixir the
discovery of years of study and experiment, and re-
ferred to host of imaginary experiments in different
departments OF France and in foreign countries, who,
according 10 their accounts, had In many cases
reached to the age of one hundred, or one hundred
and fifty years, without feeling any symptoms of de-
cay.
Cardan himself, who was a stranger in Paris i'm
putently boosted of his own two hundred years, and
like Cagiostro, related with deliberate andacity his
adventures with people of by-yone age"
ANDREW JACKscN.-We find the following re-
ninisccncc of this great and good man, in late Bos
ton paper, copied from Hildrcth's History of the
United States, "A work Of much merit. That writer
speaks as follows of Jackson's appearance of
the Delegates to Congress, from Tennessee:
SIN the House, that State represented by
Andrew Jackson, whom Gaatin, in his old age de
scribed As having been tall, lank, uncouh looking

face and down his back, tied in an eel skin;
his dress singular, his and department those
