THE MAN WHO DON'T ADVERTISE.


You meet him occasionally, and know him
whenever and wherever you encounter him. He
is his own betrayer. His business he will not
advertise, but involuntarily advertises himself
wherever he goes. His coat is always a little
seedy. He never rejoices in a new beaver. His
shlrtcollar manlfests decided tendency to skulk
behind his cravat--an unfailing indication of de-
cllDing prosperity. He looks at you askant,
suspciously, as though he had designs upon
him. He always wears a meek, hang-dog sort
OF expression OF countenance, like tenant of
life at sufferance. He has the blues. He has
the dyspepsia. He has nothing to do at pres
ent, nothing better in prospect His pockets
never resound with the sweet music of the
"rocks." He is like mummy in the great
world around him, unknown and uncared for
like the fifth wheel of coach, out OF place and
worse than useless.
He has good stand" but it always stands
solitary, like powder house or hospital His
wares nre displayed in his windows, about his
door, on his platform, but they don't draw"
He fingers over his counter, half expecting Gus
toners which never come, Tolls over the bench,
awaiting orders which never arrive. He has a
fine assortment of goods, but the world knows
nothing of it. He has an excellent set of tools,
and is a superior workman, but nobody is tho
wiser Ior IT, FeOpic III tne country WHO Ieau
the papers, to know what is going on in town,
have never heard of him. People in town who
have perchance sometimes glanced at his sign,
never deal with him. They know that the man
who cannot afford to advertise, cannot afford to
sell as cheap as his neighbor. His custom is SO
limited, that those who do patronize him must
pay an extra profit Besides, no one knows
whether or not his wants can be supplied by the
man who don't advertise. Nobody knows what
commodities he has. And in this 60 ahead age,
when time is money, nobody is going cropping
and poking about uncertainties, among such old
Fogies when their enterprsing neighbors. thro'
the Press, tell precisely what they can supply.
The "man who don't advertise" is every year
becoming rarer phenomenon. Like our lndi-
ans, the race is becoming extinct. Ten years
hence it will be wonder how such man could
ever have existed, and pretended to do business.
He is doomed man. He has mistaken the
great secret of success. He has ignored the
Press, the great lever by which the world is
moved, and the world has ignored him. He al
ways must fail. The capital of an Astor is not
equal to the task of sustaining the +" man who
don't advertise" st. Anthony Express.

WHAT For MANY were the questions ask
ed US last evening-what were they firing can
non for to-day? Over the supposed grave OF
the Maine law-was the reply we were obliged
to give. But, what toas it for? That men may
have the privilege of making beasts of them
selves, whenever brutal and disgusting appetites
have driven Judgment and selfrespect from their
seats. That women may still continue to be,
by thousands, as they have been, that lowly
thing drunkard's wife," That wives may be
abused and matreated till life shall become a
burden--this life that we love so much and cling
to so strongly-and death be welcome as
blessed friend. That children may grow up
with fathers shame clinging TO their untaint-
ed innocence, and under the shadow of such a
fathers fearful influence, taught OH how early,
the sorrow that older hearts can hardly BEAR
That the fruitful mother of vice and crime may
still have liberty to spawn her filthy broods in
our streets, and people our peniteniary and pris-
ons. What triumph! "The demons down
under the sea" might hold high carnival at such
a result, but how can men? [Det. Tribune.

THE HEAD AND THE HEART.
BY SAKE.

BY SAAE.
The Head is stately, calm and wise,
And bears princely part;
And down below, in secret, lies
The warm, impulsive Heart.
The lordly Head that sits above,
The Heart that beats below, ,s o..
Their several Office plainly prove,
Their true relation show.
The Head erect, serene and cool,
Endowed with Reasons art;
Was set aloft to guide and rule
The throbbing hayward Heart
And from the Head, as from the higher,
Comes all directing thought;
And in the Hearts Transforming fire,
All noble deeds are wrought.
Yet each is best when both unite
To make the man complete
What were the heat without the light?
The light without the heat?

HOPE.

There's not heath, however rude,
But hath some little flower
To brighten up its solitude
And scent the evening hour:
There's not a heart, however cast
BY grief and sorrow down,
But hath some memory of the past
To love and call its own.

SPAIN.--A singular report has within a
few days been set font in Washington
in reference to Spanish affairs. 1t involve
nothing less than a dynastic revolution is
the peninsula, under the auspices Of the
third Napolcan, similar to that attempted,
so disasterously 10 himself, by the first.
The following extracts, published by
the Washington Sentinel. furnish some
thing like detail. That paper says
We derive them from private sources,
and they are entitled to as much credit as
high private character and best opportu-
tunity of acquiring information can give
them. The first is an extract from a pri-
vate letter, which the character Of the
writer and his means Of information enti-
tied to no little weight. 1t is as follows ::
"In my last, stated TO you that PEI
uela, the captain general of Cuba, would
not WELD the powers with which he is in
vested by our government, because of a late
well credited rumor of approaching dan
ger m the form of change of govern
mcnt at Madrid. We have at present
very reliable data Of these past rumors,
which are accompanied by very positive
information MS regards the future cxpccta-
tons Of the revolutionists."
"The anticipated revolution referred 10
in the above transact, is thus explained
by those who are in position to get &C
cess to the latest, best, and mos: reliable
information.
90 The two parties of Spain, { liberals
and republicans) have united. under the
supervision of Narvaez and direction OF
Louis Napolean, to dethrone Isabella the
Second, and to proclaim the Duke of Alba
who is Louis Napolean's brother-in law,
Emperor, being by family rights a preten-
der to the Spanish crown.

The Board make significant comment
on the above table:
considering the interesting and i'm.
portant facts presented by this table, the
Board do not feel justified in concealing
their opinion that the works now in pro-
gress and projected are fully sufficient,
for The present, to engage all tho energies
and to consume all the available means
of the State, and that, therefore. the die
tate of wisdom is, to pause and breathe
awhile before engaging in new works.
The Board suggest the necessity of
new map ofVirginia. The old maps are
imperfect and incorrect. The Legisla-
Etufe have already appropriated $4,000
for improving the map Of the State, which
sum is altogether inadequate to the pur-
pose. The Board recommended such
provision as will enable professor VIM. B.
Rogers. to complete his geological survey
OF the State, and to publish the results of
his researches with suitable illustrations.
The Report closes with statement of
the embarrassments which the Board en-
countered in their. efforts TO maintain the
credit ofthc Commonwealth, and to pro-
cure suf1icicncy of capital to>mect the
immediate wants of the State. They in
form us, that they have consummated ar
engagements which will insure success to
their endcavors.
1t is very manifest from this report OF
The Board of Public Works that they
have exercised n vigilant supervision Of
the interests committed to their charge,
and have performed the duties of their Of
fee with commendable, zeal and energy

We shall publish further extracts from
this Report, on next week.
