a Curious Case,

A novel case Of adultery was before our police
court short time since, in which the wife Of q
John Bennett, formerly of Exeter, \. H., resort
ed TO the same course in unveiling her husbands
falsity that was usedupon one Of ofold-she plough
ed with his heiier. John had yielded to the
weakness Of his nature, and became enamored of
Miss --, whom he took to HaverhiIl, to spend
the Sabbath with the old folks" at home,
passing their son-in-law, showing forged
certificate Of marriage. His watchful wife, un-
derstanding the matter fully, took occasion
while walking in the street 10 inform him that
she was knowing to the facts, when he knocked
her down, and upon complaint was locked in
jail for thirty days. While he was in prison the
shrewdness Of the wife manifested itself Dress
ing heaself in male attire, she visited his para
mour, as an attendant at the jail sent by Mr..
B., saying he was afraid the presents be had
given her might be used against him if he should
be tried for adultery, and requested that lie
should let his friend, the bearer, take charge Of
them, which was accordingly done, and they
were handed over. Before leaving, and after
some very severe remarks about the Jealous wife.
this assumed jail-waiter SAID Mr. B. requested
him to bring one kiss from her, which she con-
sented to give, and wished to send thousand
by the same bearer! The visit was repeated sew
eral times, and the girl completely blinded till
the facts were obtained, till then did she dis
cover that she had been completely sold.-Nelg-

For the jolly tar had VOLUNTEERED to 60 to sea;
AT the sailing-signal flying
The lovely lass was signing,
And said, II fear you never will come back to

My heart is cold with fear,
That you, my sailor dear,
In the perils of the battle and the deep should
be-"
"Oh," says Jack, you'll not be

With glory soon did Jack
From the Baltic Sea come back,
With such lot of bearskins, that the proud
city
With gold box did present him,
And likewise did compliment him
With the freedom of the ancient SINNERS Com
pany,
Then he went the girl to find
That he had left behind:

That his sweetheart never knew him
Till at her feet he threw him,

The cause of your surprise;
You wonder, that your sailor should 50 hairy

But my hair did thus increase
With using of benrs grease

When we were sweeping of the Baltic Sea-"
Says she, what will they do
For that bears grease that you

For we gave them such a wigging
As will last them for some time in the Baltic

Advertising.

With the sharp competition prevailing among
| those engaged in business competition which
brings into operation all the energies man pos
| esses-which keeps him constantly upon the run
| during the day, and allows him little rcpose at
night-it is especially important that persons
advertise, and do it upon comprehensive and
liberal scale. 1t is not sufficient that individ-
ual has been long while in business, that his
house is known to the older part of creation and
his reputation established in that circle it is not
sufficient that 'drummers" are employed to hunt
up or run down customers it is not sufficient
that eligible situations for mercantile transac-
tions secured ana handsome stores ntted up :
these contrivances were all very well, and an
swered every purpose at an earlier period but
in these days ofmultiplied population and uni
versal demand, of railroads and steamers Of
lightning and newspapers, they will not suffice
Times have changed; the road to wealth and
competency has changed. People do not travel
by post coaches now, they take conveyances
which are propelled by steam. When the New
York daily papers were printed upon hand-pres-
ses, the enterprising merchant advertised in them
and thus accumulated his regular customers
But great revolution has taken place both
the city and country have changed, as well as the
manner of doing business. Men have adopted
the gO-ahead principle. The American people
have become fast people.
Everything goes with rush. People make
or loose money with a rush; they not per-
mitted to do business in a quiet way, if they
would. They must throw themselves into the
great current, and move onward with the crowd:
it is idle for them to demur, attempt to break
the force of the tide; the moment they do so,
they go down, and their places are filed by some
Young America
Now, the times are such that men in business
are obliged to advertise; they obliged to do it
to keep pace with the crowd; they cannot hope
to be successful without it. 1t is required by
the spirit of the age. 1t is as indispensable to
the merchant and dealer as the pOwer-press is to
newspaper manufacturer. very limited a.
mount Of printing may be done upon a hand
press, and limited mercantile trade may be car
ried on without advertising but whoever ex-
poets to be successful either in the printing the
mercantile business, must adopt all the modern
improvements, among which, in the latter line,
we consider that of advertising the chief and
the greatest.

FANNY FERN.

THE MERCHANTS HEART.-Matthis, the Lev
antine merchant, had spent his whole life, from
his boy-tme upwards, in travelling for the islands
of the South Seas. He had returned to his native
place Texas, Tarsus in the full vigor of manhood
and was reported to have amassed great wealth
His first stop was to make a purse and governor
and to present him with purse and string OF
pearls, in order to bespeak his goodwill. Then
he built himself spacious place in the midst Of
garden on the borders Of stream, and began
to lead quiet life, resting after the fatgues Of
his many voyages. Most persons considered him
to be the happiest of merchants; but those who
Were introduced to his intimacy, knew that his
constant companions were thought and sadness
When he had departed in youth, he had left his
father and his brothers, and his sisters, in health
although poor; but when he returned in hopes TO
gid the remainder Of their days, he found that
the hand Of death had fallen upon them every ono
and that their was no one to share his prosperity
and blight came over his heart.

PLEAsURE.-B Blessed be tho hand that prepares
a pleasure for q child! for there is no saving
when and where it may again bloom forth. Does
not almost everybody remember some kind
hearted man who showed him kindness in the
quiet days ofhis childhood? The writer Of this
recollects himself at this moment as barefoot
ed lad, standing at the wooden fence of poor
little garden in his native village; with longing
eyes he gazed on the flowers which were bloom
ing there quietly in the brightness Of Sunday
morning. The possessor came forth from his
little cottage-he was wood-cutter by trade
and spent the whole week at his work in the
woods. He was come into his garden to gather
flowers TO stick in his coat when he went to
church. He saw the boy, and breaking off the
most beautiful of his carnations-it was streak
ed with red and white-gave it to him. Neither
the giver nor the receiver spoke word ; and
now, here at vast distance from that home,
after so many events of so many years, the feel
ings of gratitude which agitated the breast of the
boy, expresses itself on paper. The carnation
has long since withered, but now it blooms
afresh.-Douglds .JeTrod.

WEARING TIE CRoss.-The holy ensign Of
the Cross was often used in dress in order to com

have received.-In 1868, the father of the Doge
of Venice preferred always going bareh,aded to
pulling off his cap to his son, until the Doge
thought ofplacing cross in front of his cap.
The father then reassumed his cap, and when be
met his son pulling it of, saying, 4" 1t is not
him l salute, but the cross; " and from that time
the cross became an ornament ofthe ducal cap.
