Why DoE'r you ADvKRTIsE.-To
those who are complaining of the Sc
verify of the times, we address this in
quiry: Why don't you advertise? 1t
is just the thing to help you out of your
dificulties-to relieve you from existing
embarrasments-to save you. There
is no mistake about it, and the demon
strations which have been made within
your own observation, within the last
seven years, by those who have adyer-
tised extensively, prove the fact that ad-
yertising is the sure road 70 fortune
Do you say you have not the means to
meet the expense, and cannot afford to
do it? You cannot afford not to do it.
There is the difficulty. If you have
not the means make haste and get them
send lot of musty goods to auction
-or try your credit. Your increased
sales and additional profits win enable
you not only to pay your advertising
bills, but save you from destruction,
and inspire confidence in your creditors
and the public. But should this expec-
tation not be fully realized, you can
hardly be worse off than you are now.
Nothing risk, nothing Win.' You
know that large fortunes have been
made by adyertising-and you also
know that no man ever advertised ex-
tensively and thoroughly that did not
succeed. Those who are doing business
must advertise or fall 1t is true that
advertising may not, save all who are
embarrassed, for there are some whom
even advertising. however potent, can
not now save; but it will save many
all who are hopelessly insolvent-it viii
save hundreds who are doomed to GER
tain failure without it.
There is no sense in standing idle
no sense in brooding over existing ills
the true way is to commence war upon
them-and do it through the means
and agency of the Press. which is truly
and emphatically the mighty lever Of
the business world and you know it,
Advertising is the grand remedy. Cast
your bread upon the waters and in
short time it shall return to you again.
We ask no man to advertise for the sake
of the Press, but for his own sake to
save himself from bankruptcy, and his
family from penury and want. The
Philadelphia merchants and manufac-
turers are advertising vastly more than
ours are and the consequence is their
trade is better than ours. Many of our
business men appear to be paralyzed;-
they are panic-struck and trembling in
their shoes. ...-
They are wondering what is to be-
come of them, instead of laying hold of
the lever which alone can save them
ruin stares them in the face! To all
such we say, advertise-advertise at
once; let it be the first thing you do. If
you are too far gone it may not save
you. 1t is, in fact the only thing you
can do and hope to weather the storm.
Then be about it at once; the engine
can be set in motion.
The experiment is worth trying, is it
not? 1t is the last chance of the bust
ness men who are in distress for more
and better customers. Why should any
one hesitate to resort to it?

AxEcDorE OF GENERAL PUTNAM
Among the worthless who fourished
during the era of the American Revo-
luton, perhaps there was none posses
sing more originality of character than
Gen. Putnam, who was eccentric and
fearless, blunt in his manners, the dar.
ing soldier without the polish of a gen.
tleman. He might well be called the
Marion of the north, though he dis.
liked disguise, probably from the fact Of
his lisping. which was very apt to over.
throw any trickery he might have in
view.
At this time strong hold, called
Horseneck, some miles from New York,
was in the hands of the British. Put.
nam, with a few sturdy patriots was
lurking in the vicinity bent on driving
them from the place. Tired of lying in
ambush, the men became impatient,
and importuned the General with ques-
tons as to when they were going to
have bout with the foe. One morning
he made speech something to the fol-
lowing effect, which convinced them
that something was in the wind.
Fellows, you have been idle too
long, and SO have 1. I'm going to
Bush's, at Horseneck, in an hour with
an OK team and a load of corn. If ]
come back well let you know the par
ticulars. If Ishould not, let them have
it, by hoky.'
He shortly after mounted his OK cart,
dressed as one of the commonest order
of Yankee farmers, and was at Bush's
tavern, which was in possession of the
British troops. No sooner did the Of
ficers espy him than they began to ques-
ton him as to his whereabout and find
ing him complete simpleton as they
thought, they began to quiz him, and
threatened to seize the corn and fodder.
"How much do you ask for your
whole concern?" asked they.
"For mercy sake, gentlemen" re-
piled the mock clodhopper. with the
most deplorable look of entreaty, "only
let me of and you shall have my hull
team and load for nothing and if that
wont dew, I'll give you my word I'll re-
turn tomorrow, and pay you heartily
for your kindness and condescension."
"Well," said they, "we'n take you at
your word; leave the team and pro-
vender with us and we won't require
any bail for your appearance"
Putnam gave up the team and saun-
tered about for an hour or so, gaining
all the information he wished; he then
returned to his men and told them of
the foe, and of his plan of attack.
The morning came, and with it sailed
out the gallant band. The British were
handled with rough hands. and when
they surrendered to Gen. Putnam, the
clodhopper, he sarcastically remarked:
Gentlemen, l have kept my word.
l told you l would call and pay you for
your kindness and condescension."

~A woman condemned to death in
the reign of Richard ILL.,, lived forty
days without food or drink. A young
lady, 16 years of age, is mentioned in
the Edinburgh Medical Essays, who
was thrown into such violent tetanus, or
rigidity of the muscles, by the death of
her father, that she was unable to swal-
low for forty-four days. A still more
extraordinary account is related of a
man who, on recovering from fever,
had such dislike to food of all kinds,
that for eighteen years he never tasted
anything but water.

| SELLING DRY GooDS.-PeOple gen.
orally think that it is a very easy mat.
ter to stand behind counter and re-
tail dry goods, but weeks experience
in the business would convince the
cleverest man, that it is much more diff
fcult and laborious than the task OF
turning a grindstone twelve hours per
Iiem.
The Office of a salesman embodies,
in its duties, necessarily the shrewdness
of politician, the persuasion of lover,
the politeness of Chesterfield, the pa
tience of Job and the impudence of a
pickpocket. There are statesmen who
make it point never to lose customer.
One of the gentlemen who is in store
in Chatham street, not long since, was
called to show very fastidious and
fashionable lady, who dropped in
while going to Stewards, some rich silk
cloaking. Every article of the kind
was exposed to her view-the whole
store was misunderstanding suited
The costly was stigmatized as trash
everything was common and not fit for
a lady. She guessed she would go to
Stewart's. The salesman pretended to
be indignant.
Madam, said he, in a tone of injured
innocence, have very beautiful and
rare piece of goods-a case which 1
divided with Mr.. Stewart, who is my
brother in-law, but it would be useless
to show it to you-it is the only piece in
the city.
The salesman who was now watched
in breathless silence, by his fellow
clerks, proceeded asif with much reluc-
tance, and with expressions of fear that
it would be injured by getting tumbled,
to display an ancient piece of vesting.
which had been lying in the store for
FIVE years, and was considered unsalea-
BILE. The lady examined and liked it
much. That was piece of goods that
was worthy to be worn
How much was it yard?
Twenty-Five shillings.'
'Ohl that is very high
There exclaimed he, beginning to
fold it up. i knew you would say
that
'Stayl stay! don't be in so great
hurryP she cried-'I'll give you twenty
shillings.'
Madam, you insult me again
Cut me of--yards, and you can
make the deduction on some velvet
which l require for trimming almost
entreated the fair shopper
The salesman after much persuasion,
sold the lady the vesting for which they
had in vain sought to get FIVE shillings
per yard, at the price above indicated.
The profits of the sale on vesting and
velvet amounted to s33 out of which
the clerks were permitted to pay for an
oyster supper. The best of this brief
tale of dry goods is to be told. The
lady had her cloak made, and one or
two of her friends delighted with it,
bought the yesting at the same price.
There is a moral to this anecdote
which we leave to be discovered By the
ingenuity of our lady readers who oc-
caslonally go shopping--Nodhs Mes.

A gentleman from the country, who
had been in Port Gibson some time
during the first week of the epidemic
and was riding home at pretty smar
gait. was brought up by man running
out of his house and inquiring:
Say, have they got the lale yellow
fever in town. -
'Oh, yes. There's no doubt of that,
1 reckon, was the answer.
And is it fact they've got the quar-
antine long with it, I'll swar, it's bad
enough to have one disease, without
havin' another to help it along!'
This filed the gentleman on the road
too full for utterance, and putting the
switch to his horse, he was off to make
the woods resound with his pent-up
laughter. Reaching his destination he
must tell it to friend, plain honest
hearted man, who, however, had neg

was too good to keep, and so he re-
lated it.
