ENGLISH ADVERTISING. In tho Office OF
the London Times there is sort of a map,
which gives graphic representation OF the
Quotations in the circulation Of that Journal.
Il is like the sectional pro6les Of our rail-
roads and canals, an Increased circulation
being indicated by rise in the surface line
while falling OF in the circulation Is rep
resented by depression. During tho year
lsi5 the circulation Of the Times averaged
only q, 900, and il began tho year ls4S
with an edition Of no more than 20'0oo.-
The excitement consequent on the revolution
Of February, rsised il at once to 43,Voo.-
Il fell, however, with the fall Of liberty, and
averaged but $1,000 during 1852. The
long suspense proceeding the present war
gradually raised II until the war actually
broke out; aimee which time the edition has
tiactua.cd between 5000 and 6. 1000 copies
.saording an income from tho sale Of papers
alone, Of about s2s 900 per week. Adver-
,i.ements are, however, the great source OF
proft, as the cost Of the paper on which tho
Times Is printed nearly equals tho amount
received for il. Common advertisemen" 81

tude Of young men in this beautiful city
In no town In the world do the centres OF
allursmens and temptation bear such pro-
portion to the population. Extravaganza
in drc., eztravagance in living, dangerous
eItrayagance everywhere, is apparent to the
observer, nor need that observer wear Puri-
tanical glasses TO see what / allude to-
Perhaps it Is the insepaable incident Of the
marvellous growth Of this great city; and
that when things become settled, and the
more conservative institutions Of society be-
come established, their superior moral force
will cause all other elements and tendencies
TO revolve around the true central influences
Of society"
viii not young men take warning from
this melancholy case, and avoid the rock on
which Caldwell made shipwreck7 They
should realize that character is worth more
than money, and that pleasures purchased
at the sacrifice of morals and honor, are
bought too dear. Let those who would e.
cape the danger of dishonesty, avoid saloons
and gambling-houses, and the company Of
those whose ways take hold on hell. Let
clerks and Others who are entrusted with
money, never yield for a moment to the

in Albany, where the butter happened to b

A GOLDEN THouGIr. Nature will be TO
ported oil things are engaged in writing her
history. The plant goes attended by its
shadow. The rolling rock leaves its scratch
es on the mountain, the river its channel in
the soil, and the dead animal its bones in
the stratum; the fern and the leaf leave
their modest epitaph in the coal. The fall
ing drop makes its sulpturc in sand or stone;
not footstep in the snow or along the
ground but prints in characters more or les
lasting. a map Of its march; every act Of
man inscribes itself on the memories OF it
fellows, and its face. The Dir is full o.
sounds, the sky Of tokens the ground is oil
memoranda and signatures, and every object
is covered over with hints which speak tc

AZ Have Lived too Fast. "

Such was the exclamation Of the young man
Caldwell, who was convicted Of embezzling
money while acting as Conductor on the
Burlington Railroad, when he was arrested
and told that he had been detected. There
are volumes in that sentence, and il reveals
tho secret of his fall. He is q man Of fine
address, was ono OF the most popular OF
Conductors, had once good character and
good habits and was readily trusted, and
had occupied positions Of considerable TO
sponsibility. But he INDUCED his appetites
and passions too freely. he was e1traugant,
associated with worthless and disipated
companions, and If he did not gamble, was
compelled to exceed his income in his e1pen-
dituro, to preserve appeannces and to de-
fray his share Of the expenses OF the CON-
pany he kept; and, alas! in an evil hour
70 meet these drafts upon his purse, he ven
tured ON the experiment Of aPpropriating
10 himselfa portion of the funds of the
company which were entrusted to him, and
rs the result, was discovered, arrested, tried
convicssd and sentenced to the Pcnitentiary
Disgrace and ruin followed hard upon hi
ain. Ills case is but another illustration o
the text OF Scripture, :" The way Of tn
transgrcsor is hard"
