ADVERTISING.

The st Louis Republican, in con-
cluding a congratulatory notice OF
its prosperity and success, says Of
advertising:
The truth is, advertising has be-
come great feature in the business OF
the country. No merchant can better
understand this than those who en-
gage 10 it most extensively. The
prominent advertisements of our fan
cy goods dealers; and Of our whole
sale merchants, spread all over these
pages, bes: attest the estimation in
which they hold it. If they can
in this way secure reading by tens
ofthousands of persons every day, this
is just what they want. If they
can by SO easy process and so cheap
cost attract hundreds Of buyers to
their counters every day, what mat
tiers it to them that they pay few
dollars for doing it? But the mer-
chants are not the only persons bene-
fitted by advertising. Every one
who wants anything or has lost any
thing, every one engaged in any
business whatever, now resorts to the
newspapers to communicate with the
public. AS matter of course, every
man in search Of a particular object
or thing looks to the advertising col
umns of newspaper to find it; and
if there be any one SO stupid as not
to read those columns, he will never
keep up with bis neighbors, or the
progress Of the age"

A friend travelling in New Hamp-
shire, was so pleased with some ex-
cellent corn cake, that he was con-
strained to ask the old lady who placed
it on the table, the manner OF Its con-
coction. She was an odd character, SO
odd, indeed, as never to have found
her natch-a venerable maiden lady,
called .Senath,' who by her many
quaint expressions,had much enriched
the "King's English" She is the
author of that test of good indigo :
"Put the indigo into a bag and drop
it into rinsing tub, and if it's good
it will sink or swim, don't know
rightly which" This defniteness
characterized all her valuable knowl-
edge contributed to the art OF cookery.
Her recipe for corn cake is worthy
Of a trial by those good housewives
who can follow accurately the direc-
tions. Here it is:
II took, l don't know justly how
much, milk perhaps a pint or more
Like as any way it would have been
better if | had taken more--then put
in Indian meal enough to make 1t
lust right for hicknsss--dont want
it too thin-but / hadn't quite meal
enough, so I took the -four box and
thought I'd shake in a little Hour,
but il didn't come out quite last
enough, SO took off the cover and
poured it all right in about hall a
box full--that made it just right Tor
thickness. Then the saleratus l
guess 1 know justly how much there
was Of that, for l took up three times
on the end Of a spoon, and when "
put it into the milk it was all OF a
foam, and then ! yerked it into the
oven!r'

THE WORD "SELAH."

The translators of the Bible have
left the Hebrew word '.Seiab," which
occurs so often in the Psalms, as
they found it, and Of course the Eng
lish reader often asks his minister or
some learned friend what it means.
And the minister or friend has most
often been obliged to confess igno-
rance, because it is matter in regard
to which the mcst learned have by
no means been of one mind.
The Targums and most of the
Jewish commentators give the word
as meaning "eternally-forever =
Rabbi Kincbi regards it as to elevate
the voice. The authors of the SEP
tuagint translation appear to have re-
garded it musical sign, equivocal,
perhaps, to the word repeat. Aceor-
ding to Luther and Others it means
silence. Genius explains it to mean
"Let the instruments play, and the
singers stop" Wochem regards 1t as
equivalent to "sursem corda- up,
my soul!' Suvmer, after examining
ali the IA passages in which the word
occurs, recognizes in every case ian
actual appeal or summons to Jeho-
yah." They are calls and prayers to
be heard, expressed either with en-
tire directness, or, if not. the impera-
tive "Hear Jehovah, " OF ''awake. Je-
bovah!'' and the like still earnest ad-
dresses to God that be would remember
and hear, &c. The word itself he re-
garded as indicating a blast OF trum-
pets by the priests. Selah itself he
thinks an sbridged expression, used
for "Higgaion" indicating the s sound
ofthe stringed instruments, and oeiah,
of the vigorous blast of trumpets.

An Incident of SpirituaHsm.

i A long-bearded customer recently
entered spiritual book store in New
York city, and applied for an agency
He proposed to take large quantity
of books to his part of the country
"away out West," where he represent.
ed that he could soon sell them, as
he was assured by the ''invisibles.' ;
The enterprising bookseller was Of
course delighted with this prosp ect Of
a sale,-b his enthusiasm was some
what dampensd when the long bearded
gentleman remarked that he had no
money, and wanted the books entirely
upon a credit.
"Are you responsible?'' was the
natural inquiry Of the merchant.
Perfectly"
"What evidence of your reliability
can you furnish?'
81 have the best hackers men
whose names you know well. !"
The merchant S countenance bright
ened. "Very well" said he "let US
see your papers
Thereupon the customer presented
the following document:
"7o whom 1t may concern: We, the
undersigned, having been acquainted
spiritually with Mr.. Wlscon-
sin, for many years, recommend him
as perfectly reliable, and would not
be afraid to trust him to any amount.
"GEoRGE WASHINGTON,
THOMAS JEFFERSON,
HENRY CLAY,
THOMAS PAINE,
JOHN MILTON. and others,
Through Jane E.. medium
The bookseller remarked that the
hackers were good if the medium was
reliable; but he thought on the whole,
he would prefer to keep the books.
The customer hereupon denounced
the bookseller as an imposter, telling
him that be did not believe in his own
doctrines, and that the spirits would
expose his duplicity to the world.
Of this he felt assured by the spirit
of prophecy within him. The book
seller was not convinced.

A BosToN NoTIoN OF Honesty. .-1The
Boston Mercantile Reporter under
stands that a prominent ship builder IN
that vicinity has been in the habit OF
over measuring his ships for years,
thereby cheating those who purchased
them out of vast sums of money
The custom house officers who meas
ured them, suspecting no foul play,
generally had one Of the build ,I eI's
men to hold one end of the line while
they held the other, and the man
having received his instructions from
the builder, made the ship measure
as he was directed. This false meas
urement was considered official, and
was used by the builder to show the
government tonnage of the ships
when he offered them for sale. lie

$4,000 upon single ship. lie !

She was Fairer than the Blossoms.

She was fairer than the blossoms
On the:blooming orange tree,
And her face had all the beauty
Of an angel face to me.
Her cheeks were like lilies
In the sunsets rosy glow,
And her bosom shaned the whiteness
Of the winters purest snow.
When looked into the brightness
Of her dark madonna-eyes,
l could fancy was gazing
Down the walk of Paradise.
Her voice had all the sweetness
OF poets choicest rhyme,
An its music thrilled my spirit
While my heart was beating time.
But the radiance Of her glory
Has been darkened by cloud,
And over all my fancies
Floats the shadow of shroud.
She is dead and l am grieving
For the loved one lost to me,
Who was fairer than the blossoms
On the blooming orange tree.

THE ELECTION.

We would urge our friends, ih
view of the near approach Of the
election, to be active and energetic
during the time that remains for US
to work. Goaded by the despera-
ton of their position, our opponents
will remit no exer.ion to secure for
themselves every advantage, and
carry every point where there is the
least probability Of success, aud
even where defeat stares them in
the face Their hostility to our
cause is undying, and they would
struggle and boast in the face of the
most adverse signs. Witness their
absurd predictions id the late Presi-
deutial canvass. They then deceis-
ed their own friends by their fatal
Misrepresentation. Up to the last
hour, their organs claim ed victory
for Fillmore. New York, they told
US, was certain to cast her vote for
Mr.. Fillmore. Pennsylvania, they
set down as nearly certain, after the
October election, when it was demon
strated that Fremont had no
strength. Even Mr.. Bell, in bis
speech in Memphis, at the mass meet
ing, went into an elaborate calcula-
tion to prove that the Democracy
had exhausted their strength, in the
latter State, at the State election,
and that Fillmore would carry the
day in November California, New
Jersey and other Northern States
were set down as Fillmore States.
Many honest people were deceived
by these false predictions, and ac-
tually believed that the contest was
batween Fillmore and Bucbanan.--
The prophets themselves, generally
speaking, knew better They were
only playing game, in which au-
iaclts aud reeklessness were the 10.
struments of their vocation. The
people now have seen the utter unre-
liability of those whose loud boasts
hey credited as truthful, and the
ianger to be apprehended now is
hat our friends will not work rs
earnestly and constantly as they
you'd if they regarded the contest
is more doubtful. Let this not be.
let Us all work manfulIy and eff
'lentIy from now until the election,
nd let our first and strongest effort
'e to urge every Democrat to turn
'ut to the polls on election day and
10 his duty. All that We have to
ear Is q scanty vote. The only
hance of our opponents is based up
u this hope and upon swapping
iOtes. No true Democrat will swap
1t any portion of his ticket. Such
is contrary TO right, and
is benefits always inure TO our o..
'Onents. Let these things be pom
erred and acted on by ouI friends
uring the brief time from now an
il the election.
