We have known odd people who would not
gather their philosophical fodder in accustomed
paiha, but preferred "prospectng" in unusual
localities They have professed to find, as the
reward of their enterprise, more homely instruc-
ton, to say nothing of amusement, in the adverts
ipg columns Of daily newspaper than in al the
foios Of all the philosophers from Plato to Professor
Bowen. To ssy nothDg of the financial, economi
CAL scientific ard literary "piles" which may thus
be "reAized," We remember TO have heard
preacher emit an entertaining sermon upon the
morality Of advertising which was much relshsd,
especially by the printers of bis congregation.
These announcements, in the largest sense, indicate
the wants ard supplies of society, with al the cum
ming which turks in the smbush Of an Obscure sug
ge.titn or a ,pecious preteDse for wide-mouthed
cre1uty to spsp at. We have noticed in this

readings. The midwife jostes the undertaken;
the borrower is in close company with the lender;
tie s,irt dealer is arm in arm with the temperance
lecturer; while the preacher and the player march
together through the motley masquerade. We have,
in our time, observed numerous droll condolences
ard have laughed at them; but en.erprisng spoth
tcsry in the sunny City Of Pensscol, has furnished
us with a suggestion which may be regarded either
as grave or gay, at the pleasure of our readers.
