ADvERTIsISG.-The two first verses Of
the first chapter of the Chronicle of Success,
read thus:
"Who hath sadness! Who hath woe!-
Who 'shinneth' the streets with gloom OF
countenance and perplexity of mind? Who
loseth the confidence and patronage Of men,
and sinketh into poverty and forgeifullness!
He THAT ADvERTIsETH NoT-Hc that doth
not make himself known through the pa
Pers-He who, by his neglect in this matter
deprivetl himself of gain and secureth ID
himself loss! his business wisdom is foolish
ness. His lack of acknowledge, aye, his stingi-
ness stcketh out and the discerning shun
him.
"Who hath gladness? Who hath joy?-
Who hath growing business and full eof-
fers! Who payeth his notes promptly
who gaineth the confidence and patronage
OF men, and riseth to affluence! He THAT
ADvERTIsETH LIBERALLY-that through the
journals of the day maketh himse: aud his
business known! lie hath chosen the part of
wisdom, aud his riches and honor increase
like the light of the morning. His shadow
groweth broad. His complacency increaseth
His frame extendeth. His happiness endu-
reth, and he is honored and blessed of oil
men.
So mote il be.

BRowBEATISG WITEEss.-An Albany pa
per says, with truth, that there is no greater
outrage perpetrated under the forms and by
the sanction of law than the manner in which
counsel are permitted by our courts to abuse
witnesses. A witness upon the stand, let
him be whom he will, as honest, frank, and
truthful MS man ever was, seems to be regar-
ded by general understanding as target, at
which snappish, venomous and insolent coun-
sci may direct all the arrows of abuse. The
same kind oftreatment anywhere under heav-
en- out of court would be repelled by blow
or excite the use of raw hide. Reputable
and honorable men, too, sitting as judges
will permit such conduct, and ifa witness
has the moral courage to assert his rights,
will threaten him with punishment for con-
tempt.
