BUSINESS AND ADvERTIsING.-The in
seperable relation of business and adver-
Using should be kept constantly in view
at all seasons and under all circumstances.
The columns of the Bay Book, with its
immense and steadfastly increasing circu-
culation, afford to the people of Norfolk
and Portsmouth, an advertising medium
enjoyed by few other cities in Virginia,
and can always be proftably employed
by the enterprising. Convenient and
familiar to everybody, it is universal adj
vertising medium Of the utmost possible
value
MAYORS CoURT.-Henry, a slave of
Mr.. Etheridge was arrested by Messrs

House, and last night seven applied for
the same. They were accommodated on
both occasions.
VARIETIES There will be a gresA
time at the Varieties tonight. The per-

ginal conundrum, and tin Cup for the
worst original conundrum. We hone
that whoevever gets the Cups will make
speech on the occasion. We indulge
the hope that the house will be full, as it
is Miss Cordelia's benefit. Set your wits
to work boys.

TRIh; MAGIC OF WORDS.
BY &. .. ARTECR.

Peter Crandall WAS not All illsnatured,
captlous. or fault-inding man; and yet the
home of Peter Crandail was not a happy
homo. Very little sunshine streamed in
acr"s, the threshold. Was it his wife b
iault? A visitor who saw her in her usual
mood, might, If his conclusions We're made
from first impressions, learn TO this opin-
ION. She inclined to fretfulues aud impa-
tience; and often scolded the children W hen
her husband should see little in them to
blame.
The Crandalls were poor. Mr.. Gran
dali was mechanic, and earned only me-
chanic's wages. Mrs. Crandall was the
mother of five children, the oldest of them
thirteen years old but their narrow in
come left nothing to spar for the hire Of
II domestic, aud 50 all the work fell upon
her. She WAS sick and weary at the dy-
ing Of each day; n I'd the same, although not
to an equal extent, might he said of her
husband He had more strength for his
work, and, therefore. could endure greater
fatigue. He had tLe advantage, too,
which was Il o't important one-of free
dUn from causes Of nervous excitement,
and the inevitable exhaustion that fol-
lowed. He labored on at one kind of
work, uninterrupted, All day long; while
she was subject to- perpetual and annoying

Between Peter Cr;tpdalI and his wife
there did not seem to exist much atfec ton
They never spoke loving words, nor man

The little courtesies q: life were something

Rude, boisterous, quarrlscrne, the chill

house that was uncomfortable enough with

beams came not across the threshold into

dali obtained brief glance into some
other homes; and as the pleasant vision
passed, sigh would disturb his bosom.
Light and Warmth were there.
Something was wrong in his own home;
that he had felt for greet while aud he
did not wholly blame his wife But the
exact location of the wrong he could never
clearly perceive. In the beginning ii was
different. Then there was warmth, in the
heart, and sunshine in the face of his wife

There is nothing more pleasant to the

sight of these b, autilul ornaments TO tho

fine instinct Of our nature that any such
aci calls forth delightful feelings OF an,ici-

shade trees arotind their houses and along
the entire front of thei: farms. In doing
this it is advisable To select the most beau
tiiul and useful varieties. Here it Is that
many fail. IL takes as long for an inferior
tree to grow as one of the finest that ma
ture affords, while the trouble uf pian,iDsf
is the same. By little attention every
house can be surrounded by The gay tre:

What can be more beautiful then a row of
cherry. In the Spring they bio som, she'd

reness of winter they present a lovely coa
trast. The fruit soon brings the warblers

their love notes. Birds are also most II Sc

Their brilliant plumage and blythe songs
will afford us more pleasure around our

Cherry trees are are of rapid growth,
were more used than the diminu;ive and
useless varieties we see in their place,
our general wealth would be greatly in
creased.
