A SIGN OF APPRoACHlNe DIssoLU1fON.--We
were asked the other day by a wealthy old
farmer, who takes the papers, if a certain
firm (naming it) were not closing up their bust
ness. We told him we guessed not, and in
quired why he asked such question, as the
| house referred to is by some considered one of
the heaviest houses in town. "Why," says he,
"they don't advertise in either of the papers,
and just concluded they were closing up"
just go, business men that don't advertise are
supposed to be "closing up" and are never
aware of how much they are losing, until they
find their wide-awake advertising neighbors
have got all the trade. Advertise, or take
back seat, or give up the ghost CircleriUe

ENGLISH IMMIGRANTS. The, Wheeling Times
in an article on the great increase of foreign
immigration, remarks: Gone Of its most stri-
king features is the largely increased number
of Englishmen and Scotchmen, whose emi-
grating conntrymen have, until recently, pre-
terred Australia and Canada to the United
States, but who now almost out-number the
Irish, who have always given the preference
to this country" He adds "The English
can scarcely be called foreigners. They are
our own race and blood, nation, like our own,
| of freedom and of law; indeed, all the freedom
and law we have, which are likely to last, wo
received from England. The English are blood
| of our blood and bone Of our bone; it is not
more than mans life time since we belonged
to the same national family: and forgetting the
| past, we hope to see both sitting in peace
and harmony under the same Republican vine
and fig tree"
| FEMALE DELIcAcY.-Above all other fea-

good taste. Not that delicacy which is per-
petually in quest of something to be ashamed

! at the false construction its own ingenuity has

kind of delioacy is far removed from good

maintains its pure and undertaking walk alike
among women and tho society of men; which
shrinks from no necessary duty, and can speak
! when required with a seriousness and kindness
Of things on which it would be ashamed TO
smile or blush; that delicacy which knows how
to confer benefit without wounding the feel
ings of another, which can give aims without
assumption, and pains not the most susceptible
