Poor thinga They haven't spoken
for these two wocks, because they feel
neglected. Only two of them are in
tho least jabilant, the rest are dumb as
rocks" How hare it goes to be reg

and hard to bear, when it falls upon
the heart of ono who has before been
the recipient Of kindness and plenty.
IT'S then that neglect comes like Il bit.

The other shelf that is not suffering
from neglect, acknowledges its happi-
ness as due to the kindness and agri-
cultural interest which belongs to Mr..
W. B. Waterson, who has laid upon it
the largest potatoe ofthe se~ason-larger
than any that have yet been brought
to the Home Journal Office. On this
account, the happy shelf is boasting
over its comrades. Like some men in
this world, it has allowed itself to be-
come arrogant, and unkiad merely be-
cause it happens to DO more fortunate
than its compeers. 1t forgcts previous

SIdNIFIcANr.-A gentleman a week
or two since advertised his farm in this
county for sale. Another gentleman
seeing the advertisement in the Home
Journal, went to make a trade for it,
but hesitating, a second gentleman, al.
80 seeing the advertisement, come in
town to Mr.. Stewart and took it at the
owners price. We tell you, if, you
want to sell your property, advertise it.
Scores Of people lake Our paper just to
sec what is for sale and who wants an.
thing and he who wants to sell or buy
anything, hides his light under q bushel
if he docs not advertise. That is the
talismanic word ofsuccess, depend up
on it. Remember, that written mott
tccs, which can scarcely be read, and
,often betray the writer's ignorance of
,orthography. and philology, are going
out Of date. We know lots of people
who never read such. Since printing
has become so cheap, people expect CIV.
cry thing to DO printed. 1t looks neat
or, is read by more and is more attract
i've. Besides, an advertisement in the
Home Journal isn't read by less than
two thousand persons every week.
There never was o hotter law for those
interested than that which requires
sales, &c. to be advertised.
Adrertise' That is the way people
get rich, and all our millionsires in the
world will tell you Q Look ct Bonnie
Astor, Girard, Noffat, Wood, Barnum,
and . host of others we could name.-
Advertise, through the paper, through
cards, posters-in all ways. Advertise.
