To Business Men .

In recommending people TO advertise
weekly, monthly, yearly, perpetually, the
Grand Rapids Inquirer gives the following
reasons:
1st. II gives the appearance Of desire
TO do business upon fair and liberal terms.
I'd. 1t is compliment 10 the community,
i'll the nature OF an invitation, 10 call and
see you, which they will generally accept,
either out of curiosity or oht Of gratitude for
the trouble Of telling them where they can
find the articles they may be in search Of
In either case you may make trade if you
are reasonable.
I'd. To advertize literally, to have your
name continually before the public in con-
neclion with your business, shows that you
are not ashamed ofyour business.
4lh. 1t looks like enterprise, and most
people prefer dealing with enterprising men
rather than crusty old fogies who stand be-
hind their counters or workshop, sulky de-
Tying the world to deal with them, if they
choose, or dare leave 1t alone.
9th. 1t supports wspspers, which in re-
turn afford immense benefit to humanity.
Ifthese reasons are not sufficient, we ask
our readers to look at the fact, that while
hardly any man fourishes without adver-
Using, those who advertise the most are the
most hourishing.

NEGRo PROPERTY ON TIE FRoxriEKs.-
Last Monday 4 number of negroes were
sold at Independence 10 the highest bidders,
and The prices are such as TO show strong
er confidence in this sort of property than
has existed for some time past. Some
Baston merchants were in Independence
during the sale, and they expressed their
astOnishment at the figures at which the
darkies were knocked of. Ons Of them re-
marked that he had been led 10 believe iha;
negroes were mere drug in thi. part Of
Missouri; that everybody wanted to sell
and nobody willing 10 buy. On the con-
trary, he found negroes earnestly sought
after by the farmers and mechanics, and
the most eztrsvagant prices paid. Among
the sales We have memoranduns Of the fol-

DIED

On the End, SUSAN MARTHA, daughter Of Evans
and Martha L. Price, aged q years, IL month:
and 25.days.
sMourn not for her, she is at rest,
Far, far beyond the starry skies,
Where gathering clouds no longer dim
The sunlight OF her beautious eyes;
There, with the glorious, blood-washsd band
She dwells in love and union sweet.
Where comes no more the sad farewell,
Nor mournful sound Of parting feet.
The bloom of health was on her cheek,
The hight of hope Humid her eye.
She looked like one too pure 10 live,
Too bright and beautiful to die.
But the relentless spOler came,
And touched her with his blighting hand,
And like bird, from prison free.
She passed into the splrit land.
Mourn not for her, she was too pure,
Too frail for this bleak world of ours;
And God has kindly called her up,
To bloom amid celestial bowers;
There, with the saints in glory crowned,
Before her Fathers throne she stands,
With songs of glory on her lips,
And palms Of victory in her hands.
Sweet spirit Dos't thou ever bend,
From thine eternity above,
To guard thy lov'd ones lingering here,
Aid giid their pathway with thy love?
Be thou beacon light, to guide
Their banks across life's surging sea,
A bright and beautious star, whose beams
Shall hight them 10 eternity.
Ye stricken ones! Forget your grief,
Your lovely child has fled 10 heaven,
Where parting words are heard no more
And loves bright link is never riven.
She is flower in Paradise,
A jewel on her Saviour's brow,
Your loss Is her eternal gain,-
weep not, she is an Angel now" NJ.

The Legislature.

The St. Louis Express, democratic pa
per, is down on the Legislature for the
passage Of The free negro bill. Ii conclude,
by drawing the following picture Of SONS
Of The assembled wIsdom;-
Those who have ever visited Jefferson
City during session Of the Legislature,
and noticed the devotion with which our
wise law-givers apply themselves to whis-
ky and eraw-poker, will be prepared for
eny legislative enormity in Missouri
With our "reminiscences Of Jefferson City,
and the impression still remaining in our
mind, of the ''assembled wisdom" We are
really surprised at their moderation, and
that instead OF eXpatriating, they did not
burn the entire free negro population, and
play poker for their property.
The people OF ST. LOUIS have not very
frequent opportunities of seeing the mem
bers Of the Legislature. At Christmas
times during the recess for. the holidays,
SEINE Of them occasionally iurD up st the
fashionable conrerSazl0nes hold in Mozart
Hall, or render themselves very entertain
ing about midnight, by becoming enshusi-
astic and voeferous in the classic precinis
Of Poplar street, and appearing bare-headet
al the Planters House little before day.
light. Excesses in legislation fron gentle
men who are given 10 such like social &C.
centricities, are not 10 be wondered ct; and
We are disposed 10 attribute their recent
action on the Free Negro Bill rather to
their indulgence in the bad whisky which
prevails in Jefferson at the latter part Of The
session, than TO their constitutional inhu-
manly.
