An announcement Of amuch less 6attering kind,
but probably Of more genuine and honorable
nature, was published in 'BlackwoOd' some time
ago, which we append, as, like Landsesr's Dog
pictures, the two form capital pair illustrative
Of high and low life.

The matrimonial bait is so obviously q good
one, that Of late years we see advertisements Of
institutions, at which regular lists Of candidates
for the marriage state, both male and female, are
kept, together with portraits, and ledger in
which pecuniary aud mental qualifications are
neatly posted. The following scheme was for
warded to person who had answered an adver-
tisement enclosing as directed, 80 postage
stamps) in Loyd's Weekly journal, headed How
to make o. per week by the outlay Of 1O&:-
First purchase cwt Of large-sized potatoes,
which may be obtained for the sum Of As, then
purchase large basket which will cost say
another 49,, then buy 2S worth Of flannel blank
citing. and this will comprise your stock In trade
of which the total cost is los A large sized po
tato weighs about half a pound, consequently
there are 224 potatoes in a cwt
Take half the above quantity Of potatoes
each evening to a bakers, and have them baked
when properly cooked, put them in your basket,
well wrapped up in the flannel 10 keep them hot,
and sally forth and offer them for sale at one
penny each. Numbers will be glad to purchase
them at that price, and you will for certain be
able to sell half cwt every evening. From the
calculation made below, you will see by that
means you will be able to earn 2L per week.
The best plan is to frequent the most crowded
thoroughlares, and make good pseof your lungs;
thus letting people know what you have ior SAFE
You could also call n at each public house on
your way, and solicit the patronage o. tne GUS
