Advertising.

There are but few people who understand
the law of advertising. The few who do un-
derstand it invariably succeed and amass for
tunes. There is not a solitary exception to
this rule. The law of advertising, clearly
understood and obeyed, enables the advertis-
er to realize the abounding truth there is in
one of the proverbs of Solomon: There is
that scattt reth and yet increaseth." And
he who misunderstands the law of advertis-
ing, or fails to give obedience to it, will sure
ly realize the other half of the same proverb ::
"There is thai witholdelh more than is meet.
but it tendeth to poverty" Advertising to
be successful as means of business, should
not be spasmodic or Intermittent, but con-
tinuous. Persevered in. it always Yields re-
ward. There is no such word as fail to the
persistent advertiser. And he who expects
results from single advertisement which
has had but two or three insertions, and is
then withdrawn, is no more reasonable than
a man would be to expect favorable results
from taking his shutters down three DAYS in
month, and keeping the shutters closed the
remainder of the time; or than the man who
shroads his 81 sn OF business except on some
particular days and at long intervals of
time.

The Japanese Mode of fCrucifixiOn.

The victim is fastened to the cross mot
nailed) by the hands and arms, and by an
iron ring passing round the neck. so as to
keep the head in an erect position: and a
sharp lance then driven into the heart exlir-
guishes life in Il moment Such was the
death which the martyrs were now to endure
and, lying each upon his own cross, they
waited for the moment when they were to be
lifted up on high. Troops had been arrang-
ed around the foot of the hill in order to
prevent any but the nearest relations of the
martyrs from approaching the spot; but the
vast plains, extending from that point of the
city, were thronged by dense mass of peo-
pie come to witness the execution. At first
solemn silence regned throughout that
mighty multltude-every heart and eve was
fixed upon the fatal spot; but when at a Civ
en- sign the crosses were raised. and the mar
tyrs were soon hanging, each from his own
cross. with an executoner at his side ready
to strike the fatal blow, the feelings of nature
could 10 longer be repressed; and from the
plains below there arose a mournful CRY, tha,
reached even the ears of the diving saints
They responded not to the lamentation on
the contrary, Father Baptist began the "Ben-

others took up the strain, and continued i,

asked Father Baptist to sing with them ,he

until their innocent voices were hushed in
death. They were all struck neally at the
same moment, and all met their fate with the
same courage and constancy as from the be.

The LOathsOmeness of LeprOsy.

The lepers Of the East are the most loath-
some objects that meet the travellers eye
Here is description of one, given in letter
from Jerusalem, by a correspondent of the
Morning Star:
Suddenly there starts up human being
at your feet. You stop in horror. You turn
away In disgust at the sight. But still she
throws herself in your path, and will not 60.
The hair and eyebrows have fallen from the
poor beggar. Through yawnins sores, that
are fostering and black, protrude the cheek
bones. The flesh is torn away from the
glistening teeth! What feet. They are dis
torted masses Of sores-saping wounds. The
hands which she holds up are evidently drop
ping away, joint by joint, as the disease grows
upon them. Nearer she moves those shrlv-
elied arms and legs, drawing their rags about
them, and smiling at your horror with a
ghastly, sickening smile. She tries to speak,
and, with fascination strangely peculiar to
whatever is perfectly lovely or awful, you
bend down to hear her. There is a hoalse

with that hideous being? How deep are
those black eyes! Her gentle voice is full
of music, as a lark at sunrise, and her lips
are as a new blown rose. Her long hair falls
with the folds of her head dress half way
down to her chubby bare feet, and there is a
lightness in her step that fills you with ad-
mration. Would you know who she iss

no possible hope. There is a worm at the
heart of that rosebud. Is not her voice more
sad than her parents, though gently and
sweetly she smiles as she SAYS, "Allah, Buck
seech, Howajii.'
DO you see those wretched novels Just
west from the gate of Jerusalem, clinging to
the side of the wall ? Dirt and filth surround
them. Their thatched roofs seem about to
fall. 1t is the leper's quarter. The law for
bids their touching YOU or mingling with O.
ther men, so that none go to minister to
them. But the law does not rebuke their
wants, and so they throw themselves in your
path, as their ancestors, the lepers of Sama-
ria, did boldly through hunger approach the
Assyrian camp. They recognize no law a
mong themselves, not even the form of mar
riage. Passion consumes the finer feelings,
and rules their souls just in proportion TO
the leprosy which is ever increasing on the
body. Their offspring inherit a curse-no
joy-no hope. only curse-cursed by the
world and by their parents, they soon learn
to curse themselves
