portant bill in the United State Senate

slaves in that State. It. provides for
compensated to that State, upon the

whole amount of the bonds prepared
and delivered on the passage Of the

instalments, dating from the passage
of the act to the time when slavery
shall cease The faith Of the United

SENSIBLE MANA successful business man
who has triad it, writes with regard to adycr-
tising-"Give me the field when few adver>
tisers occupy it, and care not how hard the
times are. 1t pays mo at all times, and espec-
tally it pays me when most Of the business men
in nv line have taken their hooks out of the
water, thinking no bites are to be had" That
ia the truth exactly,
Those merchants who think they cannot af-
ford to advertise, because their neighbors do
not, have very confused idea of what is for
their own interests. Our best advertising pat>
rons for the past year, are those who have done
the business. While their competitors have
complained of the hard times and want of bus
mess, they have bsen thronged with customers.
