About Advertising.

An exchange makes the following ap-
propriate suggestions about Advertising
A mer hant who declines to give noto-
riety to his business by advertising vir-
tually declares that they desire the GUS
tom of the public, and the public, in the
aggl legate, being very sagacious iqdi-
vidual, seldom goes whcro he is not in
vited
A Few WORDS To.ooN READER5.-Al-
ways read advertisements. 1t is TO Jour
interest to do Sc. t."
In nine cases out of ten the most
honest, upright, trustworthy liberal deal
crs, those who advertise the most exten-
81 yely.
TO advertise is to cxpend money pru-
IDENTIFY. aad the most successful and lib
eral business men know it, and act ac-
cordingly.
Look over our advertising columns
daily, and buy of n one you do not find
there. Narrow minds and misers sell
dom advertise. The liberal, frank, ard
free always do.
If man does not think enough of
your custom to ask you for it through
your city paper he is unworthy of your
patronage.
When you find man who is too close
and stingy to advertise, you can safely
put him down as too selfish to deal gen.
erously, and very fairly or honestly.
Those who do not advertise ask the
largest profits and turn their money sell
dom.
Those who pever advertise sometimes
sell staple articles at current prices, but
they will skin you on articles where you
are not familiar with the prices.
You will save Money by dealing with
those who advertise, and refusing those
who do not.
Remember the above, and mover dcaI
with those men who do not advertise at
home.

A CUTE WIDOW. 1t is related that a

him and said; 1 leave my horse to my

obey. So in due time after the death Of

for your horse? inquired farmer Il
cannot sell the horse alone, she replied,
.but will sell you the horse and dog to-
getber at fair price for both. Give
me 800 for the dog, and 81 for the

The Lords Prayer.

The best of all prayers is undoubtedly
that which is commonly stiled the Lords
prayer. Itwas composed not by man
not by church-but by the incarnate
Word himself-nothing, consequently,
could be more excellent. 1t is adapted
to every capacity-it is simple-it is
short-it is inexhaustible. In it we pray
to the father of all mankind-we addres
him with the familiar affection of chill
dren-we acknowledge him to be in
heaven the Lord of all things we sane.
tify bis name-we glorify and submit to
his holy will-ask for the necessaries of
of soul and body-implore the forgive
ness of sin-pardon all who have injur-
ed us-and beg to be delivered from the
worst Of evils, the loss of the grace of
prayer.

Many good stories are told of old Dr.
Lawson, Presbyterian minister in
Scotland who was SO absent-minded
that he was sometimes quite iusensible
to the world around him.
One of his sons, who afterwards be-
came highly esteemed Christian minis
ter was tricky boy, and perhaps mis-,
chievous in his trick Near the mansion
lived an old woman, of Grabbed temper
and rather ungodly in her mode of liv-
ing. She and the boy had quarreled
and the rcsul. was that he took quiet
opportunity to kill one Other bens. She
went mmediate y to DR.. Lawson and
charged his son with the deed She was
belved, and as It was not denied punish
ment was inflicted. He was ordered to
abide in the house; and to make his sem
tence more severe his father took him
into the study, and commanded him to
sit there with him. The son was rest
less, and frequently eyed the door
At last he saw his father drowned in
thought, and quietly slipped out He
went directly to the old woman's and
killed another hen. returning immedi-
ateIy and taking his place in the library
his father having never missed him
The woman speedily made her appear
ance, and charged the slaughter again
upon him. DR.. Lawson, however, wax
ed augry-dcclared her to be a false ac-
cuser as the boy had been closeted with
him all the time-adding Besides,
this convinces me that you had just as
little ground for your first accusation;
| therefore acquit him of both, and he
may 90 out now" The woman went off
in high dulgeon, and the prisoner in
high glee.-Uu,per's Magazine.

Remembered Bliss.
BY GEO. u. PRENTICE.
Alas ! alasl I did not think,

Alas alas did not think,
Amid past hours of deep delight,
That aught could break the golden link
That then between us seemed so bright
We little dream what time may bring;
The heart is mysterious thing;
A change came DER thy gentle brow,
And We are but as strangers now.
Yet sometimes in my sadder moods,
Amid scenes of toll and strife,
And oft in woodland solitudes,
Afar from dark and busy life.
Thy image rises to my eye
As bright as in the days gone By;
Thy voice, low. musical and clear,
Steals like a spirit on my ear;
The vanished joys come wildly back
Along lircs dark and arid track;
Old thoughts within thy bosom stir.
And | am still thy worshipper.
The bird that DER my pathway flies,
The 1eeting vision of dream,
The star that lights awhile the skies,
Then turns away its silver beam
These. these are emblcms to my heart
OF what thou vast or what thou art.
The bird, the dream, the star are flown
And am left alone-alone;
Yet still lear with sweet delight
The song the bird sang in her flight;
The dream with all it's fairy train
Still hannts the chambers Of my brain
And oft when gaze afar
Through tears where bcamcd the van
isbed star.
1t seems again to burn on high.
The glory Of my cjoudcd sky,
And ON its lovely aisc | trace
The pictured image Of thy face,
And kneei in wors, ip as when first
Its cdcn-liglt upon nc burst.

SOME are not honest in buying or selling.
Their rule u.s. at all times, to buy as cheap as
they can, and sell as dear as they can. This
is a wicked rule We often trade with those
who do not know the worth of the thing
bought or sold. 1t Is cheating them to make
the best bargain we eau. Sometimes we
trade with those who are in great want, and
we fix our own prices and make them much
too high if we sell, or much too low if We
buy. There is fair price for everything
Let that be paid or taken for everything
He who is just and true, and who loves his
neighJor as himself, will soon find out what
fair price is. Almost all men use too many
words in buying and selling, and there is all
most always lie som ewhere.

Wit anb 9nmlor,
CrinOline-A Warming.

The following communication from the
pirit of cook who died martyr to crino-
inc is said to have been received dirct from
he spirit world through writing medium.
The advice which the troubled spirit gives
o our lady friends is good:
send you this here message,
+. For you think upon,
And ponder well my sisters dear,
Before you're dead aud gone.
And for solemn warnin'
now will let you know,
How twas one April mornin',
Your sister cum to go.
1 lived with Madam Whirlabouts,
And how did admire
Her comprehensive petticoats,
They were stuck out with wirel
Twas just like what cage is
They call it crinoleen:
So l laid up my wages
ana Dought me machine.
To get tbe ready hang of it
Was rather hard at first
tripped up two old gentlemen!
Oh, how they swore and cursd.
Ran foul of Madam Squires
Just going out to dine;
And cotch'd my leg betwixt her wires
And her'n got cotchd in mine.
And once tripp'd Frenchman up
1t gin me such fright.
We both cum down, and him Oh top,
III say he was perlite.
For when sez, Excuse me, cir,
hope I've done no harm
Nothing partculairc, sez he,
You've only broke my arm.
The use Of such thingembob
I'm sure do not know;
Unless as our Jerusha sez,
Twill serve 70 hide a bo.
To death how brief the passahe is,
Its torments, oh how dire !
As was.cookng sau6agcs,
My rggin cotch'd afre.
OF course l dropped the frying pan,
The fat wa. in tho fire
screeched, and in Jerusha cum,
But daresn't come no higher.
So there she stood, and see mo burn
Tho good for-nothing queen!
Afeard the fire would catch on hern
For hern was crinoeen.
So out she ran to call the man
He heer'd my horrid screams
Come quick to your Rebecker Anu,'
1t was my lover Jeems.
But all his efforts was in vain
He did the best, no doubt
But for the wire, all around the fire,
He might have put it out
So, for my sake, this warnin' take.
For thus it was | died
And don't be seen in crinoleen,
When sausaees is fried!
