We are enjoying all the pleasures which snow,

is anything but agreeable with US nov. The
snow covered peaks of the Blue Ridge which are
only a feS miles distant from our emp, look
sbiniugy grand as The rays Of the Spring sun fall
uprn (when the clouds open long enough) their
slopng, ragged and half timbeied sides, telling
us ibat we m y not expect warm days and dry

A WORD TO UNION MEN.-We must
remember that it is not so much our work
to labor for Mr.. Lincoln's reelection in
the manner customary to politicians-by
speeches, and tracts, and clubs-as to see
that he is sustained in his efforts to put
down the rebellion and restore the Union.
Our present concern is with General
Grant and the great army now before
Petersburg. Has he men enough to car
ry on his great campaign Have we
given Mr.. Stanton troops for his armies !;
and Mr.. Fessenden money to pay them ?

ANCIENT Cock FIeHTINa.-Some an
cient hawks hoods and a collection of
metal spurs for fighting cocks, (scientif-
cally), have been lately presented to the
Museum, with other objects of interest,
by the Rev. r. Brook, of Gateforth
House, in Yorkshire. The hawks hoods
are of embossed and gilt leather, with vel
vet eye pieces they have been surmount-
ed by silk tufts tied with gold thread, now,
of course, worn and. tarnished, after a
lapse of nearly three hundred years, for
their date goes back to time when hawk
ing was in great vogue, the latter years Of
Queen Elizabeth's reign; of nearly the
same period were the embroidered gloves
and hawking-pouch contributed to the
Loan Collection of 1852 by the Baroness
North. The cocks spurs form two sets,
in graduated sizes, each set consisting of
q dozen pairs, with theleathers for fasten-
ing them to the birds legs. They are of
metal and of steel silvered, evidently a
notable person in his day, about the mid
die of the last century. His advertise
ment, with quotation from poem de-
scriptive of cock-fighting, appears within
the lid of the velvet-lined case containing
one of the sets. They are exhibited in the

vision,

ADyBRr1s1Ne.-To advertise is one
thing, but to do it properly is another.
Advertising judiciously is an art even in
this advertising age, except in few in
stances, very imperfectly understood I; and
he thpt enters upon it with q niggardly
spirit will most assuredly be loser for
in all matters which require publicity, the
appeal to public notice should be contin-
ued until the desired object is attained, as
most assuredly it will be, if the advertise
ment be kept constantly, trustfully, and
persistently before the public. All the
great advertising businesses that now bring
princely fortunes to those engaged in them,
have been made what they are by unhag-
ging continuance in this course and many
could tell you that they have been often
upon the point ofrelinquishing the system,
because success did not seem Immediately
to favor them, but some friendly voice has
persuaded them that there was ga good
time coming" if they would "try little
longer" They did so, and the business to
which many have walked almost without
dollar, and encountered with debts, now
sees the proprietor driving to town, a
wealthy, Independent man. Hundreds
could tell you that this has been the case,
and will be again, if trade, goods, or ex-
hibitions are but properly and freely ad-
vertised, no matter in what form you do
it. 1t has ever been the most successful
game of the day, and so it ever will be
whilst society is in its present improving,
enterprising, go-ahead condition. Proper
ly done, advertising has nerer been a failure.

Ofsummer sights and languid eye;
Beyond the dusty village bounds,
Hotter in my daily rounds,
And In the noontide shadows lie.
Ihear the wild bee wind his horn,
The bird swings on the ripening wheat,
The long green lances of the corn
Are fitting on the wings of morn
The locust shrills bis song of heat. ~
Another sound my spirit hears,
A deeper sound that browns them all
voice Of pleading choked with tears,
Tho call of human hopes and fears.
The Macedanian cry of Paul.
The storm.beil rings, the trumpet blows;

Wherever Freedoms vanguard goes,
Where stand OF fall her friends or foes,
know the place that should be mine.
Shamed be the hands that idly fold,
And lips that WOO the reeds accord,
When laggard Time tho hour has tolled,
For true with false, and new with old,
To fight the battles Of the Lord.
