Rules Tor Improvement,

Never shrink from an unpleasant
duty.
Be charitable in thought as well as
action.
Battle every morning and take
plenty Of exercise.
Be open for correction; if you are
in the wrong, frankly acknowledge it.
Be VirtuOus in mind and body, and
let your thoughts be pure.
BE useful for the love of use, and
not fer the credit of being useful.
Improve yourself by the means in
your power, mentally and physically.
In time of danger and trouble,
think first and then act cody and de
cisively.
Never be prejudiced, or allow your
self TO be led, without first judging for
yourself.
In study, concentrate your thoughts
and ideas solely upon the subject be
fore you.
Never BE- idle; always have some
thing to do. Remember, moments
are the golden sands of time.
Always get up when you first wake
in the morning-One hour Of that
time is worth two at night.
Do everything in a cool, active
and energetic manner, never allow
lazy feelings 10 come over you.
A spirit of kindness is beautiful in
the aged, lovely in the young, and
indispensable to the comfort and hap
pinesS of family.

ADVERTISING. - The Louisville
journal never printed more sen
sibIe paragraph than the following :
We said the other day, that I" the
man who doesn't advertise his bust
ness. advertiseS that he has none to
ADVERTISE This wasn't said for the
mere sake of epigramatic point, but
because It is TO "a very great extent
true. and is generally received as
truth by the community. A person
wishes to purchase articles where
they are advertised as for sale; he
doesn't think it worth his while to
hunt around for them at random
among dealers, who. from not adver-
Using them, are presumed not to have
them. In all such eases, the news
paper is justly regarded as the best
business guidc-book.

city have, one aft,r another, and
that rapidly, gone down the tide of
time. The only good sign in that
quarter is the fall of gold from fifty
to forty; but sagacious mercantile
men are looking Out for breakers
ahead. There is not as much money
in the city now as there was at this
time one year ago. Take this along
with the fact Of the lost crop, the
stringancy Of the money market,
thp ominous failures in New York,
and it is apprehended that by Febru-
ary next there will be grand crash
and crisis. Prudent men are nus
banding their resources, and to such
an extent that it is almost impossible
for any one seeking business in this
. city to obtain employment. On that
point. I would say that he who stands
the best chance for employment is he
who understands bookkeeping. The
wholesale grocery stores and the dry
goods stores are doing good bust
ness. | know one wholesale grocery
which frequently sells as much as
twenty thousand dollars worth of
articles per diem: but other mer-
chants aud professions are barely
making bread and meat. The print
inc Offices are full to overlooking.
One editor told me recently that he
had seventeen persons on his staff !
The Times is doing a good business,
and 50. | believe, is the Commercial
Bulletin The Picayunc still holds
its own. But | suspect that ere long
most Of these newspapers will begin
to take in sail, and prepare for the
Gulf squall.
In the literary department, the
Times and the Crescent are both
striving to combine literature with
politics. The Times has recently
finished Il story, by Mrs. Whitaker,
wife OIL X Whitaker, one of its
editorial corps. 1t is a beautiful
story, and is, | am told, in the hands
OF Northern printer for publication.
The new Magazine, called the "South-
western,' has been issued and is
IaV0raAlE spoken Of by the press of
this city. What its ultimate fate will
be, | cannot pretend to surmise, hut
hope that the proprietor will finally
smmoant the difficulties that lie,
like a lion, in the path Of all such I'M
dertailiugs.
