read the advertisements and learned what goods
are in the market, what firms have dissolved, what
new ones are on foot. what new enterprises are be-
ing started, and whatever of other intelligence
comes under this special department The idea
that the advertising columns of paper are devoid
of interest to all save buyers and sellers is grossly
mistaken notion. 1t is history, and as such it in
terests every one.
The philosophy of advertising is founded in ex-
cellent reason A card that will cost merely NOM
inal sum tells thousands of people that MI. Mer-
chant has certain article of produce or goods.
Among these thousands of readers who are thus
notified, there are always few who happen to be
in want of the article, and if sale is not made it
is no fault in the system which puts it before the
public. If only one merchant is a city advertiser,
he would doubtless do about all the foreign trade;
and in the same ratio will the merchant who adver
tises most literally be known abroad. The mere
fact of having his name and business in the paper
gives him circulating signboard, which meets the
eye Of numbers of people who could not otherwise
be reached The rra"ti"A ia profitable and respect
able, and in nine cases out Of ten produces four
fold profit on all money invested it
The secret of the success of our wealthiest and
most prosperous business men is uncovered By the
fact that they use the newspapers freely, yet judi
ciously They know when and In what manner to
advertise, and consequently every line they put p-
to the papers is as "bread cast upon the waters"
it will return unto them laden with benefits.

Dame Agatha waited to hear no more. In hel
exultant joy, she threw herself upon Guiscard'E

her excess of Joy, she laughed and wept by turns.
She at once adopted the conclusion, as an incon,
trovertible article of faith, that the evil destiny,
which had rested upon the family 50 long, was now
removed and that the descendants Of the line SO

homes the beautiful and young, undismayed by the
fate that had rested upon them so long.

The trick of advertising was invented somewhere
over 200 years ago, and Of course the first one ap

How FALSE REPORTS MAY ORIGINATE. Gu
rious illustration of this is found in an anecodote
told in the lecture of Mr.. Spurgeon: A minister
lived opposite one Of the deacons of his church
report got abroad that the minister had been seen
to beat his wife and the matter was brought before
a deacon's meeting There the minister said he had
traced the spreading of the report to the deaeo9s
daughter. The good man, the deacon, said d,l,e ne
would not have spoken, but his daughter name m
having been mentioned, he must then state he did
see Through the window blind of the lighted room)
the minister beating his wife, and heard her scream
The minister was nonplused but he requested that
bis wife might be sent for and questioned. When
she arrived she explained the whole matter. she 81
said Don't you recollect there was rat in the
room that night, that it got upon my dress that you
got frightened, and took up the poker; that could
not stand still, and ran around the room, you run
ming after me with poker. This is the explana-
ton of the whole affair" Well then, the lecturer
would remark to his hearers, the next time they
heard story against good man. let hfp say as
and that some simple explanation may account for
the whole thing.

BY WILLIE LIGHTHEART.

She met him in the balmy June
Opity it was so!
While wand'r ring oer the meadows sweet,
Where the meek-eyed daisies grow.
And the tell-tale blush came DER her face,
And the yearning heart beat high,
AS the stranger passed, with courtly bow,
The fair young maiden by.
She fastened home with fearful eye
pity it was SOL
To the little cottage by the brook,
Where the pearly waters flow;
And the light within her heart went out,
And the song of life grew still;
And the spring time warmth of the sunny SOU
Was changed to the winters chill O..
She loved the youth of the hazel eve
o pity it was SOL
That kissed his hand as he passed her by
Where the lowly daisies grow;
And, all the live-long summer day,
All the long, long winter night,
There bloomed no fiow'r within her heart,
No star for departed light.
The weeks went by like drifting clouds
Opity it was SOL
And the maiden's cheek grew pale ana wan
Meath the spirits secret woe
And, the silvery laugh, that oft OF yore
Rang clear in the cottage home,
Was hushed like the broken chord OF lutte
In midst of dulcet tone.
By grassy mound in the old church-yard-
Opity it is SOL
There's snowy slab with the simple name
Of the one that sleeps below;
And the trav'ler stops by the cottage gate
To hear of her tale of woe;
And, brushing his sleeve across his eyes,
Saws, "Pity it was so!'

Elections.

The state election for Governor, members of
congress and state Legislature took place in
New Hampshire on Tuesday. The result,
though not an out and out democratic victory,
is sufficiently encouraging. The Republican
majority, which in 1864 was some 5000, cut
down last year to 5000, is now cut down to
less than 5000. The state Was warmly can
vasscd, and the vote is, by 1,a00, the
largest ever polled. Another long and strong
pull by the democrats, like the last, and the
state is won.
The municipal election in Joliet, in this
state, on Monday, resulted in the triumph Of
the democratic ticket by an average majority
of 375 This is a gain of over 100 since last
fall.
The state election in Connecticut takes place
on the LIST Of April. The Democratic candi-
date for Governor is the Hon. Jas. 4. English;
the Republican candidate is Gen. Joseph +.
Hawley the present governor. The republi-
can majority year ago was j41.
On the Sd OF April the state election takes
place in Rhode Island. The republicans have
re-nominated Gen. Burnside for Governor lie
will probably, rs he was last year, be allowed
to run without opposition.

CITY MATTERS.

THEOLOGY is not exactly in our line, but We
can hardly refuse an orthodox Presbyterian
friend little space to correct what he evidently
regards as some very glaring errors, though We
may possibly not have as high an appreciation
of their Importance as he has.
THAT PAMPHLET.-I have lately perused q
pamphlet proposing to give history Of the Ply
mouth Church OF this city; and was astonished to
md that the writer, instead of confirming himself
to the history of said church, becomes the critic
ana "denouncer' ofother christian denominations.

churches OF the United States when he saws on

mas body of lay elders elected for life" Again,
nc PTesoytery has power to control the Sos
SION. And again, 1.-The people have no voice in
Tn system, except when the elder is first elected
for an unlimited time"
Inc above statements are untrue, and require
his proofs for such assertions, or an avowal Of
his ignorance
lie concludes his assertion with the sweeping
denunciatiOn. That no warrant can be found in
scripture for these authoritative judcatores ont

Why did not the writer come out boldly and

scriptural form of government for the church.
If he had done so, although differing from him
in our views, we would, at least, have respected
him; but when. under the heading plymouth

Europe.

The English papers--aside from the out
break in Ireland-are chiefly occupied with
the reform prospects. The government with
drawal of the resolutions and the promised in
production OF bill, met all that was demanded
by the liberals; and details are awaited with
much interest. The reform leagues show signs
of increased agitation.
From Ireland the reports conclude in the
usual stereotyped form" that /" the Fenian trou-
bles are ended, and Ireland is again quiet"
But it is evident the troubles are not ended,
for the government, on the 18th sent four gun
boats to Dublin to be posted on the LifTy.
Then there is no doubt that there has been
considerable fighting. Even according to the
rose colored dispatches of the cable, the band
of Fenians, which was previously reported to
have taken possession of the barracks at Kit
teri, in Kildare, has been dispersed by the
troops The insurgents made an attack on the
barracks at Mount Mellick and were repulsed,
two of the attacking party being shot. The
rebels are said to have assembled to the num-
her of 5000 in the neighborhood of Abbey.
leiX Abbey.
BY the same authority We learn that many
Fenians have taken refuge in the Wicklow
mountains, where they are perishing from cold
and hunger.
Numerous arrests are also reported. The
place OF meeting Of the Fenan Council in
Dublin has been discovered, and its members
have been arrested by the police. Gen. Burke
one of the Fenan leaders in the south, has
been captured at Tipperary.
4 number of Fcnians were also arrested a,
Limerick. The prisoners while on the way tt
the barricks, were cheered by the people
A Dublin despatch OF the 18th also says
ARRESTS of Fenians are being made in all part.
