Ambition Among Women.

foreign writer, after writing that men are
willing, if the road is broad enough, to march
shoulder TO shoulder over life's pathway and
share its honors together, adds:
"With woman, on the contrary, the desire of
accomplishing certain defined ends, for their
own sakes, is not so noticeable as that Of shis
ming at the expense Of their neighbors-thc
thirst for competition with other wives and
daughters, in silks or dinners, china or car
pets; the triumph consisting in dis.ancing
them in these particulars.
''There are, occasionally women, the bent
of whose lives is really determined by ambi-
tion, but these have always aided TO their
feminine qualities \ considerable element Of
masculini,y, and it is well known that such
hybrid characters are alike displeasing to
both sexes. Ordinary women are distrustful
of ambition. even in men, they have an intu-
tive perception that they and it are antago>
nistic; from afar of they recognize in it an
enemy come to wcan hearts from things which
suffice them and which they think should sat>
isfy the rest Of humanity. And 1t must be
confessed these instincts are true. OF course
there are examples on record Of homes unde>
spoiled of their completeness by the presence
within them Of the most Unsuitable cravings
for fame and promotion; Of family affections
on which, despite ambition, the bloom still
re SITS there are women, too, now and then, so
largely sympathetic as to assimilatc to them
selves what is foreign to their own nature,
just because it is bound up in one which they
love-

The newspaper should be regarded - .
benefit 10 every household. II imparts useful
information; it furnishes subjects for thought
and conversation, it adds charm for social
intercourse, it makes agreeable members Of
society. To be without . nswspAper one
might as well be out Of the world, he becomes
perfect nobody. When be goes into society
and hears others talk about current even,s
and discuss subjects Of general interest he
can take NO part in these things because he is
not posted, not having read the papers.
And in the family what IN issuence the
paper has, the children rssd Ii aad gain
knowledge, it serves to occupy their leisure
hours, to keep them from ffivelsas anase-
ments, and give an attrsctioa for home.
Surely then, no wise man would consent TO 60
without newspaper in his family. and 10.
cal home newspaper, too. He may thiak he
can ct along without il, because hs Is out Of
the world and can have the reading Of the
paper from his neighbor's shop or store, or
he can learn what is going On frsn otAers.-
But this is rather . mean way. Msa should
be independent. They ought to read for
themselves.
If, however they think they do not need the
paper themselves, they may rest assured
their families do. Considerations like these
should have their weight, and should induce
those who have thought Of stopping their pa
pers not to do so, and those who have not ia
ken paper to subscribe At once for one.

An Editors Life.

An editors work is never done. He is
called upon to furnish not only with ideas but
brains as we'll. Tie has every one TO please,
and struggles hard to accomplish this end
yet the difficulties are so great he rarely sue
ceeds. An editor. writing on this subject,
says with truth: "Somebody will always be
found to find fault with him, either for what
he publishes or else for what he leaves out
It is singular fact that the articles wri-
ter considers his best are frequently passed
over by the reader without notice, while an
other, which costs little labor and is consider
ed Of little Importance, is extensively reprints
ed. The editor must never follow his own
tastes if he does he pleases himself alone
He may feel an intense disgust for horrible
accidents large share Of his readers crave
them as person with disordered stomach
does unwholcsome food. He may be nauseated
with marvellous stories-many Of his readers
will leave his most profound discussion Of po-
litical principles Tor want Of pr;nciples) un-
read for story Of some monstrosity. The pol
itician wonders why he had no exhaustive
leader on taxation, or congressional represen-
tation; Esculspius wants an article an medi-
cal jurisdiction; Blackstone looks for com
mentary on common or statute laws: if he has
stale article on either Of these subjects any
body else wonders why so uninteresting q
matter was allowed to occupy SO much volu-
able space. Young gentlemen just beginning
TO discover the shadow of a coming event on
the upper lip think il is "a doosid boah' that
there is not more nice poetry; ladies would
like to hear something about the newest and
sweetest thing in bonnets; old Centpercent
wants to know the state Of the market, as also
does our friend Dundie Dinmont, who has cot
ton for sale. The Rev. Mr.. Curt thinks we
are running the morals Of the rising genera
ton by publishing the accounts of horse-races
base-balls, and other weaknesses: old Mrs.
Prim wants to hear scme lovely scandle.
elopement or suicide; Farmer Broadacres
wants to know the best breed Of sheep; and
the farmers wife and pretty daughters want
to read nice story. All these different tastes
and thousand others, have to be grati6ed.-
Everybody may get the particular thing he
wants, yet he is dissatisfied and distressed
because there is something in the paper lie
don't want, never dreaming that the something
is the very thing another will read with de,

up we'll before venturing into the night air,
not unfrequently makes good husband that
mostly stops at home and is easily comforted
with slops. The man who watches the kettle,
and prevents 1t boiling over, will not fail, my
dears, in his married state, in exercising the
same care in always keeping the pot boiling.
The man who doesn't take tsa, illtreats the
cat, takes snuff, and stands with his back to
the fire, is brute whom l would not advise
you, my dears, 10 marry, upon consideration
either for love or money; but most decidedly
not for love. But the man who, whom the tea

to make the best husband. Patience like HIS

wives and the best Of mothers-in-law. Ny
dears, whom you meet with such man, do
your utmost to marry him. In the severest
winter he would not mind going to bed 6rst.'

Journal between SO aud 81 yesrs. During
that time we have known no man Of business
in the city to fail who advertised literally
And we have known no one to succeed in any

who didn't advertise literally!
! 10 you tell US, oh candidates for the Gus

All! Why is it dull? Listen? and We will tell
you.s 1t is dull because you don't advertise
and you don't advertise because ii is dull
So the vacant circle is complete. We tell you
il you are doing i'll, to advertise that you may
do we'll, and if you are doing well, advertise
that you may do better. Set high your mark
of business success, and advertise up to it
You can do SO, if you will even in hard times
"a little nerve is needed in advertising as

success. Your men who have no more nerve
than wet rag advertise little or not at ALL
You may suppose that We are giving advice

We think it would benefit us, but benefit yor
