Cost Of Advertising.

In glancing over Efingham's Handbook OF
Advetising, the following bit of sound logic
struck our eye as being peculiarly applicable in
this particular locality: In advertising, as in
everything else, the best papers will command
the best price. 1t is cheaper to pay reasona.
Bile price for inserting your advertisement in a
journal having a large circulation than to pay a
small price for one that has little or none OF
this you may be sure, that any journal that in
serts advertisements for little or nothing, is, in
one, there would be no necessity to lower its
prices, for its pages would be filed without the
sacrifice. You may lay it down as rule, that
every journal knows it's value, and that if it
adopts very low prices it is because it is con-
scious that it has very low circulation, either
in numbers or in responsibility

The Poor.
vuvO the FARMERS of the VALLEY

YNO the FARMERS Of the VALLEY.
1.-The undersigned appeals in behalf of the
starving people Of South Carolina--his native
State-to the farmers and all other persons hav-
ing corn for sale in the Valley and the adjacent
country to sell and deliver to him their surplus
corn at the earliest practicable moment It is i'm
peritively necessary that corn should be gotten
to these people at once in order that they may be
saved from actual starvation, as they failed al
most entirely in a corn crop themselves and sup
unprecedented condition of the country roads and
the interruption Of Railroad communication by
the washing away of bridges, Sc:
This appeal is not for contributions: I propose
to pay the market price in cash upon the deliv-
cry of the corn, and will hope that humane
people will not horde up the necessaries of life
from their furnishing countrymen. Much good
may be done by the immediate delivery Of SO
bushels by each farmer, if he cannot deliver more.

With proud and yet gentle mien,
His eyes with cheerful light reflect,
His face alight with smiling sheen;
He moved along amid the throng
AS gay as ''any other man."
In habits good, in business strong,
A favorite he in fortunes van.

With Bonded form and shambling gait,
Avoiding those whom he passed by
Like one possessed of morbid hate.
His clothes hung loose and tattered were,
His face was mapped with wrinkles O er
He looked wreck of gaunt despair,
Cast down on misery's desert shore.

Whence came that poison canker-worm
