JUVENILE PROFANITY.-We know
no vice which needs a more thorough
reformation than the low and vulgar
practice of profane swearing. Itseems
that boys labor under the mistaken i
dea that it looks manly-that it adds
TO their ephemeral Importance, and if
they can place themselves behind a
segar, and blaspheme their maker with
impunity, they are acting like menl
No one who walks the streets of our
town, in the evening, especially, can
fail to see the prevalence Of this abom-
Unable and wicked practice. Itappears
to be on the increase. Our schools
for moral or religious instruction seem
to have done little toward the sup
preston of habit, the great extent of
which argues a laXity of morals which
does no great credit to Us as people.
ADVERTISING APHORIsAis.-If you
don't mean to mind your business, it
will not pay to advertise.
Bread is the staff Of human life, and
advertising is the staff of life in trade.
Don't attempt to advertise unless
you have a good stock of meritori-
Gus article.
Newspaper advertisements are good
of their kind, but they cannot take the
place of circulars and hand-bills.
Hand-bills and circulars are good Of
their kind, but they cannot take the
place Of newspaper advertisements.
No bell can ring so loudly as good
advertisement. People will believe
what they see, rather than what they
hear.
Bonner, for several successive years,
invested in advertising all the profits
of the preceding year. Now see what
he is!
Quitting advertising in dull times is
like tearing out dam because the wa
ter is low. Either plan will prevent
good times from ever coming.
The wise man of Scripture evident
ly did not refer to advertising when
he said, Cast thy bread upon the wa
ters and after many days thou shalt
see it again." or he would have added,
"with interest"
fyou would add to your business,
put your "ad." into our list.
A FIXED FACT-That Irvine, Of
the Regulator, is selling to everybody
from his large stock of superior boots
and shoes, furnishing goods, queens
ware, glassware, groceries, sc. If our
readers desire to select their goods
from a large assortment in these va
rious departments, Iryine'5 is the place
to do it.
ADVICE TO LovERs.-Neyer risk a
scolding by neglecting to supply your
betrothed with PHAL0N's FLOR DE
MAYO" the new perfume for the
handkerchief. 1t is a sad thing for an
engaged couple to have misunder-
standing about a is)cent. Sold by all
druggists.

and a walking stick in his paw, some
honest tailor's coat on his back, and a
brainless skull, can never make up for
the loss of a fathers house and a good

CUBA.

A Herald special, dated Havana 2Otb,
says the Cuban government has aban-
doned the loan proposed by the banking
company of Schroeder & Co., London.
As no satisfactory concession would
be made, better offers have been
made to the Madrid govern
ment,, and the banking house pre-
fers TO loan to them. 1t is reported
that part Of the money will be applied to
the PHILIPPINE islands and to Porto Rico.
There is rumor here that certain parties
are trying to effect landing of negroes
on the northern coast of the island. The
object appears to be experimental, so as
to find out what course Gen. Lersundi
will adopt. 1t may cost dearly to the
parties implicated, as His Excellepcy
will send all of them to Fernando Po
Gen. Lersundi will resume bis tour to the
eastern part of the island in twelve days.

decision on the reconstruction question,
being adverse to his own, as composed
of a lot of g old grannies.'"'S. So with the
Executive, when that branch of govern
ment sworn to execute the laws, and to
preserve, protect and defend the Consti-
tuition, differs from the Republican
party, it must be abolished. The Execu-

Decay Of the North.

Such is the effect Of radical rule on the
country that it is beginning to be most
severely felt throughout the North, and
to make the decline Of business conse-
quent upon it the chief asguGspt Of the
Northern Democrats. That our readers
may be kept posted, we occasionally give
such arguments as are addressed partie-
ularly to the Northern people, and now
give the following from the New York
Day Book:

Of one great branch Of commerce, unless
