The SECRET OF SUCCESS. sc,
cret of the success Of many of our bust
ness men is to be found in the fact that
they are not afraid to let the public
know what they have to sell, and where
they can be found. None appreciate
the value of advertising better than
Mr.. E. p Williams, the enterprising
Dry Goods Merchant of 17S and $50
Broad street, corner Jersey. His hand
some store is crowded day and night
with his patrons, and his numerous
corps of obliging clerks have just as
much as they can do to accommodate
the rush made on them for winter
clothing. We commend the example
of Mr.. Williams to many other business
men of Elizabeth who constantly keep
their light hidden under bushel

TRAVELLING Poor. The number of
travelling poor who call for meals and
lodgings appears to be on the increase,
and the colder the weather the thicker
they appear to come, but where they
come from or where they bring up is as
much mystery as is the question what
becomes old mules, very few persons
having ever seen dead one, which is
the same case with this unfortunate
class Of travelling poor OF course they
all have some story, and the majority
OF them expect according to their own
version to be in better circumstances,
as soon as they reach the desired point.
Some Of them are 'circulators, and
appear about once a month.

HsaF~ Many persons who are in the
habit of freshning mackerel, or other
salt fish, never dream there is right
and wrong way to do it. Any person
who has seen the process of evapora
ton going on at the salt works, knows
that the salt falls to the bottom. Just
so it is in the pan where your mackerel
or white fish lies with the skin side
down, the salt will fall to the skin and
remain there ; when, if placed with the
flesh side down, the salt falls to the
bottom of the pan, and the fish comes
out freshened, as it should; in the 9TH
er case it is as salt as when put in.

THE AURORA AND METEoRs. From
near the period of 9 o'clock on Satur-
day evening, to 4 o'clock on Sunday
morning, 10 meteors were seen, equal
in brilliancy to the frst-magnitude
star Capella. These meteors emanated
principally from point 90 degrees E.
from Pollux, in the sign of Gemini,
with direction of motion generally to
the east. At and after nine minutes
past a. M, few emanated from Cas-
siopeia. One of green color shot
southwark, from point on line with
Alpha and Beta Casssopeia, distant
eight degrees from the latter star. The
Northern Lights were visible a. m.

To secure eggs in winter, you must
feed your hens well, and keep them
well supplied with ashes, sharp sand
gravel, refuse lime, and finely powder
ed bones, oyster shells, bits of cabbage
and scraps of meat, put in boxes. A
teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, inter-
mixed with their food, and fed to a
dozen hens every other day, is sure to
make them lay eggs. So says lady
of Maine, who obtained, in this way,
from twelve to fourteen eggs every day
from but sixteen hens; and she informs
MS that whenever she omitted feeding
them with cayenne pepper for two or
three successive days, her supply of
eggs invariably fell to but five or six
per day. Onions chopped fine and
mixed with their food, are also good to
make hens lay.

PRETTY TOP Doors If there is any
thing prettier or more sensible than
the short dresses which the ladies wear
now, what is it ? If there is anything
more bewitching than those cunning
little feet that trip with light spring
across the streets and along our side
walks, even in the muddy days, what
can it be T.? As when Tennyson's Prin-
cess and her train were climbing the
rocks,
Many a light foot shone like jewel set,
In the dark crag :;
So they shine over our rough cross
walks and pavements. And you re-
member that one very claiming char
acteristic of pretty Arabella Allen in
Pickwick was that she wore a pretty
little pair of boots with fur around the
tops, which MR. Pickwick caught a
glimpse of as she was getting over the
style with bevy of damsels who were
enjoying their Christmas frolic, and
''who" says the author, "having pretty
feet and unexceptional ankles preferred
standing on the top rail five minutes,
declaring that they were too frightened
to move" The short dresses have led
the ladies to pay particular attention to
their feet. and they have almost reach
ed perfection in thick, firm, and arts
tically shaped shoes (which they now
wear in the place of the tin soled and
and sprawling things around which
they used to dabble their muddy skirts.
We can echo at this time an equal praise
to the girl that wears short dresses that
Stedman sang in the sweet notes of the
Emerald Isle to the girl with the bal
moral
Thin here's to the gal with the balmoral
And dainty top boots slinder,
Who's as discrate as she is swate,
And wise as she is tender.''
