Advertising in Weeklles.

Is one advertisement in a weekly paper
of more value than one insertion of the
same advertisement in q daily of the same
circulation At first glance most persons
would lie inclined to answer this question
in the negative. 1t makes no difference t"
a man who reads an advertisement whether
it be in IL weekly daily paper of equal
respectability.
Very true But will the advertisement
be read by equal number of persons in
both cases. Certainly" is the reply. 80 ii
the circulation is equal"
Just here is where the mistake is made
The advertisement in the weekly will have,
perhaps, twice or three times as many read
ers as if in daily. In the first place, there
| will be about twice as many general readers
| of the weekly, though the issues Of both
papers should be equal in number. The
material of a daily paper becomes stale
iu twenty four hours. Who wants to
read the news of yesterday: Who will
! borrow Yesterdays paper fqr ordinary peru
sals A person turns from it with something
of the same disappointment with which hs
regards cold buckwheat cakes or warm ice
cream.
Such is not the fate Of weeklies, properly
conducted. Their material is of o totally
different kind; not ephemeral and Invested
with the mere interest of a vanishing novel
ty, but substantial and distinguished by in
ternal merit which nakee mach of it worthy
of perusal, without regard 70 the date Of
publication.' Most of the matter pnblishea
in weekhes can be read with a. n1sh inter
est any day previous to fheip1ext issue a. On
the day Of publication: Hence, We find that
the MoRnrNG STXKySor instance, is read not
merely by it's Subscribers, but passes from
hand to hand, lives and circalates during a
whole week instead Of q single day. We may
we'll calculate that tasice .as many persons
Jseaa it during shas time Ias'wouid have been
reached by an equal issue of the same paper,
Liz daily. .-1-5-y 80. ~ - y. l. ~ T..
Then, in the former case, this advertise
tment is aiso much more likely TO attract the
: attention Of the reader. As o general thing
:, much more space is given to reading mat
ter and much less to advertisements In
weekly than in . daily. The vast bulk, the
areary waste Of advertising columns and
paQes in daiiies appals the general reader,
and he turns away disheartened. instances
> have occurred, within our knowledge, OF
. parsons even giving up in despair the
search for an advertisement, we'll knowing
it was in the paper somewhere. One adver-
: tisement in our paper ought to be worth
several insertions in q daily Let advertas
ers think of it.

or leased for mere trifle; and capital. in
comparatively moderate amounts, is all that
ia requisite to re-establish an old branch OF
business upon a new and profitable plan.
In order to encourage the planters to cultl-
vate cane, and to enable them to sell or /
rent portions OF, their lands for cultivation,
there must be u positive contract made to
purchase all of the cane, without regard to T
the dangers of frosts, bad roads, etc. One
of the first objects Of the sugar msnufae-
turer or capitalist should be to prepare his
rolling and evaporating machinery and Gus
terms Of sufficient capacity to assure himself
&Ast he could consume all the cane within q |
given period-say between the LIST OF
November and 18th of December, as that is |
the time when the cane generally is in the |
best condition for yielding large quantity |
of rich Juice the weather is usually p-opi- |
tious and the ground dry. The next object
| of attention should be the condition of the
| roads and the means OF transporting the
cane within e the 81 ven period. These
arrangements should be as much as possible
under his management and control. as
small planters might not be able to supply
teams and labor with promptness. TO OBJ
yiate all danger from wet weather. which so
often accompanies severe freeze, the main
reads, Mt least, should be laid with cheap
plank, o,,tis OF railways ready for constant
or Temporary ,,se With low and wide cars
aud proper platforms. the carts hauling
fr..u, tl,e fields could easily dump the
cane upon the ears. This difficulty "f bad
roads has ruined many planter. aud too
much attention cannot be paid t" obviatc it..
5 When the sugar manufacturer shall have
accomplished the foregoing objects, he will
then be in proper condition te contract With
the producer Of cahe, and Ak upon Some
equitable mode Of adjusting a fair price for
the cane, either by weight OF other salts
e factory plan, which experience would soon
> suggest as the best.

THRILLING INCIDENT.

At Temperance meeting in Phila-
delphia some years ago, a learned cler-
gyman spoke in favor of wine as drink;
demonstrating its use quite to his own
satisfaction, to be scriptural, gentle
manly and healthful. When he sat
down, plain, elderly man rose, and
asked leave to say few words. ga
young friend of minc," said he, ''who
had long been Incorporate, was, at
length prevailed on, to the great joy of
his friends, to take the pledge of entire
abstinence from all tl'at could intoxi-
cate. He kept the pledge faithfully for
some time, struggling with his habit
fearfully; till one evening in social
party, glasses of wine were handed a.
round. They came to clergyman pre-
sent who took a glass, saying a few
words in vindication of the practice
"Well," thought the young man, ''if a
clergyman can take wine, and justify it
so well, why not ?" SO he also took
a glass. 1t instantly rekindled his
slnmbering appetite, and after rapid
downward course, he died of deliri-
um tremens-died raving madman. +"
The old mln paused for utterance, and
was just able to add, "That young man
was my son, and the clergyman was the
Rev. Doctor who has just addressed the
assembly,"

HOW TO CURE A CANCER.

A Milwaukee paper states that some
eighs months ago Mr.. Il, B. Mason, OF
that city, ascertained that he had CAN
Ger on his face the size ofa pin. IL was
cut out by DR.. Wolcot, and the wound
partially healed. Subsequently it grew
again, and, while he was at Cincinnati
on business, 1t attained .he size OF a
hickory nut. He remained there since
Christmas under treatment, and is now
perfectly cured. The process is this:-
A piece of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with a circular piece cut out
of the centre a little larger than the
cancer, so that the cancer had small
circular rim of the healthy skin next to
it exposed. Then a plaster made of
chloride of zinc, blood root and wheat
flour was spread on a piece of muslin
the size of this circular opening, and APP
piled to the cancer for "a hours. On
removing it, the cancer Will be found
burnt into and appear of the color and
hardness of an old shoe sole, and the
circular rim outside of it will appear
white aud parboiled. as if scaled by hot
steam. The wound is now dressed, and
the outside rim soon separates, and the
cancer comes out in hard lump. and
the place heals up. The plaster Kills
the cancer, SO that it sloughs out like
dead flesh. and never grows i'll again.
The remedy was discovered by DIR.
Fell, OF London, and has been used by
him for six or eight years, with unfail-
ing success, and not case has been
known of the re-appearance of the can
Ger when this remedy has been n applied.

LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION.

There is a mistaken idea among we'll
intentioned people that young persons
should be exposed TO temptation, in or
der to teach them how to avoid evil. 1t
is an ill-founded doctrine, ''a most per-
nicious policy" Like giving poison to
teach its antidote. Nor has any one
man the right to conclude that what is
innoeuous TO himself, from tempera-
ment, habit, or other causes, would
prove harmless to another.
Feelings that may be dormant are
startled into activity by the presenta-
tion of appropriate objects. Their ac-
tivity is strengthened and made power
tul by each recurrence OF cause. On
the contrary, feelings which have re-
mained undisturbed gradually lose force
and power. are less liable to break into
action, and more easily brought under
control of an opposing moral influence.
ssTo teach my son to avoid intemper-
ance, / make hlm drink in moderation"
says an advocate of the temperance doc
trine. Yet we can deny that thus the
boy acquires the taste for strong drink,
which is liable at any moment to break
into madness =? The palate which en-
Joys, soon learns to crave. The craving
become diseased action, which hurries
into eXccs
81 will teach you all the strong points
of intidelity," say the master to his pu-
pill. "Your religious faith will be lit
tie worth if it is not an understanding
faith. The Ich dien should be pronounc-
ed in no simple and ignorant love, but
by a comprehending spirit which has
probed and measured all things, and
chosen freely. Read for yourself this
doubt, and that. See how boldly this
soldier of iutidelity throws down his
gauntlet in the field ?'
Perhaps even after this ordeal, the
Ich dien is uttered to God with simple,
humble faith, against which all the los,-
lc of evil had beat harmless. But now
many make shipwreck of their immor-
tai hopes for the sole reason they were
steadfast in the good. For one educa-
ted by temptation to virtue, thousand
go down in the whirlpool on whose
verge they had thought to stand in Sc
curity. .-Ne,p Orleans Times.

BENNETT ON GENERAL LEE,

But if the Democratic Convention
must nominate soldier-if it must have
a name identified with the glories ofthe
war-we will recommend a candidate
for it's favors. Let it nominate Gener-
al Robert f., Lee. Let it boldly take
at once the best of all its soldiers, max
ing no palaver or apology. He is a bet
ter soldier than any of those they have
thought upon and greater man. He
is one in whom the military genius of
this nation finds its fullest dovelope-
ment. Here the inequality will be in
favor of the Democrats; for this soldier,
with handful of men whom he had
moulded into an army baffied our great
err northern armies for four years; and
when opposed by Grant was only worn
down by that stolid strategy of stupidi-
ty that accomplishes its object by mere
weight.
With one quarter the men Grant had
this soldier fought him magniicently
across the territory of his native State,
and fought his army down to stump,
There never was such an army or such
a campaign, or such a General for illus
trating the military genius and impos-
sibilities of our people; and this Gen.
eral is the best of all for a Democratic
candidate. 1t is certain that with hall
as many men as Grant had he would
have beaten him from the field in Vir-
ginia, and he affords the best promise OF
AIRY soldier for beating him again. .-Neo

FRENCH ME1HoDoF RAISING TOMATOES

As soon as a cluster of offlowers is visi-
BILE, the stem is topped down to the clus-
ter, so that the flowers terminate the
stem. The effect is that the sap is im-
mediately impelled into the two buds
next below the cluster, which soon push
strongly and produce another cluster of
flowers each. When these are visible
the branch to which they belong is also
topped down to their level, and this is
done successively. By this means the
plants become stout, dwarf bushes, not
above IS inches high. TO prevent their
falling over, sticks or strings are stretch
ed horizontally along the rows so as to
keep the plants erect. In addition to
this, all the opplng, all the laterals that
have no flowers whatsoever, are nipped
Off In this way the ripe sap is direct
ed into the fruit, which acquires beatl--
ty, size and excellence una.tained by
other means. .

BUYING IT BACK.

King William OF Prussia is not lavish
in personal apparel. His valet recent
ly gave him hint by substituting a new
coat for one which he had worn two or
three years longer than he ought, and
was thereupon summoned to the royal
presence.
"Where is my old coat, Jean?"
81 have taken it away, your Majesty;
it is no longer fit to be worn."
"What are you going to do with it,
Jean"
II believe am going to sell it," .
"How much do you think you will
get for ?"
This was hard to answer, for no tripiel
in the world would have given five cents
for the old coat. Jean, therefore, hesi-
tated a moment and answered.
81 believe will get about dollar for
it, your Majesty" ...--..
The King took his pocket-book from
the night table, opened it, and handed
Jean dollar.

BACON AND GREENS.

have lived long enough to be rarely mis-
taken,
And had my full share of life's changeable
scenes;
But my woes have been solaced by good
greens and bacon,
My joys have been doubled by bacon and
green's.
What thrill ofremembrance e'en now they
awaken
or childhood's gay morning and youths
merry scenes
When one day we had green's and q plateful
of fbacon,
And the next we had bacon and plateful
ofgreens.
All! well remember, when sad and forsak-
en-,
Heart wrung by the scorn of Miss In her
teens,
How 1 fed fl ON her sight to my loved greens
and bacon,
And forgot my despair DER bacon and
green's.
When the banks refused specie, and credit
was shaken,
shared in the wreck, and was ruined in
means;
NV friends all declared had not saved my
bacon,
But lived, for still had my bacon and
green's.
Ifsome fairy grant of three wishes could
make one
So worthless as ], and so laden with sins,
ia wish for all the greens in the world, then
all the bacon,
Then wish for q little more bacon and
green's.
Obi there is charm in this dish rightly
taken.
Which from custards and Jellies an epi-
cure weans;
Stick your fork in the fat, wrap your green's
round the bacon, .I
And you'll vow there's no dish like good
bacon and green's
