The Law or ADyERrIaNo In New
York the other day the law Of adyer-
tising was woll elucidated. The pub
Usher of a daily paper sued the Stand
ard Life Insurance Co, in the Supreme
Court, for bin Of 1853 on account Of
advertising. The Company resisted
paym't on the ground that they had au-
thorized but one insertion There was
no proof, however, OF this. There. WAS
no order to that effect on the advertise.
ment as sent in, and the Company did
not attempt to deny that they saw the
advertisement continuing in tho paper
and failed to countermand it. The
Judge held that when an advertisement
is received in a publication Office with
out the number Of insertions paid for at
tho time, the publisher can know moth
ing Of the wish OF the advertiser re-
specting the number Of insertions re-
quHed, and as he can do nothing until
advised by him whose business il is to
attend to the matter, he can charge for
every insertion given tho adyertisom't

There are yeur month wages, said
Mrs. Steele, tossing some bills into the
Tap y a young girl whom she employ-
"a 10 her kitchen, aud If ] should do

not move about quite SO slowly as you
arc accustomed TO, and take little
more pains in handling dishes. Many
housekeerers would have taken the
price Of that pitcher you cracked ont of
your wages, and am not sure bus ]
shall adopt some such plan in future.
The young girl took the money with
a moody look, and went about her task
with heavy, resentful spirit These
hard words she felt were undeseryed,
as she had tried TO please by doing her
work faithfully But al through the
house the system reigned II was one
continual scene Of fault finding from
morning till night No wonder that
the angels Of peace spread their white
wings and flew away
la rose-wreathed cottage just over
tAe way, it was also Bridgets pay day.
Here are your seven dollars, Brids-
ct, and may they do you great deal Of
good. You are getting along very
nicely now, and learning very fast TO
do work in my way. Mr. Howard tho't
you had quite exceeded yourself in yes
terdays bread and pies.
Brldgets face was all aglow with
pleasure as she opened her hand to re-
ceiye the money.
Indeed, ma'am, it's all from the pa.
tient teaching I've had. My last mis-
tress called me dolt and blockhead,
and / didn't much care for to please
her But if you please, ma'am, I'd like
your advice on little matter. Would
you wait till get money enough for a
chany silk dress, or would you lust use
your money now for what you needs 2
by all means get you a good com
Portable pair Of shoes, Bridget, and |
would advise neat delaine dress, also.
A cheap poor silk is not nearly as nice
as a pretty fresh calico.
Then followed some excellent advice
to the young girl, which was listened
to with the deepest respect, and which
gave her some new and valuable ideas
on the subject Of what was tasteful and
becoming N dress. Little by little she
moulded and wrought over the plastic
mind INTO something far better than
the early promise gave her reason to
hope FOR. For five years the young wo-
man luboicl faithfully in the service OF
her kind employer, and only left her to
eater home Of her own. How much
better was she fitted for that position
by the kin and judicious training Of
those five yeOrs? How much better,
too, was Mrs. Howard served than her
neighbor Mrs Steele who looked upon
her help only as machines out Of which
to get the greatest possible amount Of
labor.
II takes time and long practice to do
this, bat it is part of the work, despon-
ding house mother, that God has given
you to do;
! 'Do it so bravcly, SO kindly, so well,

man but who would rejoice to have
way pointed out by which he might
honestly Obtain riches. No one would
thank us for prescription to insure
poverty, and yet there is many a man
who keeps himself poor by indulging

BUSINESS. There is a good deal Of
talking here among the brokers ABOUT
a certain fast young youth whose faith
or is overburdenod with millions.
The young man wonld not work, and
the old man could not bear an idler,
aud many were the qnarrels between
them.
At last the old man, quite out Of pa
tience said: Now Jack, | will give
yon one week to make up your mind to
what business you are going in. No
son Of mine shall be lounger, and 60

week, If you have made no choice l
viii stop your allowance altogether, and
and make you take a stool III my office,
and work enough you'll have of it
there"
Well, Jack promised to look around
and make up his mind.
At the end of the week, sharp and
poremptory, as was his way, tho old
broker sung out:
:" Well, Jack, times up; have you
you made up your mind to make your
own liying?"

of it, and have something in my mind

GUIDE BoARps In riding in a strange
neighborhood it is pleasant for one to
feel that he is on the right road. Neat
guide boards, put at all the important
crossings, give one the needed informa-
tion pt sight, and the delay Of stopping
to make enquiries is avoided. The
guide board should be devoid Of paint
or's hourishes, with only the necessary
directions in plain black letters upon q
white ground. Good black paint is
wonderfully indestructible, and we can
call to mind old country guide boards
in which the letters stand out in bold
relief, the wood around them having
been washed away BY the action Of the
elements. Iron letters are sometimes
used, nailed to the wood, aud very neat
guide and milestones combined, arc to
be met with. These helps to the tray-
eler together with the neat roadside
watering places, give a neighbprhood
an air OF refinement Er.
