PIcTUREs-A room with pictures in it,
and Il room without pictures, differ nearly
as much as room with windows, and Il
room without windows. Nothing, VIC
think, is more melancholy, particularly to a
person who has to pass much time in his
room than black walls and nothing on them E;
for pictures arc loop-hocs Of escape to the
soul, leading it to other scenes and spheres
1t is such an incxpressiblo relief to per-
son engaged in writing, or even reading, on
looking up, not to have his line of vision
chopped square off by an odious white wall,
but to find his soul escaping as it were,
through the frame of an exquisite picture
to other beautiful and perhaps Idyllic
scenes, where the fancy for moment may
rcvcl refreshed and delighted. Is it Win
ter in your world! perhaps it is. Summer in
the picture; what charming momcntary
change and contrast And those pictures
are CONSIDERS of loneliness they are sweet
Aattcry to the soul; they arc Il relief to the
jadcd mind they arc windows to the i'm
prisoncd thought; they arc books; they
are histories and scrmons-which we can
read without the trouble of turning over
the leaves.

and when this is done one continues to ex-

EVERYBODY WANTS 'EM.-Thcrc is
one thing which nobody ever objects to,
except rogucs business puffs. We rarely
ever get through day without meeting
with several excellent opportunities to ad-
vcrtisc somebody's business, gratis. We
often feel honorod by the eligible offers to
work for somebody clsc'ss benefit, and some
times regret that the law of checks and
balanccs-in Latin, quid pro quo-incx-
orably restrain us from just devoting our
self and the Oycgonian's local column to
the service of the public generally. II
the newspaper business could flourish on
nothing, it would be delightful to pitch in

Ola discovery made good many years
ago, though apparently not generally
known outside of the family. When this
discovery was made, an ingenious fellow
invented the advertising department
and patented the idea of paying for bust
ness announcements. That is to say, if
you work for us or sell us goods, VIC pay
you an equivalent; if VIC work, or what is
the same thing, advertise for you, you pay
us an equivalent. That's business, queer
as it may seem to the hunters Of free puffs.

You must not mind it that your great
wealth involves many others in poverty.
You must not give away money except

You must not go meandering about ma.

earth, sky or water, for there is no money
in it.
You must never embark in any enter.
