what a Bostonian Thinks.

The Adams IN. W Visitor speaks of an emf
nent Bostonian who regarded an advertise
ment in q newspaper as personal INVITATION
to call. and said: "While sometimes hesitate
about entering store the proprietors OF which
have not thus sent their cards to my residence,
I always feel certain Of cordial welcome
from the members of an advertising firm"
The same paper adds: "There is in this re-
mark an assurance of one of the many results
of advertising The trader and his calling be-
come identified and the name of the man Is In
separately connected in the mind of the public
with his merchandise. 1t may not be the very
day an advertisement appears that 1t bears its
fruit; weeks or months may elapSe, and then,
when the want arises, the article to be oo-
tained Immediately suggests the advertiser.
This is the effect of general advertising when
persistently followed. A special class of adj

is more immediate. shrewd business man
once advertised trihing article in manner
which could scarcely prove remunerative; His
neighbors expressed their regret at his folly
but he appeared contented. Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost OF his
advertising, he attracted q new class OF people
to his store, and his shrewdness paid him in q
very short time, for new eyes saw what ne had
to offer in addition Co the speciality advertised,
and new purses came under Contribution 70

Does 1t Pay to Advertise ?
Do You Believe Advertising PAYS

Ask Helmbold, who takes q whole page Of
four or five New York dailieS and fills them
with advertisements of his Buchu. These cost
him in the neighborhood of thousand dollars
each for one day. Think Of this, merchants
mechanics and manufacturers, while you sit IN
your offices and wonder that your more enter
prising neighbors are enlarging their business
building palatial residences, andlguidlng spank
ingiteams along our th0roughfares. They MAKE
their money by telling the people, through oul
columns of a newspaper, that they are in bust
ness and would be glad to wait on them. les

WINGS.


o the glory Of wings, when the bold eagle
springs
From HE mountainous height,
And bathes in sea Of iheifabe light,
Pure, ,clOudless and blue, with meAsureless view,
Up, up toward the sun,
Where finite Is lost, and infinite won.
Out Of sight of the earth, out of sound Of It's
mirth,
And Its thunders OF strife,
!ls anguish Of death, and anguish Of life.
Immense and profound, above and around,
New wonders arise
the glory of wings, in their fight through the
skies.
Wings Wings which can sweep the fathom-
less deep,
Higher rising, and higher.
And still in crcling gyrations aspire,
Till pausing at last, above tempest or blast,
lie p0ises to rest,
Ere he swoops through the clouds to his rock
sheltered n1st.
And so we may mark, the timid skylark,
With nutteriug wings,
Picrces through the dark mist into sunshine,
and sings;
So jubilant he, so happy and free,
Escaping from earth,
And rising toward heaven in sanctilcd mirth.
the glory of wiugs, when the sweet swallow
sings,
His chirp OF delight,
And the cuckoo, ON wing from morning till
night.
And from night until morn, in cOppice or thorn,
The nightingale's song
Still plaintiyoly echoes where streams 1ow
along.
o the wings Of the wind, in speed uuconfned,
In cyclone or blast,
And storm laden hurricane, dreadful and vast !
While lightnings outfash, and loud thundcrs
crash,
Like the knell of our doom;
the glory Of wings in their terror, and gloom.
And angels have wings the seraph who sings
In the throne blaze of God
Flies, swifter than thought, to sorrows abode,
And ministers love, from the fountains above,
To heart-brokcn grief.
0 the glory Of wings, which bring JOY and re-
So when Christ shall come down In triumph to
crown,
And our bodies redeem,
We shall rise, "ready winged for ascending
with Him.
With martyrs and seers, and angels for peers,
His priests and His kings,
Ascending with Him U the glory of wings

HER PUNISH MENT.

1t was commencement day of C.
College, aud the city hall was crowded
One by one the graduates had spoken
and taken their seats, and the valedc.
torian now took his place upon the stage
and faced the vast multitude. Alric
Strathmore stood there as self,posscssed
and graceful as though this trial of his
college life had no tcrrors for him. If
he had any inward misgiyings, or if his
heart throbbed more quickly, his un-
daunted eye and proud lip did not show
it. Ills brilliant Grafton attracted the
attention Of the audience Mt once, and
held it until its close, when the young
orator took his seat amid thuuders OF
applause and perfect shower of bou-
Cuets.
" Strathmore is highly favored, +" said
one student to another.
Yes; by mortals as well as by the
gods. should like to possess mind
such as his, aud also that superb cluster
Of lilies he has just taken in his hands"
And careless Ben Tracy leaned back
in his seat with sigh of assumed
envy
The lilies spoken of were still in
Alric's hands.
Who could have thrown these? ?" he
was saying to himself, as his eye wan.
dered over the crowed house.
Just as he was about to place the
bouquet among the others, his eye hap.
pened 10 fall upon face in the front
row of seats very near the stage. A
pair OF violet eyes met his, aud, as the
perfume Of the lilies hoatcd upwards,
they became at once strangely associa-
ted with those beautiful eyes.
How foolish | am" he thought {;
surely a perfect stranger would not
favor me so much-and yet | am con-
vinced that these exquisite lilies came
from that lady. The lady with her is

Strathmore," said Ben Tracy, as he
took his friends arm after the exercises
were over III want you to 90 with me
this evening to call on some acquaintan-
ces Of mine before We leave for good.
Will you be ready for me p
" Certainly" answered Alric.
After he had finished his toilet that
evening, Ben knocked impatiently at
Alric's door.
Come, Strath, are you ready Z"
Come in, Ben, III not keep you
long"
Ben entered and threw himself on
Alric's lounge. He watched his friend
at his toilet awhile, aud then as his
mischicvous eye wandered, he said:
Well, if your friends could see how
you treat their floral offerings | don't
think they would feel at all flattered.
None Of these flowers honored with
fresh water but that lone bunch of
lilies What are you preserving that
for 7"
Oh, | rather like the perfume, and
so just put them into water" answer.
ed Alric, industriously searching his
wardrobe with his back to Ben.
Oh, is that all, !" said the other, with
a comical nod. i suppose you haven't
the least idea who the giver can be,
Strath, eh ?"
How should |, Ben ? | saw no one
