ADvERTIsNa.-We commend the following ar
ticle, clipped from an exchange, to the consider
alton of our business men
The man who says II don't pay to advertise
is just as likely as not, doing il in some other
way all the time. II the merchant hangs a few
| OF his goods outside the door--he is Advertising
II the cabinet maker hangs chair or other ar
ticle of furniture at his shop door he is adver-
tising. II a man lose a horse or COW and tells
every one he meets, he is advertising his loss
The doctor who has boy TO run into church
and call him out in haste, is advertising.
man cannot do business without advertising,
and the only question should be-the way TO ad-
vertise. Ii you have lot Of personal property,
to sell, which Is the best Ito write out q few
notices that not one in fifty will stop to read
or go to the printer and have lot of well dis
played pOstersi II you are in business of any
kind, is 1t not better to keep regular standing
advertisement in your home papers, that will
stare your friends in the face every week, rather
than trust to the old fogy idea of ''Oh they all
know meF But says Mr.. Saveail advertising
costs money. Very true, aud SO does every
thing else and it Is a good thing for you that
advertising does cost something. II it did not,
every little worthless concern would stand as
good chance for being known as the very best
and most useful. If you want the people to
know that you have anything to SELL advertise
in your home papers first then ia your neigh
boring papers. The man who has Il reputable
business, and spends the most In a liberal sys-
TEN OF advertising, IL the one who makes the
most money. This is truth well verified by
experience. wagon may be made to run with
out greasing but it is hard work so may
manage to scratch along without advertising,
but ne will be apt to see his advertising neigh
bor goiug ahead of him at a 240 gait.

WeekIy Grinity yuurnal.
Oh, He not the First.

Oh, he not the First.
Oh, be not the first TO discover
A blot ON the fame of friend,
A flaw in the faith of lover,
Whose heart may prove true to the end.
We none of us know one another,
Aud of into error We fall;
Then let us speak well OF cur brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false aud untrue;
And thus our belief may be shaken,
In hearts that are honest aud true.
How often the light smile OF gladness
Is worn by the friends that We meet,
To cover a soul full of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh Of detection
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull suspicion TO rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest,
Their noblest emotions conceal,
And bosoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds TO harbor suspicion,
And small ones TO trace out detects
Let ours be noble ambition,
For base is the mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then let us speak well OF our brother,
Oh speak not about him at all.

PRoGREss OF OPsIoE.-A Nantucket correspon-
dent gives an interesting illustration of the
"gradual progress of opinion" 10 the anecdote
about shpmate who accompanied him on one
OF his early whaling voyages. Stiles was II sim
pie-hearted transparent young fellow, and, when
we sailed had been "paying attention - for some
time TO young lady, who he had reason to
think did not fully reciprocate his ardent feel
ings Al all events the parting on her side was
not so ahectionate as he could wish, and he was
Impressed with the belief that she only kept him
as standby in default of better offer.
''I don't believe" Stiles would say, with a
despondent shake of his head, " don t believe
Ann Jones II have me, anyhow II
When we had been out few months and had
met with fair success, Stiles tone was modified.
The burden of his monoogue changed to
Well, dunno but what Ann Jones III have
me after all. D."
With a thousand barrels Of oil under matches
he beeames still more hopeful 'C Chance is
pretty good for Ann JONES'" he would say.
Pretty good now"
AT fifteen hundred barrels he had assumed
dissatisfied manner aud soliloquized, :" guess
there's no danger but what Ann Jones Ill have
me now" At two thousand barrels" Ann
Jones II be glad enough 10 get me now, know"
When we cut the last whale that was to fill
the vessels hold and squared away for home,
Stiles threw his hat in the air with wild Indian
yell OF triumph-"l'll be hanged IL I'll have
! Ann Jones, anyhow"
