B@-The Boston Post, the leading
Democratic journal of New England,
makes the following remarks -
SENATOR Revels lecture was good
proof of the average culture within
the reach of either black or white
men. Its generalities were not strik-
ing and its assumptions still await
the test of time. 1t was very respec-
table as platform production, but
excited no special hopes Of o sudden
accession of intellectual power to the
predominant race from that which
has been styled the inferior. As for
the usual attention paid him with
such pertinaeity by certain indivi-
duals, as if he were the chance they
must not fail to improve, it only en-
phasized the distinction between the
two races which they pretend to ig-
nore. They paraded him as curios-
ity moro than they took him to their
arms as a brother. In their ostenta
tious presentation of their valuable
political prize, we must say that he
exhibited far more real dignity anc
manly modesty than they. The col
ored Senator from Mississippi made {
good impression on all who saw anG
heard him, which was not in the
least improved by those who sought
to personally share with him in it:

How to Advertise.

The following excellent remarks
relative to the most judicious mode
of advertising, are from an exchange.
AS the business season has opened,
and the enterprising dealers are cogi-
tating on the best method of secur-
ing the attention and patronage of
the public, the suggestions will prove
useful to them:
The secret of advertising is not yet
discovered by all who advertise. A
good deal Of money and space is was
ted in clumsy announcements which
nobody reads, and heavy standing
placards which no more stimulate
purchasers than the names on signs.
Much money is also wasted in cir
culars, which are thrown into entries
and down cellar-ways, and always re-
ceived with contempt or in cards.
There is no medium that comes into
such close contact with the people
as the newspaper; and if advertisers
only understood their business, they
could made their part of the paper as
interesting as any other part of it
In many of the German papers ad-
vertising IS carried to an extent Of
which we have no idea The news
paper is the real exchange. Every
body goes to it with all bis wants,
and almost all his woes. The conse-
quence is that the sheets are as lively
as neighborhood gossip, and often the
pages devoted to advertising are the
best parts Of the paper. And the
papers are read through. The an
nouncements are always short, and
one looks at them to see what the
world has to offer him that day, by
way of business reimbursement. Some
body, somewhere, announces some
where, announces something that in
terests you every day, and so life is
made more endurable, trade is quick
ened, and wants are supplied. We
look to see more general use Of the
advertising columns Of newspapers
in this country for all the wants and
queries Of life.

What is 1t "A Han With Mania for
Seeing His Fellow Beings Asleep.

From the Louisville Courier Jsurnal May II.
a man who gave his namc as
Charies Watkins, .and,who turns out
70 be Charles Livingstone, once q
respectable merchant in this city,
was arrefted while trying TO enter
the mouse OF Mr. Schactfer. on Port
land avenue, before daylight yester-
| day morning. This man bas~a
| strange mania for which a name il
yet to DO invented. He will break
into bouse at night just for the
ury OF standing by the bedside of
person and looking at him or her, as
the case may be, as they lay asleep.
He has been known to do this on
several occasions, and, after stand
ing there and gazing for hours, leave
without disturbing anything, and
close the doors carefully after him.
About six months ago he got him.
self into serious trouble in this way,
being arrested as burglar and held
to answer. He entered the room of
a young lady after she had retired
and gone to sleep. Taking his IA
vorite position beside the bed, be
stood gazing at the beautiful sleeper
till, perhaps, conscious of the pres
ence near her, she awoke and was
frightened terribly. By the faint
light Of the moon IS it shone through
the lattice, she saw this stranger
standing still and motionless at her
bedside. She screamed and tainted,
and the inmates Of the house, arous-
ed by the noise, came rushing in just
in time to catch tho intruder. The
affair caused a good deal of excite
ment, and no little gossip at the time,
but subsequent facts prove that the
man was harmless, and went there
just to satisfy this singular longing
Of his. He has been caught in sew
eral such places since then,,b at no
time has be ever disturbed anything
or anybody. He was presented to
the court as q suspected felon, Il
charge hardly justified by the facts
Of the case, and held in $500 to be Of
good behavior for twelve months.
His case is strange one indeed.

RELIGIOUS 3ENTIMEETs.-If we
study Christians, not in the sharp
angles Of their creeds, but in the
pleasant roundings of their lives, we
shall find good men of every name,

BE noble, and nobleness that lives
in other men, sleeping but never
dead, will rise in majesty to meet your
own.
"A child was asked, "What is
faith 2" She answered, Doing God g
will, and asking no questions" A
beautiful reply,
Most Of the shadows that cross
our path through life are caused by
our standing in our own light.
The man who loves truth with
all his heart likewise loves those who
suffer for tho sake Of truth.
No man is q better merchant
than he who lays out his time upor
God and his money upon the poor.
Put offrepeutance till tomorrow
and you will have a day moro to re
pent Of and day less to repent in.
The property of Christians is tC
bear the Ills of time, and hope for tht
good things Of eternity.
Keep list Of your friends, anC
let God be the first in your list, how
ever long it may be.
An old maxim is that religion
will cost US something, but the wan
of it infinitely more.
The soul is the life of the body
Faith is the life of the soul Chris
the life Of faith.
Men may judge US by the sue
cess Of our efforts God looks al tn,
efforts themselves.
Never cov(t easy paths. Tbs
Lord keep you and me from that sin
beloved.
Religion is net an art, q matter
of dexterity, and skill, but new ma
| ture.
Better suffer truth for truth thar
prosper for falsehood.

About Trout Raising.

Seth Green, the trout man, replvs
to correspondents. as follows
/. Will q stream (spring) two
inches square be q sufficient size to
make a paying fish pond 2 Answer:
| do not think you could make much
money raising fish for market with
that amount of water.
?. What size pond would such
spring maintain Fifty feet long,
fifteen feet wide, four feet deep at
the lowest end, and six inches at the
upper.
3. What amount OF fish (trout)
would such spring support and
raise? 5000 fnger-lings, or 1000.
yearlings, or 1000 two year old.
4. What would it cost to stock
and construct suitable ponds for the
above? Cost of building would de-
pend on location 5000 spawn cost
$40, 5000 young fieh, delivered, cost
5000.
8. Could you send suitable per-
son to erect ponds and stock +? | go
myself to lay out ponds; charge
$40 per day and expenses paid.
6. How soon could anything be
realized from such arrangement, and
about how much per year :? would
say the spring comes from the base
of the hill, clear and cold, and has a
fall of sixty or eighty yards, and is
never failing or varying, and others
could be brought to aid it, Joined to-
gether on a level piece of ground of
about two acres. Any information
you can give in addition would obigo
me. General reply: You would not
realize under three years. The
amount you would realize each year
would depend entirely on who took
care of the ponds. Everything hangs
on having the right man in the right
place. Your chance Of success is the
same in this as in any other business,
and you know this az well as | do.
Every man cannot raise fish no
moro than every man can be success
ful in every other business. My adj
vice to any one who has been fail
ure in any and every business all his
life, is that he cannot make living
by fish raising. | know parties on
Long Island who undertook it after
falling in everything else. and tho re-
suit was, they failed again
