Tho Nowburyport ,Hcr"'d pub.

and dopravcd community in tho
, town Of Soabrook, New IIamp-

mado was laid ont for rum and TO-
bacco. They had intcrmarricd TO
such an cNtenL that tho younger
portion OF the community were
littlo more than idiots, and their
language had dcgcncratcd into an
almost unknown dialect.
In i short, rum, intcrbrccding.
and want OF communication with
the outside world, had developed Il
wonderful Larbarous state Of So

Why Don't They Advertise 4?
A correspondent Of tho Chrt


tan Neiyhdor writes:
1t is strange how slow tho mcr-
chNntH and BlSiucss men Of Go.
lumbia arc to learn tho value OF
liberal adv ,rtising. doubt iftherc
is town of one third it's sizc in
tho Union whore this matter is so
lit,lo appreciated. We country
folks can hnd out little about the
business Of the city from its news
papers. Their advertising columns
scarcely tell us Of even lawyer
or doctor in the place. Recently,
III rambling over the city, camo
across machine shops, stores and
other business places that | never
heard Of before, although | take
the Ncighdor and other papers pub
lishcd in Columbia. How strange
ly blind TO their interests! (l was
; about to write StuPidUy blind, but
feared you would not like to print
so harsh Il word.) Really l. felt
ashamsd and mortified at the want
Of enterprise and common scnso
thus exhibited. Why, ] do be-
licvc the little town OF Winnsboro
gives its paper moro advertising
patronage than the great city Of
Columbia bcstows Oh the papers
published there. Not long ago, |
was in II store in Columbia, when
u lady camo in aud called for q
certain article, rcmarl1ing that she
had tried every storo where she
thought it ought to he found. The
shop-kocpcr told her it was not to
be got in Columbia. Tho same
day, [ accidentally saw the very
article in Il storo which she did
not happen to visit. [ have on
sev oral occasions sent to New
York for articles which ! mi ght
have bought in Columbia, but did
not know it till afterwards.
Where merchants keep mixed
stocks, assn Columbia, they should
advertise not only the name of
the firm and place Of business, but
their advertisements ought to DO
so full and complete as to show
everything they havo for sale. If
they would draw custom and
thrive, they must do this and keep
their advertisements constantly
before the public. Whether it bc
sensible or not, | tell you wo coun
try folks will run TO the stores and
places Of business about which we
SEQ long and flaming advertise.
mcnts. don't profess to know
much, being but Il plain bit Of far,
mcr, but | sec and hear II great
doal, and l can tell tho business
men Of Columbia that ! know
many of them, and could name
them, too, who loso thousands Of
dollars yearly because they arc toe
careless, or too lazy, or too unen-
tcsprising OF too. stingy to nd
vcrtiso:
The advertising Columns Of lis
newspaper is the farmers guide
book when be visits his market
town. Advcrtising is the very
life of trade. If the merchants
and business men Of Columbia gen
orally were alive to their own and
tho interest and prosperity OF
their city, their advertising pat
ronage wonId be so great as to
compel the city papers to treble
their present HiZc or publish Il
heavy supplement-. So thinks and
so believes LITTLE JOHN.

HASTE AND UEALTH.-lt is not
at all wholesome to be in Il hurry.
Locomotives havo been reported
TO havo moved 4 mile in u minute
for short distances. But locomo-
tivcs have often como to grief by
such great rapidity. Multitudcs
in their haste to get rich arc
ruined every year. The men who
do things maturely, slowly, de-
libcrately, arc the men who often
est succeed in life. People who
arc habitually in a hurry generally
have to do things twice over
The tortoise beat tho hare at last.
Slow men seldom knock their
brains out against a post. Foot
races arc injurious to health, as
arc all forms Of competitive cXor~
ciscs steady labor in tho field IS
the best gymnasium in tho world.
Either labor or exercise carried
to exhaustion, or prostration, or
even TO great tiredness, expressed
by tagged OUT" always does
moro harm than the previous OK
crcisc has done good. All run
ming up stairs, running to catch
up with u vehicle or crry-boat,
arc extremely injurious to every
age, Sex, and condition Of life. 1t

necessity which should induce a
person over fifty TO run twenty
yards. Those 1.-Two longest who

DlslIEARTENERs.-It is cheap
and easy to destroy. There is
not joyful boy or innocent girl,
buoynnt with fine purposes of
duty, in all tho street full Of eager
and rosy faces, but cynic can
chill and dishcarten with q single
word. Dependency comes readily
enough to the most sanguinc pco
pie. Tho cynic has only to follow
tho hint with his bitter coniirma-
tion, and they go homo with hea-
vicr step and premature age
They will themselves quickly
enough give tho hint ho wants to
tho cold wretch. Which Of them
has aot failed to please where
they most wish to please? or
bIundercd where they were most
ambitious Of success ? found them,
selves awkward, or tedious, or in
capable Of study, thought or he.
roism, and only hoped, by good
sense and fidelity, TO do what they
could, and pass Unbalanced? And
this wicked malcractor makes
their little hopes less with satire
and sllcpticism, and slackcns the
springs Of cndcavor. Yes, this is
easy; but to help the young soul,
add energy, inspire hopes and
blow tho Goals into q useful fame !;
TO rcdocm defoat by new thought,
by firm action, that is not easy
that is tho work Of divine men.
