starving the Clergy to Death.

From the Rev York Tribune.
We agree with DIR Prime in the Oh
Serrer, that it is a shameful thing for
congregations to starve their pastors by
paying them Diggardly salaries. The
Doctor tells of one PRESBYTERIAN clergy
man who died few months ago for want
of sufficient food Fear OF poverty had
made him an idiotic miser. / is not
impossible that nervous anxiety about
income damages the health of preachers
The matter, according TO DR. Prime
ought to be laid upon the conscience Of
the individual members of the church
for, sad to relate, in the opinion Of this
distinguished person. who ought to know.
1.-The Church collectively has no con
science This is a state of things de-
manding immediate attention, for re
ligious folk can better do without heads
than hearts See the gross unfairDess of
our treatment of clergymen. We nearly
monopolize all their time. all their brains,
all their physical strength; but if they
make little effort to pick up a little
money by extra professional work or
enterprise, they must get very rich in
deed not to have the public declaring
them false TO their ordination vows.

About Advertising.

You can't eat enough in week to last
you year, and you cant advertise on
that plan either.
People that advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks can
not remember any thing longer than
about seven days.
No bell can ring so loudly as good
advertise ment. People will believe what
they see rather than what they hear
Quitting advertisements in dull times
is like tearing out dam because the
water is low. Either plan will prevent
good times from ever coming.
An Indian once tried the softness of
feathers by laying on rock and stretch
ing himself upon it. There are some
who try the virtue of advertising as of
anything else in life, that if it is worth
doing at all it is worth doing we'll
Bread is the staff of human life, aud
advertising is the staff of business.
A simple card may proftabiy stand
years without changing, but a sensation
advertisement should be changed as often
as you can get the printer to do it.
We don't recommend advertising as
the best way to get good wife, but We
can recommend it as the best way to get
good trade.
A heavy advertisement once is more
than quadrupled in value by small card
published for few months after giving
your address.
Beware of long prosy advertisements.

The proprietor Of this celebrated medi-
cine Justly claims for il superiority over
iii remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe. certain, speedy, and permanent
care OF Azue and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether Of short or long standing. he re-
fer, 20 the entire Western and Southwest
arm country to bear him testimony to the
trutb Of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail to cure, if the directions are
s,rictlv followed and carried out. In a
,rsat many cases a single dose has been
sufscient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with a
perfeet restoration OF the general health.
II is. however, prudent, and in every case
more certain TO cure, if its use is continued
in smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
dificult and long standing cases Usually,
tbi, medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order; should the
natient. however, require a cathartic medi-
r;ne after having taken three or four doses
of the Tonic, single dose of Bu LII S VEG

Low PRICES.

Although the prices of provisions are
now much lower than at any period for
many years. it mSst follow, from the
reasons given above, that this time next
year or even early in 1872, prices wifi
show decided reduction from the pres
ent rates We do not mention these
facts to discourage farmers but to inform
them of the situation Tue truth is. the
majority of our farmers are interested
in low prices. while be who raises to sell
will. after all, make good profit as long
as fattenng stuffs are cheap.
OUR ADVICE
to those who sell would be, sell early
and sell in the rough, as the cheaper
rates of cured meats, lard, ETC., which
must come, will leave little margin for
profit after the trouble and expense of
curing.
