How and Where to Advertise.

The caption TO this article is really an
important one. and how to advertise,
and where, is the secret which we shall
attempt to convey TO our readers. We
shall consider first the subject: how to
advertise. The advertiser, in order TO
get his wares before the public, should
never be satisfied with one ortwo inscr-
tions. As the constant dripping of wa
ter will make sn impression upon even
the hardest rock, so nothing but liberal
and persistent advertising can make the
impression desired upon the community
AT large. The first or second insertion
may possibl! escape the eye, or if seen.
be forgotten. But the constant reminder
in the columns of the newspaper must,
by the very force OF circumstances, be
notircd, and generally be commented

Charcoal for Sick Cattle.

Nearly all animals become sick from
improper eating. In nine cases out of
ten the digestion is wrong. Charcoal
is the most efficient and rapid correc-
tive. 1t will cure in majority of cases
if properly administered. An example
of its use-the hired man came in with
the intelligence that one of the finest
cows was very sick, and kind neigh
Dor proposed the usual drugs and pOis-
ons. The owner being ill, and unable
to examine the COW, concluded that the
trouble came from some over-eating,
and ordered teacup of pulverized
charcoal given in water. 1t was mixed,
placed in junk bottle, the head held
upwards, and the water, with its char
coal, poured downwards. In five min
utes an improvement was visible, and
in a few hours the animal was in the
pasture quietly eating grass. Another
instance of equal success occurred with
young heifer which became badly
bloated by eating green apples after a
hard wind. The bloat was so severe
that the sides were almost as hard as q
barrel. The old remedy, saleratus, was
tried for the purpose of correcting the
acidity; but the attempt to put down
always caused coughing, and little
good. Half teaeupful of fresh-pow-
dered charcoal was next given. In six
hours all appearance of bloat had gone,
and the heifer was well.-Country Cen

Behind the mountains there live peo-
pie, too. Be modest; as yet you have
discovered and thought nothing which
others have not thought and discovered
before you. And even if you have
done so, regard it rs gift from above,
which you have got to share with
others. EH ~
A pious but uneducated judge closed
a sentence with the following touching
reproach: ''Prisoner at the bar, nature
has endowed you with good educa-
ton and respectable family connections,
instead of which you go prowiing
around the country stealing ducks"
"Perhaps nobody ever accomplishes
all that he feels lies in him to do; but
nearly every one who tries his powers
touches the walls of his being oeca-
sionally and learns about how far to at
tempt to spring. There are no impossi-
bnities to youth and inexperience, but
when a person has tried several times
to reach high c and been coughed down,
he is quite content to go down among
the chorus. Ii is only the fools who
keep straining at high c all their lives.

Life in Ireland.

An American is surpassed, says cor
respondent of the Christian Register, to
see the conditions of life as fair as they
are here in Ireland. The squalor of the
low Irish is not so pronounced by Dub
lin and its environs as in the Irish
quarters of Boston or New York. Peo-
Pile are not so huddled. AS the cabins
are but one story high, the pigs cannot
be kept in the attic. On Sunday the
poor people are quite as well dressed.
In regard to these things, the aspects of
Irish life have greatly improved during
the last half century. So many have
emigrated that there is better chance
for those that remain. A curious law
is in force here by which all the loving
must be married, and all the dead bur-
led, before twelve O'Clock, noon. As in
England, marriages must be in church
or chapel. There are no marriages at
home. And if one goes to the great
cemeteries in the vicinity of Dublin, ,,'as
the hour of noon approaches, he will
see funerals coming, some of them in
hot haste lest the noon-bell should
strike, the gates be shut, and the burial
have to be deferred to the next day.
The professions are not allowed to en-
ter the cemetery; but the bodies are
borne in, and the friends may follow on
foot. If the deceased be a Catholic,
the priests say few words over the
coffin just inside the gate, and then it is
borne on very much as matter of bus
iness. The irreverent and unceremo-
nious way in which dead people, espe-
eially if they die in poverty, are put in
to the ground here is amazing. One
notices, too, that the priests are laid
with their heads in the direction oppo-
site to the heads of the people, so that
in the resurrection at the last day, when
they rise out of the dust, they will
stand face to face with the members of
their congregation. noticed one grave
in which were buried seven Jesuit IA
theirs, one upon another, and could not
but imagine what deal of good tenn
per and gracious Difference to each other
would be needed at the last trump to
prevent discord and scrambling out in
some selfish, uncomfortable and awk-
wardly irritating way. But these are
great mysteries, and the earnal reason
may not pry into them. The church
knows that the seven fathers will come
out of it all right at last, and that is
enough.

DO AS NEAR RIGHT AS you CAN.

The world stretches widely before you,
A field for your muscle and brain;
And though clouds may often noat s'er you
And often come tempest and rain,
Be fearless of storms whichko'er take YOU
Push forward through like a man
Good fortune will never forsake you
If you do as near right as You can.
Remember the will to do rightly,
If used, will the evil eonfound;
Live daily by conscience, that nightly
Your sleep may be peaceful and sound,
In contests of right never waver-
Let honesty shape every plan,
And life will of paradise SAVIOR
If you do as near right as you can.
Though foes darkest scandal may speed
And strive with their shrewdest Of tact
To injure your fame never heed,
But justly and honestly act,
And ask of the Ruler of Heaven
To save your fair name rs a man,
And all that you ask may be given,
If you do as near right as You can.
