About Advertising.

You can't eat enough in week to last
you year, and you can't advertise on that
plan either.
People that advertise only once in three
or four months forget that most folks can
not remember anything longer than about
seven days.
No bell can ring so loud as a good adj
vertisement 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 one on a rock and stretch
ing himself upon it. There are some who
try the virtue Of advertising on the same
plan.
It's as true of advertising as 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, and adj
vertising is the staff of life in trade.
A simple card may stand years without
changing but 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 rec
ommend it as the best way to get good
trade.
Small advertisements are worth more in
proportion than large ones. If all people
were deaf loud advertisements might be
expected to win.
A heavy advertisement once is more than
quadrupled in value by small card pub
lished few months after, giving your adj
dress.
Beware of long prosy advertisements. II
you want people to read them, have them
''sbort and sweet"
Judicious advertising always pays.
Large type is not necessary in an adver.
tisement. Blind folks don't read newspa.
pers.
Never run down you opponents goods
in public. Let him pay for his own adver.
Using.
A hint to the wise is sufficient. The 1Egi,
Dc Mtelligencer is at your service.

FARMING AS BUsrNEss.-Mr. Joseph
Harris in his walks and Talks for January,
in the "Agiculturist," says:
believe in farming, and feel sure that
it can be made not only pleasant but
profitable business. And if my land is get
ting cleaner and richer and my crops larg-
er and more profitable hope to be excused
for saying so. | have told of my failures
and the reasons for them. want to tell of
my successful ever have any. think
the readers of agricultural papers do not
need information so much as exhortation.
What we want to believe is, that good farm
ing will pay-and it most certainly will.
Or if it does not, no other business in the
community can long continue to prosper.

AT THE THEATRE.

X \ X y X !:
We stood by the river together,
And bent DER the waters side
And we watched the play of the moonlight
That glittered adown the tide.
My dream of life was beginning
For my dream of love had begun;
And the world was garden of roses,
lpluclling them one by one.
She was the daintest creature
That stood in the moonlight there,
With lace on her rounded shoulders,
And purple CLEAN in her hair.
And we built the ARREST castles
And whispered the usual things;
In short, twas the same old story
The VOWS and the changing of rings.
\ y = \ X
But many q night, when musing
Alone in my bachelors chair,
have thought of the lace and the shoulders,
And the purple cleaning hair.
And a memory wakens within me,
From out of the long ago;
The low, deep sobbing and ripple
OF that rivers ebbing and flow.
Hush there's the music beginning;
Yes, she married-a broker in stocks;
And-look at that stout old party
That is she-in the opposite box!

The Eagle and the Serpent.
serpent saw an eagle gain,
On soaring wing, mountain height,
And envied him and crawled with pain
To where he saw the bird alight.
So tickle fortune oftentimes
Befriends the cunning and tho base,
And oft the groveling reptile climbs
Up to the eagles lofty place.

MANURE FOR GRAPE VINEs.-The best
manure for vines is the branches pruned
from the vines themselves, cut into small
pieces and Immediately mixed with the
soil by hoeing them in.
The branches pruned from the vine in
July or August, whilst still fresh and moist,
should be cut into small pieces and mixed
with tho earth. They undergo decompo-
sition so completely that at the end of four
weeks not the smallest trace Of them can
found.-Lie5i9's Agricultural Chemistry.

PARsLEY.-Every good housewife wants
supply of Parsley, and the way to make
good housewife is to be careful to antici-
pate all her little wants of this kind.
Very few gardens have parsley, and chiefly
because it is not sowD early enough. 1t
ought to be one of the first seed sown after
the frost leaves the ground. 1t takes
generally about six weeks to grow after
sowing, but this period may be shortened
by sleeping the seeds for two or three days
in water before sowing. 1t likes rich,
heavy ground, but not where it will be
burned too much in Summer.

There are cases where blows on the

ter. Mabilen was almost an idiot till at
the age of twenty he fell down stone
staircase, fractured his skull and was
trepanned. From that moment he be-
came genius. DR.. Pricbard mentioned
n case of three brothers who were nearly
ali idiots. One of them was injured on
the head, and from that time frightened
up, and is now successful barrister.
Wallenstein. too, they say. was a mere
fool till he fell out of window, and
awoke with enlarged capabilities. A pa
tient in an asylum was the victim of
many delusions. He was paying off the
national debt. going into partnership
with Baron Rothschild, and was forming
a Lodge of female Freemasons. One day
an epileptic patient, irritated at being
asked to buy imaginary shares, gave
him tremendous blow on the bridge of
the nose. From that time he improved
rapidly, and he acknowledged that the
blow had SOLDERING effect and had quite
knocked the nonsense out Of him. There
is no doubt that this was the secret of
that cruel old remedy for madness, the
circulating swing, mentioned favorably
by physicians of the last century. This
horrible swing was a small box fixed
upon pivot and worked by winlass

motion every six or eight minutes, and
by stopping it occasionally with sud.

piotracted sleep, intense perspiration
mental exhaustion and a not unnatura
horror of any recurrence to the sam,
remedy, which left moral impression
that acted as permanent restraint. Tha
the results were often beneficial we hav

How TO QUIT SMOKING. who has
tried and knows it, recommends the fol-
lowing rule. He says that il this does
not cure, nothing else will; aud a. it
costs but little, the reader can lose moth
ing by making the trial. The rule is:
begin on cigars two for quarter, and
smoke four the FIRST day; then drop to
zen cent cigars and smoke FIVE; the next
ony buy three for a quarter and smoke
s,1; next eight or four for a quarter;
!hen ten five cent cigars, and the follow

HOW Clark the gamblers did beat.
No more with the red and the blue

Recalling their trials Of woe.
No more with the red and the blue

In Frisco no gambler shall play.
So with an equal harshness
The heavy sentences fall,
The gambler exciting no mercy
From Louderback down at the hall,
No more with the red and the blue

Good bye to the game good and true

No more will the boys kind and tue
Wear faces frightened and gay.

two long. dreary weeks we have tried it,
For two long. dreary weeks we have been
the only soul in the house. We haze had
no one to love us-nO one to ca-hug. All
alone we went to bed, not to us word was
said. We go: up in the morning just as
quietly as we retired at night. There wasn't
much housework to do, and the barn chores
didn't consume much time. For the first
few days we studied economy and boarded
Oucselfo We soon got tired Of eating the
outside slice OF bread at every meal and
threw the loaf away and bought crackers.
Remembering the difficulty that Brothes
Beecher had with his dishcloth few years
ago-an account OF which he gave in his
miscellany at the time-we resolved not to
wash any dishes, but just put the dirty ones
to soak and use clean ones. As long as tho
dishes hold out we shall get along with
that part OF housekeeping all right, but
they won't last always, as the pile Of clean
ones IS daily growing smaller. and the pila
OF dirty ones larger. The crisis in this par.
tlcular is approaching, and unless the
folks come home pretty soon, we shall
have to borrow some dishes. For the first
few days we made the bed up nicely every
morning. For the next week we put it Oft
till night, and for the last few days we
didn't make it at all. We were charged
particularly to water the house plants and
take care of the bird. The plants have
caused us a good deal of trouble. but we
left the door of the cage open about the
first time we curried that animal off, and he
hasn't troubled us much since. OF course
We'll "catch it" when the folks come home,
but that is a good deal easier than it is to
catch the bird. On the whole, we are free
to say that we do not like housekeeping.
and it ever we should be "born again
and according to very good authority we
have all to undergo that operation, we ear.
nestly hope we shant't be born woman.
and especially housekeeping one. We
would rather be an angel.-Elmira Gazette.

may be said of every Southern State. Wnen
the war ended the Southern people had
been reduced by the strin gency OF the
blockade to the very last emergency IN the
way of civilized commodities. They had
no manufactures of their own to supply
their needs, and their articles Of product
were purely agricultural. While the supply
of corn and bacon was not entirely ex-

of clothing. and to meet the demand for the
ordinary necessities OF life not included
among meat and breadstutfs, had been

almost naked. Hair brushes, combs. pen

books, and the thousand and one knick-
