How They Did 1t.

The first successful experiment in the
way OF ontre advertising was made about
fifteen years ago by tobacconist, who
adopted the following method Desiring
to have his goods introduced extensively
among the retail dealers, be employed a
number Of men to work" as the polti.
clans say, the various wards Of the city.
One Of these canvassers would enter a ci-
gar store and ask the proprietor for pa
per Of "--'s fne.cut." The tobacco.
mist in all probability had never heard of
the article, but recommended some other
makers, which the canvssser contemp,u.
ously declined. In about an hour anoth.
er customer would come in and make a
similar demand, and before the week was
over the proprietor would find so many
inquiries for this special brand that he
was compelled to made a purchase, and
as the article was only sold in large pack
ages, it became necessary for him, in or.
der to effect sale, to recommend it to
his customers, and SO the article became
quite popular. The canvassers were Of
tentimes compelled to buy, but as the
goods were returned to the manufacturer
and resold, very little was lost on the
transaction. Ten men, therefore, at n
salary of SS week, for those were the
days OF low wages, could in three months
have induced every cigar store proprietor
to make purchase, and thus at an ex-
pense of hardly $1,000 the goods
were effectually introduced to the trade.

Rocked safely upon the placid tides,
As love in happy heart abides,
Moving with each emotion.
With voices and hands alive all Ger;
And o-morrow-perhaps forevermore--

Upon an empty ocean.
o love. my hero and my saint,
My knight of the white shield, without tnint,
This woman-heart turns sick and faint,
Although my lips may fail not;
| see the rocks undor smiling seas,
| hear tempest in overy breeze,
feel the iccbergs as they freeze
In the deeps where ship can sail not.
U love, my love- so brave, so young,
Strong arm, pure heart, and silent tongue
o lonely years that stretch out so long
One cry, as of long existence,
And my soul sits down before its doom,
As a white ghost sits at the door of tomb;
No moan, no shriek no tears no gloom,
Only still persistence,
Be of good cheer. Sail on, sail on,
Unto life or death; for both are one
To the infinite faith in sweet days gone,
To the infinite love that folds thee.
These grlish arms are weak know,
But my heart is strong as a wcll-bent bow;
And whittier thou goest will go,
In my spirit that upholds thee
Sail on, sail on, through the frozen seas,
To endltss labors, and little ease
Come back triumphant, if Heaven so please,
Or with unwon goal, inglorious;
Only come back No. Should God say
That he has crowned thee another way.
Love! sec, beyond our night His day,
And we are yet victorious.
