ABE ADVERTISEMENTS READS

Hon. John Forsyth, the veteran editor of
the Mobile Register, used to tell q good story
to illustrate the value of newspaper advertis.
ing, as means of getting before the public
whenever you wished them to knew OF your
wants or wares.
Mr.. Forsyth was accidentally drawn into q
discussion Of this subject with q mercantile
friend, who expressed emphatic doubts that an
advertisement benefited mans business at
all, and closed his side of the debate with the
common remark, cts all money given to the
aid of the newspapers. Nobody reads my ad.
vertisement, or thinks of it, or looks after it,
except your foreman and collector"
Forsyth replied "Let Us test the truth OF
your assertion. Sit down and write out an
advertisement such as dictate, and we will
put it in the smallest type the cases contain,
and insert it in the remotest corner OF the
Register that you can select"
The next morning there appeared in agate,
without bit of display, and in the most out
the way place in the paper, the following
Wanted: To buy dog. Apply at No. -
Blank Street,
The contract was that in case the "ad" was
success" the merchant was to pay Forsyth
$5 and treat to wine and oysters. If it failed
to meet the eyes of parties with merchantable
CANNES, the editor was to pay the merchant 10
and set up supper for the two.
During the day Of the first appearance OF
his experiment, tho merchant called at the
REGISTER Office several times. BE looked as
though he was in trouble, appeared nervous,
looked over his shoulder like one who is pur-
sued by terrible bore or persistent dun. FL
nally, late in the evening, he met his editorial
friend, and before the latter had time to open
bis mouth, the merchant said hurriedly and
excitedly, "For Heavens sake leave that ad-
vertisement out of your evening edition.
There's $5 for it, and So more to pay you for
saying No. = Blank street has got q dog.
Let's 60 and get the oysters I'm nearly wor-
ried to DEATH"
The poor man had recklessly made himself
and his family the victims of a terrible perse-
cution. Before the carriers had gone their
rounds with the Register, customers Of all
sorts, with every imaginable breed, size and
color of animated sausa . dangling at the end
of tow ropes, steel challs, brass chains, or
clinging at the heels of the owner and would
be vender, swarmed in the vicinity Of No.
Blank street. They rang the bell of the
street door thousand times in two hours;
they waylaid every member Of the family;
servant nor proprietor, nor child of the house
hold dared appeared on the street until an of:
6eer was sent for, and the persecution stopped
by the threat to lsck up the swarm of urchins,
dogs and all.
That merchant enlarged his advertisement
and thereafter attended to it as any other
branch of bis business. he had learned that
people do, somehow, find out the contents Of
newspaper advertisement.

A SMART DoDGE. following very
clever and sabimely impudent dodge was
some time ago adopted by Partisan thief
A lady, entering her apartment, discovered
that a man was beneath her bed. With much
presence of mind she exclaimed "Oh dear,
what bore; l forgot my parcel after all" :"
and presently left the room, locking the door,
The thief looked out of the window, and saw
there was no escape that way, and so he pro-
ceeded to undress himself and get into bed
Before long key turned in the door, and a
voice came from the bed as the lady, accom-
panied by an officer of police, entered, asking:
"Why, what's all this about ?" Then, as
they approached the bed, he exclaimed: "Ah
hah I see how it is. Madame is tired of
me, is she, and thinks she'll be rid Of me in
this way Well, we'll, I'll CO." In vain the
lady Indignantly protested, and demanded his
arrest. The officer thought that it would be
useless, under the circumstances, to detain
him, and he was soon out of bed and away.

EaGs AS AN ARTICLE OF D1ET.-There is
no article of food more wholesome and nutri-
tious than thst supplied by eggs. There is q
difference in sheir flavor and quality, owing
to the difference in the diet of the birds; yet
there are no eggs of winged creatures which
are unfit for nournishing the human body.
Their chemical composition is nearly the
same, for the white and yolk are almost inva.
riably presens and these consist, in the first
case, of albumen and water. Eggs require
for digestion about as much time as mutton
that is, from three to four hours. They are

The TELEpHoNE.-The apparatus of the
telephone is simple: a plate Of iron or steel
fastened to sounding board, q speaking tube
by which sounds are conveyed to the plate, q
bar of soft iron or magnet, with coil Of in.
sulated copper wire around one end, and an
adjusting screw. The electric wave used in
transmitting the sounds is generated by the
voice itself important Improvement over
the battery current, which was at first en-
ployed. Many obstacles remain to be over
come, but the capabilities Of this curious in
vention are apparent to listeners.

DON'T.

Don't Judge man by the clothes he wears,
for God made one, the tailor the other.
Don't Judge man by the house he lives in,
for the lizard and rat sometimes inhabit the
prandest of structures.
Don't Judge him by his speech, for the par
rot talks, and the tongue is but an instrument
to make sound.
Don't Judge him by his family connec-
tons, for Cain belonged to q very respectable
family.
Don't Judge him by his success in life, for
that is much oftener the result of q combina.
ton of circumstances, With, which he had
nothing to do, than of his own merit.
Don't Judge him by his failure in life, for
many man fails because he is too honest to
succeed. .;...'.a- !4- 81 ..,.ss...
Don't judge him by the show he makes, for
an average turkey-cock in barn-yard can
strut all around him and not half try.
Don't Judge him by bis lack of display, for
the long.eared beast is the humbleet of ami
mails, but when aroused is terrible to behold.
Don't Judge him by his activity in church
affairs, for that is not unfrequently inspired
BY hypocritical and selfish motives.
Don't take it for granted because he car
ried the contribution box he is necessarily
liberal. he often pays the Lord by services
in that way and keeps his currency:
Don't imagine the Creator is under any OBJ
legation to you for the quarter you give to
convert the heathen that is only q small
fraction you owe for turning your own ances-
tors away from their wooden gods
Don't carry your hymn book in your hand
when you 20 to the house of worship and
your ledger in your head. The Lord can see
through your skull.
Don't when in church, chew tobacco and
spit over the floor. You would not do that
in your own house. ,.
Don't walk into the house of worship with
your hat on. You bare your head when you
enter lady's parlor. Is your lady friend
entitled to more respect than your Creator2
Don't spend the time devoted to prayer to
idiotically gazing about whispering or note
writing; they are very silly and rude if not
sinful.
Don't think when you have gone to church
on Sunday, that that entities you to do as you
please the balance Of the week. The upright
man lives through the six as he does the
seventh day.

Other sons of Parnassus may sing as they please,
In praise of the flame kindling blue,
And talk of the hazel in fancy wrought phrase,

For something there is, that so willingly charms,

Neither hazel nor blue hath a fire that warns
Like spark from the bonny black eye.

Yet there is. I confess it, a wit and charm.

mand was made, but the gallant Mcpherson
refused to comply.
Mcpherson had no artillery, and his only
hope was that he would, in due time, receive
succor from Rawdon. On the afternoon Of
the same day, the American officers received
the intelligence that Rawdon had evacuated
Camden, and during the night the rumor was
confirmed by the arrival of courier from
General Greene. Time now became precious.
The work was pressed forward with double
vigor. The forces of Marion and Lee could
not withstand those under Rawdon.
On the night of the 18th, the camp.6res of
Rawdon were seen cleaning from the Santee
hills. These fires filled the minds of the men
in the fort with joy, whilst they were anything
but pleasant to Marion and Lee. These off,

burning the house of Mrs. Motto would force
the garrison to surrender at once. The ditch
cut by the Americans was now within bow
shot of the house. Lieutenant-C Colonel Lee
suggested that the house be set on fire by
hurling ignited arrows on the roof Marion
accepted the suggestion, and determined to
reduce the proposed plan to practice.
individuals were charged with the duty of
preparing the bows and arrows; but neither
Marion nor Lee were willing to burn the
house without first mentioning their design

man would add, softening, "from the first. I
did not wonder that he should have won
Evelyn's heart. And now what is to become
of US all, God knows! can find no hope or
comfort anywhere-none."
1t was sad enough household; sadder than
any ordinary house of mourning, notwith-
standing the silent selfpossession and reso-
lutely maintained hopefulness of the one
chiefly stricken among them. In those mel
ancholy days of waiting, the others watched
Evelyn with wonder, mixed with kind of
awe. She was so utterly changed, so meta
morphosed from brilliant, careless child, to
a thinking, suffering enduring woman, that
her very identity seemed to be lost. Already
the weight of many years seemed added to
her age, and Rose, heretofore the counsellor
and guide, felt herself no longer capable of
