Advertising.


Though keeping it before the public"
has long been known as the golden road
to success in business, vet how it
could best be done has been a moOted
point. But experience is fast settling
the matter upon g firm aud true basis,
and money that has heretofore been the
same as squandered viii be made to
return good interest upon the invest
ment. Circulars Though of some use)
have about had their day. The public
have learned that, as a rule, they are
tossed unread into the waste basket;
the expense of printing and envelopes,
direction and postage do not pay. Busi-
ness men are simply annoyed by having
their mails filed with them; are dis.
gusted with having valuable time taken
up in the opening, and know that gen.
orally such advertising dOdges are not
wol thy of respect. In the inception OF
the plan it may have worked benet-
eiallys; now it is worthless and q nun
sance; is resorted to for the most part
by confidence men, quack medicine ven
dors and 'shoYers of the queer" and he
who has a reputation at stake avoids
such questionable means Of giving to
the public knowledge of what he has to
sell.
The legitimate wins in the long run,
and the legitimate in advertising is the
newspaper. That is never thrown care
lessly aside; is read by the many there
is something in it that appeals to every
mind and heart-pathos, history, poetry,
anecdotes, morality, religion, statistics
it is in fact map of the busy world,
and so attracts the eye. 1t is not con-
fined to the counting room, but finds its
way to the home circle and is cherished
around the family hearth; is read and.
reread is filed away for future refer
ence, and when use requires some "ad''
that is impressed upon memory is
hunted up and yields its fruit in patron
age.
There is something of responsibility
in its announcements it is a sort OF
godfather to all published within its
columns; there is an air of respectable
ity about it than can never be given to
transient matter it vouehes, as it were,
for correctness and honesty and reliabil-
ity of what is given to the public; there
are no no ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain" in giving knowledge of
where goods can be found, and where it
is for the best interest of the purchaser
to go; there is stability in what itsays,
and it reaches thousands of homes and
eyes that can never be gained in any
other manner.
In the present age those who do not
read can be counted upon the fingers;
those who do can scarcely more than be
numbered by the sands on the sea shore;
and the "wise learneth what is good
and holds on to it, )" and will remember
that the newspaper is the true medium
bf giving information to the public.

Romantic but Sad.

A maiden lady Of Geneva, Kew York,
named Jane Bush, aged sixty-two years,
died recently, at Saline, Mich, under
somewhat peculiar circumstances. She
had been living in the latter place for 8
few months, and while there met a
gentleman to whom she subsequently
became engaged to be marr5od. On the
morning of the wedding day, Miss Bush
went down town to transfer the title to
some property, and after signing her
name to the deed of conveyance her
head fell forward and when those pres
ent raised her up she was dead. Her
death was ascFibed to paralysis Of the
heart, caused by excitement. A singular
feature of the case is the fact that this is
the second bereavement of the gentle
man to whom Miss Bush was to be
married. Once before he was engaged
to lady and his hethrothed died shortly
before the wedding, It remains to be
seen whether the disappointed bride
groom expectant, now well advanced in
years, win have the courage to try his
luck again, or whether he will be content
to live upon the sad memory of what
might have been" At any rate, he will
have the satisfaction of knowing that

Louis Napoleon at BouIougne.

sHe appeared quiet and indolent from
constitution, not easily excited, but gay
and humorous when at his ease. His
French is not without q little German
accent; the pronunciation of his Ger
man better than that of his English. On
the whole, observed a good deal in his
turn of mind that is owing to his educa-
ton at Augsburg, where, as he told me,
he was brought up at the Gymnasium.
He recited poem of Schiller on the ad-
vantages to man Of peace and war, which
seemed to have made deep impression
upon him, and appears to me to be not
without significance with reference to
his life. His Court and household are
strictly kept, and in good order, more
English than French. The gentlemen
composing his entourage are not distin-
guished hy birth, manner, or education.
He lives on very familiar footing with
them, although they seemed afraid of
him. The tone was rather the "tOn de
garnison," with good deal of smoking
the emperor smoking cigarettes, and not
being able to understand my not joining
him in it. He is very chilly, complains
of rheumatism, and goes early to bed /;
takes no pleasure in music, and is proud
of his horsemanship-in which, hoWeV-
eT, could discover nothing remarkable.
His general education appeared to me
to be very deficient, even on subjects
which are Of first necessity to him. I
mean the political history Of modern
times, and political sciences generally.
He was remarkably modest, however,
n acknowledging these defects, and
showed the greatest candor in not pre-
tending to know what he did not. All
that refers to the Napoleonie history he
seems to have at his fingers ends; he
also appears to have thought much and
deeply on politics; yet more like an
Amateur Politician mixing many very
sound and many very crude notions to-
gether. He admires English institutions
and regrets the absence of an aristocracy
in France; but might not be willing to
allow such an aristocracy to control his
own power, whilst he might wish to have
the advantage of its control over the
pure democracy."-G[ Memoirs Of the Prince

The question of the proper Observance
OF Sunday has been q much disputed
one, and is one of much interest. A GER
tiln amount of religious services should
OF course form part of each Sundays
hfe: should indeed be its central idea,
but it should not infringe upon the de-
mandS of overworked nature for rest.
But what is rest? Clearly what would
be rest to one would not be to another.
What would increase vitality and
strength to the day laborer would make
the weary student, bOOk-keeper or editor
more weary. The work of the six week
davs, whatever it is, should be put en-
tirely out of sight from Sunday until
Monday. Mental labOr-reading, wri-
ting or other employment that requires
mental effort. Physical laborers must
cease physical labor, and can obtain the
desired rest in mental improvement.
Those whose week days are spent within
the four walls of store or an othce,
should be in the open air, in the broad
fields, where they can breathe natures
purest srial draughts, as much as posi-
bic. Those who labor out of doors will
find their greatest rest and enjoyment
on Sunday in their homes. The busi-
uCco HAL anu
all thought of his business, take a COM
plete respite from all thoughtsof SHOP"
and Sunday for all classes should be
made as widely different from other
days in the week as possible. 1t should
be made enjoyable, especially for the
children, that they may grow up with
the love of the day, instead of an aver
sion for it, as too common even in the
best of Christian families. The observ-
ance of the day in each household
should be made a study, that the most
profitable and rest-giYing enjoyments to
suit each case may be found, and then
let the observance of the day, once set
tied, be lived up to as strictly as busi-
ness transaction. The day should have
its distinctive features; religious cul-
ture; freedom from toll for servant as
well as master; rest in its true sense,
and enjoyment of the higher order,
which relaxes the nervous system, and
is one of natures greatest restoratives.
All have their place, and none Of them
should be neglected.
