WHAT JUDlCIOUS ADvEis.
TlSlNG WILL do.

IL has been said that the ROAD 10
fortune is through printers ink : and
the truth of the maxim has been over
md over again exemplifed in the cases
of many whom we night mention,
whose success hiss been brought ABOUT
by liberality and righteousness in I'D.
vertisiug. One OF the most recent
and notable instances, is tof Mr.. L.
LINN SMITH, the energetic young pro-
prietor of "Smithograph" Manufactur-
Ing Company of Phila., who is In
debted for his present remarkable sue
cess to his firm belief in the efficacy OF
n rT Ink.-Ne,o York Graphic,
For the benefit of those who do not
know what a "Smithograph" Is, we
NAV say that it is most ingenious Ut
tie instrument, by the aid OF which
apy person, young or old, can copy all
kinds of pictures, photographs, etc.
Not only that, but it is most lnvaiu,
able aid to beginners in Drawing, ana
is used by Architects, Engravers, Art
lists, Teachers, Milliners and In fact
almost every branch Of business where
copying, charging, or reducing PIC
lures, plans, designs, patterns, etc. is
necessary. For transferring BLACK
board illustrations in Sabbath schools,
etc., it is invaluable. 49,.
As a proof of the favor in which this
US etul Drawing instrument Is held py
those most competent to judge ofits real
merits, we are gratitied to state that 1t
has lately been introduced into some
of the best schools in Philadelphia
New York, Boston, aud other large
cities. The method ofworking it is so
simple and easy of comprehension,
that it is just what should be placed in
the hands OF every child, even at an age
when not qualified for more advanced
art studies, affording them not only q
never. euding fund Of amusement, but
being the means of instilling into their
minds love of drawing, and develop
ing any aptitude for that beautiful ac-
complishment which they may possess.
1t has been pronounced by the press
as we'll as artists everywhere to be alb
solutely perfect, and as a parlor &C
complishment, it is just what every per-
son should place in the hands OF his
children. ,,,
