The Secret of Business Success.

A man with but one eye need have no
difficulty in understanding how business
success is achieved nowadays. To attempt
to build up "A successful trade by the old
time, passive plan is almost out of the
question, for the people have been edu-
Gated up to looking into the newspapers
for information as to the points where
the best and cheapest goods can be Cb-
tanned.
Although it does not by any means
follow that those who do not advertise
refrain because they have'nothing special
to offer in the way of bargains, yet such
is the inference drawn by many purchas-
ers. Advertisement writing has become
a fine art. Many of the advertisements
of the day furnish pleasant reading, es-
pecially when the prices of good are
annexed, and those prices are low.
The most successful dealers now are
those who persistently keep themselves
before the people. "If,n they argue,
lone advertisement helps business
somewhat, great many will help il still
more, hence we will keep it up during
the season." That there is philosophy
in that kind of reasoning seems clear.
1t is a fact that in all our cities the most
successful merchants, the men whose
names are most Unidentified with those
cities, are the men who advertise inces-
sanity and largely.-Phi!adelphla Star.

TERMS, s1.N A YEAR.
A Country Thanksgiving.

Ay, good man, close the great barn door;
The mellow harvest time is DER!
The earth has given her treasures meet
OF golden corn and hardened wheat.
You and your neighbors well have wrought
And OF the summers bounty caught;
Won from her smiles and from her tears
Much goods, perhaps, for many years.
You come a tribute now to pay
The bells proclaim Thanksgiving day.
Well have you sown. well have you renped
And of the riches you have heaped,
You think, perhaps, that you will give
part, that others, too, may live.,s
But if such argument you use,
Your niggord bounty refuse.
No gifts you on the altar lay
In any sense al given away.
L.! rings from Heaven voice abroad:
"Who helps Gods poor doth lend the Lord. -
What is your wealth. He'd have you know
To,have it, you must let it go.
Think you the hand by Heaven struck cold
win yet have power to clutch its gold?
Shrouds have no pockets, do they say2
Behold, | show you then the way;
Wait not TIL death shall shut the door,
But send your cargoes on before.
Lo! he that giveth OF his hoard
To help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
To-day, my brethren--do no. wait;
Yonder stands Dame Kelly's gate;
And would you build mansion fair
In Heaven, send your lumber there.
Each stick that on her wood-pile lies
May raise dome beyond the skies;
You stop the rents within her walls,
And yonder rise your marble halls;
For every pane that stops the wind
There shinelh one with jasper lined.
Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold
But in the city paved with gold
Your hoard is held in hands divine;
II bears u name that marks il thine.
Behold the bargain ye have made;
ith usury the debt is paid.
No moth doth eat, no thieves do steal,
No suffering heart doth envy feel.
Ri & ont the words, Who of his hoard
Doth help Gods poor doth lend the Lord!
Go get your cargoes under way;

Slavery In New England.

In the early days of the colony, before
the importation of negroes, the Indians
were sold as slaves. We quote from a
letter to John Winthrop:
"SR-Mr. Endecot and myself salute
you in the Lord Jesus, etc. Wee have
heard of a dividence of women and chill
dren Perquot captivesl in the bay, and
woulu bee glad of share, viz, a young
woman or girle and a boy, if you think
good. l wrote to you for some boyes
for Bermudas."
In the following letter, to the same,
written 1915, q scheme for the slave
trade is broached:
" If upon Just warre with the Nara
ganset the Lord should del.uer them
into our hands, wee might easily haue
men, women and children enough to ex-
change for MoOres, which will be more
gaynefull pilladge for us then wee con-
ceive, for l doe not see how wee can
thrive vntill wee gett into a stock of
slaves sufficient to doe all our cuisines,
for our children's children will hardly
see this great Continent filled with
people, soc that our servants will still
desire freedome to plant for them selves,
and not stay but for very great wages.
And ! suppose you know verie well how
wee shall maynteyne 20 MoOres cheaper
than one Englishe servant"
The Connecticut Gazette during the
revolution contained frequent adver-
tisements for runaway slaves, among
them, Every black negro men, 4" branded
with scars received in Africa, "Mustee
boys" and Indian women" The time
seemed to have been seized upon for a
general hegira. The reward offered for
their return was seldom more than five
dollars, s,-Lizzie W. Caaapnev, in Har-

The infamous character Of the

idly developing. The MayorofWyun.

up the disastrous consequences to
both negroes and whites, and appeal,

the movement. or the negroes he

the most visionary ideas concerning
what they must confront by coming

be to get West to where the Govern

are wholly destitute of the means to

until they can cultivate n crop. Go

enemies, whatever their intentions
may be; and we call upon humane

part of the negro population Of the
Southwest, and to correct the utterly
haseless and visionary idea concern

Party Organization.

In time Of Peace prepare for War,

to the internal politics Of a country
us to the policy which should regu
late nations in their intercourse with
each other. We are now enjoying a
period Of comparative repose in the
politics Of this country, and, outside
Of the sharp contests which are al
ways waging in the Halls Of Con
gress, the great bndy of the people
are giving but little attention to
.Ihose-natters. which little more than
u year hence will be agitating the
nation to its very center. If the
principles Of the Democratic party
are worth maintaining and worth
preserving; if, as we bplieve, the ex-
iStence of constitutional government
in this country depends upon the
triumph Of those principles in the
great national contest which is fast
approaching, 1T is none too soon to
commence the perfecting Of that or

can never,be obtained. As in the
