LADY ToUoH 4HK HARP AGAIN

BYF. L. STANTON.
Lady, touch thy harp again,
Sing some sweet and solemn strain
Not as oft as in days more bright,
Let the song be sad tonight,
Sing, and let the music be,
Crock of Ages cleft for me.
Let thy voice become prayer

While catch its echoes sweet,
Lowly kneeling at your feet.
Sing, but let the music be, .a zess zff

There was one who could impart
Solace to my aching heart,

With her voice attuned to praise,
Sang that song in ether days.

The Great Distress of the Work
ing People.

The London correspondent of th,
Chicago Journal writes: The gen
erat distress throughout the country
is becoming more and more apparent
and affecting all classes of society
Occasional incidents show more vi,
wildly than long histories what con.
dition we are getting into. Since
the collapse of the Glasgow Bank,
several of the Oldest banking houses
in the country have gone down, car
rying with them numerous msnufac-
turers who depended on them fer
their current resources, aud the clos.
ing OF their manufactories has thrown
thousands of families into instant
poverty and distress. Trade and
commerce are so bad everywhere
that the Oldest established liouees
are driven TO reduce their rate Of
wages, and this leads TO strikes in
almost every branch of business.
The very docks a. L'r-rt col are com.
paratively deserted. al the ship
owners, whose reduc on Of wages
has led to a strike there, threaten to
remove their ships to Bristol and
Cardiff, and elsewhere, where labor
is cheaper. Only yesterday it was
announced that the celebrated ship
building firm of Penn & Co., and an
other almost as large at Greenwich,
had resolved upon a reduction of u
per cent, and the result is that their
1000 workmen go out on strike
next Monday. The same thing is
going on everywhere.

THE ART OF ADVERTISING.
SOME OF THE ABSURD METHODS:
HOW MONEY IS WASTED.
Cincinnati Gazette,

One of the queer things in business is
the propensity of people to seek irregu-
lar mediums for advertising. 1t is un-
accountable the prices that some men
pay for sticking their advertisements in
irregular places. Especially is this so
e when compared with their unwilling
ness to pay anything for advertising in
the regular channels. Men will pay
large sums for inserting their business
cards in section of frame in hotel,
bar room, street car, railway station, or
in hotel register, or an almanac, or
guide book, or annual of one sort or an
other. The byways they seek, or that
successfully solicit them, are innumera-
BILE. Likewise they will spend large
sums for printing special circulars,
and in postage to send them. In
all this they ignore the most essen
tiaI condition in advertising, namely
that it has the character and effect from
the medium through which it is given
to the reader. Advertisements thrust
into irregular and unbusinsss places
impress the general mind that the con-
Germ is of a similar character On the
other hand, an advetisment in general
newspaper of frst-class standing carries
che impression that the advertiser has
standing in his own community which
he is not afraid to show to his neighbors,
and that he does not shrink from compe-
tition with the best of them. These are
the different impressions that are made
on all minds by advertising in a journal
of high character circulation among the
reputable classes, and when seen in by
places and irregular and low channels.
Every one finds this in his own feel
fngs, if he would but think on the sub
ject. If any one is going in place to
buy, whether he be trader or buying
for his own use, and has to seek dealers
through advertisements, where will he |
look for them ? To registers, almanacs,
theater bill frames, in railway stations,
occasional advertising sheet or circular?
On the contrary, he looks to the most
reputable newspapers of the place, and
he thiRks that advertising in these gives
an assurance of the good standing of |
the advertiser and his business enter |
prise, and of the sufficiency of his stock. |
