Advertising, to be effectiye, must BE

seek to gainfhe confidence of the pub

acknowledgements should he marked in
some degree by novelty and freshness.

Constant and well-directed adveftis7
ing cannot fail to bring the richest
returns. The wealthiest of merchants
have often affirmed that no money they
ever spent was so well invested as that
used in advertising. 1t keeps the name
of the advertiser before the people; it
makes him felt and seen as living
actor in the busting life of the day,
abreast of its demands and progress; it
surrounds him with a prosperous air of
activity, of spirit, vigor, business, sue

of success as effectively as advertising,
and, as nothing succeeds like success,
this is one of the explanations of the
efficacy of advertising.

How it Feels to be Hanged.

just at the close of the war, robbers

me out on the gallery, and, throwing
the rope over cross beam, asked

ACommon Sense Talk About Advertising.

This, from the Louisville Courier
Journal, is of general application:
The men who succeed in business
must have something of sagacity and
enterprise to begin with; and in trade
the sagaclous merchant knows that, his
goods secured, the first step necessary
Is to advertise them. Unless he does
this, or others do it for him, success is
absolutely impossible. He must direct
attention to his business in some way,
and everything he does which can make
known in the least degree the character
OF his wares, the location of his house,
his inducements to customers, is an adj
vertlsement, whether it be the mailing
up of his sign, the exhibition of his
goods In the windows and on the side
walk, or his announcement In the pa
pers. There are many ways of adver-
using, and no successful business was
ever yet established except through
some of them. And while numerous
and novel have been the devices en-
ployed by ingenuity and energy, the
pest and most prosperous business men
OF the country have ever united in tes-
dfying that no kind of advertising pays
as well as that done through a good
newspaper. Newspaper advertising
covers the widest field in the shortest
time, reaches the class of people from
whom patronage is most profitable, and
Tor the outlay made is the richest in its
returns. Most other methods of adj
'erhslng appear to partake of the cheap
and elap-trap in character, while the
newspaper announcement carries with
IL an impression of responsibility, sin
Gently and solidity, of the greatest i'm

"TRUTH." THE minds of incoming gen.
erations are as free from the possession of
positive error as of positive truth and they
have capacities that may be qualified to dis
criminate between them. Instil into them
the love of truth, as the supreme good !;
teach them as q matter of conscience and
duty, never to rehearse what is believed not
to be understood lead them from antece-
dent to sequence, from cause to effect, from
element to combinations, and minds will be
reared which will discover truth, not be-
cause they were originally stronger or bet
ter minds, but because from their position
it will be more easy to discern it.

It's lucky it's nobody but me, Phil

Getting the Worst.

some berries, for he had been out all day
gathering them.
Yes, said the lady, "I will take
them" So she took the basket and step
ped into the house, the boy remaining
outside, Whistling to some canary birds
hanging in their cages on the porch.
Why don't you come in and see that
I measure your berries right?" said the
lady; " how do you know but l may cheat

"Get the worst of it! said the lady ;
g what do you mean by that?"
"Why, ma am, said the boy, I should
only lose my berries, and you would make
yourself thief. Don't you think that
would be getting the worst of it?"
The boy was right. He who steals, or
does anything wrong or mean just to gain
a few pennies or a few dollars, loads him
self down with a sin which is worse than
all the gain. Let this be borne in mind
The one who does wrong to another al

Two Bricks to Begin With.

In city renowned for its crowded
churches on Sundays there was one called,
by way of eminence, the Brick church.
1t was the first church built Of brick in
the city. It's congregation had increased
SO that the church could not well accom-.
modate the crowd. 1t was old fashioned,
and behind the times.
At length it was resolved to build
new church. Meeting after meeting was
held, but the prospects for new church
grew more and more discouraging, until
the most hopeful became disheartened,
and were ready to give it up. One morn
ing, after discouraging meeting had been
held, the pastors door bell rang very
early. On opening the door the servant
found small boy, who inquired for Dir.

Little Nyagandi.

Nyagandi is little girl whose home
is a mere hut on the shores of the Ogawe
River in West Africa. A lady who has
gone as a missionary to her people has
told q very pretty story about her,
which we are sure our girls will like to
read
Nyagandi has never worn any cloth
ing in her life, except cloth tied around
her waist 1t has been only lately that
she has thought of wearing anything else.
Since she has been attending school in
the mission-house, and learning to read,
she was anxious to wear dress like her
kind friends, and so with slow but pa
tient fingers she is learning to make one
out of some bright calico.
She owns a conoe, in which she darts
here and there over the creeks and rivers
like graceful, dusky bird.
One Saturday she padded to the mis-
sion-house, and sold some punches of
plantains to the ladies.
"Now, Nya," said one of them, "to-
morrow will be Sunday, and you must
come to service"
al surely WILL" she answered, "if I
am alive"
Saturday night somebody stole Nyas
canoe, and on Sunday nobody would
lend her another, yet she was in her
place in church, and in time. Her home
was on the opposite shore of the river,
at that place third of mile wide, with
a current flowing deep and strong. How
had she crossed?
In the simplest way in the worldly
swimming. Some of the bows had seen
the dark head bobbing up and down in
the waves, or it is doubtful whether she
would have said word about her per-
formance
But, little women, who sometimes pout
at wearing an old bonnet or dress to
church, please think of the African girl,
so anxious to keep her promise, that she
swan the Ogawe on Sunday morning
rather than be absent when the good
missionaries expected to see her at the
Christian worship.--Harper's Young

hands and shut my eyes, and yet / did not
think about it. Thank you, mother,
dear. Please hear me tonight when 1
go to say my prayers.
All, little children, are there not great
many who, like Rena, say their prayers
without thinking what they mean-mere
words without any meaning in them.
God cannot listen to such prayers. They
are not for Him unto whom all hearts are
open, all desires known, and from whom
no secrets are hid.
Think of what 1 have written about
little Rena when you say "Now l lay
me" tonight; and pray that God may
watch over you, waking or sleeping.

which was the Gentleman ?

This little incident, from the Chill
dre7a'S Friend, shows that boys have
different ideas about true politeness:
"You see | am a gentleman p said
Will Thompson. will not take an in
suit" And the little fellow strutted up
and down with rage He had been
throwing stones at Peter Jones, and
thought that his anger proved him to be
a gentleman.
If you want to be a gentleman I
should think you would be gentle boy
first, said the teacher. Gentlemen do
not throw stones at their neighbors.
Peter Jones did not throw stones at you,
and 1 think he SIS much more likely to
prove gentleman
But he has got patches on his knees,
said Will.
Bad pantaloons does not keep boy
from being gentleman, but bad tenn
per does. No, William, if you want to
be a gentleman you must first be gen.
tie boy"
A little further on the teacher met
Peter Jones. Some stones had hit him,
and he was hurt by them.
Well, Peter, what was the matter
between you and Will, this morning ?"
he asked
81 was throwing a ball at one Of the
boys in play, sir, and l missed him and
hit Will Thompson's dog"
" Then when he threw stones at you,
why did you not throw back p
" Because, sir, my mother says to be a
gentleman I must be a gentle boy; and
l thought it best to keep out of his way
until he cooled off little"
The teacher walked on, but kept the
boys in mind He lived to see Will
Thompson rowdy, and Peter Jones a
gentleman, loved and respected by all.
