THE BEAUTY OF THE HEART.

A lovely form may charm the eye
With fairest loveliness and grace
And oft we may be captured by
The enhancing beauty Of a face
But there's a beauty far more true.
Whose radiant charms shall ne'er
depart,
But every morn and eve be new
Il is the beauty Of the heart.
Beneath the weight Of passing years
The proudest form must stoop and
bend,
And all the charm that beauty wears
Must fade away and have an end,
The sparkling light must leave tn.
eye.
And from the chesk the bloom de
part;
And there's charm that ne'sr shal
die (;
1t 10 the beauty Of the heart.
Tis this that scatters DER llfe's path
The gem, OF happines, and truth
And many charm, In aye It hath,
A. In the rosy morn Of youth.
A charm that wrsaths the earth with
flowers
And doth the sweetest Joys inpart,
Which brightly gilds the saddene &c
hours
II Ia the beauty OF the heart.

About Advertising.

II you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement IL is . great point
gained. The fair sex don't hold oil
the curiosity in the world.
A thing worth doing is worth do
log we'll. A thing worth advertise
ing is worth advertising well. A
n wspaper worth advertising 10 ouce
is wor'h making contract with.
1t Is o mis- aiken notion that Gne
store 10 an eligible location, sur-
rounded by attractive sisos, is a
superior advertisement /; for tue OK
perience OF the most euterprising
merchants is that it pays better to
spend less in rent aud more in ad-
ver,ising.
Advertising is the pole that
knocks the persimmons.
Don't be- afraid to invest in prin-
ter's ink, lest your sauds Of life be
nearly run out.
Trying TO do business without ad-
vertising is like wiukpg at a pretty
1irl through pair Of green goggles
You may know what you are doing,
but nobody else does.
The enterprisiug advertiser proves
that he IN nderstands how to bny
because iu advertising he knows
how 10 sell.
Bread Is ths staff OF hnmnn life
and Advertising is the staff Of busi'
ness.
A simple card may prohtabl,
stand years without change, but q
sensational advertisement should b,
changed as often as You eau got the
printer to do IL.
A heavy advertisement once il
moro than quadruplod in value by ,
small card, published for fov
months after, giving your address.
| You cant eat enough in weel
to last you year, aud you can't ad
vertise On that plan either.
Now is tue tiEe to think abou
Advertising and reflection should be
followed by jndicious ac!i1n.
To make man realize an idea Al
you realize il is what. is necessary t.
make him understand his needs.
| Advertisements should aim I,
place a matter 80 clearly before tn
pubic that they see it as clearly NJ
tue advertiser does.
Enterprising people are beginning
TO learn the value Of advertising th
year round. The persistency oi
those who are not intimidatei b.,
the cry Of dull times kat keel
their names ever before the publ c
will surely place them on the righ
side in the eud.
