LOOK OUT FOR HIM.


On Tuesday a young man, a stranger in
town, called in at John T. Evans grocery
store and asked for a cigar, and on being
told they did not keep any, he asked for a
box of sardines. and offered a 500 bill i'll
payment. After the change was handed
to him he suddenly remembered that he
had some small change in one of his pock-
cts, and handed back the change, saying
that he didn't care to carry so much small
change. On receiving back his money he
left at once. Shortly afterwards Mr.. Evans,
attention was called to the suspicious char
acter of the purchaser and he was induced
to count over his change and found that
he was short a $40 bill. He at once started
out to find the young man, but was unsuc-
c~essful. and put Detective Burr on the
trail, but the young man left tow by
boarding IA train at West Moorestown while
they were hunting for him at the other
end of the town and has not been heard of
since. 1t is supposed he was one of the
gang of sharpers who have lately been OPP
Grating in this part of the state, and store
keepers elsewhere will do well to be on
the lookout for Standardization Cbr0n-

wHEs ADvERTlsISe Is wANTED.

From the Bridgeport Post.
There nothing on earth so m~ysteriously
funny as a newspaper advertisement. The
prime, first, last and all the time object Of
an advertisement is to draw the custom.
1t is not, was not, and never will be, de-
signed for any other purpose. So the mer-
chant waits till the busy season comes and
his store is so full of customers he cam
get his hat off, and then he PUSHES to the
newspaper and puts in his advertisement.
When the dull season gets along and there
is no trade, and he wants to sell goods so
bad he can't pay his rent. he takes out his
advertisement. That is, some Of them dc,
but occasionally a ~Ievel-headed merchant
puts in a bigger one, and scoops all the
business, while his ~neighbors are making
mortgages to pay the gas bin. There are
times when you couldn't stop people from
buying everything in the store if you
planted a cannon behind the door, and
that's the time the advertisement is sent
out on its holy mission. It makes light
work for the advertisement, for a chalk

needed and have a half holiday six days in
the week, but who wants TO favor with adj
vertisement? They are built to do hard
work, and should be sent out in the dull
days when a customer has to be knocked
down with hard facts and kicked insensi-
Bile with bankrupt reductions and dragged
in with irresistible slaughter of prices before
he viii spend a cent. That's the aim and
end of advertisement, and if you ever open
a store, don't try to get them to come when
they are already sticking out Of the win
dows, but give them your advertisement
right between the eyes in the duh season.
and You will wax rich and own a fast
horse, and perhaps be able TO smoke q
good cigar once or twice a year. Write
this down where you'll fall over it every
day. The time to draw business, is when
you want business, and not when you have
more business than You can attend to al
ready.

my neck, but after the funeral / lay in the
hospital, sick for weeks with brain fever,
but when | came to myself the box was
still around my neck: here it is, and he
drew from his bosom a small box, which
upon opening, revealed a few withered
leaves.
"They speak of sweet little baby
Bessie" he said, as he closed the box and
slipped it pack under his shirt bosom.
Then he looked me straight in the eye and
said:
please, Mister. don't ever vote for
whisky. 1t killed father and dear little
baby Bessie, my only sister, and locked
mother up in a mad-house. Please don't
vote for rum"
And I, man that | was, drew the little
bootblack down and kissed him and said:
Good helping me l will never vote for
license or whisky men again.'-Temperance

THOUGHTFUL SAYINGS.

To live long it is necessary to live slowly.
To die well one must first learn to live
well.
The plant that is often transplanted does
not prosper.
Concert may puff a man up. but never
prop him up.
Take a rest; a field tina has rested gives
a bountiful crop.
An investment in knowledge always pays
the best interest.
Wisdom is oftimes nearer when we stoop
than when WI soar.
In this world a man must either be an
anvil or a hammer.
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as
not to injure future ones.
No man is born into the world whose
work is not born with him.
He that cannot forgive others breaks the
bridge over which he must pass himself;
for every man has need to be forgiven.
Give not thy tongue too great a liberty,
lest it take thee prisoner. \ word I'M
spoken is, like a sword in the scabbard,
thine; if vented, thy sword is in anothers
hand.

SOMETHING OF a HINT.

The story is going the rounds regarding
a pretty fair practical joke recently per-
petrated by Mr.. Chas. X. Lands, founder
of Vineland and Sea Isle City. 1t seems
that Mr.. Lands has been not a little an
noyed by the receipt of letters from all
over the country, asking how he would
do this. that and the other thing in estab-
fishing settlements, identifying towns,
opening streets, laying out lots, sidewalks,
etc. This thing became considerable of a
nuisance to a busy man, so Mr.. Lands
had a lot of circulars printed saying that
his services could be procured to lay out
town lots, summer resorts, and doing any
thing required in the establishment of a
new town or r%emodeling the plan of an
old one-price 800 per day. This circu-
lar will be sent to all ofiicious inquirers.
and all Others who fancy that a man of ex-
p~erience i'll any department of work, is
simply a sponge, to be squeezed by every
fellow who wants knowledge of a special
kind, but don't want to pay for it. The
circular will probably abate the nuisance
of which Mr.. lands has had reason to
complain.-NTHeile Bulletin.

Like q weaver | sit at life's busy loom;
Like a flash of lightning the shuttle fiies:-

] know they are seen by the Masters eyes.

As backward and forth the shuttle goes,
And, yet to discover, | should almost dread,
How the fabric unseen to the Master grows.

While nothing l see as to him it appears;
Till, at length the whole of life's warp is gone,
And my work is done for these earthly years.

And then twill be seen how I've woven life's
woof:
The black threads and white, the silver and
gold.
By the Master himself will be put to the
proof.
The loom will be hushed and the shuttle still,
And the weaver discharged from his lifelong
task.
And he who has sought best his Masters will
In the Masters smile will forever bask.

Gates, n homesmagazine, and to those who are
acquainted with it, needs no higher recommen-
dation than to say it is better than ever before

in circulation and literary quality, and now is
"A most excellent home magazine, crammed full
of good things, among which there is always
something to amuse or instruct every member

very best writers, its short stories entertain
ing, its descriptive sketches most attractiyely

Mrs. A. NJ. Diaz, Thos. 5. Collier and i. p. Shil-
laber. Its departments of music, fancy-work,
Horticulture, fashions, receipts and household

great practical worth, and VIII prove invalua-
BILE to ladies'. We would especially

partment where they will find puzzles and
games, with prizes offered for correct solu-
ton. In fact, the magazine from its old-time
fireplace on its front cover, all through its we'll
printed and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES pages, is
wholesome and interesting, and taking the
magazine, all in all, we do not see how q family
can get along without its monthly visits. We

Godcy's Lazy Book for May is Il number of
which the publishers may he proud. 1t opens
with a very attractive steel plate frontispiece,
which serves as an illustration TO the story en-
titled Lola" Christian Reid's two-part serial,
al Instrument of Separation opens, and the
story of "Beauty's Child is ended. "Under
Gray Skies is also concluded. Among the
short stories are "Fanchon,' '"A Slight Misun-
derstanding." and "IIer Two Loves" All of
the departments of Godey's LddV'S Book are
well conducted and comprehensive. There is
not another magazine in the country which
offers to its subscribers what this magazine
does,at the lowest possible price of subscrip-
ton. 1t is proposed, if possible, TO make
GodeB,S Ladg's Book still more attractive, and
especially utilitarian so that it may meet and

The editions of The century Magazine are

either to go to press at an earlier date or to

until the 25th of March. The May number

Some people seem to have difficulty in
blooming these, and yet no bulbs are easier
to manage, providing you get good stock.
Whether wanted for blooming in pots or in
the open ground, they may be potted now
in good, rich soil. If only one bulb is
planted in a pot, this need not be larger
than five inches, while a six-inch pot will
| readily hold three bulbs, OF course they
can be shifted afterward, when well rooted,
into pots Of a larger size. After potting,
nut them in the warmeSt place at hand,
and at first do not water more than once
a week. When the tops. begin to grow
they should receive enough water TO keep
the soil moist, but not wet. Toward the
middle of May plant out in the garden II
wanted to bloom there. The tuberose is
one of the choicest of flowers. 1t produces
long spikes of pure white, waN-like, double
flowers of great fragrance and beauty.
BY many its fragrance is considered to be
the finest of all flowers, even one or W
flowers being enough to perfume a whole
room. The comparative low price at
Which the bulbs can be had enables any
one to grow them in quantity.

Every legitimate food satisfies in given
