THE WAY To SING.

The birds must know. Who wisely sings
Win sing - they.
The common CIR has generous wings:

No messenger to run before,

No mention Of the place, or hour.

No waiting till some sound betrays

No different voice-no new delays

And eager eyes
Go peering through the dusky wood
In glad surprise.
Then late at night, when by his fire
The traveller sits,
Watching the flame grow brighter, higher,
The sweet song fits
By snatches through his weary brain.
TO help him rest.
When next he goes that way again.
An empty nest
On leafless bough will make him sigh:
''Ah me! last spring.

A Few Cheerful Facts.

Doubtless there have been rapid growths
in the circulation of Washington news
papers in times past, but we are sure that
no Washington newspaper has ever expert
cneed so rapid, continuous, and healthy an
increase Of circulation as has been enjoyed
by the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN during the
last ten months.
The efforts Of the management to increase
the value Of the paper by securing special
telegraphic correspondence and by liberal
expenditure for news at home and abroad
have found prompt appreciation. There
has not been q single day since last March
that has not found the circulation of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, larger than 1t was
on the preceding day.
Not only in this District and in contiguous
states, but in every state Of the Union and
in all the territories, our regular daily and
weekly. issues are making rapid headway,
while the eight-pagc Virginia edition is
growing with n rapidity that seems almost
phenomenal, and the foreign and consular
edition is meeting with marked success
Letters from every part of the Union and
from every foreign country assure the man
agemcnt Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
that the paper is filling its true mission by
utilizing the great facilities found here, and
here only at the headquarters of the ma
tion, at the political metropolis, aud the

our DeIiNery system.

The delivery OF morning papers in this city
is done by route system, in charge of each
route Is an agent, VINO purchases the papers at
a fixed price per 100 copies, and contracts to
deliver to subscribers at 80 cents per month,
and he is at liberty to deliver other papcis for
which he may contract ON his route. This
plan increases the number of papers delivered
in given territory, and enables him to pay
the publisher larger price, as he is able
10 deliver thousand papers as cheaply
ns he could tive hundred. The agent cm
ploys boys, under his supervision, TO deliver,
10 whom he pays fixed price per week.
With n view to stimulating the boys carrying
the pnrc, to more prompt and accurate de-
livery, the NATIuNAL REPUBLICAN offers a re.
ward to the carrier boy on each route who
shal! make the best record for delivery on the
route with which he is connected. Subscribers
will facilitate the plan by informing the boy
where they desire the paper placed, and
promptly looking after same in the morning to
prevent its being stolen.

SYSTEMATIC srocK-rAK1NG.
How the Operation is Conducted in n
Large Establishment.


Notice is given out two weeks in advance
for the clerks to prepare for stock-talking
on stated evening. During the two weeks
previous to the occasion the clerks use their
spare moments measuring and counting
goods which are ticketed; should any guam
tity be sold in the meantime the tickets are
changed accordingly. Slowest goods are
taken in hand first, the last few days being
devoted to goods I'm more active demand;
hence, when the store Is closed on that
evening at o'clock all goods of like char
acter are quickly piled together, totals
added, small ends and trinkets counted,
which occupies but short space of time un-
der the systematic management Of the head
OF the departments--one asserting, another
putting down, another adding the slips,
&c, and then that department is ready.
Each department has writer assigned II
from the office, who stands ready with book,
pen, ink, &c. The head Of the department
calls out the stock to him, and when
through the writer calls back, while one of
the firm and the head Of the department
check 1t of.
llIn place Of the old cost marks this firm
use the "model NUMBER which is taken
down firstat the right of the column the
names Of the goods follow, then the guam
tity, next the retail price, all on one line,
with blank for extension.
Each department uses about eight TO ten
pages of long cap paper, put up in book
form OF about sixty pages each.
AS fastas department is through with,
the clerks begin to straighten up for the
next days business. The departments pre-
sided over by female clerks are taken first,
and many are through by 0 o'clock, the
entire store being taken in the short space
Of five hours, and customers coming In the
next morning would evcrimagine that the
store, comparatively speaking, was "upside
down.
The heads OF the different departments
know how much stock they have, and how
much they had at the previous inventory;
how much he has sold, and knows whether
his department is falling behind or going
forward, and is held responsible according
ly. They are virtually proprietors of store,
drawing as large an income, and In some
instances larger, than II they were ~ busi-
ness alone, and what's better, are without
the anxiety of "poor season." rainy
weather, dull trade, &c. As they have
experienced hands at the helm, the trade
of the many departments balances the
whole. After all II is so many little stores
taking stock, and yet under the able and
systematic management Of Messrs. Wood
ward " Lothrop, the cnterprlsing and
thoroughly experienced firm, they do not
consume half the time usually taken by
one of the smallest establishments
