When to Advertise.

The Philadelphia Times says that adver-
tisers who understand their business adver-
tise more heavily in the season of dull trade
than the season of live trade. 1t is the slow
horse that needs the lash, not the fast one
The steady goers are the successful adver-
tisers. They build up great business by
keeping themselves before the public, sum-
mer and winter, and whether it rains or
shines, or is feast day or fast day.

Anecdote of Peter Cartwright.

 During Senator Spooner's last visit here 6 little group gathered around him, and began telling tales of revival times ''I remember hearing my father tell of hearing Cartwright once," he said. "The services were in the woods, and the people came from counties around to see and hear the great exhorter After the singing, which seemed to shake the very oaks, was over, Cartwright began: ''I hear there is new religion started down in Boston, and it's believers are called Universa- lists. They think that everybody, good or bad, is going straight to heaven, whatever he may have done on earth. All Pm going to say about them is to tell story. You have all heard about good. old Noah-how the world became so wicked that the Lord man, and the Lord had him build an ark All the living things on earth were placed in that ark, and then Moan and his family got on board as the floods came. For forty days they hoated about until the waters subsided, and then they landed on Mount Ararat. Noah was good man. He lived so many hundred years in trial and trouble His life was full of afiictions, and when he died he went to heaven. As he stepped inside the pearly gates the fellows who had been drowned many hundred years before because they were so wicked gathered around to look at the old man, who had been passing his life in tribulations, while they were enjoying the bliss of heaven. Finally one who had never liked Noah on the earth because he was always preaching goodness said to him: Well, old man, you've got along at last, have your"

She was a pretty little girl with light faxen hair and blue innocent eyes, and did not appear to be more thar twelve or thirteen years of age. Her pa rents, however, insisted that she was sixtee1 and were very anxious that I should marry her to the groom, fine looking young Ger man of twenty one. The girl was more than willing and finally consented. The mother remarked as the knot was tied, There; In glad it's done. She mightn't a had another chance in many year I hope the poor lit tie thing is happy.
 "A fine, healthy looking young farmer came in one night with large female of un certain age and apparently decided strength of mind, and desired the usual service.

A Duck Story.


 Several old sports were seated around the table at the Board of Trade last Sunday, and as usual were deeply interested in narratins their achievements in the duck-hunting line and some very tall yarns were spun, but as nobody questioned the volunteered expert ence of anybody else in the crowd, every thing went along peaceably until Colonel Mi nor took hand with the following state ment which for the time being completely paralyzed the boys:
 '"You fellows think you're mighty smart when you try to stuff us that you've killed forty and fifty ducks at shot, You're no good. saw shot once that killed mil lionl"
 "Oh, let up," chorused the gang
 Wont do it. If you don't leave me alone I'll make it two million, and then I'll be on the inside.''
 "Let's have it then, if it isn't too much sudden deathr
 me or not" said the old gentleman, ''but it's the truth Pm telling you. In 1S45 I was captain of the steamboat Gazelle, running in the Gulf trade from Houston to Galveston, coasting as it were. At the northern end of the bay was river barely navigable at the best or tlmeS The surrounding country was unsettled and the region was a perfect god send for sportsmen. Winged game were in numerable and seemingly made it their head quarters, more especially during stormy weather, as the locality was well sheltered and landlocked. A storm aroGe after we left Galveston en this particular trip and as steamboats were not built either as large or as substantial as they are at the present time We broke for shelter and anchored at the mouth of the riser. The spot is now known as San Jacinto Bay It was barely twilight, but the whole river as far as we could see was solid mass of ducks, geese and trout Suddenly flash of lightning a thunder bolt sprang out of the sky; there was a deafening and blinding shock such I had never before have ever since experienced, and all those ducks turned up their toes."
 ''Kili lem alla' asked one of the crowd.
 'Blessed if I know" said the colonel, s'but the whole of Galveston bay was coy cred with ducks for a fortnight The people lived on salted duck for about year, and l gathered in about one hundred and sixty bales of feathers

Near Renovo and about five miles west of Young woman's creek the large wooden bridge across the Susquehanna river was swept away. At this hour @ p. m.) there are no evidences that the waters are subsid- ing and the people are greatly excited, fearing much more danger should the rain continue. As this is distinctly numbering country the heaviest losers will be the lumbermen who have been unable to control their log booms.

 MONTPELIER, Vt., Jan. 5.-The thaw of the past week followed yesterday and last night by hard rain has raised the rivers to dangerous height. In the north branch the ice has all broken up and is moving down in immense masses at rapid rate. An ice jam on the Winooski this morning destroyed the first trestle between here and Barre on the Vermont Central road and swept it into the river Many of the highways are sub merged and much damage is already report ed The rain still continues and as both rivers are rising rapidly more trouble is ex- pected from the high water and floating ice.

JOHN RUSKIN ON IRELAND.
The Great Art Critic Sets All London
 Laughing.

The Great Art Critic Sets All London Laughing.
 LONDON, Jan. 5.-Mr. Ruskin writes to the Pall Mall Gazette on the Irish question the following characteristic letter: "Would it not be well to take some account of the fol lowing ineradicable virtues of the Irish race in our schemes for their management First, they are artistic people and can design beautiful things and execute them with inde- fatigable industry. Secondly, they are a witty people and can by no means be gov erned by witless ones. Thirdly, they are an affectionate people, and can by no means be governed on scientific principles by heartless persons. Permit me to observe further that as Scott is authority for Scotch character, Maria Edgeworth is authority for Irish, and that her three stories of 'Qrmond,' tEnnui' and The Absentee' contain more essential truths about Ireland than can be learned from any other sources whatsoever"
 Its representative has cabled tonight to the Boston Globe as follows:
 Londoners tonight are amusing themselves over John Ruskin's apotheg1n that because the Irish are witty and warmhearted they cannot be governed intelligently by the Eng fish, who, according to the querulous art critic, are both Yitless and heartless. Mt. Ruskinis brief. standardization to the Pall Mall Gazette is not explicit enough to indi- cate just what he thinks would be suitable policy to adopt in regard to the government of this witty and affectionate people, but ths natural inference is that as Inc disfaY prs i government 'fby Englishmen he must favor home rule. Just how a people chiefly distinguished by the happy go-1ucky disposition attributed to them by Mr. Ruskin are better fitted for self-government than for being governed is also left unexplained. However, everything that Ruskin says is interesting to the English people, and no one looks for anything practical from one so welded to purely artistic views that he makes war upon all modern civilization be- causesits railways spoil his landscape.
