Some men say that they have tried
advertising and found ont that it does
not pay. But how have they tried it :
For a month, doubtless, and observing
no result, have discontinued the ex-
pertinent and never resumed. They
regard their spasmodic attempt al a
sufficient test Of tho whole question.
Well, it isn't. The greatest secret in
advertising is persistence. This we
regard as a demonstrated fact, as
we'll established Ia any other fact of
business experience. You may tell
q man a thing once OF twice, v e in a
persuasive manner, and he will forget
it before he has u chance to profit by
it, but tell it to him every day or
week, or as often ns you meet him,
and he cannot forget it. The fact
will Become y part of himself from
which he cannot escape, and sooner or
latter he will he governed by it.
Were we to illustrate our views, the
wealth of exam lee would be embar-
RAISING.
We clip the following as offering q
hint to advertisers, which ought not to
be lightly passedover. Those who think
that u taking advertisement is every
thing need to be reminded that per-
Torrance must keep pace with promise
1t advertising is to he a success !: IAN
advertisement has been defined by u
careful and otherwise excellent author
ity to be the public announcement of
a fact There is a pregnant, though
perhaps inviting suggestion in this
definition to those who advertise ; it is
that whenever OF however they make
this public announcement and what
ever be the subject of it, the matter or
thing advertised should be a fact. 1t
is no greater mistake for him who has
good and genuine to sell,
to leave the public to find it out them 4
than to attract people by a 'tak-
advertisement that lacks the ele- |
of TRUTH"
Says a sensible writer The word |
ing Of an advertisement is in some |
sense a literary accomplishment !; for
It Is necessary to use terse and def. |
mite expressions which shall at the
time be pleasing to the reader,
whose chief attention is to be directed
to certain special advantages in the
offered or in the scheme
proposed. 1t must also be considered
that to word an advertisement effec-
lively We must know what has been
said and what has not been said in the
announcement made by others, and
must be able to display some original
ty or to SNATCH . grace beyond the
each Of art by some telling or piquant
phrase which will dwell in the mind
the reader whose eye has been at
'racted BY it. l may 60 still further
md remark that to word an advertiser
nent effectively it is necessary to see
the principal end in view, aud J!
o make the whole composition SUBJ
'srvient to it. Loosely or ambiguous
y wOrded announcements are Of little

Mr.. George Barclay, of the British,
legation, has of late been sufficiently
epris of Miss Letter, the western heir

attractive young gentleman who has
won fame and money Mt the Knicker-
booker Club, in New York, by back
ing himself to drive to the Brunswick
Hotel, dress for dinner and return in
side Of ten minutes. 1t seems that on
Wednesday Mr.. Barclay felt the ap-
prOach of the cod wave and purchas-
ed some of those warm wooden gar
pents which stick closer than a bro

afternoon he ordered a box of roses to
be sent to his lodgings, intending them
for the lady with whom he was to
dance the cotillion that evening.
Late for dinner, az usual, he rushed
home, dashed off a pretty note to Miss
Letter, saying Swear these this eve
ming for my sake" and handed the
hote and the box containing the WOOL
en- goods to his servant, who duly de-
hvered them, while the box of 9

/ dropped a pebble in the stream;
It sunk forever from my sight;
4 moment in the suns warm beam
diamond sparkled warm and bright
Rejecting far its radiant light.
L circle, small indeed at first,
Widened, cen midst the tenpest's
roar,
Until at last it family burst
And vanished on the farther shore.
A frown, a scowl, an angry glance,
A hasty or unguarded word,
A formal bow, a look askance-
These quicker than a swift winged
bird,
Pierce to the heart like two edged
sword;
Spreading a balefml influence wide,
They cast a mirksome shade and
gloom
Across life's rough and troubled tide,
And reach INTO the silent tomb,
A word, a look of sympathy,
A penny generously bestowed,
A simple act of courtesy,
A kindly influence shed abroad,
And from the soul lift many a load
These angel deeds, grand and sublime,
Like ripples on the restless sea,
Sweep DER the fretful stream Of time,
And reach into eternity.

Youthful Marriages.

Philadelphia Record
There is diversity OF opinion on the
subject OF youthful marriages. 1t may
be question whether young people
know their own minds sufficiently well
before the age of twenty-five to hazard
final choice. Taste changes very
much between the age of eighteen and
the age above mentioned. Many who
have made their choice earlier have car
ried it out from a sense of honor and
not from love, because wider range OF
choice has shown them, too late, alas! .
their mistake. The burdens of life are
heavy enough to bear without adding
this. the SoreSt of all.
Where the husband and the wife
really love each other they get along
we'll through all the YicisSitudeS of life
because one Unreasonable source of
happiness always remains to them what
ever disasters betide, and that is their
unfailing sympathy with each other.
Nothing less than this enables young
couple to endure with equanimity all
the cares and anxieties and disappoint-
ments of married life. Nothing is more
common than to see two young persons
marry with the approval of the
families and all the friends on
eacn size. wv ndC 1OrtunaIe
match for both of tnem!" every
body exclaims. To outside appearance
it is. A little time elapses-it may be
few years, or it may be only one
when, to the surprise of their aequaint-
ances, it is announced that the mar
riage has turned out unhappily. The
explanation is Simple-there was no love
between them. There was degree Of
friendship; there was mutual expee-
tation of advantage from the connec-
ton, but love there was not. For the
ordinary transactions and relations of
life respect and friendship are all that
are required. 1t is not so in marriage.
Nothing there will supply the place of
love. The belief that there are substi-
tutes for it is one on which many a gay
and hopeful young couple have trusted
their happiness, only to find it total
wreck.

A RIVER PARTY.

Those who saw the steamer st. Paul
make her landing here at 9 a. m. Friday
last, we're forced to the conclusion that
steamboating on the Upper Mississippi
IS by no means on the Wane. Besides
being heavily loaded with freight, she
carried 1873 through passengers from st.
Louis to st. Paul, to say nothing OF the
large number Of way passengers be-
tween these points. The river is low,
and consequently the steamer was some
what behind schedule time. 1t is more
than likely that she will not make this
port again this season, but will make
the northern terminus WinOna, trans
ferring to rail at that point. 1t is the
intention of the management to put
three new steamers in this trade next
season, and should the water be at the
proper stage, the citizens of the Twin
Cities may expect to see revival of the
palmy steamboat days of the early six
lies. Commodore Petsch and his corps
of Obliging assistants are doing all in
their power to make it comfortable for
the travelling public, and it is to be
hoped that their efforts will be crowned

The English Woman.

There is, says Mrs. Alexander, how
ever. one style of dress in which the
English woman excels, and has made
peculiarly her own. 1t is the first morn
ing toilet, when she comes down to
breakfast. The fair skin aud delicate
color: the dress, in summer and in the
country, of some washing, material s.,
collar or lace cravat all so 1resh
and spotless: the soft golden brown
hail hair So carefully yet simply arranged;
the dainty refinement of all details
makes her appearance each morning on
the domestic stage a "thing of beauty
and a joy" In evening dress, zen
grand tenu," she is also fair, but stately
and more imposing, perhaps, than at
tractive.
1t is in the small couqetries Of adorn-
ment, in that essentially foreign inStitu-
ton ''demi toilet" that the Eng lish
woman fails. Simplicity and grandeur
alike suit her, but dressy compromise
between the two does not come so
naturally,
