UNWELcoNfE ADVICE.

Advice is the cheapest of all trans
ferable commodities. Incidentally. 1t
IS one of the least appreciated. Even
the admirable advice rendered to his
son by the venerable Polonius becomes
tiresome. And yet good advice well d.
gested is a most excellent thing.
The other night burglar broke into
the store occupied by a Jersey City
man and made the usual search for
portable booty. He was after money,
and distracted rs cents from the cash
register. which happened to be all that
the receptacle contained. The small
ness Of the amount seems to have filled
the maurader with disgust. He tes-
titled to this In the unsigned note he
left behind when he quietly stole away.
The note was addressed to the. pro-
prietor of the place and contained a
sympathetic sentence or two, in which
the writer satirically lamented the
wretched condition of the storekeeper's
business,-as shown by the paltry sum
in the register-and closed by earnest
ly advising him to sell out.
1t is almost unnecessary to remark
that this form of advice. all things
considered, Is not OF a character to
hold the respect or draw out the
gratitude of the recipient. When burg
lars become commercial guides. and
barn burners pose as authorities on
insurance, and smugglers are consult
ed on tariff revision. the whole moral
fabric will have to be rebuilt.
