A Coop RuLE.-There are few srules
which always hold good in advertising -.
One of them is this. always advertise when


business is dull. It does not follow from
this that you should never do so when it
is good. 1t is we'll to advertise at all
times, but imperative when trade is stag
nant. In busy times all can find enough
to do. In dull times those get the trade
who advertise the wisest and best. and
those who do not sit on their counters and
grumble and lose money. But the mis-
take which most persons make whom they
begin to retrench and cut off expenses q
dull times is that they retrench in the very
matter which they least Of all can afford
to do without. They sever the surest and
best feeder of their business and congrst-
ulate themselves on having reduced their
expenses. The man who regards judici-
Gus advertising as an expense and not IS
a profit has not as yet learned to UNDER
stand the first and most important princi-
pie of trade. ss+ susss

Ask the father and the mother, weep

only child. whether they regret that the
child was born. Ask them the same
question in after years, when the little life
has come to thread of gold running
through their experiences. If they give
an affirmative answer, I will be silent
No, my married friends-you who will
shrink from accepting the choicest privi-
leges bestowed Upon you-you are wrong;
and if you live, you will arrive at period
where you will see that there are rewards
and punishments attached to this thing.
What is to sustain you when in old age
the charms of youth all past, desire ex-

you sit at your lonely board, and think
of the strangers who are to enjoy the fruit
of your most fruitless life? Who are to
feed the deadening affections Of your heart
and keep life bri ght and desirable to its
close, but the little one whom you reared
to manhood and womanhood? What is
to reward you for the tolls Of life, if you
do not feel that you-your thoughts. your
blood, your infuence-are to be continu-
ed in the future? Do you like the idea
of having hirelings. or those who are anx-
ious to get rid of you, about your dying
bed? Is it not worth something to have
a family of children whom you have rear
ed, lingering about your grave with tears
on their cheeks and blessings on their
lips-tears for great loss. and blessings
on the hallowed influence which has train
ed them in the path Of duty. and directed
them to life's noblest ends?

Pastor in His New Foid-smyt tn ON His


Own Hook.


Few people doubted that the gin and milk
martyr would soon find a new congregation II
he did not found new Church. Mr.. Smyths
first appearance at Masonic Hall yesterday
goes far to show that he has approached both
one and the other. Taking for his text the
thians, he avowcd himself rejoiced that the
chains and the strait jacket of the regular
Presbytcry had been removed from him ana
that he was now free to preach as Luther
preached and as Christ preached to the Jews,
according to the great doctrine of the right of
private Judgment. The ''Church of the
Pharisees" holds him no longer. Smyth hence
forth stands upon the bottom OF his own
pulpit, and, if we can judge from the cordial
manner in which the exilcd martyr was received
by his new congregation yesterday, we should
say that the pulpit is likely to be well propped
up. We must understand MIR. Smyth to mean
that the strait jacket church which he has
abandoned cripples its ministers in teaching
the Gospel with certain restrictions not in

accordance with s'the fundamental doctrine of
the Reformation" when he states that now, if
God gives him the opportunity, he will 'teach
the Gospel Of the Lord freely, fully, without
alteration, and free from the interference or
dictation of any man" The question might
be asked, under what circumstances, then, has
Mr.. Smyth been preaching the Gospel OF
the Lord all this time in Eleventh street,
That he was doing his work conscientiously
no one doubts-not even the bigoted Pharisees
who drove him from their tempIe--but it is
evident from this admission that he was not
allowed to exercise freely the right OF private
judgment, nor to follow very strictly the ''fln-
damenlal doctrines OF the Reformation"


However, he has full fling now, and he can
bang away at the Pharisees, lead bis new flock
to salvation, and-if in the course of human
events it should become necessary-after an
exhausting sermon to tako little gin and
milk on Sunday, he will have no narrow minded
masters to haul him over the Goals there reior.
Leaning upon ST. Paul. even as he did in his
opening sermon yesterday, he can point to the
great apostles advice to Timothy, and there is
no man to gainsay him.

committing depredations upon Republicans
throughout the State, to terrify and keep a
sufficient number away from the polls for
them to carry the election. The people
know this to be SO. We tell them that it is
so. There will be no protection for life or
property if the Kuklux party succeed in
getting control at the next election. Put
the Kuklux in power and Congress will be
compelled to place this State under military
rule, and proceed TO reconstruct the State
again. Labor will he low. Land and
property of all kinds will not sell for any
thing. Business of all kinds will sta.nate,
and everything that the people have been
called upon to suffer and bear will have to
be gone through with again, to prevent the
Kuklux Democracy from running the State
and numbering the people. We repeat the
issue is PEACE or WAR. Those who vote
for the Kuklux Democracy vote for war
those who vote for the Republicans vote fol
peace. Choose to-day.

DEAR SIR : In reply to your enquiry as

whether they are in accordance with our
understandings on that su .ject, l have
have to say that they are now in the hands
of the printer and will be ready for distri-
button in lew days
You will find them substantially in accOr-
dance with our understandings, arrived at
in our frequent interviews on the subject,
though not in every particular as liberal as
you desired. think you will say. however,
that they are quite as liberal as the impera
tive requirements of the law and uniform
collection of the revenue will admit.
According to my recollection they are
similar 10 the bill which you offered in the
House of Representatives some time since
You will understand, of course, that it is
not possible to collect revenue from this
source without imposing requirements that
are more or less onerous, and that require
ments for the protection of the honest tax
payers from the competition of the dishen--
est and Irresponsible


Aided by information and advice from
yourself and Others familiar with the sub
ject, we have been enabled to prepare the
regulations so rs to remove all unnecessary
obstacles to "a convenient and profitable
prosecution of this business, and hope that
your constituents may reap the benefits of
ysur untiring labors in this matter by Sue
cessful prosecution nt their business under
