THE GAME OF LIFE.
This life is but a game of cards, which
mortals have to learn;
Each shuffles, cuts and deals the and
each a trump doth turn; .
Borne bring u high card to the top, and
others bring a low—
Some hold n hand quite flush of trdmps,
while others none can show.
Some shuffle with n practiced hand, and
( pack their crads with care,
So tiicy may know, when they arc dealt,
Where all the leaders are:
Thus fools are made the duftes of rpgues,
while rogues each other client,
And he is very wise indeed, who never
meets defeat
Dm the* ace,the
counting cards to save,
Some play the deuce, and some the ten, but
many play the knave;
Some play for money, some for fun, anti
some for worldly fame.
But not until the game’s played out cun
they count up their game. m
When hearts are trumps, they play for love,
and pleasure rules the hour;
No thoughts of sorrow elftek our joy in
beauty’s rosy bower:
We sing, wc dance, sweet verses make, our
cards at random play,
And while our trump remains on top, our
game’s a holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the pack,
, tlie players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won by gam
blers young and old;
Intent on winning, each his game doth
wutali with eager eye,
How ho may sec his neighbor's cards, and
beat liiui on the sly.
When clubs are trumps, look out for war,
on ocean and on land;
For bloody horrors always come when
clubs arc held in hand.
Then lives arc staked instead of gold, the
dogs of war are treed—
Tills side the broad Atlantic, late, the clubs
have bad the lead!
Last game of all, is wlteu the spade is turned
by hand of Time —
lie always deals the closing game, in every
age and clinic.
No matter ltow much each man wins, or
how much each man saves,
The spade will finish up the game, and dig
the players' graves I
THE ROTATION OF CROPS.
The rotation system, which good tillers fix - ,
Emhroi.es five seasons, aud suim-linics full
six.
When one crop suecoedeth throbgh many
Jong years,
Each harvest dccrcuscth and dwarfeth the
cars.
If herds of neat cattle or sheep be thy care,
Then grass in rotation must lorut a good
share;
When corn, barley, clover, and turnips und
wheat,
Comprise the rotation, field peas will be
meet
Ere plowing and sowing, the tiller should
know
What crops the ground likclh the better to
grow.
First, break up thy grass land, and plant it
with corn,
The field, the next season, let barley adom.
Succeeding the barley, sow buckwheat or
oats;
Then harvest a pea crop to nourish your
shntes;
Oft plowing anil teasing and weeding the
grouud,
With liberal compost scattered around.
And sprinkle with ashes to make the land
sweet,
With lime and some bone-dust to fatten
the wheat.
The next in rotation, a crop of red clover;
When blossoms arc fragrant, then let the
plow cover.
A six years’ rotation now bcarctli the sway,
And sboweth the tiller a progressive way.
A six years’ rotation will cattle increase;
Will multiply bushels, and debtors release.
A six years’ rotation, when fairly begun,
Will harvest two bushels where now grow
cth one;
A six years’ rotation, as all will agree,
Two years’ yield clover, is better than
three.
When poor soil needs succor, to keep the
land clean,
Grow clover, and sow corn to turn under
green;
But whore fertile muck and light soils
abound,
Arrange the rotation as suiteth the ground.
COMPENSATION.
There’s nofa heath, however rude,
But bath some little flower
To brighten up ita solitude,
And scent the evening hour.
There’s not a heart, however cast
By grief or sorrow down,
Bnt hath some picture of the past
To love and call its own
BfattHintg.
The Art of Advertising.
Tho following reasonable hints to
business men, in relation to the “ art
of advertising,” are just as trite in one
place as elsewhere:
Advertising is an art, and that it is
one Hint pays let tho thousands in this
country who have grown rich by .it
answer. We do not say that no man
who has not properly advertised has
prospered in business, but wc do say
that it is a rare case where any busi
ness might not have been greatly aug
mented by a judicious use of “ prin
ter’s ink.”
VVliat is advertising ? The art of
making your wares known; giving
publicity to your business, XgßJiaiw,
your interest to fill the wants with the
wnres—to bring producer and con
sumer, tradesmen and purchasers, to
gether. This is what signs are for,
tastefully arranged store windows and
the like. Tiicy are to captivate the
eye. The eye is the sentinel of the
will. Capture the sentinel and you
curry the will. Impress the senses
and you move the choice. The feet
follow the eyes. See how they pause
at the shop window, aud how they
covet what is in it. Some of them
step in and inquire the price; others
step in and buy, not because tiicy have
the money about them; but because
the winning window won it away from
them.
This is what an advertiser assaults
first and last of all, the eyes. It is in
vain to reason with your customers.
Customers do not reason, do not ar
rive at a purchase by a slow method
of military “approaches,” impelled by
an elaborate ratiocination, but carry
the coveted commodity by a sudden
assault, pricked up to it by the in
domitable bayonets of the artist in
advertising.
It is this untiring, unremitting, ev
erlasting, never-take-no-for-an-answer
appeal to the eyes of tho people who
want their hair to grow, by the people
who have snmelhing for sale which
they sny will make the hair grow, that
curries the day, splatters the hair tonic
over innumerable scalps, and puts
fortunes in the bank to the credit of
the—advertiser.
This is the way to do it. Have a
good article, an article that will do
good, and then stick it at them. Hit
them in the face with it, slash them
in the eyts with it. This is the art of
advertising. Say you lidvc a hat—a
good lint—a bat that is worth having
on anybody’s bead. Well put it on
everybody’s head. You can do it by
advertising it. Other baiters may
make a living, you may make a for
tune—by advertising 1 In all New
York there is only one hatter. In
Philadelphia there are imposing piles
of brown stone otfficd by Dr. Jayne.
They are built out of advertising. In
New York there is a huge pile on
Broadway worth its weight in gold,
and an aero of ground of fabulous
costliness, the property of Dr. Brnn
ilretli. All of it goes to the credit of
advertising. Brandreth’s pills are
household words—because Braudreth
was an adopt in advertising. But it
can only be got out by “pegging
away.”—the first arid chief, anil al
most the only qualification of a suc
cessful ailvcrtister. To be the only
hatter in town, you have only to say
you arc, somewhere where the peo
ple sec you say it. To have the only
hair touic, or pills, or bitters that the
people need, you have only to poke
their eyes with the assertion that you
have.
There is only here and there one in
any branch of money-making that
looms up and fills the public eye, and
monopolizes the public purse. These
are they who understand the art of
advertising, and appreciate the indis
putable fact that the way to make
money out of advertising is to stick
to it
To make advertising pay, it must
be stuck to with all the pertinacity
that is indispensable to success in the
prosecution of every other art. There
are some men in this country who
spend fifty thousand, and others who
spend one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars per annum for advertising.
Anti every one of them is getting rich
out of it.
IST There is more poison in one
package of tobacco than in the tin
foil that surrounds a hundred. If
anybody doubts this, let him hold a
( sheet of white paper over the smoke
that curls up from the burning to
bacco, and after a pipeful or a cigar
has been consumed, scrape the con
densed smoke from tho paper and
put a very small amount on the
tongue of a cat, and he will see her
die of “strokes of paralysis” in fif
teen minutes.

tising after reading the following I

A RECORD OF HOT SUMMERS.
From tho published record kept
at Nurctnburg, iu Bavaria, wo get
the following interesting facts rela
ting to extremely hot seasons in time
past:
In tho year 1132 the earth cracked
by reason of the heat; the wells and
streams iu Alsace all dried up, and
tho bed of the River Rhine was
dry.
In the year 1152 the heat was so
great that sand exposed to the sun’s
rays was hot enough to cook an
**ln 11 GO great numbers of soldiers
in the campaign against Bela died
from tho effects of the heat. r
in ISt r#i-7 tlio' iJrhpi * df ltfy and*
oats failed completely.
Iu the years 1303-4 a man could
have crossed dry-shod over the rivers
Seine, Loire, Rhino and Danube.
In 1393-4 a multitude of animals
perished by means of heat, which
was so great that the harvest dried
up.
In 1440 the heat was extraor
dinary.
In the years 1538, 1539, 1540 and
1541 all the rivers were nearly dried
up.
In 1556 there was a great drought,
extending over nearly’ the whole of
Europe.
In 1615 and 1616 there was, in
Italy, France and the Netherlands, an
overpowering heat.
In 1648 there were fifty-eight con
secutive days of extreme heat.
The year 1678 was very hot, and
as were the first three years of the
eighteenth century.
In 1718 it did not rain a single
time from April until October I The
growing grain was burnt, the rivers
dried up, the fheatres (but wherefore
is not stated) were closed by com
mand of the police. The thermome
ter allowed 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
In irrigated gardens the fruit trees
bloomed twice.
In 1723 and 1724 there was very
great heat.
The summer of 1748 was very hot
and dry, the growing grain being
absolutely calciued. It did not rain
for many months.
The years 1748, 1754, 1760, 1767,
and 1783, were also years iu which
the summers wore extremely hot.
In the famous comet year—lßll
summer was very warm, and the
wine produced that season was con
sidered very precious.
In the yenr 1818 the theatres had
to be closed on account of the heat,
the highest temperature being thirty
live llcaumer, or 111 Fahrenheit.
During the three days of the revo
lution of July, in 1839, the thermom
eter stood at thirty-six degrees centi
grade, about the same as
seven Fahrenheit.
In 1832, during the uprising of the
sth and 9th of July, the thermometer
was about the same.
The Seine was nearly dried up in
1835.
In June, 1850, when the cholera
appeared for the second time, the
temperature was only about 75 Fahr
enheit.
The highest degree of heat that
man can withstand for any lengthened
period, varies from 104 to 122 of
Fahrenheit scale. But with a much
lower temperature, numerous deaths
occur.

The Drunkard’s Dally Life. •,
The Atlantic Monthly gives thefoi'
lowing graphic sketch of the daily ex
perience of every drunkard:
The daily life of one of the steady
drunkards is like this: Upon getting
up in the morning, after a heavy, rest,
less, drunkard’s sleep, he is miserable
beyond expression, and almost help
lesß. In very bad cases, be will see
double, aud his hands will tremble so
that lie cannot lift to his lips the glass'
for whicu he has a desire amounting
to mania. Two or three stiff glasses'
of spirituous liquor will restore him'
so far that lie can control his muscles,
and get about without betraying his
condition. After being up an hour,'
and drinking every ten or fifteen min
utes, lie will usually be able to eat a
pretty good breakfast, which,' With the
aid of coffee, tobacco, and a compare
tively small quantity of liquor, he will
Iks able to digest. After breakfast,
for some hours, be will generally be
able to transact routine business, and
associate with his fellows without
citing their pity or contempt. As
dinner-time draws near, he feels the
necessity of creating an
which he often accomplishes by drink
ing some of those infernal compounds
which are advertised on the oternat
rocks and mountain sides as Bitters,
under various names, offered to the
public, and displayed behind bars in'
drinking saloons, some with certifi
cates of physicians attached, which)
arc usually vile compounds of refuse
whiskey , condemned cordials , wine?
etc., mixed together and flavored to
suit the taste with a few herbs, spree?
and sugar, aud sold under the names'
of Tonics, Restorers, Appetizers, etc.
Many persons are induced to take
them, believing them to be beneficial.'
when, if they knew the vile stuff ffoM‘,
which they arc made, not one out of
a thousand would taste them. ~
It is vain for advocates of temper
ance to write, speak, or labor, for re
form while this shamcftil business is
carried on, and physicians can be
found to sanction and recommaaii
ithem, . . - ’,
It is not surprising that sensible
people are becoming disgusted with
tho name of “Bitters,” which arc
nothing but the worst liquors dis
guised as medicines, and do but lure
the tippler on to ruin and destruction.'
Elections will be held this fhli
in all tho States except Oregon, New
Hampshire, Connecticut aud Rhode
Island. Sixteen States are to choose
United States Senators, and five have
already done so. Oregon han fts
