The above extract from the Chris
tian Index, embodies a principle that
is not so universally practiced among
the people of the present age as it
might be.
IT PAYS.
A gentleman who has found that
advertising pays has the following to
say, which may be of some benefit to
those business men who “hide their
lights under a bushel:” “I am a
firm believer in advertising, and
think that great pecuniary benefits
may be derived from it when carried
on in a judicious-manner. I have
done some of it myself with good re
sults and have always contended that
newspaper advertising is the best.
The keenest and most successful bus
iness men employ the columns of the
newspaper as their medium of reach
ing the people. Men have often
told me that they have wasched the
effect of advertising certain articles,
and, old business men and advertis
ers though they were, they have been
surprised at the excellent results at
tained. It is not the person who ad
vertises by spurts—‘“fits and starts,
as it were—who sees and receives the
greatest benefits. It is he who keeps
his name and business before the
people constantly, day after day, that
reaps the reward. I would not keep
an advertisement the same the year
around, unless I sought simply to
couple my name with my business,
but would change it frequently, even
if it eost more. In old times if you
changed the reading of your yearly
advertisement oftener than once in
three months you were compelled to
pay extra for setting it up. Now
‘you can have it changed any reason
able number of times a year without
extra cost. The person who keeps
his name and an attractive advertise
ment before the people all the time
is sure to realize from it. If you
want to buy shoes, the person whose
name you see in the newspaper every
day in connection with this branch
of trade, comes to your mind uncon
sciously. You feel acquainted with
him betore you have seen him. This
is common sense, and all judicious
advertisers know it.”
The Florida Medical and Surgical
Journal relates that when Dr. Bowl
ing, a pioneer medical man in the
South, began practice he settled in
the wilds of Kentucky, where he sat
in front of his cabin for six months
without a call. At last he heard the
clatter of a horse’s hoots, and a lank,
barefooted Kentuckian appeared.
“Are you a doctor ?"" he asked. “Yes,
and a good one,” said Bowling.
“What's the matter with that ’ar
foot ?” inquired the man, placing his
heel on the fence. The doctor ex
amined it closely and replied, “That
is erysipelas, sir.” “Ery-hell,” soid
the man, “a bee stung me.” The
Doctor moved to Nashville.

“THE SIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME.”
J. M. 8. in the Joneshoro (Ga.) News,
In the spring of 1861 I was a 14
year-old boy, going to school in the
town of Fayetteville. The war bugie
had been sounded, and every one
gulused lawyer of that town was
blowing off his eloquence telling us |
what a noble thing it would be for aJ
fellow to go to the front and be shot
R S <y -
“OowWn on the altar of his country ;
how his name would be printed in
history, and what a hero he would be
though dead, and if he should stay at
home, when the boys came back he
would be called a traitor and a cow
ard. After four years’ experience, [
have decided that I had rather be a
living coward than a dead hero. But
their eloquence had the desired ef
fect on me. I wanted to die for some
thing, I did not know what, so I en-
O R R e .
colled my name on the list of the
Fayette Grays. Of course, I, like all
boys of my age, had a sweetheart, a
hazel-eyed, brown-haired beauty., If
there is anything I have a weakness
for, it is brown hair, and I don’t know
a black-baired woman on earth that
T o -
a 8 any use for me, To say that [
loved that girl, does not express it
I actually loved all her relations, all
the negroes on her father’s place, all
on account of her. I used to go ber
ry hunting, and would walk up and
down the brooks with Ler gathering
flowers. In fact I was all the time
with her, and how she did sing and
play for me every night, and would
@ay jH." ’Q"\Mwflinu‘ “Na.Ona
}f(?l?gd the army, we both eried, but |
she said she knew I had done right,
but it would break her heart to see
me go, and made me promise to come
home often. We promised to be true
to each other, and when the war was
over we would get married and be
happy the rest of our lives. She
lhe]ped to make my uniform and get
me ready for the front. The day
came for our company to leave—the
saddest hour of my life had arrived.
[ went to her to bid her good bye.
As I took her by the hand she fell
on my manly bosom and wept. Lal
so wept. The scene was a very afect
ing one. Some of the oldest inhabit
ants who witnessed it shed tears, also.
She said she loved me, and she didn’t
care who knew it. 1 kissed her good
bye and tore wmyself away. (It was
no harm to kiss a girl during the war.
I sometimes wish the war was going
on mnow.) Twice a week the mail
man would hand me a nice little white
guvelope, and in it I would find writ
ten on perfumed gilt-edged paper
words of love. After reading, 1
would place them next to my heart,
and at night dream of her and the
happy meeting that was to come; but
the course of true love never did run
smooth. One day the ugliest and la
ziest man in our company was dis
charged, for what I never knew, un
less it was for ugliness. IHe went
home. Ile lived on an adjoining
tarm, where my ideal lived. Soon
the letters began to get scarce, then
they ceased altogether. This I could
not understand. But one of the boys
who came from home explained the
mystery. She had married the fel
low who had been discharged. This
was an awful blow to me, but I mus
tered up courage, got mad, burned
her letters in the camp-fire, threw
her picture into the creek and said
things of “the girl I left behind me.”
[ did not commit suicide, as many
would have done, but consoled my
gelf with the idea that there was as
good fish in the sea as was ever
caught out of it. When I remember
ed that the sea was full of fish of all
kinds, I remembered there was a star
fish, mullet, shad, whale, big fish,
little fish, electric fish—she was of
the electric sort, at least she gave
me an awful shock. She is now the
happy mother of eight dirty-faced
boys, and her husband is bailiff of his
district.”

a little boy, rushing into the parlor
where she was entertaining young
Mr. Smith, “will you come into the
hall a minute? I want to speak to
you.”
“I cannot mnow, dear. Don’t you

What is it you want?”’
“Jimmy White is out in the hall,
and he says he won't believe it un

“What is it that Jimmy White
won’t believe?’ asked the sister,
sweetly.
“That you ate twenty-five pancakes
this morning for breakfast.”

ANOTHER PENSION BILL.
An annual burden amounting to
$6,500,000 was placed upon the peo
ple of this country, the poor as well
as the rich, almost without an objec
tion, certainly without serjous oppo
sition. The pensions of dependent
widows, mothers and fathers was in
creased to $l2 a month, No intelli
gent person considers the increase
Jjust, so far as the tax-payers are con
cerned; no honest member desired
its passage ; and yet it swept the
house, securing the votes of every

republican and every northern demo
crat except My, Bragg of Wisconsin
and Mr. Hewitt of Now York.
The bill was favored by many
members, because it could be utilized
to head oft a meagure that would in
vite all unpensioned soldiers to put
their hauds in the treasury, and al-

’most bankrupt the country. The
hope is, that the widows’ bill will sat
isfy the pension attorneys, so that the
limitation upon the arrears act can
not be reoved during the present
session.
But the barrier to new applications
under the arrears act wil] be remoy
ed soon or lnte-—probably before
another presidential election—and
then new schemes wil be devised.
Where is all this to end?! What ef
fect will such taxation with no return
have upon the energies and produc
tive capacity of the south? It should
be remembered that the south pays
from its earnings one dollar out of
SeRY dbase that s dishursed by the
to all other national taxation, and all
necessary state and local levies?
This is becoming a very serious ques
tion, and northern demagogry should
be brought face to face with the sit
nation.—Atlanta Constitution.
DON’T UNDERVALUE THE BOY.
Too many men make their boys
feel that they are of little or no ac
count while they are boys. Lay a
responsibility on a boy, and he will
meet it in a manful spirit. On no
account ignore their disposition to
investigate. Help them to under
stand things. Encourage them to
know what they are about. We are
too apt to treat a boy’s seeking after
knolwedge as mere idle curiosity.
“Don’t ask questions,” is poor advice
to boys. If youdo not explain puz
zling things to them, youoblige them
to make many experiments before
they find out, and though experimen
tal knowledge is best, in one sense,
in another it is not, for that which
can be explained clearly, does not
need experimenting with. If the
principal involved is understood,
there is no further trouble, and the
boy can go ahead intelligently.
Do not wait for the boy to grow up
before you begin to treat him as an
equal. A proper amount of confi
dence, and words of encouragement
and advice, and giving him to under
stand that you trust him in many
ways, helps to make a man of him
long before he is a man in either
stature or years.— American Agricul
turist for February.
LAUGHTER.
Do we, as a rule, laugh enough?
Is there not too much beefsteak and
too little gravy for salutary digestion
in the every day consumption of brain
food ? Is there spice enough to sea
son the standing dish of drudgery?
There is a service to a chaste laugh,
and its relation to physical comfort
is noteworthy. Our emotions are the
plaything of our surroundings, and
the graces we would cultivate can
never be perfected in an atmosphere
that is not cordial. The nightmare
of disaster is ever disturbing new en
‘deavors and cherished ventures, and
if it is to be dispelled the handiest
helper is the sunshine of mirth. To
one who is in the meelstrom of cares,
or who is a galley slave in the strug
gle to exist, or on whose cast of dice
is staked the gain or loss by living,
there is no force that can sustain as
broad humor. Music has a power to
lighten loads, to relax bows, but
side shaker seems to be quite as sal-
utary to the weary ones in the mark
et place. A ditty travelsto the springs
of the teelings, but a neatly perpe
trated pun wakes the man offcare
take cheer as he toils, The mind
that is lost to every appeal save the
requisitions of his vocation needs to
be switched off, and a handy way to
do it is to tickle him. It is said of
Lincoln that his indulgence in laugh
ing and dry satirizing was a physical
necessity—that the responsibilities of
his policy during the war would have
chafed him to despiar had he not re
peatedly laughed away his fears or
stilled his forebodings with funny
exuberances. g
