ABOUT ADVERTISING.
Here is a little personal advertisement
which will be readily recognized as tlie
work of an Irish gentleman :
"Whereas, PatricS Malony has fraudu
lently taken away several articles of wear
ing apparel without my knowledge, this
is, therefore, to inform him if he does not
forthwith return the same, his name will
be made public.”
In the following advertisement we have
a happy impression of the delicacy with
which business may be made to proceed
iir spite of affliction, though one cannot
help wouderiug over the difficulties which
might ensue if a very stout purchaser
should by accident invest in the wardrobe
of a very lean husband :
“ Widow ladies. —Private gentleman
would purchase a first-class wardrobe of
gentleman’s attire for casli ; no Ueior.
Address, in strict confidence and privacy.
Cash.”
The following piece of advertising work
was done by areal editor, one who is sup
posed to understand bow to do these
tilings :
• NOTICE.
i oiler for sale,
In bulk or retail,
By way of a clearance from cattle and care,
Two lots and two houses,
Two calves and twoeow.se.,,
Gazette Printing Office, and furniture ware!
Patrick McClosky.”
“A Chicago merchant advertised recent
ly ‘ boy wanted,’ and before he got down
town his clerk met him breathless, and
told him that his wife had twin boys. It
pays to advertise.”
TWO MERCHANTS.
When trade grew slack, am} notes fell due,
The merchant’s face grew long and blue;
His dreams were troubled through the night
With sheriffs, bailiffs, all in sight.
At last his wife uuto him said—
“ Rise up at once, get out of bed,
“ And get your paper, ink and pen,
“ And say these words unto ull men :
“ My goods I wish to sell to you,
“ And to your wives nnd daughters, too;
“ My prices they shall be bo low,
“That each Bhall buy before they go.”
He did as his good w ife advised,
And inutile paper advertised ;
Crowds came and bought of all he had,
His notes were paid, his dreams were glad,
And he will tell you, to this day,
How well did printer’s ink repay.
He told us, with a knowing wink,
How lie was Baved witli printer’s ink.
Another—in a place as tight—
Contented was the press to slight;
He did not let the people know,
< if what tie had or where to go. ’
His drafts were due and were not paid ;
A levy on his goods was made;
The store was closed until the sale,
And for -some time he was in jail.
A bankrupt now, without a cent,
At leisure he can deep repent—
That he was foolish and unwise,
And did not freely advertise.

Wife.
The minds eye and the hearts hand are
always directed to and held out to wife.
Words spoken and acts done in the past
come back npon the ear and rise up before
tlie mind fresh und green as when first
said and done, We remember well how
that was said, and how this was done.
All! that look of partiality marked a period
in life and made manhood feel the grand
ure of its character aud lay its offerings at
the feet of sublime beauty. The tender
emotions of the heart are felt again aud
eacli word, look, and act done move as
they did when first uttered and seen, we
know now how she spoke, how she
seemed, how she smiled, how she stood,
how she walked, and turned and walked
again, and leaned her face on her hand as
the liquid life of love moved in her blue
eye , the miror of her soul. The gentle
touch, the soft and controling speech, the
sublime confidence seem to make us feel
us if the filling of time and the warp of
eternity conspired to weave for us the
brightest and richest hues and shades of
present and future happiness we remetn
er well the place, the hour, when she
sai she would be ours it was then ! new
lopes and fears alternated on the wide
m °future, we linger on those
moments of pure delight and feel to leave
is pain, to remain is pleasure. Computa
tion cannot measure the happiness oi our
united lives. In all things just. A com
posure of mind truly great Smooth and
softly tempered she meets the attacks of
trials with true constancy and resists tho
fascinations of temptation with peculiar
power. In prosperity site never forgets
the gWerof her gifts, and in adversity sits
at the feat of him who supports, in sublime
confidence. Pure and spotless as the dri
ven snow her devotion weaves a garland
lor lilo full of fragrance and beauty. All
our hopes, and joys nro garrisoned in her
love and unsurpassed devotion, All that
we are, all that we may be, live and move
and only has being in tho sanctity of her
love. Her love is power, her devotion the
rcseptaclo of all our pleasures and happi
ness.

Power of a Spoken Word.
For the Daily Enterprise.]
Kind Friend: Your favor is at hand,
and while I am sorry you could not conic,
I am truly glad to hear from you.
You speak of your visit to the seu shore
in such glowing terms, I almost fancy my
self listening to old Ocean’s “ inimitable
music,” and the bright sea shells re
echoing the sounds iu whisperings low,
watching wave after wave rolling them
selves shoreward, and being dashed to
pieces in attempting to pass their bounds,
typifying human efforts to violate natural
laws. You express yourself puzzled to
account for their always rolling to shore,
even in opposition to a strong wind blow
ing seawards. You say you had always
supposed that the wind caused the w aves.
You ask what I think of it. I think t lie
wind produces waves, but does not cause
the surf to roll on shore. Before giving
my views, I will preface by saying I be
lieve there is a close analogy between nil
created things, and that a perfect under
standing of any one thing would greatly
facilitate our comprehension of all things
else, physical, mental or spiritual. With
this brief exordium I will essay to give a
simple explanation. And in its consider
ation you will liud that heat alone is used,
the agent which that poor unlettered New
England farmer (whom you have fre
quently ridiculed) supposed to be life, and
acting upon which he promulgated a the
ory which has stirred the medical world to
its profoundcst depths, and bids fair to
completely revolutionize medical science.
It relaxes xEolus’ hold upon the winds,
which in their holiday sports ruffle old
Ocean’s placid bosom and sometimes
throws him into a dreadful rage, causing
the waters to lift up their heads and leap
after the winds which have awakened
them. But, you will say, these waves
rolled upon the. beach in opposition to a
strong wind. Well, let us see if we can
account for it in a simple way. You fre
quently have thrown hits of amber into a
retort filled with water and applied a spirit
lamp to illustrate the conviction of heat;
you noticed two currents, the warm par
ticles rising iu the centre, throwing them
selves off to every side, then descending.
Geologists tell us wo are standing upon
the cover of a boiling cauldron, and that
heat is constantly radiated from it. Let
the earth represent the spirit lamp, the
ocean, tho wiitor iu tlic retort, and you
can easily account tor the waves rolling
to every shore. In connection with this,
1 will give you my idea of the cause of
the stars twinkling. You will, likely,
laugh at me, but I must retain that idea
until you give me a more plausible one.
You noticed that while on the sea shore
that a boat under full canvas, with a brisk
breeze, cleft the waves in twain and passed
over the surface of the waters without
much rocking, while another anchored
would rock badly. Now remember only
fixed stars twinkle and if you look out at
night you will discover that those stars
directly above you, do not appear to twin
kle, while the hundreds of others moored
in the great ocean of Ether do. If it be
caused by the uudulutory motion of light
coming from them why not the moon or
stars not fixed, present the same appear
ance.
You now' discover why I said that a
word spoken would cause a star to rock.
The tiniest peble dropped into a lake sends
a rippling wave to the farthercst shore.
Several years ago, an earthquuke, causing
three successive upheavings of the earth
on the eastern continent, sent three suc
cessive waves across tho broad expanse of
waters which separate" the eastern and
western continents, and iu like manner a
word spoken sets in motion a wave which
rolls ou through the physical universe,
and an influence either for good or evil
which rolls on and on through everlasting
Rgcs. Quid Nunc.
A General and Promiscuous Growl
from Thomas Carlyle.
[lter. I)r. Ctiylcr’s letter to the New York
Evangelists.]
Presently an old man. apparently over
three score and ten, walked very slowly
into the room. IJe was attired in a long
blue woolen gown, reaching down to Ills
feet. His gray hair was in an uncombed
“mop” on Ills head, ljis clear blue eyes
were sharp and piercing. A bright tinge
of red was on his thin cheek, and his hand
trembled as he took our own. This most
singular personage—who reminded one of
an old alchemist, was the author of “Hero
Worship” and the ' French Kevolution.”
He commenced at once—after a few in
quiries about Longfellow, Hryunt, and
other American friends—a characteristic
discourse on the fearful degeneracy of this
wretched age of delusions and impostures.
Witli great vehemence of manner he said
that “England had gone clean down into
an abominable and damnable cesspool of
lies, and shoddies and shams 1”
. The first of these which lie specified
were the swindling joint stock company,
and new schemes for turniug everything
into gold. ‘‘Abominable contrivances for
turning commerce and trade into a villain
ous rouyt et noir." Hedescribed the pres
ent turmoil on the labor question as simply
a "lazy trick of both master and man to
get as much pay and do as little work as
they possibly can.” He then broke into
a terrible denunciation of dram-shops and
"whusky," which it never did my soul
good to hear. Gough ever surpassed the
red-hot vehemence of the old man's
phillippic against the “horrible and de
testable damnation of whusky and ivery
kind of strong drink.” lie is heartily in
favor of the prohibitory movement, but
has no faith in Parliaments, and none at
MACON, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1872,
ail in any living man now controlling
civil utfairs. He gave us an intensely lu
dicrous picture of u night which he once
passed in Parliament, listening to an "in
definite babblement of windy talk and
endless grinding of hurdy-gurdies, grind
ing out lies and inanities."
But at last tho old Duke of Wellington
arose, and then, said Carlyle, “ho stam
mered away for fifteen minutes ; but ho
was the only man iu tho House who gave
me any creditable portraiture of tho facts.”
I asked him his opinion of the man whom
we in America honor as tho most eloquent
and bravo of living British statesmen.
Carlyle's contemptuous reply was, “Only
a shop-keeper— a mere bagman—a man
who treats Eugland only as a big shop ;
lie ought never.to go into the House of
Commons without a whito apron tied un
der his arms!’’ "O for another Oliver
Cromwell I” exclaimed tho old man. “I
have come down to the very bottom of
Oliver's speeches; ami let me tell you
that nothing in Demosthenes or any other
man can compare with him in the piercing
into the veritable and creditable core of
the fact.
•• But in these days ‘ parliamentary elo
quence ’ is only detestable and damnable
babblement of imposture and lies !” And
this red-hot lava of denunciation was
poured out in one uuceasing stream for
nearly half an hour, until he wound up by
consigning pretty much everything and
everybody to a “ bottomless pool of ever
lasting damnation—in whatever meaning
you may give to that word.” This won
derful harangue was delivered in broad
Scotch brogue, and with the most ludic
rous twistings of countenance. At times
the old man stopped and laughed heartily
at his own carricatureg. In fact. I was
constantly puzzled to detect whether he
was iu downright earnestness, or was only
an intellectual Samson pulling down every
thing right and left to “make sport" for
his wondering gussts.
