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. For the Enterprise.] 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. A. 11. W. 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.
