of a curtain charotcrialic rcpr< tentative
human lieing. Nothing in to sharpen
a" Hm> study of one’s kind. One is

amused, in the eulhuilaitir proereutlon of

lievea everything. You cauuot mention
a mailer in the remotest region* of proble
matical existence, but lie U ready to adopt
it as a principle of bta creed Impossi
bilities are nothing to him,and the wildest
results of imaginative soarings are com
mon trash to him, so familiar U he with
them all the time lie anticipates every
thing you can conceive of, and writes you
down a fool for your ignorance, while you
are unfolding before him your choicest and
rarest discoveries.
He is a type. Without being anything,
he is lire best of everything. Without
IHjaitlTe knowledge, he yet knows the stun
of all. He never reads a book He is
disgusted with proper people, and despises
bores. He is only a human sponge, n lit
tie too soft to retain anything, yet lie
absorbs pretty well. He never goes into
good society—all shoddy, you know I He
sjieud* his Monday's playing poker, or
sipping bad whisky, and looking over the
files of tlic Police Gazette. To church lie
never goe - all humbug, yon know f'an’t
tcarli me anything—those sleepy beaded

i loth and ivhlto chokers—can't .tend it,
pou my word I con l. And so the
donkey brays. He is himself during
political campaigns Then hu is a hero,
a patriot, a lender. If his country
Is saved it must he by him, and whoever
refuses to follow him, is a trnitor and de
serves hanging. To cast a doubt on ids
wisdom is to expose out-sell to utter anni
hilation. Our type becomes a blusterer

rcnled irony, then shower honors, (as it
were) and finally treat him as the King
did Hainan, barring the hanging,'which lie
is too simple too deserve. He Is heard of no

THE PKI tlll H WEEKLY.
IT is universally conceded that advertising is
a necessity to success in business; it U also
j conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that
I newspapers arc the best medium for reaching
, ail parties whose trade is desired.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than any other journal published in the
country; it is, therefore, the be.tt medium of
communication with the planting interests.
" e will be happy at any lime to furnish refer
enees to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the wet that they have re
ceived orders for poods from parties who rend
their cards in. The Advertiser. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of its columns,
candidly say that its value exceeds that of all
other joaro&ls in which they are represented
The Advertiser has the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
successful.
CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS
No advertisements are admitted which art
not believed to be above question and of re*J
value, and from parties so unquestionably re
liable that the readers of The Advertiser will be
safe in ordering them from any distance. To
oar readers, the fact of iw appearance here has
all the weight of endorsement and authority
