A Beautiful Thought.— We knew n-1
the author of the foil, wing, but it i* one of
the tiiost l»eatrtiful productions we tiave ever
read :
Nature will be reported. AH thing* are
engaged in w riling i licit- os n history. Tie
pfant and the pebbl* go attended bv th- ir
~w n shadows. The rock leaves it-s, ia' h, s
no the moun t tin i*ide, the riv-r its t, and ,
ilie soil, the animal leaves its bo.ies to he
stratum, ttie f-rn and the leaves their mod
est epHaph in the coal. The failing drop
makes 'ts sepulchre in the sand or.-tone;
not a footstep in the snow or along the
ground, but prints in characters more or
Gos lasting, a map of it* nmr, h ; every ad
>f man in-ctibes it-elf ~n the memories of
its fellows, and in his own la,-,-. Ihe air is
full of sound ; the sky of tokens ; the ground
-all iiiemorai da, signatures, and every oh—
j ct is to ered over with hints which speak
o the intelligent.

per- of Cj iw.h on this -iit.jci t; _
Most of our readers have no doubt read
's- me of tin uu'iier- us adverti-, aicri's of Gift
I Enterprise*, tiift Conceits. Ac , which ap
pear irun time to tiraw'fn the public prints,
,-ff- ring ru -st tempting bargains to those who
will patronise them. In moat cases these
arc getiUo e huttlhugs. But there are a few
respectable fi tns who do bu«ioess in this
manner, and they do it as a means of in
creasing their wholesale bus.ness, and not to
make money. From -uch firms, it is true,
handsome and valuable articles are i>ro
cured for a very small sum, anil what is more
, im; ortant, no one is ever cliea ed. Eve:y
person gets good value lor hia dollar ; b«-
cau-e, as we tiave stated, il is intend, and to
act as an advertisement to increase their
I ordinary hu-incss.
We have seen numbers ot prizes sent out
in tins way by SIIERMAx, Watson & Cos.,
;of Nassau iStieef, N. \ and there is no
d.'ttbt that some ol the articles are worth
eight or ten times the m-rnev paid (ot them
wnile wo ha' not seen or heard of a single
j article which was. not fully worth the dollar
which ii cost. But ttiis is only one of the
1 exceptions of this rule, for a* a general thing
the panics engaged in this bu-ine-s are no
thing but ciever swindlers. (So>nrihij/Rea.
