The new system, of Advertising adopted by Geo. P
Rowell k Co., Advertising Agents,No. 40 Park Bow, New

The following extract from a speech delivered before
the New York State Editorial Couyention, (lately holden
►t Penn Yan,)ky a prominent Advertising Agent of New
York city, goes to show that he at least acknowledges its
advantages.
_From Jamestown, N. Y., Journal of
Aug. 2nd, Edited by C. E. BISHOP,
Chairman of Committee on ADVEIt-
".(r. Petting!il spoke in opposition to that plan from the
publisher's stand point alone. Ile showed the publishers
that by this system of contracting they were giving lower
rates than they gave their own home customers or others
equally as prompt and good customers; that they were
selling one portion of their paper to be used to compete
with and underbid the other columns; that the owner of
the space'thus sold couldcome right in and beat the pub
lisher's prices and take his business away front him ; that
• f the publishers, fully understanding this, still wished
to continue so irregular and dubosiness-like a system he
(Pettingill k Co.) ithould of course cease trying to get ad
vertising for the papers at their regular rates and go into
the other system of contracting—which he could stand
If the printers could."

One sweet ward of holy meaning
Cometh to me o'er and o'er,
And the echoes of its mtudo
Linger ever—evermore ;
Trust—no other word we utter
' Can so sweet and precious be,
Tuning all life'sjarring discords
Into heavenly harmony.
Clouds of thickest blankness gathered
O'er my soul's dark sea of sin,
And the port of heaven - was guarded
From myguilty entering in;
Then came Jesus, walking to me,
O'er the surging waves of sin,
Calling, clear above the tempest,
"He that trustetb heaven shall win 1"
Loved ones, as ye rear the marble,
Pure above my waiting dust,
Grave no other word upon it
But the holiest, sweetest—Tnukrr ;
For this password know the angels,
Guarding o'er the pearly door,
Password to his blessed presence,
Whom I trust for evermore,
A STORY OF TURKEY lllirElt, lOWA.
On Turkey river lived Amass Barker, a
worthy itinerant minister of the Methodist
church. Besides being s fisher of men, he was
a fisher of fish, and also delighted in the pleas
ures of the chase. To him one fine Saturday
night came another son of Nimrod—Jack
Waters. Jack woke up the minister by calling
to him from the outside. The parson put his
head out of the door and recognized his friend
at once.
"Mr. Barker," says Jack, "fine night for
'coon hunting. Qin you come out and have a
shot 2"
A muffled protest in a fethinine voice waa
faintly heard inside the house ; but the good
minister was too ardent a hunter to yield even
to petticoat influence. A moment later he ap
peared at the door in hunting trim, and the
two men started off, although the protest was
repeated more strenously, accompanied by the
apparition at a window of a head incased with
a ruffied e night Lap.
Spite of the fine night, however, and the
skill of the two hunters, luck was against
them ; and several hours had passed before
they met with anything worth taking home.
At last the parson descried a fine coon in a
tree. Being a sprightly parson, and agile,
he climbed up after the animal, following it
to quite a height. At last, getting a good'
chance, he levelled his gun.
"Why don't you fire ?" hoarsely whispered
Jack, after waiting several minutes, daring
which the parson remained suddenly transfix
ed, neglecting to pull the trigger.
"I say, Mr. Waters," he replied, "what
time is it ? Remember this is Saturday night."
"No it isn't," says Jack, looking at his
watch, 'it's Sunday morning. Just five min
utes past twelve. Now, fire quick, you won't
have such a chance again."
"No, no," replies the minister, "it won't do,
Mr. Waters. Too late now ; we must come
another time."
"But just give the coon a crack," urged
Jack.
"Can't do it," said, the minister, slowly de
scending. "Recollect what the command
ment says : Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy—'coon or no 'coon,"
So the virtuous Sabbstariaus weatjkome
A CHRISTIAN POIJOKMAN.—The following
incident occurred some years since. We
know the policeman well, and he is still en
gaged in his Christian works of mercy while
faithfully discharging his duties as a public
officer.
On the side-walk of a broad avenue, where
thousands rush unheeding and unheeded, a
policeman stood musing with himself what
he should do to relieve several cases of severe
suffering very recently witnessed in the dis
charge of his official duty. Just then a car
riage rolled along, whose owner and occu
pants were utter strangers. Moved by some
unseen influence, he stopped the carriage, and
inquired of the lady within if she would like
to relieve the distress of those known to be
worthy. 'She replied in the affirmative, and
he gave her the address of three parties great
ly needing immediate aid, and asked her to
drive to their door and judge for herself.--
He directed the driver to pass on, and return
ed to his duties with a burden rolled off.—
When he again called upon the widow and
fatherless,' in whose behalf he had thus ap
pealed to a strahger, he learned that the lady
had complied with his , request, visited and
promptly relieved theirnecessities, an act for
which their hearts were overflowing with
gratitude. The good man thought that an
angel guide had sent him to that carriage,
and so he had good reason to think long after
wards. That little act—unpremeditated and
seemingly unreasonable—touched a spring
that has since proved as s fountain in a desert,
and has been to the good man a 'pleasant
comment upon the words,
"Make you His service your delight
He'll make your wants His care."

TUE MUNN:OLT ESTIMATION
p They tell a story ofhow the Rev. Dr. Beth
une, now dead—a wit, a scholar and an elo
quent divine—was once put in a queer posi
tion by an enthusiastic friend. The Doctor
at the time was settled over a congregation in
Brooklyn, and was very popular. A Connec
ticut congregation gave a call, and "called"
a thousand dollars per annum better than the
Brooklyn people. But he had formed a strong
attachment to his puishoners, and thinking
his sphere of service could not be changed to
advantage, he was not tempted by an increase
of salary. So he remained, to the great de
light of his people.
All the Doctor's parishoners were not
saints. There were a few sinners among
them—else, why preach the gospel ? And
among the last was a wealthy and jovial pew
holder, fond of his cups, and apt at times to
get more than he could conveniently carry.—
Neither was he particular as to what time of
day he got drunk. He suited his inclination
and had no method In his cups.
Bilkins—well, that was not his name, but
it will do—Bilkins heard of the Doctor's refu
sal,and he wasdelighted. In the very heighth
Olds pleasure he crossed Fulton Ferry,carry
ing about a quart of brandy.
The brandy carrier happened to catch sight
of the umbrella carrier, and at once staggered
toward him, exclaiming in his loudest tones :
"How do yon do, Dr. Bethune._ Let me
take your—laic—hand, my dear sir-r-r. I am
proud to testify-y -y my respects for you, sir."
"Speak a little lower if you please, Mr. Bil
kins," murmured Dr. Bethune.
"Yes-s-s-s, sir; you have stood by your
pulpit like a man. Them ens-G.-Bed nutmeg
grinding, ham-m carving Yankees wanted to
take you away from us—offered you a thous
and dollars a year more—did they ?"
By this time the attention of the crowd
was fixed on the couple, Dr. Bethune's face
was always florid, but it was now on fire.
His interlocutor continued :
"Our people have got to make up that
thousand dollars—got to I If they don't, I'll
do it myself."
"But, my dear sir," remonstrated the doc
tor, sotto voce, "speak a little lower, you are
drawing"—
"Yes-s-s-s !" interrupted the other, "I know
whist you said. You spurned the offer. Yon
s-s-s-said you wouldn't go—not an inch. You
told them as a good and pious clergyman
ought to, that you'd s-e-s-see'em damned first."
Purtnurv.—How heedless and unconcerned
is mortal man as to how It will go with him
in the future. How seldom does he leave his
thoughts rest upon his latter end—the time
when death shall end his existence here—
when all that he so highly prized upon earth
will have to be parted with. He knows that
many whom he bad loved have passed away .
from time to eternity; tior would he for one
moment doubt the fact, that so it will go with
him sooner or later—that his body will also
return to the earth from whence it came, and
that death is no respecter of persons, but that
it takes aefay the young amidst all their hopes
and prospects, as well as the old whose grey
hairs and feeble step denote that their earthly
allotment is almost ended. Yet he goes on
:with bright and glorious hope for the future
—of gaining great riches—of receiving great
worldly honors and high and exalted positions
in life, and many other things, not remember
ing that future time is in the bands of a wise
Creator, who for some good purpose has not
permitted us to see into it. Perhaps if we
knew what was to befall us in the future—
what disappointments and sorrows we would
have topass through, it would so weigh us
down and discourage us as to entirely unfit
us for the performance of the necessary duties
of life, and eventually sink us down to the
grave. Therefore Nve should ever remember
the lines of the Christian poet, in which he
says;
"To-morrow !—mortal, boast not thou
Of time and tide that are not now
But think in one revolving day
How earthly things may pass away !"
And we ought also ever look unto Him who
has all time in His mighty hand, and who
only knows what will be best for us at present,
and what will be our fate in the dark and
mysterious futurity. G. S.
SATURDAY Mawr.—Somebody gets off the
following beautiful paragraph on the closing
night of the week. There is a volume of
truth and sense in it.
Saturday night makes people human ; sets

The ledger closes with a crash ; the iron-door

shutters with a will; click goes the key in
the lock. It is Saturday night, and business
breathes free again. Homeward, ho ! The
door that has been ajar all week gently closes
behind him ; the world is all shut out. Shut
out ? Shut in, the rather. Here are his treas
ures, after all, and not in the vault, and not in
the book—save the record in the old family
Bible—and not in the bank.
May be you're 'a bachelor, frosty and forty.
Then, poor fellow, Saturday night is nothing
'to you, juntas you are nothing to anybody.—
Get a wife, blue eyed or black eyed,but above
all true eyed ; get a little home, no matter
how little, and a little 'sofa, just to hold two or
two and a half, and then get the two, or two
and a half in it, of a Saturday night, and then
raid this paragraph by the light of your own
wlfe's eyes, and thank God and take courage.
One day after the late horrible catastrophe
on the Dijon Railway, an old man who hatl
escaped by a miracle from the crushed cars,
presented himself at the place of the disaster.
A. workman t 'Arho was collecting the debris
and clearing the track,inquired what he want
ed.
`Monsieur, I am one of the victims."
The workman looked up, and seeing a man
without any injery, inquired, "Whom have
you lost, then—your wife, your child, any .
friends"
"No, liOsideur, I have lost my umbrella."
• The workman searched among the broken
cars, and by a singular chance found the um
hyena.
•
"Thers" said he, giving .it to the peasant,
"you are lucky to get out of the scrape In this
wity," - •
"Yon call that lucky ?" returned the man ;
"look here--they have broken two whale
bones."

A SICILLIPITL SWOZDNIKAAL
•
Some out of the way author teak an amus
ing anecdote shout three forelguere, aa ,Eti
&Masan, a Frenchman, aruran‘ American,
who were officers in the Turkish army. ' One
day they got into a friendly dispnte with each
other in the presence of a Fiche of high . aulk
sato their respective dexterity in the ttee of
• the sword, each claiming superien skill. The
Pic* after hearing their discandao, gravely
informed them that he wished to put their
pretentlons to the test, and that as there were
three criminals to be headed oa the following
morning, in pursuance of a sentence of the
court, he would request that each of the oM
cers should demonstrate what he could do with
his sword by beheading one of the condemned.
Accordingly on the morrow at an early hour
they repaired to the place of execution, where
they found the Pacha and his staff waiting for
them. The first criminal was brought for
ward with his arms pinioned and made to
kneel. The Englighmlin was notified it was
his, time to display his skill. He advanced,
drew his sabre, and with an exhibition of
great strength, cut off the herid of the victim.
The Pacha, duly - commending the English
man's feat, ordered the second criminal to be
brought forward in the same manner, and
inftirmed the - Frenchman. thrit there was his
man. The Frenchman first went up to the
knetling cuipiit and tied a piece of bine rib
bon around his neck, then stepping back and
bowing gracefully to the Pacha and his suit,
he drew his sword, and after sundry elegant
flourishes in the air, executed 'a most beauti
ful but, 'severing the head from the body of
the victim and splitting the ribbon precisely
in the middle.' The delighted Pacha, atter
complimenting the superior grace and dexter
ity of the Frenchman, ordered the third crim
inal, to be brought out, and ordered the
American to proceed. The American, - after
requesting that the culprit might be allowed
to stand on his feet,' stepped forward, and
making a single quick but apparently careless
cut, returned his sabre to the scabbard, and
turning about resumed his place, leaving his
victim apparently- unharmed. Observing,
however, that his competitors and even the
dignified Moslems were laughing at his suppo
sed failure he remarked in a quiet tone to the
culprit. "Spit, if-you please." And when
the criminal leaned, forward to complytwith
this request, to the surprise of the spectators,
his bead tumbled off.
Cduacu EruturrrE—ls MEMORIAL—It flied
to pizzie us, before we understood the origin
of the custom, to account for the peculiarly
American idea of church etiquette which com
pels a gentleman to step into the aisle, allow
a lady to pals in before him, and re-seat him
self in the most comfortable place In the pew.
The European certainly must be at a loss to
account for the custom on the'principle that
the laws of etiquette are founded on- the gen
eml rule of making others as comfortable and
happy as possible. But we cannot join with
the many who wish this custom, troubfesonie
though it may sometimes be, abolished. It is
a relic of the olden time in America when men
went'to church with their muskets, and had
their children and wives take the Inside of the
pew, so that they might rush foto the aisle at
the first signal from the watchman that hostile
Indians were r ifear. The custom comes to us
with the sacked memories of the trials and
courage and hardships of our forefathers. It
tells of hard-earned -homesteads in the Wes
tern wilderness ; of men and women who laid
the foundations of a great nation among scenes
which called for nerve, and energy, and-brave
ry. Surely the preservation of this custom as
a token of respect to their memory, is not too
great as burden for sirfashionable sons and
daughters of to-disT, who owe them so much
of their present prosperity and wealth. The
people of Batitiland undergo every form of in
convenience !lather than give up time-honored
customs, and we laugh at them for it. 'We
care too little for these things. - The American
motto is
"Let the dead past bury the dead."
A better motto is the golden rule, "Do unto
others as yOu *mild that others do unto you ;"
bow will it be when we are dead ?—New York
Gazette.
LOST TREASIMEB.-At a large hotel in an
Atlantic city, one day, a lively conversation
arose over the fish at dinner, and several of the
guests related some extraordinary stories a
bout finding pearls and other valuables in the
entrails of fish, when an old - man, who had
been quietly listening to what was passing,
broke forth with the following: "When I was
a young man I was employed in a large im
porting house in this city, and, as usual with
most persons of my age then, I fell in love
with a certain young lady, and in due course
of time wits engaged. About two months be
fore our marriage was to take place, I was
suddenly sent to Europe on very important
business, occasioned by the death of one of
the firm in Europe. I took a hasty and af
fectionate leave of my intended, with the pro
mise to hear from each other often. I was de
tained somewhat longer than I expected, but
just before I sailed for home I purchased a
handsome and very valuable diamond ring,
intending It for the wedding ring; and when
coming up New York Bay, expecting shortly
to be with her who was soon to be mine, I
was glancing over the morning papers, which
had be% brought,aboard by the pilot moat,
when what should I see but an account of her
marriage with another, which so enraged me
that, in my passion, I threw the ring over
board. A few days after I was dining at this
very hotel; fish , was served up, and, in eating
it, I bit on something hard, and what do you
suppose it was ?" "The diamond ring!" ex
claimed several. "No," said our friend, pre
serving CA same gravity, "it was a fish
bone."
AN AGENT or vas Lonp.—Deacon Simei

and was of the hardshell persuasion. The

tomers that the money which he received for

father made the 'hors,' " said the deacon, "and
the money is his'n ; I'm only a stooart." Ono
Sunday morning the old feUow wee tearing
round from house to house with a auspicious
bit of currency in his hand, and more than a
suspicion of rage in his ace, - Some one had
given hima bad fifty cents, and he "wasn't

"Why deacon," said one of his customers,
whom he had 'tackled about it, "what's the
odds? what need-you care? yours, you
know ; yqu are only a steward ; it knit your
loss." The deasson shifted his shoulder, walk
ed to the door, unshipped his quid, and said :
"Yeas, that's so; but if you think tiiat. I'm
goin' to stand by and 'see the Lord cheked oat
