AN ADVERTISING STORY.
•
Tho New Way.cn Courier ' , lets the follow
ing funny story about the origin of advertising :
It was in "the celestial- empire, some three or
four thousbnd years before other transcribe globe
'were made, and during the - reign of Tie Long, or
that of .bis son Long Pus, we nave forgotten
which, that advertising came in fashion.
&scarcity of the tea mop; for which the EMpe r
-For was held responsible, because, as it was sa id,
he consulted his own comfort more than the Wel
fare of his people, in not' knOcking his head bard'
and often enough when he prayed fur seasonable
weather, had produced . a itifellion in a . distant
pottion - , of his realm.
Sacrifices fur the purpose of quelling this Ilea
been offered in vain; sow's earn and dog's tails by
the cord, cumbered the temples ; thousands of Jos
-sea bad been smoked black with expiatory fires or
fustic, but still the insurrection gathered
and -finally threatened to overcloud the supreme
glory of the brother of the sun end moon.-
- His Majesty, finding that his gods were busying
themselves about something beside his perplexities,'
and having fruitlessly issued vast numbers of ape=
cial edicts of unusual size arid magnificence, con
eluded i(be t -to. look to affairs himself, and collect
ing his Most frightful troops, went -forth to meet
and punish his unloyal subjects. '
Upon- his second day's march- towards the dL't
'tact where it, Was expected that the rebels would
run away, from the sight of his arms, the
his
-was seized with - a violent .thirst, which Ins physi
clans infiiritned him could only be.asstiaged by co
pious draughts of : Dohea. His majesty, with that
decision of character for which he was so pre-emi
nently celebrated, immediately ordered a halt,'and
hall a _Superb pavilion erected under a tree, which
his vuliant soldiers hail decorated with paper flags
and 'artificial flowers, to make rude nature accep
table to the eycsiof their sovereign, as well as to
astohish the world with magnificence.,
The emperor's thirst increasing etray moment,
as soon as he entered the tent he roared like a lion
for. his remedial beverage. Tnis with the expedi
-lien usual to those who anticipate capital punish
meet- for remissness of duty, had been already pre
pared, anti all that was -wanting to save them lrom
executionlwas a vessel to serve it in. '
Here, however they were in a painful dilemma;
the bearei 9f the Emperor's, silver teapot, had on,
the journeY lost th is indispensable utensil, and to
set any other before him was not only blaSphe-
Mous, but absolutely impossible.
Discovering the cause of delay, the monarch,
blending authority with clemency, caused his
careless servant to be decapitated in the niciA' mer
ciful and agreeable manner, and then sending for
a number of his chief officers, Commanded them
upon the penalty of sudden death, a catastrophe
equally unpleasant . -to Christians or Chinese, to
bring the said tea-pot into his presence, whether it
could be found or not, in the course of the suc
ceeding day. •
Now the army (says the mandiloquous histori
an) amounted tu' over five hundred ponsund mee t
beside CAW followers, and to-have grins to each
individual for the purpose of inquiring whether he
had stolen or found The teapot, was
Ai
to
dishearten the most indefatigable. A ell tiger
eater, with a cue as large and long as a ship's ca:.
ble, finally bethought himself of an expedient,
which had the happy effect of prolonging the lives
of himself and brother dignitaries.
He had several hundred' pictures draWn, repre
senting
a 111311 returning the last teapot to' the
Emperor, and receiving tne reward of his honesty,
a button and a_peacock's leathei ; whila - beneath
was portrayed a thief running,iolf with the vessel.
and pursued by a griM e i xceutioner with an uplift
ed and•vicioui looltin,g meat axe. These pictures
were hung Up en ditterent pules, and the compa•
iiies to, look. theta ; whiic, tit . the same time,
they 'tvcre informed that May would be kept March
hsig,in view of these draWings, without ; meat or
sleep until the teapot was In:stored to the thirsty
Emperor.
.• Whether through the influences of fatigue, fear,
or the hopes of, lucre, the historian dues not say :
but the utensil was conyey i ed_ to the novena] pa- j
`villton, and in a few bouts after, the rebels were
cut to Mont.:.
•
W hen the story was told by:the soldiers on their
return home, many tradesmen supposing that tea
puts were to be More fashionable than ever, had
boards euabellished with these 'articles, and that
there might be nu , mistake, had the name i)ainteil
underneath. ' - These were;placed in front of their
shops, end hence came sighs and posters.
The custom once established became universal.
was carried by trevellersjo other parts of the
world; and when nervspaperewere invented they
were seized upon as important agent to Multiply
ing, and scattering these business references' and
guides, which were subsequently. called ad-
tertisements. i •
Advertising has - now hicorno en necessary to the
prosperity of all branches Of mercantile. Lind indus
trial pursuits ; that Robin on Crusoo in his gar•
meats of goat skins. Would Go less an object of
curiosity, than a businssalman who does not pub
lish his goods in the columns of a public print.
Of the beneficial effects of advertising. our duty
to the community compete us to speak more point•
idly on another occasion.'

The'lnterlor of Africa.
• This is yet almost si , lerra incognita. We
know Europe, pretty thoroughly. , Asia has been
traversed in all its length by civilized travellers.
With the Geography of America wirmay - call our
selves familiar.. But how little do, we know of
the vast continent Which ties almost wholly.wiihin
the tropieiii and of which the greater part seems
allut up- as effectually against the advance of civ
ilization' u if it were upon another planet!
In
dee:d the umountains of the moon" would le sub
ject to more:accurate observation were, they, situa.
ted Upon the satellite from whiCh they derive their
name. The efforts of civilized, travellers have
been for centuries directed to therecesses of this
continent, yet four , fifths of it is. blank Almon our .
maps Its whole centre is .o3e.brearl unexplored
region; and the informatien .obtanzed 'by recent
travellers is- one of the most aggravating kind,
showing us mines of. wealth -it - is impossible to
work. Before giving ihv results eif these discov
eries, let us ; look upon Afar* as ,the world .bas:
known it, and 'as it may be familiar to most of our
readers. Egypt, an old worn out country; in. its
antiquities one of the' mast interesting. places on
the continent, occupies a small portion of its north
western borders - The river Nile has been expfored
to source by Bruce and other, travellers, who
have given us some curious facts. Thertarbary
-Slates occupy the northern portion bordering 04
tho Mediterranean.- south of this, and. stretching
from the Nile to the Atlantic, is the great desert of
Zahard. - -Along the whole western coast are 'Mall
establishments or faience for trade in' slaves, gold
dust, ivory, palm.oil, and other vegetable , produc
tions. This trade has been need/ mor.opalized by
the English until lately, but bow American enter
prise has taken a Lugo portion of it out of. out
hands. On this coast are the'settleinent* of Sierra
Leone and Liberia, established' ass colonies for e-
mancipated slaves ; but both, ;we have reason to
believe, are in a wretched condition. The Eng
lish posseisions are at the Cape of Good Hope.—
On the eastern shore there are a number of inde
pendent sovereignties, which, carry on . a• limited
trade. The Latium of Muscat is pi prince of con
siderable liberality end enterprise. - Quite - recently
the English have pode a settlement at Men near
the . moullsof the Bed Sea. -Having once obtained
a foot-hold,. they, English like, betan - to push about
them, and , one of their first discoveries was a river
where hone was . marked upon any chart, and up
this they steamed ; three hundred Miles without
finding the least obstruction.• Haying now pissed
round this continent let us lookinto the interior.
For half a cent ury•the English governnient have
been expending lives and treasure in partial Ts.
placation. They have found that thiewhotetnict
•efsimiatry is one of amazing fettility and beauty,
abotinding in gold, and all sorts of tropical vegeta
tion, There are hundreds of woods, invaluable
for dyeing and araiiteetural purposes, not, found
in oilier portions of the world.' Through it fur
thous - pada of miles sweeps a river, from three to
six Judea broad, with clear water ? and of unser
passing depth, flowing on at the rate of two or
-three miles an hour, without rock, shoal or eaag,
to interrupt its navigation, Oilier rivers pour into
this their tributary waters of soil volume. as must.
have required hundreds of miles to be collected;
yet they teeth scarcely to enlarge it. This ricer
pours its waters in to the Atlantic, through the
most
nfignificent de lta in the world, consisting of
perhaps a hundred mouths, extending piohably -
live hundred miles along the coast, and mostly ,
broad deep, and navigable for steamboats. Upon
this river arc scattered cities, some of which arc
'estimated to contain a million of inhabitants, and
the whole country teems with a dense population.
Far in the interior, in the very heart of this conti
nent, is a nation in an advanced state of eiviltzu
thin: The grandeur and beauty of portions of
the country through which the Niger makes its
sweeping circuit are indescribable. - In many , pla
ces its batiks use boldly, a thousand feet, thickly
covered with the richest vegetation of tropical
climes. But all this vast and sublime country,
this scene of rich fertility and romantic beauty, is
apparently shut out forever from the rest of- the
world. It is, the Negro's solo IItISSCSSiO/1. Ile
need nut fear the incursions' of the white men
there; for over this whole lovely ,country broods
one dread malaria' and to the white man it is the
°valley of the shadow of death.' , In-expedition
after expedition, sent out from the English ports
on the Island of Ascension, not 6ne white man in
ten has returned alive; ail hive - fallen victims to
this seemingly beautiful, but avifal climate. It
seems impossible for any . Englishman to breathe
that air. So dreSilful is it, so slll3ll the chance of
life, thai criminals ‘ in England have been offered
pardon, on
. condition - of volunteering in this ser
vice, more' terrible than that of cantering the poi
son from the fabled Upas. Title country, tempt
inn as it is,-Caft only - be penetrated at the risk of
life ; and it is melancholy to think, that those who
have given us the meagre, information, that we
have, did so at the sacrifice of their liver
Tux IIzAnT.—A modern writer thus heauti•
filly treats of that harp of 'a thousand strings,'
the humsn heart:
"What an odd thing experience,is! now.turn
ing over so rapidly the book of life, now writing
so much on a single leaf. We hear of the head
turning gray in a single niglic—the sane change . '
passes over the human heart. i Affection is the ty
rant of a woman, and only bids her to the banquet
to Suspend a cutting sword (ier, her head, which
a word, a look may,call down to tact the wound /
th it strikes to the-death, or heals but with a scar.
Could we thing the veil which nature and society
alike thew over her feelings, how Much, of sorrow
—unexPected because unexpressedwould be
found ! how many a young, and, beafing heart
would show disappointment gravtn on' the' inmost
core'! what a history of vain hopes, gentle,endea
'cora, and anxitties
. and • mortilications, laid bare!
There's one phrase continually occurring in con
versation—"D, a woman never marries the man>
to whom she was first attached." How often.
how slightly is this said how little thought given
to•the would of suflbrinit'it invokeil Checked by
circumstances—abandoned- from necessity, the ear
ly'attachmeqt may depart with the early enth4si
asm which youth brings, but feaviis not.
