PHILOSOPHY OF ADVERTS1NC.
. t may be worth while to communicate
t) young tradesmen the ideas of ait old one
on this subject; they are simply and briefly
as follows: The first utility of frequent
and regular advertising consists in this:
there is at all times a large class of persons
both in country and town, who have no
fixed places for the purchase of certain ne
cessary articles, and are ready to be sway
,ed and drawn towards any particular place
which is earnestly brought under their no
tice. Indifferent to all, they yield without
hesitation to the first who asks., . Then, in
the country, a considerable number of per
sons, who wish a supply or the articlo ad
vertised, and dd not know of any particular
place where it is to he got, being thus fur
nished with the address of a person who
can supply thpm, naturally open a commu
nication with that address, which, perhaps,
leads to much ulterior business. People
in thp country are also liable to . bo favor
ably impressed by the frequent sigh$ of a
name in the Newspapers. The advertising
party acquites distinction in their eyes and
thus they are led, in making a choice, to
prefer him. But by fai the most important
jefieet of" advertising is one of an indirect
nature, it conveys the impression that the continue to bo tho pride of our , rising re
party pretending or not pretending or not publfck.
quackish is anxious, for business. One
who is anxious forbusjuess, is unavoidably
supposed to be an Industrious, attentive
civil person, who keep Jhe best of. article's
at. the chpapestrate, .does every thing in
trie neatest ana most tradesman-like man
or, arid in. general uses every expedient to
gratify and attach customers. People, of
course like to purchase, itnuer those circum
stances, and the system of. advertising
assuring that such circumstances exist
at thi3 paiticular shop, buch are" the
opinions of the old tradesman alluded
to, and they are certainly, supported
hjv tact lor wherever, an extensivoor jcku-
)ar system of advertising is practised, and
no back, drawing or unconquerable circum
stances exist, it is usualy. seen to bo atten
ded with a considerable share of success.
One feature in the phyloso'phy of ho sub
ject must be.caierully attended to. A faint
and unfrcqucnt system of advertising' do
not succeed not even in proportion. "Drink
deep, or taste not the Pierian spring."

Cork. Many persons' sec corks used
daily, without knowing whence come those
exceedingly useful materials,. .Corks are
cut fromlarec slaps of tho baric of the Cork
tree, species of the oak, which grows wild
in the countries south of Europe. The tree

fire, and after being soaked for a considera-
ile lime in water, it is placed under heavy
weights in order to render it straight. Its
.pxtreme lightness, the case in which it can
be compressed, anu its elasticity, arc pro
perties so peculiar to this substance that no
efficient substiiute for it has been discovered.

Distressing. The N. Y Evening Post
givesj tho-following particulars of a melan.-
enuiy occurrence which Happened a low
days since at Westroint: "Threa daugh
ters oi .ij r. uozzens, who Keeps tlio JNew
American Hotel in New York, went to the
river to bathe. The tide was low, and at
the place which they had chosen tho bank
was rocky and precipitous. The two
youngest found themselves suddenly in the
miust oi a current too strong tor them to re
sist, and were swept away from the shore.
llie eldest sister saw them snuggling and
made an cil'ort to savo them. In doing this,
she was also carried away by the current,
l all three perished. They were all very
young between tho years of twelve and' six
teen, as wo are lnlormcd."
Tho editor of the New York Herald, in
one of his recent letters from London,
says:
"A new mode of applying steam has
been invented, which will do away with
horse power entirely on canals.
On tho day of the launch last week, a
small boat of forty tons was passing and
repassing the river, without paddles or sails.
She had a high pressure engine nn board,
and there she went throush the water, miff.
pnff, puff, puff without indicating any other
oy uHum oi immvc power, or even a single
ripple .disturbing her course. .
"It seems that sho has under her bottom
a single paddle, in thd shapo of a screw,
with one turn only. To this screw is giv
en a rotary motion by tho steam engine
and its;.motion propels her through the wa
ter, without creating a single ripple on the
sundtu aruunu me noil. An experiment
wuiiiauu last wcoii on tlic Surry Canal,
and it succeeded beyond all expectation. I
saw tho little boat myself moving liko a
living creature over the dirty bosom of tho
Thame's. Thoro is now no doubt of iho
entire success of the plan, and in less than a
couple of years I oxpoct to see the whole
length of the Erie Canal navigated by steam
pojvcir,, without injuring at all its banks.
One such .steamboat as I saw could take a
train of thirty canal boats, at a speed of six
miles an hour."
J'ho-number of lives lost by Steamboat
accidents is truly appalling. In less than
3 years it is computed that about Two
Thousand msmb havo thus suddenly been
hurried to their graves. The "National
Gazetto" says that duriiicr th n vonr 1S!l(t
