We are now printing Eighteen Thousand copies per day of The Daily Tribune, of which a very ous departments of Trade other words, intent on selli and Manufactures in ng their own products or those of others. We earnestly believe that many of these, with a much larger proportion of the Trading class who donh take The Tribune, are persisting in a fatally mistaken course in selling, their wares and fabrics on credit, under the mista ken impression that they must sell so or not at all, when they might sell as many (and probably more) goods for cash down if they would only spend one-guarlcr in making their goods known that they now lose in bad debts. We know how reluctant people are to abandon a settled hadit, but ' contin ual dropping will wear a stone,' and we mean to give them 'line upon line' until the desired reform i effected The following article, which has taken the prize of a Silver Cup, offered by Mr. V. B. Palmer, for the best essay for his Register on the Advantages of Advertising, discusses the subject in a broader more elemental way than it has often been consid ered, and wo ask Business Men to judge whether itis not firmly based in important essential truth. The Philosophy of Advertising. Man, they i -t . 1 - fT'V. say, is a trading animal ine oniy une. wc wants of each individual are more numerous and varied than his faculties and capacities devoted to supplying them. Each producer ol necessaries and comforts naturally produces a superabundance of whatever he produces or fabricates, and ex-j changes it for a competence of other wares or sta ples adapted to his wants. The grain grower has a large surplus of grain, but requires nearly every thing else. The. pin-maker consumes perhaps a dollar per year of his own products, and 499 worth of other people's obtained by the sale, of; hi? own And as man rises in tne scaie 01 civin- ' . . , t r.:..ii: zation his wants are increased anu aiyersiueu. - " " .1 1- J ' produces at least 500 worm to earn aui uu.u . i i i j 1 rhereof two thirds at least is exchanged uy the producers with each other, ana wuu me pro-. ducers of foreign lands.

An old doe scarred and cunning kept along the bank.aniill he reached the point where we had dragged ourselves Cut of the water A short yelp announced to, his comrades that he had lifted the scent ; and they all threw up their noses, and came galloping dotvn. There was a swift current, between i wo boulders of basalt. We had leaped this. The old dog reached it and stood straining the spring, when Lincoln fired, and the hound, with ono hhort "wough," dropped upon his head, and was carried off like a flash. " Counts one less to pitch OFer," said the hunter, reloading his rifle. Without appearing to notice the strange con duct of the leader, the others crossed in a airing, and striking the warm trial, came yelling up ihe pass. It was a grassy slope such as is often seen between two tables of a cliff and, as the dogs strained upward, we could see their white fangs, and the red blood that had baited ihom pinned alon? their taws. Another cracfc from the rifle of Lincoln, and ihe foremost hound tumbled back down the gorge. " Two rubbed out," cned the hunter, and at the same moment I saw him throw Ills rma to the ground. t The hounds kept the trail no longer, i neir quarry was before them ; their howling ended, and they sprang upon us wun tne silence 01 the assasin. The next moment wo were mingled together, dogs and men, in the fearful struggle of life and death ! I know not how long this strange encounter lasted. I felt my self grappling with the tawny monsters, and hur ling them over the cliff. They sprang at rey throat, and I threw out my arms, thrusting them fearlessly between the shining rows of teeth. Then 1 was free again, and seizing a leg or tail, or the loose flaps of the neck, I dragged a savage brute towards the brink, and summon ing all my stength, dashed him against the brow, that he might tumble howling over. Once I lost my balance, and nearly staggered over the precipice ; and at length, panting, bleeding, and exhausted, I fell to the earth- I could struggle no longer. I looked around for my Ulawley and Jttaoul had sans upon w. . -r- t 1 I good on the tother side ; he-woop-hoo !" And with this ejaculation, the kicking ani mal was launched into the air. I could not resist looking after. The yellow body boun ded from the face of the opposite cliff, and fell, wiih a heavy splash, into the water below. He was the last of the pack ! Rhode Island. Statistics showing the triumphs of the cause, furnished by the Rev. T. Watermn, Cor. Sec. of the State Society. In 1830, there were nine distilleries in the Staie ; in 1840, one; now, 1850, none. In 1833, duties were paid on 1200 gallons of rum and wine, entered at Newport the last recorded as paid in the State. From 1820 io 1830, the average number of licenses granted annually was 660, equaling 21 to each town in the State. In 1840, 26 towns granted no licenses ; the remaining 5 towns granted in all 39 ! In 1832, the number of gallons reported a sold in the city of Providence was 1,089,000, equaling more than 10 gallons to each inhabi tant of the State, at the cost of 800,000 dollars. In 1849, the whole capital invested was com puted not to equal 100,000 dollars, and the a mount sold reduced two-thirds. Every professing Christain and respectable man, as far as reports have been received, has abandoned the traffic. In 1830, not an asiociation wiih.a lotal absti nence pledge existed in the Slate. Such as sociation now exist in every town, and embrace as is computed, some 70,000 adults and youth, as friends and supporters of the same. The effecis of this glorious reform in a State, the anual cost of liquor to which had, it is com puted, reached a million and a half, of dollars, are distinctly apparent. Some of them are asi follows : Within eight years the taxable property has increased twenty-four millionsof dollars near ly one-thiid of its valuation. . . . - In the same time, large sums nave oeen ex pended in erecting, remodeling, and beautifying dwelling-houses, planting gardens, orchards, and flowersin the better supplying of fami lies with home conveniences, and the belter accommodation of the poor and insane. Some fifty church edifices have been erec led, at a coat of some 2OO,D0O dollars. Also a large number of model school-houses. Libra ries of valuable books have been liberally and extensively procured. The circulation of lite rary journals has increased in a threefold ratio.
