Not for many years—not in a lifetime of most men who read this paper 3 —has there been so much grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seem- ed so incalculable as at this time. In our ‘own country there is universal commer: Ri cial prostration and panic, and thousands of our poorest fellow citizens are turned out against the _ approaching winter without employment, and without the prospect of it. Sg | ~~ “In France the political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs, as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent, upon- the horizan of Europe; while all the energies, resources and influences of the British Empire are sorely tried, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in ~ coping with the vast and deadly Indian insurrection, and ~ with its disturbed relations in China.

Post— an editorial that should be reprinted by hundreds : 7 .spapers, for the benefit of them selves and their local merchants—‘“there’s nothing on earth so mysteriously funny as an advertisement. The prime, first, last - and all the time object of an advertise- ment is to draw custom. It is not, was not, and never will be designed for any other human purpose. So the mer- chant waits till the busy season comes and his store is so full of custom that he can’t get his hat off and then he ~ rushes to his printer and goes in for advertising. “When the dull season gets along and there is no trade and he wants to sell goods so bad he can’t pay his rent, he stops his advertising. That is, some of them do, but occasionally a level headed merchant does more of it and scoops in all the business, while his neighbors are making mortages to pay the gas bill. “There are times when you couldn’t stop people from buying everything in the store if you planted a cannon behind the door, and that’s the time the advertisement is sent out on its mission. It makes light work for the ad- vertising, for a calk sign on the sidewalk could do all that was needed and have a half holiday six days in the week; but who wants to favor an advertisement? They are built tod o hard work, and should be sent out in the dull days when a customer has to be knocked down with hard facts and kicked insensible with bankrupt reductions and dragged in with irresistible slaughter of prices before he gill spend a cent. : “That’s the aim and end of advertising, my son, and aver open a store don’t try to get them to come are already sticking out of the windows, but advertisements right between the eyes in the on and you will wax rich and own a fast horse aps be able to smoke a good cigar once or twice .
