years—not in a lifetime of most men who read this paper

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 |

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

hie “My son,” ran an editorial in the Bridgeport (Conn.)
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. :
