A Morsel op IIumanitv. - There wns bom, at 69 Wallace-street, Wallacetown, on TliursiJay weok, a beauíiful fernale ohíld, thirtcen ounces weight, and seven nubes round the chest. Length oí" foot, 1 1-8 inch- JrAdv. Advertisixg. - The Southern Stasdard has nn excellent nrticle on this subect, which we commend to the nttention of business men generally. Tliey can all nppreciate the advice given, for tlieir own experience wil! confirm its truth. " As for adcerlising, in the abstract, any morchantwho has tried it would as soon think of taking down his sign, or clüsing oneofhis windows, as stopping lis advertisements. It is beyond conr larison the surest, cheapest and roadies! way of introducing yourself to the pubc. The merchant who advertises frcev, hangshis sign up in every man's paror; his name is constanlly beforo the comnmnity, and thcy unconsciously get familiar witli it, and resort to him as a matter of course. On the other hand a man who does not aóvertise, is out ofllie way; he lives on a back street with no Vont entaance to his store; he has a quiet ife of t, but in the hurry and bustleof he word he is forgotten and neglccted,as íie deserves to be."

This shows rriginalily of thought, and when expedienta are necessary, he can adopt them, even at the expense of humanity, and imioiml honor.- Cleveland Truc Democrat.
