A. WARNING TO ADVERTISERS.
Tho Insanity of Dr. J. C. Ayor, of Low
ell, affords a terrible warning to adver
tisers. Hero was u man encaged In the
manufacture of a pill, not dlilerlng much
from n hundred other pills that may be
obtained nt any drug store. In tin un
guarded moment ho made up his mind
that he would advertise, not in the picay
une style of the ordinary denier, but in a
comprehensive sort of way, by which he
could reach every possible purchaser of
pills. He started with the idea of devot
ing half of his profits each year to adver
tising. The result might lmve been fore
oni.n TTi. niwiiiniilntud inoiicv so rapidly
that bo did not know what to (lo with It.
When lie hud lolled together fifteen mill-
in,winiinran,..ll.ndvnrnlv endeavored to
find somo outlet for his ever-Increasing
i.miitu iiU min.l i'uvp wnv under the ab
sorbing cures of his vast business, nnd ho
Is now a patient at nn asylum for the in
sane. How easily this calamity m ght
have been averted. If lie hntl stuck to
the conservative methods of many of our
merchants and refrulned from advertis
ing, he might have been passing quietly
through bankruptcy now, instead of be
ing loaded down with his uncounted
millions. It is a dangerous experiment
for a man who does not want to become
rich to advertise. Or If ho advertises at
all he must ndvcrtlso grudgingly and tit
long Intervals, lest his profits should
grow out of all proportion to ills require
ments, nnd ho should find himself bur
dened Willi weiillli. Advertising, cui
ducted on the principle of devoting half
tho proms or a easiness to it is, wu re
peat, a dangerous experiment. It precip
itates n fortune upon the advertiser so
suddenly that the chances aro even that
he will not know what to do with his
money.
RUSSIAN FUNERALS.
Much ns I dislike funerals, I lmve had
to see many, and of all khuh, but none,
except nt tunes, In the form of the KpU
copal church, are to me so beautiful or so
pleasant as these Russian funerals. The
Prcsbvferinii form Is too cold, too black,
too still. We bury our dentl too much
ns if wo wero trying to draw a lesson
from tho dead, and ni if we doubted
where the soul had gone. The Catholic
service Is too grandiose. There Is fine
music, but the ceremony Is too long and
entirely confined to the officiating priest.
In the Russian church every one seems
to be taking a put lu the service, ami
thu dead nru treated with a tenderness
and love not elsewhere found. The bows
and protestation-', the tapers in each one's
hands, the kissing the hands, the earth
thrown in the eotlin with its beautiful
symbolic meant ng,nru marks of a Heel Inn
ate respect, as well ns the carrying of
the colllu and the earth thrown into
the grave hv the hands of thefilends and
relatives. There two no black palls, no
double eofilns or burial caskets, no horrl
blo screwingdown of the lid. "Dust thou
art, to dust must thou return," is a truth
which man here docs not attempt to
evade. As I said above, every ceremony
and every repetition here tends lo make
us realize the fact ofdeath, without de
stroying any of Its Minctlty.
My thought! and relleetlons havo do-t-tiued
too long, and thu funeral procc-'
slou which gave rise to them has parked
my window long since, and thu church
bells nre silent. Iitigeno .Schuyler, lu

WET BOOTS.
A friend writes from Kuiope: Whnt an
amount of dlacomtort wet boots entull.
to be sure; ami how well weallivcnl) the
fretful ell'orts wu have now ami then
made to draw on a pair of hard baked
ones which wero put up by the lire over
night to dry. Damp uu I adhtslvo with
in, they nro without stUl" and uiiyleldi.ig
as a horn. Once on, they tire n Mirt of
modern stocks destructive of nil comfort
ami entirely demoralizing to the temper.
Tile following device will rob tho wet
barnyard of a slushy winter or f-prlng
evening of half its promise of discomfort
for tho next morning: When tho boots
aro taken oil', fill them quite full with
dry oats. This grain has n great fond
nesss for damp, and will rapidly absorb
tho Inst vestige of It from the leather.
As It takes up the moisture it swells, uud
fills the hoot with a tightly fitting last,
Keeping its form good, and drying the
leather without burdening It. In the
morning, shako out tho outs and hang
them In a bag near tho fire to dry, ready
for tho next wet night, draw on the boots
uud go nappy about thu day's work.

mission sent out by tho Government to
find and treat for pence and good-will
with tho Sioux chief, Sitting Dull, has at
length succeeded in coming face to face
with the redoubtable Indian chieftain
and have fulled to bring him to any
terms, and, in short, the Commission has
met .Sitting Hull and that worthy has
dismissed It abruptly ami disdainfully.
The expedition lias failed in Its purpose,
nnd tbo Sioux question is us far from a
satisfactory solution us when Terry and
his brother Commissioners first set out on
their long and tedious Journey to the
Northwest.

Nothing Is more easy than to grow

everybody belonging to you to befriend
no man, aud havo no man for your ft lend
-to neap Interest upon lnteret,eent upon
cent to be mean, miserable and despised
for some twenty or thirty yeuis-nnd
riches will come as sure as dUvasu and
disappointment. And when pretty near
ly enough wealth IscoUected, by a disre
gard of all tho charities of the human
heart, and at tho expense of every enjoy
meut, death comes to finish the work
the body is buried in a bole, the heirs
dance over it, and thesplrlt goes where?

Peruvian Syrop.
Brooks, Mo., Sept. 7, 1S70.
Dear Sir From oarly youth I was In feeble
health, troubled with humor In my blood,
weakuoss and debility of the systom gener
ally; wns unablo to labor much, nnd only at
some light business, ond then only with
great caution. Sevon years ago, tho past
spring,! had a sorero attack ol 1) phthorla
which ioft my limbs parallzed and useless,
so I was unable to walk or even sit up.
Noticing the advertisement of I'jsnuvJAN
SYRUit, I concludod to glvo It a trial, and to
my great Joy soon found my health improv
ing, I continued tho uso of tho Svnue until
threo bottlos had been used, ana was restor
ed to complete health, and havo remained
so to this day. I attribute my prosont
health entirely to the use of I'khuvian
Syrup, and hoid it In high estimation. I
cannot speak too highly in Its praise. I
have In several cases recommended it In
cases very similar to my own with the aame
good results.
Yours truly, Citari.es E. Feaiiov.

"Wistau's Balsam of Wild Cherry
gives universal satisfaction. It seems to cure
a cough by loosening and cleansing the
lungs, and allaying irritation, thus remov
ing the cause, hinttad of drying up the cough
and leaving tho cause behind. I consider
tho Balsam the best cough modiclno with
which I am acquainted." Sold by all drug
