The question as to wbetlier or not it is a benefit to the ad vertiser? ha3 beeo settled by the bualaesa world. , ,'. : . It 13 shown to be not onlj a benefit, but, in'ali our commercial communities e3 peci8iij,.a necessity. We alluded to this subject some weeks since adverted to the many evidences of its importance, and the appreciation of it3 benefits bj the masa of the business world. " There are a fe? per sons in every community who are didcult to be convinced, but their numbers are con stantly diminishing. We can 'but compare the difference produced in just five years. Previous to the war, nearly every daily newspaper, North and South, contained but I four pajres, usually amounting to 24 to 32 columns. Now we behold in New York, New Orleans, and other cities, daily papers, containing frora 64 to 128 columns of mat ter, small type four-fifths of which are paying advertisements. . Iu JIouston and Galveston they have dailies containing from 40 (o 48 collumns of matter, with a liberal proportion of sdver tisements.','' .Now these papers are patron ised by the shrewdest and most successful business, men of the country,! Where is the secret of their success?' Manifestly, in' advertising. . .: "It 13 notorious that the most prominent and successful businesss men in the interior artj those who keep their wares and busi ness', before the public. By means of the newspaper, nearly every family in town and country are. informed of what is in the market,' where' they can get articles suited to their wants, and the place where they can' be procured to the best advantage., ; " '-Receipt for Sausage Ileat. ; 1 . A correspondent of an exchange gives this receipt: "I have observed the follow- QgrTra'sLicilfof the last twenty-five years, and can confidently recommend it: It is important, ' in the first place, not to allow your meat to lay in bulk after it is separated rora the body of the bog, but keep it spread out until yoa are ready to cut fine,' If it ays some lime in bulk, .your sausage will soon become strong." . This plan prevents it. When you are ready, cut it in small pieces for grinding through a cutter and weigh, n 6rd?r for seasoning. . Then for every 40 pounds of meat take 13 ounces of salt, 4 ounces of best black pepper, aad 2 ounces of sage, all of which mix together. Then mix this with your meat. Afterwards put it through your sausage grinder, and you will find, if you are a judge of good 6ausage, an article in that line that is first rale." 1 How to Go1 to Bed." IhWs -Journal of Health gives the fol lowing advice how to jro to bed in the wic- ter time. Those who practice retiring on the "cuddle, up" plan will readily fall in with these suggestions, - ;Do it in a hurry, if there is no fire ift the room, and there ought not to be, unless you are quite aa ic valid. - "1. J.. ."But if a person is not in good health; it is best to, undress by a good fi.re; warm and dry the feet well,. draw on the stock ing i;rain;' run into a room without fire; jump into bed, cuddle up, with head and ears tinder cover. for'a minute or more, un til yovi feel a little warmth; then uncover your bead next draw, off your stockings, straighten out-turn over on your right side and go to sleep. ' "If a sense of chilliness come over you on getting into bed, it always will do an injury; and its reception increases the ill effect, without bav.icg any tendenoy to hard en vou.

A painter once wanted a picture of Inno cence, and drew the likeness of a child at prayer. The little supplicant was kneeling besida his mother; the palms of his uplifted banda were reverently pressed together; his rosy chc?k spoke of health, and his mild blue eyes were upturned with the expres sion of devotion and peace. The portrait of young Rupert was much prized by the the painter, -who bung it up on Lis study wall, and called it ''Innocence' , - , . . . Years passed away, and the artist became an old man.; Still the picture hung there. He had often thought of painting a counter-; part -the picture of guilt but had not found the opportunity. . .. .' j ,.v At last he effected bis purpose by paying a visit to a neighboring goal. On the damp floor of his cell lay a wretched ' culprit. named Randall, heavily ironsd. Wsisted thirteenth century, divided the Old Testa was his body and hollow his eye; vice was ment into chapters, as they now stand ia visible in bis face. .The painter succeeded our translation. , admirably, and the portrait of young Ru In 1661, Athias, a Jew of Amsterdam, pert and, Randall were bung side by side, j for "Innocence" and "Guilt.", . . . ;i. But who was youeg Rupert and who was Randall? Alas 1 the two were one. ; Old Randall was young Rupert led astray by bad companions, and ending his life in the j damp and, shameful dungeon.

The following novel question has been submitted, tcr an Atlanta exchange for publication: Suppose a man and & gir '.vera to get married the man thirty-five years old and the girl five years this makes the man seven times as old as the girl, and they live together until the girl is ten years old, this makes the man' forty years old, and four times as old as the girl; and if they still live together until she is fifteen, the man would be forty-five; this makes the man three limes as old, and if they still live on till-the girl is thirty years old, this makes the man sixty, only twice as old and so on. Now, how long would they have to live to make the girl as old as tha man, at tha same rate of reasoning? Several Hisses. In rambling with our friend Webster the other day wa came across a bevy of misses, to whom we will introduce tha reader: Miss Demeanor, is said to be of at least a doubtful character, ' and is often seen at the Police Court. It is best, we think. not to form any acquaintance with her. - Miss. Cellany ia a very intelligent and in teresting lady, and is much in favor with editors. - She is frequently noticed by the newspapers. Miss Anthropy is a peevish old spinster, exceedingly reserved. Miss Trust is of a jealous disposition, and rather troublesome; i a fact, almost asbad as ber cousin. Miss Construe, who gives lovers so much trouble. Miss Construction is much in favor with sectarians; she is morally serious and supposed to be well disposed. Miss Fortune, although honest and amiable, is much dreaded ond shunned by young and old. . She is rather wayward, however. and often intrudes whera she is cot wei coma, xiiss corner citen renaers import act aid to tha legal profession, and her company is sought by gentlemen of tha law. Miss Rule is a great politicianess and has bean very busy lately presiding alter nately with her relative, Miss Chief, over tha doines of Congress and the Tennessee Legislature.

Under tha belief, bunded, upon total ig norance of. the negro character, that they would, in a state of freedom, rush (radical ly'. into he. fields j and . produce fabulous mountains of cotton, and thus at one stroke enrich; themselves, a tax of three cents oa the pound was resolved to be levied. ,.

The supply of cotton will be limited, but that inexorable tax sticks to every pound of it. The negroes being the real producers, are, of course, the greatest sufferers The effect of the tax oa tha landed pro" orietor is a different' question, and is sot now discussed. , The point we make . has - reference only to the "man and' brother.

V An old experienced farmer furnishes the press with the. following information: ; If oak,: hickory,' or;, chestnut timber is failed in t the eighth month; ( Aug.) in tha second running of the sap, and barked,1 quite a large tree will season perfectly, and even the twigs will remain sound for years; whereas, that cut in winter and remaining until fall (as thick as your wrist),, will be completely sap-rotten and will be almost un fit for any purpose. The body of tha oak split into rails will not last mora than ten or twelve years.. , Chestnut will last longer, but no comparison to that cut in the eighth month. Hickory cut in the eighth month is not subject to be worra eaten, and will last a Jong time for .fencing.-. , - , . ,Wben I commenced farming ia 1802, it was the practice to cut timber for post fenc- inn in th OTintdP. : White oak. posts and M fc oak ; cut ftJ. j fonad would not last score than tan . years.: Ia 1S03, 1 commenced cutting fence timber ia tha eighth month. -: Many of the oak rails cut that year are yet sound, as well as most of those formed of chestnut. . If the bark is not taken off this month, however, it will peel off itself about tha second or third year, and leave the 6ap perfectly sound.' The tops of tha trees are also more valuabla for fuel than when cut ia winter or spring. 'I advise' young farnsrs to try the experi ment for themselves; and if post fences will not last twice as loDg, I forfeit all my ex penenca as worses. I .
