choosing 3tid entertaining, or frequenting any com
pany of companions; be not too hasty in commit
ting yourself to them ; stand off a while till you
have inquired of some (that you know to be faith
ful) what tlioy are ; observe what company they
keep; be not too easy to gain acquaintance, but
stand off and keep a distance yet awhile, till you
have observed and learned touching them. Men
or woman that are greedy of acquaintance, or has
ty in it are sometimes snared in ill company be
fore they are aware, and entangled so that they
cannot easily get loose from it after when they
would.—Sir Hole.
The New York Mercury imagines, (infatuated
mortal.) that some of his “ wheel horse” sub
scribers among the farmers, song the following
sentimental ditty. Iln will find it all
work—
I digs, I boos, I plows, I sows,
J gets up wood for winter ;
I reaps, I mows, I 'taters grows,
And for all 1 knows,
I’m indebted to the printer.
I do suppose all knowledge flows
Right from the printing press ;
So off I goes. in these ’ere clo’s,
And settle up—1 guess.

DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.
GREATLY REDUCED PRICE—FROM gf, TO ’
&3 PER ANNUM.
SINGLE COPY 25 CENTS.
PROSPECTUS OF THE NEXT (or 17th) VOL.
rpilE price of the Democratic Review has here
X toforc been too high—not for its size, cost, and
character, but for the means of tens of thousands
of readers who would be glad to receive it, and
among whom it is highly desirable that it should
circulate. For the purpose therefore, of largely
widening the range of its usefulness, and of multi
plying the numbers of those to whom it may be ac
cessible, it hn3 been determined, simultaneously
with the great reduction in the expense of the post
age. to reduce its subscription price also, from Five
to only Three dollars; aud when several unite in
subscription, to as low as $2 50, or even g2 30 per
annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom
panied with but a comparatively small diminution
of its expenses) involves, of course, an entire sac
rifice of profit upon it, unless compensated by a
vast multiplication of its subscribers. There will
be at the outset only a small reduction in its num
ber of pages ; soon to be restored to its old number,
without increase of price, when the anticipated
success of tlac experiment shall justify it.
The Portraits op Distinguished Democrats
will be continued—engraved in better and more
costly style than heretofore.
The Postage will hereafter, for any distance, be
only five anil a half cents ; it has heretofore been, for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for an extension of circulation to be
reckoned by tens of thousands, as the result and
compensation of this great reduction of price.—
Every friend of the work, and of the Democratic,
principles and cause, is confidently appealed to to
exert himself with an active interest to procure it
subscribers; both to extend its usefulness, and to
carry it successfully through the crisis of this great
reduction of its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
year, will receive it, at the reduced rate, for a year
and a half.

$‘2 30 each. For six months, half these rates.
These rates afford high inducements to agents
and others to interest themselves to procure sub
scribers.
The cash system and payment in advance must be
uncompromisingly adhered to. The. past relaxa
tion of it has caused an accumulation of not far
from $40,000 of debts due to the work. Hereafter,
this mu3t be wholly reformed ; nor must cither the
most eminent political friend, or the most intimate
personal one, he displeased on experiencing its ap
plication, in the stoppage of their numbers, if they
neglect this rule ; the vital necessity of which, at
the present reduced rates, must he obvious to all.

LAST LIKENESS OF GENERAL JACKSON.
The admirable Daguerreotype of General Jack
pon, taken by Anthony, Edwards & Co., a few
weeks before his death, I,as been purchased for the
use of the Democratic Review. It is in the hands
of the artist, anrf will be engraved in the finest style
of mezzotint, of extra size." It is a most beautiful
and interesting work, declared by Mr. Van Huron
and others to give, a more perfect idea of the good
anil great old man than any other likeness! and
ongiii to be possessed and framed by every friend
" io loves or reveres his memory. Those who sub
si ri >c corly will receive it as one of the regular se
nes of Portraits.

SHAVING CREAM. If you wish toob'ain a
fine atul rich emollient, lather, without which no
one can -hive with romf >rt. try “ HENRY’S CI1I
NESE SD WING CREAM,” prepared by A. B. fc
I). Sands & Co., New’ York.
A shaving that makes the skin smooth, and the
heard soft is extremely valuable to those with ten
der faces. Henry’s Chinese Shaving Cream pos
sesses a double quality. It not only softens the
beard, but heals r!l ruts and eradicates those little
pimples which render shaving tjo unpleasant to
some. It* emollient powers cannot be too highly
praised. It gives a pleasant feeling to the, skin af
ter the razor has done its duty, and leaves it smooth
and tree from blemish. A better compound was
never invented or offered for sale. For sale at the
Drug Store, High st.. 4 doors below Middle.
