ADVERTISEMENTS.

When people see a man advertise they know he is a business man, and his advertizing pro- claims that be is not above busiaess, but anxious to do it. Customers, like sheep, are gregarious, and flock where they see others go. If nobody else were engaged in the same business, it would

| be important to tradesmen and dealers to adver- | tize in the paper, because they are tempted to |

buy what they read of. But others are engaged in the same business, and even if they do ad-

‘He has fainted again,’ said the latter gently, answering the question written in her brother's face. ‘The bed is mado now, let me lay him upon it.’

And this time, unreproved, she lifted |

the boy in her arms, and carried him to

| the bed she had desired the landlady of

the house to bring up from her own room, And sad and strange were her thoughts as, bending over the little face, she traced the features of his dead aunt—that cousin she had loved so well, and whom she had watched lying just as death-lice.

Sitting apart, her face again buried in her hands, and leaving to Katharine the sole attendance upon her child, Jane re-~

she heard at last the faint accents of her boy whispering her name.

No one now remained in the room but herself, her children and Katharine ; ail nad been dismissed, and sie arose quickly from her seat and approached the bed.

‘I so better,’ murmured the little one thankfully, ‘and so warm! ’

her so lovingly; and Katharine, lest she | should seem to pry into her emotion glid-

‘No, Lizsie, not today. He must not have much yet, and after you have had | your dinner, you shall go and buy some things to make him more comfortable—_ you will know what to get better than I) | do.’ | Pefore Lizzie could answer, the landlady
