"Tell me not in mournful numbers " 



Advertising- doesn't pay. 

 For the man's non compos mentis 



Who would such absurd things say 



" Life is real ! Life is earnest !" 

 And the man who hopes to rise 



To eminence in any calling- 

 Must expect to advertise. 



" In the world's broad field of battle, 

 In the conflict of real life," 



Advex'tisiug is the magnet 

 Of achievements in the strife. 



Lives of rich men all remind us, 

 " We can make our own sublime," 



And by liberal advertising- 

 To the brightest summit climb.. 



" Let us, then, be up and doing," 

 In this journal "ads " insert ; 



"Still achieving, still pursuing," 

 Business then will be alert. 



Ill the Phrenological Journal and 

 Science of Health for May there are 

 several notable titles that must com- 

 mend themselves to readers, w^hether 

 regular or occasional, especially the 

 piquant remarks in "The Voice," 

 " Laughter," and " The Hair," and the 

 odd " Reverie on Feet," with its strik- 

 ing sketches of attitude. The other 

 parts of the number are filled with sea- 

 sonable items, not one of which has dry 

 flavor. Fowler & Wells Co., 775 Broad- 

 way, New York, publishers. 



I am well pleased with the Sewing 

 Machine you sent me ; any person 

 wanting a good Sewing Machine — one 

 that is equal to the high-priced machines 

 which are sold by agents — can do no 

 better than to send for your $15.00 

 Machine. They will be agreeably sur- 

 prised when they see it. Mine is really 

 better than I expected.
