ADVERTISING.

(By Walt Mason)

I asked eight, dollars and a half for one lino black Polled Angus calf, which price was not too high. I hoofed it west, 1 hoofed it cast, endeavouring to sell the beast, but no one wished to buy. Day after dav I toiled along, and bored men with the same old song', “1 have a calf for sale; I ask eight bones and fifty cents, for this unequalled critter, gonls —who will dig up the kale?” Then said a friend, “Oh, rest your feel, and quit your wearing out; (lie street, and howling by the year; spend fifty cents, and advertise your sawed-off cow of pocket size, and buyers will appear.” I followed up (hat sane advice, and pul my jaded feet, on ice; and when the ad. appeared ten customers came to my gale; one bought the calf and paid the freight, the others bucked and reared. And thus, by printing little ads, (he wise man gathers in the scads, and rests his aching corns; a. little ad. will make more noise than fifty-seven noisy hoys all tooling on their horns.
