Well-dressed Men— Among tho-a habitual errors of conduct'which are common in both careful and careless persons, not one is more often met with than di-regard of the advantages derivable from being well dressed; yet whoever lives observantly in such a County as Patca. is soon con vinced that this mistake is fruitful of. mischievous results. Ail of us instinctively judge from first impressions; we proceed from the exterior, to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for beauty and our appreciation of neatness; and there is no one, however cynical or unobservant, but is pleaded when a well-dressed person, even if a stranger, passes by, and disposed to think favorably of him. This universal dispo -ition cannot safely be offended; To be habitually a sloven is to constantly, though unconsciously, offend numerous persons, among whom the favour of some may be valuable; and therefore a shrewd man is not content to make himself neat now and then, but always will appear well dressed. He keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of a tailor. In bringing this maxim before public notice, 11. A. Adams. Cardigan Home, is gratified by remembering that the disposition of a great many of his customers to appear in public well dressed lias been met by the combination in his goods of selection, material, good tit. and low price. He obtains his cloths in the most advantageous markets; he employs lirst-class cutters and workmen: he avoids obsolete fashions; and he is content with moderate profits in the place of tne exorbitant percentage which only a few years ago was universal, and still is frequent in the tailoring trade. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, ties, and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whateverexpcrience, capital, care, and good taste can effect on the tradesman’s side, is done by It. A. Adams, in order that all his customers may realise the substantial advantages of being well-dressed; and that his efforts give satisfaction, is shown by the rapid and steady increase in the number, of those who deal with him. Attentive to the changes of costume necessitated by varying seasons, and of style by the dictatee of fashion, 11. A. Adams has now on hand a largo and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—lt. A. ADAMS Cardigan House, Carlyle.— advt. About the cheapest thing of the day, says the Chicago Tribune, is sheet music; you can buy it for a song. Why not call a smart dog a cleve man ? Wo call a smart man a clever dog, you know.
