A NEAT THICK.

An American Contemporary says : — " The following trick has afforded us ;»o much pleasure that we cannot resist the temptation to give ii; to our readers, that they, too, may be able to enjoy a good tiling. It is quite innocent, and easily done by almost any one. Take a sheet of common notepaper ii\e inches wide and eighteen inches long, or<\s neav t!io»e dimensions as can be obtained, write your full name and post-office address upon it in large plain letters somwbere nehv the middle of the page ; then' lay a clean one-dollar greenback upon the sheet of paper, and \ carefully fold.it twice widthwise of the paper, • then pla<-e it itx a common envelope, and seal it securely ; stick a three cent portrait of the father of his country upon the upper right bond corner, anil write across the face of the envelope the address of this journal, and drop the whole thing into the post-office. The/uu of the thing is, that every montU. for a whole year you will get a copy of a newspaper that will tell you what kinds of oil jou ought to buy ; what prices you ought to pay for them; how to tell you whether they are good or not ; where they are made, and how they are made ; and » thousand other things you ought to know. Try it, aud see if it don't come out just so."
