BY JULIAN A. SELBY. The Pulpit Yell.?The babifc of shouting bo loud as to offend tho car is perhaps equally objectionable, while a suddeu transition from one extreme to the other is sufficiently artificial to comprehend the evile of both. But tbero is another and a growing fashion, so vicious, bo offensive to good taste, ho destructive to spiritual emotions, and so repellant to serious contempla? tions, that a public speaker bus need only to hear himself as others hear him, to feel conscience-smitten for disturbing public worship. It is tbe abrupt transition from low to high ?not mere hallooing?that expression is quite too tame, but an iustaatane oub, startling yell, which would drown the sound of a savage war-whoop. Let no one think this is caricature of what is sometimes witnessed in public speakers. It would bo difficult to se? lect language forcible enough to make the description hyperbolical. If there be any wko, not having witnessed an instance of this miscalled oratory, are nnable to recognize this pbotograpb, let him imagine himself seated in a house of worship in a devout frame of mind, listening with absorbed atten? tion to an inetraotive discourse, in harmony with his serious contempla? tions, delivered in a tone of voice adapted to the sentiment and to the awakened feelings of the congregation, when, instantly, as with an electric shock, the speaker utters a yoll that falla painfully on tbe dullest ear. The rupture of a water-spout would not more surely discharge its contents than snob an explosion would empty the mind of all serions thoughts.

Newspaper Advertising. ?News? paper advertising is now recognized by business meu having faith in their own wares, as the moat effective means for securing for their goods a wide re? cognition of their merits. Newspaper advertising impels in? quiry, aud when the article offered is of good quality and at a fair price the natural result is increased sales. Newspaper advertising is u perma? nent addition to the reputation of the goods advertised, because it is a per? manent influence at work in their in? terest. Newspaper advertising it the mo?t cuergetic und vigilant of salesmen; ad dressing thousands each day, always in the advertiser's interest, and ceus lessly at work seeking customers from ! nil classes. Newspaper advertising promotes trade, for even in the dilllest limes ad? vertisers secure the largest share of wh it is being done. . Hints to Letter-Writers ?The postmaster ut New York has issued li circular which contains many valuable hints to letter-writers. Considering the fact that there are always two par? ties to a correspondence, these hints wilt ho useful to persons in the city aud out of it. The substance of the rules are, therefore, given for the benefit of all concerned. They uro us follows; 1. All mail mutter directed to iiutn berctl boxes will be delivered through those boxes. '2. Letters directed to eily addresses, street und number, will, if recognized by tho assorting clerks as intended for box-holders, be delivered through the boxes. If not so recognized, they will be delivered through the carriers. 3. Mail matter addressed without box number or street number, will be de? livered as expcditiotisly as possible, eil her through boxes, general delivery or carrier. Correspondents should direct their letters plainly, correctly and fully, und those who rent boxes would greatly facilitate the business if they will print conspicuously on their letter headings, circulars, bill-beads, cards and enve? lopes a request to correspondents to address letters to their respectivo box numbers, and if thoso who receive mail matter by carriers would direct their correspondents to includo in all cases the proper streets and numbers in tho addresses of all letters.
