"Goop WINE NEEDS NO BUsH' As the
courage of the boastlng soldier is to be distrust-
ed, so is the braggart IN any vocation to be re-
garded with suspicion. Thus, were a store
keeper to publish that he had more customers
and sold more goods than all others in the same
Zine united, people would regard his advertise
':uent as "long yarn" and himself as hum
aug; for they would know, that man having
so extraordinary a business would be content,
oyithoUt making "a blowing horn" Of his sue
laess. 1t is unnecessary to label the best wine,
as its quality will proclaim its excellence with
good iudges-But some men proceed on the
suDposition that others are fools, and that with
such, imposition is justliahle. Propnelors OF
newspapers are not exempt from shooting with
{ong bow, and attempting by extrayagant and
incredible statements, to exalt themselves to
position which they are conscious they could
,sat reach by merit. Thus we have seen pub
Jications in various papers Of the same city,
zach giving the assurance that their circulation
surpassed, doubled, or perhaps, quadrupled that
q9f any other paper, THIS was dsgraceful eff
Sort at humbug--and yet it has been exceeded
5u other places, where proprietors, with as
rzsuch gravity as though they believed their own
assertions, have proclaimed their daily issue
from one press to be, what it would take eight
sor ten presses to produce. These may be con-
sidered as "trcks of the trade;' but they are
Siisreputable, and cannot fail to defeat the OBJ
iect in view. For ourselves we are content to
pursue the eveniteuor of our way" under the
conviction that "enough is as good as feast" !"
We are like the young lady whose father as
ssured her that, to wed was well, but to live sin
gle better-she replied, that she was content to
do yell, and would leave it to those who choose,
90 do better. We are of her mind; and shall
DC satisfied with doing well, perfectly indlfer-
ent whether Others are ten or hundred times
zxioie prosperous-for we have not "the SER
qent envy" in our bosoms.
