IN Mr. Moses King's little book entitled "Harvard and its Surroundings," which is a guide-book of a character worthy of the great University of New England, is the following unique advertisement, which, after an appropriate verse to the air of "Fair Harvard," proceeds as follows:-

We take advantage, in printing this edition for Mr. King, to bring to the notice of Harvard men the facilities of our establishment for the production of all kinds of nobby printing.

Freshmen - Modest visiting-cards; note-heads on which to write the first letter home to mamma; envelopes, with name and number of room, to demoralize the village postmaster.

Sophomores - Swell cartes-de-visite, fancy monograms, bills of fare, club programmes, menus. Yum! yum!

Juniors - Base-ball books, regatta printing, billiard scores, society invitations, ball cards, tickets of every description, theatrical programmes in all languages.

Seniors - Stenographic reporters furnished for heavy works, and first-class orations reproduced in three days' time; class-day and graduation printing in the latest style of the art-preservative. We cordially extend an invitation to the survivors of the Lampoon to call and examine the largest printing establishment in New England. Rand, Avery, & Co., Printers by contract to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and by courtesy to their Royal Nibs - the undergraduates of Harvard University. - Courier - Journal.
