A great statesman, Lord Bacon, has said
that "Money is like manure. Of no use till tits;
spread" Now, it would be an insult 70 you. tor
suppose you have got no money. 1t would be-,
an insult to your industry. 1t would be an in.'
suit to your industrious fathers, and careful
mothers, who have left you well off; but e

paid for hauling. to five wagons, about SOS, co.:
This is from Hamburg. Then. have 10 pay
25 cents package for forwarding, besides
drayase. postage, negro hire, &c. and risk Of
damage from acct or leakage. You think per-:
haps that pay that. No! No friends, yos
pay it. and pay all risks on merchandise. u
With rail road, all this would be avoided;
and Molasses wonld come l21 cents gallon
cheaper. Sugar $l0G hundred pounds, and /
