are eight; and acting in accordance with
this fixed fact, he economies and makes a
raise to pay off the $500, and if he is wise,
uses his savings in doing the same kind of
business himself with his fellow clerks, and
becomes a grasping, greedy, rich miser. Ma
ny have done it, and make more than their
salaries. He is a poor calculator, indeed,
who cannot, from $4,000 invested in this
business, make it double in year; and the
chances are that he finds his employers be-
come his best and most grateful customers.

PHILADLPHrA-A GENUINE ToPER-A
WIFE's SrRArAGEM-No CURE FOR HIM.
Eeel-tea, and all other curses for drunken
ness that humane science has ever devised,
were tried in vain on Philander Mich
oils the las, maker. Mrs. Nichols had
used some desperate remedies, such as
sleeping large quantities Of julep, aloes, ip-
ecac, &c. in Philander's grog; but he con-
tinued TO drink with undimnished relish,
and the consequences Of this dosing system
were more troublesome to Mrs. Nichols
herself, than they were to Philander, her
husband. Being dead drunk every after
noon, within half an hour after he began
his days jollfication, so rapidly did he pour
down the liquor, he never felt the slightest
Inconvenience or unpleasant sensation on
account of the medicines he had swallowed.
At last Mrs. Nichols bethought herself
of another plan for making a reformed
drunkard of her lord. She engaged a
watchman for a stipulated reward, to carry
Philander to the watch-house, while he was
in state of insensibility, and to frighten
him little when recovered. In conse-
quence Of this arrangement, PhIlander
walked up about eleven O'Clock at night,
and found himself lying on pine bench
in dim and strange apartment. Raising
himself on one elbow he looked around till
his eyes rested on a man seated by a stove,
/ and smoking a segar. ''Where am II"
said Phlapder. sin the medical college -
answered the segar smoker. ''Nhat a do
ing ,here'" "Going to be cut up" GLOW
comes that?' why you died yesterday while
you were drunk, and we bought your body
to make a'anatomy." "It's a lie; Pm not
dead" "No matter; we bought your car
cass from your wife, that had right to sell
! it, for it's all the good she could ever make
of you. If you're not dead, that's not the
fault Of the doctors, and they'll cut you up,
dead or alive. ."-"You will do it, eh? %
asked the old sot. cay; to he sure we
will; now directly" was the resolute an
swer. "WeU; can't you let us hare 1T
tie something TO drink be fore you begin?
This last speech satisfied the watchman
that Philander was hopeless case; and Us
his reward was contingent on his successful
treatment of the patent, he was not little
cbagrined at the result; so, With no gentle
handling, be tumbles the irreformable ine-
briate out of the watch se.-l Penn.
