The Way to Get Rich.

The only way by which capital can in
I cflasei is by saving. If you spend as
much as you get you will never be richer
M. nS;;n you are! ,aTis nosswhat,a man gets,
bat what a'fmaif saa77 4th!;akeons!i!utes his
wealth, Go, learn, the first two rules. q
arlthmetic--iearn addition and subtraction.
Add TO your present capital any amount
you please---subject the sum which you
add, and tell me if the last amount will
not be the same as the first. Every mer-
chant should, in every year of his life,
make some addition 10 his capital. You
say you get but little; never mind, spend
less Than that little, and then the next year
you will get more, for you will have the
profit upon the sum you save. There is
no royal road to wealth any more than to
geometry. The man who goes on spend
ing all he gets, and expects by some lucky
hit he shall be raised TO wealth, will most
likely sink into poverty--ior in the case
of adverse fortune he has then no re-
source; whereas by economy, he may lay
by a stock that may serve as a provision
in case of adversely. A man says that
the times are bad---the laws are bad. BE
it so but, were the case reversed, II
would make no difference 10 you. Look
at home; you spend more than you get;
how can you be otherwise than poor !

servants had they known how TO com,

to see which preponderates, all their diff
cultes might have been avoided. A very
small acquaintance with the principles of
commerce is sufficient TO teach that, if a
man spends every year more than he re-

MONETARY MArrERs.-The money market
in the Eastern cities is at present exhibiting
much more stringency and manifest signs OF
pressure than has been apparent before in
some time. The amount of paper offering
at the banks and dscounting houses is rapid
ly increasing, and rates Of interest tend up
ward.
The cause of this unusual tghtness at this
season of the year. is attributed 10 the very
great uncertainty Of European affairs. The
usual supply of money that has been brough,
here on long loans, has been temporarily sus-
pended, or loaned spsringly. consequently a
vast amount Of rail road paper has been fore.
ed into the ordinary commercial monetary
channels. Paper on call ranges from to
per cent, on short time according to quail.
ty in the Wall street market. These rate.
are very unusual in that market.

We call the attention Of our patrons to the

table has been carefully prepared, taking the

maximum, and gradually adapting the ratio
of prices to the increase of matter end time.
These rates OF advertising are no advance
over the old rates, more than the publishers
Of both daily papers, Enquirer and Journals
have pledged themselves not to publish adj
yertisements for less than the above bill OF
prices, as we probably both have done at
times, in the face of our published terms
We will faithfully adhere to these rates, and
we can at least say, so far as this office Ii
concerned, that advertisements need not be
offered US with the expectation of getting
them inserted for less than the terms stated
These rates are very low-at least as low a
those of any other daily paper published il

and Nashville rates. We are satisfied wit

charged with defrauding young lady out Of
81, by pretending to tell her fortune for tina.
sum. The young lady was told that she
would not be married in less than ten weeks,
and the reasons given which would prevent
the occurrence of such an event sooner. Not
hiking to wait SO long, she preferred charges
against the sorceress, avowing that she cared
nothing for the 81, but that she would not
have her matrimonial affairs interfered with.
The Madame was held to bail in $500 for her

BANK NorEs SToLEN-$40,00 900 LOST
The Bank Of Tennessee, as we learn from
the Nashville Banner, recently ordered from
;tt (, nan sett of Bank notes of various
denominations Win UacKs. Inc pcx
containing these notes were received a few
days ago, but none Of them have yet been
put into circulation. On Monday ten dol.
lar bill, red back, without signature, was
presented at the counter Of the Bank. II
was genuine note; but as none had been
issued, suspicious were aroused, and an ex.
animation ofthe contents of the box, which
had net previously been opened at the bank
disclosed the fact that notes of the denomi
nation Of ten dollars to the amount of S40,.
900 had been distracted. None of the other
notes were disturbed. The box came from
New York in charge Of Adams g. Co.'S Ex
press, and it is thought the notes were ab
stracted on the steamboat between Louisville
and Nashville. The person who presented
the note at the Bank, stated that he obtained
it from a negro who had purchased good.
from him 10 the amount Of IS, and received
SIS in change. The appearance of the negro
indicated that he was a steamboat hand
The community should be on their guart
against these notes. The banks will not is

whole 40 900 dollars are recovered.

Our citv has now q large and beautiful
cemetery. situated two miles from the cor.
pora,ion. The purchase and fitting up OF
this cemetery has been credtable to Evans
Vile. The situation is high and beautiful,
and the reflection must be gratifying to our
citizens, that when the bodies of their rela.
tiyes and friends here are committed to the
mother earth, and their own lives shall have
fitted away, so beautiful spot will receive
the last remains, and there among the old
forest trees and the songs of birds and the
loneliness Of fresh flowers. they will sleep
their last sleep.
But our cemetery is not yet complete
There is one very necessary appendage to it.,
which we think has been long enough delay
ed. We now allude to house for the Sex
ton, at which he may be found at oil times
when not engaged necessarily abroad on the
business of his duties. The cemetery is 30
far distant from the city, that the Sexton
cannot properly. attend with watchful care
to preserving the grounds, with their trees,
mementoes of affection and remembrance
&C., from the vandalism of the vicious. II
is moreover u serious addition to his duties
to be compelled 10 reside SO far from the
cemetery, when those duties require his dali
ly attendance on the grounds. But aside
from the preservation of the cemetery's prop
erty, and convenience to the Sexton, there
are other considerations. A place is wanted
near the grounds where women and children
can rest themselves, and in the hot months
obtain glass of cold water. We now speal
for the poorer classes. Our "better Off
friends probably do not know how many
"friends of the dead" follow on foot cold re
mains to this cemetery, and there weariet
and thirsty, cannot find a drop OF water with
in half mile, nor the shelter of house from
reasons for the erection Of such building a
the cemetery. 1t is a necessary appendage
and SO considered at every other place, wher'
the cemetery is distant from the city which
established it. We therefore hope that on
City Council will take this subject into con
sideration. and act promptly as in their Owl
judgment they may think proper; and
they conclude to erect such building, W
p hope it may be such residence as will no
disgrace the beautiful and spacious grounds
