How to Become Rich.

10 he rlcHeT. lHe utiilty OF my
scheme rests in the fact, that the
poor may be made rich, and the
rich richer. But you may ask
who is he that prcsumes to pro-
pose u plan by which "every one"
may acquire fortune | am
what my name importS-a lover OF
mankind--I am recruiting Off
Ger under king. This last fact,
| fear, will close the ears of some
fortune hunters (who are opposed
to kingly governments) against my
message; but | cntreat such not
TO be too hasty. Though ours is
Il kingIy government, yet it Is by
no means despetic. Ours is a good
klng-compassionate, Kind, benev-
client, mercitul, long Suffering, slow
to anger and plenteous in mercy.
In respect to greatness, he Is the
greatest Of the great, the nob!est Of
the noble, the grandest of the
grand, potentate OF potentates,
the ruler of princes, King OF
kings-superlativc in all his attri-
butes, in majesty without arrival,
in power unequaIled and transcen-
IDENTIFY glorious. Who would be
ashamed Of such a sovereign? He
is not only clement and majestic,
but full OF love; he not only loves
his friends, but strange TO say, he
loves his cnclnics--uot only his
enemies, but his most malignant
ones. These, ard other conSdera-
tons, make me love IIIM, and de
light to serve Him; and il pains
my heart that others Late linn, and
refuse to become His SUBJECTS
But ny readers are are, perhaps,
upon tip-toe to know how they
may become rich.
This may be accomplished by
enlisting under the banner Of my
Sovereign. This will ensure you
riches untadin@. / have already
stated that | am Il recruiting Off
Ger, and | the more willingly en-
gage in this work because | love
nv fellow men, and nv heart
pants for the promotion of the
cause Of my master, and the glory
! Of his name.
Now, before offer YOU induce
ments to enlist, let me remark,
that though our ling is 50 clement
vet he is very strict in his laws
and positive in his commands.
Some recruiting officers are will
ling to enlist men who have not
complied with all his prerequisites
-aIIcdgIng that some are non-eS-
scntiaI, and that any way will Go

the history of his doings, that lie
at a certain tilne, caused q man tC
be stoned to death, who, to all hui
man Appearances, slightly disc
beyed what might be thought "a
small command"
But now let me Offer Won some
Inducements to enlist. The frs
is, the service is an easy onc-sC
easy is it, that those having enlist
ed would serve their lifetime tho
they never receivedANY pay: yea
they would pay all they could cal
their own, rather than quit tn,
service. But, in addition to it be
ing a pleasant, it is y psoitab',
service. There is more homt'
money offered than in any othe
service on earth. The bounty te
will make you rich without th
wages, and the wages are so grca
they will constitute YOU rich indie
pendently of the pensions, and tn
pension will make YOU lnetiabl,
rich without either of the former
Passing over the bounty money
