We clip it from an exchange paper, and
respectfully call the attention to it of crtain
persons who feel disposed to spread in
the newspaper lin: :
A young man who ardentlv desired
wealth. was visited by his Satanic majes-

devil was to supply the money, and at
last to have the soul, unless the young
man could spend more money than the
devil could lurnish-years passed away
the man married, was extravagant in
his living, built palaces, speculated widely
lost and gave away fortunes. and yet
his Golfers were always full. He turned
politician and bribed his way TO power
and fame, without reducing his " pile" Of
gold. He became a"fllibuster." and 6t
