when, some two Years ago, upon the North
Fork Of the Salnon river, in California, over

miner, named Riley, and cne Mike nonnel-
", trader who it seemed Riley was indebt.
e to some $40 for provisions. Said Donelly
to Riley You ought TO pay this little
bill, for you know | trusted you when nc
other trader on the river would, Come, now
III throw off half, you'll pay the rest"
"Well, Mike" said RiIey, "l'Il be hanged
if I'll allow you to be more liberal than am
II YOU throw of one half, I'll throw off tn,
otheri"
"But that dout settle my account"
Then break an egg into it" said Riley
and coolly walked off.

How TO be Rich.

The way to get credit is to be punctual.-
The way to preserve it is to use 1t much
Settle often: have short account.
Trust no mans appearances-Thev are
deceptive-perhaps assumed, for the pur-
pose of obtaining credit. Beware Of gaudy
exterior. Rouges usually dress well. The
rich are plain men. Trust him, if any, who
carries but little on his back. Never trust
him who flies into passion on being dunned
making him pay quickly, if there be any
virtue in the law.
BE well satisfied before YOU give credit,
that those whom you give it are safe men to
he intrused.
Sell your goods at small advance and
never misrepresent them. tor those whom you
once deceive will be wary of you the second
time.
Deal uprightly with all men and they will
repose confidence in you, and soon become
your permanent customers.
Beware Of him who is an Office seeker. Men
d" not usually want All Office when they have
any thing else to do. A mans affairs are
rather low when he seeks office for support
Trust no stranger Your goods are better
than double charges What is character
worth if you can make it cheap 10y creduine
all alise1
Agree before hand with every man to dc
ajob, and II large do it iii writing. If any
decline this, quit, or be cheated. Though
YOU want a ob ever so much, make all sure
OF the onse. and case at all doubtful make
make sure of a guran'ee. BE not afraid tC
ask it; the best test of responsibility; for, il
