Bsas We publish the following Mt the re-
quest of one of our business men, who has
been guided by it, and knows it 10 be the
true policy for advancement:
How To BE RIcH-The way to get credit
is to be punctual. The way to preserve it is
not to use it much. Settle often; have shOrs
accounts.
Trust no mans appearances-they are
deceptive-perhaps assumed, for the purpose
of obtaining credit. Beware Of gaudy exte-
rior. Rogues usually dress well. The rich
are plain men. Trust him, If any, who car
ries but little on his back. Never trust him
who flies into passion on being dunned !;
make him pay quickly, ii there be any
virtue in the law.
BE we'll satisfied before you give a credit
that those TO whom you give it are safe
men 10 be entrusted.
Sell your goods at small advance, aud
never misrepreSent them. for 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 do not usually want an Office when they
have anything 10 do. \ mans affairs are
rather low when he seeks an office for
support.
, Trustno stranger. Your goods are better
than doubtful charges. What is character
worth, if you make it cheap by crediting
! all alike?
Agree beforehand with every man about
to do a job, and if large, put it in writing
/ If any decline this, quit, or he cheated
Though you want job ever so much, make
all sure at the onset, and in case Mt all doubt
/ fnl, make sure ofa guarantee. Be not afraid
ssk it; it is the best tes: OF responsibility /;
| for, If o fence be taken, you have escaped n
| loss.
Hazlitt says most people don't think ;
! tey only think they think.

A MCLTUM-IN-PARyo CLoCX-A clock is
exhibited in this city, which not only does
dnty rs a time piece, but boils the coffee
for its owner, and awakes him in time TO
drink it. Attached TO the clock on the
right side is y brass plate, lying parallel with
the table or shelf on which the clock is
placed, and at the further end is coffee pot,
fixed upon frame, with a spirit lamp un-
derneath. Between the clock and the coffee
pot is nn alarm bell. The apparatus is thus
used: Suppose aperson persons wishes TO
rise and travel at four o'clock in the morn
ing; all he has to do is to set an inner dial
to that hour, while the outer or clock dial
indicates the true time. He also makes GER
tain dispositions Of the lighting apparatus,
which are self-euggestive. Precisely at 4
o'clock lever is moved, which causes a
drum to revolSe against friction match,
the flame from which ignites the wick
Of the spirit lamp. In half an hour,
the coffee is ready, when another drum re-
wolves, ignites another match, and lights a
candle, and at the same time the figure of a
monk pulls rope and rings an alarm bell,
etfectually arousing the sleeper. The alarm
ought, of course, to be arranged so much
before the hour of departure, as to leave
time for the coffee to boil, and the traveller
10 dress. Half an hour is too long for prac-
teal purposes, but this can doubtless be i'm
proved.-N. \. Express.

16- Paris is famous for its public parks,
and a correspondent of the Boston Tran
script gives the following interesting ac-
count of the Partisan manner of improving
Parks, under date of June 10. He writes:
The Champ Elysees, one of the most mag
nifcently laid-out grounds in the world, is
undergoing still greater improvements, to
add to its present facinating attractions
Large trees are daily seen riding through
the Champs Elysees, which are to take the
place of old and decayed ones. 1t is n
strange sight to see tree fifty or sixty feet
high, with trunk two feet in diameter,
in full foliage, moving up through the Bou-
levards on wheels. have been astonished
at the size of some of those trees that have
seen riding by me, and my curiosity led me
about mile outside Of the city TO see the
process Of taking them cut OF the ground,
which is as follows: A circle is cut round
the tree about three feet from the trunk,
and at depth of about five, through roots
and earth. The earth which adheres to the
root is covered and bound with brush and
ropes to keep all together, then large chains
are passed under the whole, and the ends
brought up above the surface of the ground.
Itnow being ready to be removed, two
heavy strong planks are laid down outside
of the hole to receive the wheels ofthe wag-
on, which are made of solid iron, and a
skeleton body of only two heavy side pieces
which connect the fore and aft wheels; the
front wheels having an axletree passing from
one side to the other, while the rear wheels
are hung like those upon many railroad cars.
having an open space, and strengthened by
heavy cross piece of iron, which can be
removed at pleasure. Over each wheel is a
windlass;to hoist by crank. Now, beingtready
to take up the tree, the heavy cross-piece is
removed, and the vehicle is backed upon the
planks, and the trunk of the tree now stands
up through the middle of the skeleton body,
the ends of the chains are made fast to the
windlasSes, and eight strong men, two at
each crank, wind up the chain and swing
the tree, roots and earth, TO the wagon, and
put iu the croSs-piece behind, attach from a
toe. horses, and drive Off The tree is low
cred into the Garth the same manner as 1t is
taken out In this manner. some OF the
avenues of Paris, which month ago were
exposed to the hot, melting sun, are now
converted into beautiful, cool, shady walks,
where one may sit at his ease under the re-
freshing influence ofthe soft, soothing breeze
from the iSeine, and admire the beautiful
scenery surrouning him.
