How TO Keep Poor.

The sandusky (ohio) Register, says;
The way to keep poor is to buy two
glasses of ale every day, five cents each,
amounting in one year to SS6 so; smoke
three cigars-one after each meal, COM
ing up in the course of the year to S54
rs: keep big dog, which Will consume
in a year at least SIS worth of proyis-
ions: and cat 81 more. Altogether
this amounts to SII0 15-sufhcient to
buy six barrels OF Hour, one hundred
bushels of coal and a barrel of sugar,
one sack of coffee, a good coat, a re-
spectable dress, besides a frock for the
baby. and a half dozen pair of shoes
more or less. Just think oft.
According to the above figures, Sam
dusky must be cheap place in which
to live. In this section of the country,
the items of -four. sugar, and coffee,
would use up the S110 Is; and the coal,
good coat, respectable dress frock for
the baby, and half dozen pair of shoes,
would come out short However, the
argument against the use of the delete
rious and unnecessary articles enumer-
aIed Is plain, and should be needed. II
the money squandered would not pur-
chase the amount stated, it would go
long way towards it, and buy many
comforts for the family.

THoUHaH the conrts of Nevada hold
firm to their decision against the "spe-
cific contract law of that state, and so
break down the legal barrier to the use
ofthe national currency, the influence OF
the San Francisco bankers and capital
lists is SO powerful there, and is SO ener-
eetically exercised, that all business is
still. done upon a gold and silver foot
ing, and greenbacks are there, as in
California, still an article of merchan-
disc, selling at 20 to SOC specie on the
dollar. But for the. potent influence of
San Francisco, the California Legisla-
ture would itself this winter have re-
pealed the specific contract law of that
State; and to-day, we should have wit
messed a common currency throughout
the nation. A San Francisco letter says:
SIT was thought at one time that the
measure was likely to pass, and a run
on the savings banks of San Francisco
followed, the small depositors in their
ignorance believing that in the event oil
the specific contract act being repealed,
their deposits, made in gold, would be
returned in greenbacks- One house
lost SITS, 600 of its gold deposits, on
some of which interest for six, or even
eight or ten months was sacrificed by

A Fathcr-in-Law i'm Spite of Him
self.

The London correspondent of the New
Orleans Delta writes the following to that
paper
"A good sell is related of wealthy bank
er here, who is very good natured but in
clined to be a triflc fast in views of life.
He had Il favorite clerk, young man of
about twenty-one, and remarkably hand
some, modest, and intellectual. For these
qualities he was liked by every one, and the
banker did not escape the general feeling of
good will, He was as poor as his salary,
and had no connections to push him after
fortunes, and SO, like most English clerks,
he would rise to one handred and twenty
pounds year, henceforth to vegetate and
find that additional ten pounds year rise
only kept pace with the additional babes in
the household. The banker, on Sunday
afternoon, when no one was expected.
would occasionally ask the young man to
visit his young family at the suburban
villa as the conversation of the young man
was so correct and clever, it could not but
be of advantage to his children. This was
a mistake, evidently, but it was a good-na-
tured error, and we can only wish, all of us.
that there were more committed. | have
not mentioned that there was beautiful
young daughter Of nineteen, but that may
always be understood in any English family
that has known welded life long enough
But there were, Of course, no attentions on
the part of the young man other than cx-
tremely delicate reserved and proper This
will most always be the case with English
youth, as Americans well know.-Don't
hem after this. The youth, in spite of two
or three days invitation to the bankers
seat, to breathe fresh air and clear his lungs
of London smoke-was evidently very i'll,
and though he declared himself well and
robust, the banker shook his head.
Il cannot make out what is the matter
with my young clerk said the banker to a
confrere who was in his back office with
him, after the youth had just brought in
some papers.
well, you are green, should say, for a
man OF your time Of life and experience

what's the matter he's in love 2
In love bah. He is modesty and pro-
priety itself
i tell you it is a fact and with rich old
fellows daughter who would no more think
of having him for a son-in-law than you
would
'Oh the naughty old fool my clerk is
as good as his daughter, and be hanged to
him. Thank you for the hint
AS soon as banker number two had dis
appeared, the clerk was called in.
so, sir, you are in love. and pining away
for the object OF your ailection-that's the
secret is it ? why did you not tell me be-
fore, sir p
The youth was silent.
We'll, my boy, pity you but I'll give
you a word of advice. If the daughter is
fair, she's worth running risk for. Look
here there are $500, and two months
leave of absence. Run away with the girl
Bah, don't look so stupid / did the same
before you, and it didn't hurt me-
The clerk fell on his marrow bones, and
was upon the point of making clean breast
of it when the old man rose and left precip-
lately. TO avoid scene. The young man
considered and acted. and the consequence
was that the next day week there was no
young daughter at the dinner table of the
banker at the country house. The house
was in consternation and search made for
her in all directions. \ note however.
found on her dressing table, conveying the
customary prayer for forgiveness, and one
enclosed from the young clerk, stating that
believing the banker had meant to give him
a hint with regard to his daughter, and was
not able to give his public consent owing to
appearances he had acted on the sugges-
ton, and that ere his 'father-in-law' had re-
ceved the letter he would be his son-in-aw.
This pill was a bitter one, and the joke a
terrible one against him. and the city men
are very adverse to a joke against them !;
so it was hushed up, and has only got to
the ears of the purveyors OF scandal and to
your correspondent, who records it as a
trait of London life"

Charles Waterton, the Naturalist.

DR.. Hobson, a Leeds (EnglaId) physi-
clan, has just given to the world smdry rem
iniscences of most wonderful specimen of
muscular Christianity. The Christianity,
indeed, is not precisely of the type most in
favor with the votaries of the new school,
but the muscularity of the particular Chris
tian in question throws all the feats of novel
and magazine Christians altogether into the
shade. The late Charles Waterton, the
Yorkshire squire naturalist the rider upon
crocodiles, and the ardent defender of the
Jcsuts, is DIR. Hobsons hero. and an unique
hero he must have been. Dr. Hobson de-
clares that he saw him when II years of age
scratch the back part of his head with the
great toe of his right foot If this is not
enough to make half the clowns in the Lon
don theatres die of envy they must be mus
cular Christians themselves. The crocodile
riding was one of Mr.. Waterton's humblest
teats, for the brute had been caught by an
immense hook baited with raw flesh, and was
being Herewith dragged along the river
shore by crowd of natives, when Mr.. Wa
terton jumped astride him. But there is a
story of his tacklng some rattlesnakes at
Leeds in the presence of room full oftloc-
tors, which may be confidently recommend
ed to the author Of Guy Livingstone" Pro-
fessor Kingsley, or Mr.. Lever, when they
are in want of some fresh illustration of the
wonders wrought by pluck And if this is
not enough, and they have heroine on hand
who will only be won by stroke Of daring
absolutely prcter-human, let them borrow
the account Of Mr.. Waterton's hugging the
Borneo ourang outang in the Geological Car
dens in 1861. An old gentleman IS years
old entering the cage of a ferocious aDe, and,
while caspcd in its horrible embrace, study
ing the formation Of its hands, and still more,
OF its teeth, is, it may be safely stated, a
thing not likely to be seen every day in the
Regents Park. How these muscular pow
ers were nourished is rs surprising as the
powers themselves. Mr. Waterton never, in
his whole life, drank wine, spirits or beer.
delighting in a very weak black tea For
30 years he never slept in bed, but found
the hard boards a pleasant couch. Then he
was perpetually bleeding himself. whenever
he felt tightness in his chest or any sort
of illness. taking from himself as much as
16 or 20 ounces of blood at time, and let
ting the blood run till he felt quite comfort
able, when he would bind up his arm him
self rs handily as the cleyerest surgeon. AS
for his fastings they were severe to the last
degree, exceeding the sevcrest rules of the
Roman Church, and no remOnstrances, Ell
ther of priest or doctor could ever induce
him to diminish them. Yet he lived to SO,
and Hobson saw him jump over a fence 3
feet inches high, without touching ii either
with hand or foot, when he was in his 10Th
year. Did Guy Livingstone, or Charles o.
Malley, or anybody else, ever do the like?
If the tectotalists do not Immediately can
onize Mr.. Waterton and make him their pat
ron saint they have no sense of gratitude or
piety in them.
