present iron clad modesty, which is
simply ridiculous in either party,

ing feel its way, and carry on its own
courtship; requiring no restriction save
the restriction of words and formal adj

FOOLISH ExPKNcEs.--Oncei in q while
:. pensive man may be heard TO say:-s.I
wish had all the money back that I
have spent in drinks for the past ten
years Not one man i'll twenty who,
retrospectively gazing, gives utterance
to that wish,h in his mind an approx
mate estimate of the amount which a
person even Of moderate bibulous pro-
pensities may spend upon drink in the
space Of ten years. Leaving wines and
expensive liquors quito out Of the ques-
ton, let us see what q plain cocktailist
Or modest imbiber Of old rye is likely to
disburse on his favorite refreshments in
the course OF one year. Take very
moderate man as a sample.
Assume that he drinks every day one
glass of beer at ten cents and four
glasses at fifteen. That amounts to sew
cnty cents day, which makes four dol
lars and ninety cents a week. Multiply
by four, and you have nineteen dollars
and sixty cents month, which comes,
you know, to one hundred and thirty
five dollars and twenty cents a year.
Thus, if the man who had carried on at
this rate for ten years had all his liquor
money back, his pocket would be infla-
ted to the tune of thirteen hundred and
fifty two dollars. This is only small
beer calculation; but think OF the men
who spend five times this amount ON Ii
quors, and remember that their name is
legion.
