one Hundred MllIlons a Yenr.

Seventy four thousand doctors
Think Of it. All this number II
our country, according to the pres
ent census, unless the newspaper
inform us falsely. In 1860 there
were fifty five thousand, an in
crease OF nineteen thousand in ten
years, or nearly two thousand &
year!
Ought not these figures to "giyC
us pause?" Reflect moment oi
what an army they would make,
even iQ this day Of big armies; OF
what a city they would form-larg
er than any in many Of the Oldest
States.
Or, look at it again from another
point Of view. What a mint of
money it takes to support this
immense army! Probably we are
within the mark when we calculate
that the average income Of the a.
600 from practice, is $1,000 year
each; this makes S74,0Q0,00O a
year, which the sick pay for medi-
cal advice For their medicines,
it is safe to say they pay the odd
$26,000, 600, which remains to
make up Sl00,OO0,000 a year, as
what sickness costs the American
people. And in this calculation we
have altogether left out of account
the tons and hogsheads Of quack
menicines which this misguided
people pour down their throats.
We can safely estimate that at S25.
000,00 a year more.
Let the people study these Gg-
ures awhile, and then reflect that
probably one-half, or certainly
large fraction Of this expense, is
incurred by a deliberate intraction
of the laws Of health that if they
tipplcd less, smoked less, over
worded less, were less given to
lechery and wantonness, ate slow
er, were less fast" and less self
indulgcnt, they would save some
thirty or forty million dollars every
year
Making money is, in America,
"the chief end Of man." and plenty
Of advisers are ready with their
wise saws how it can be accom-.
plished. We are one of them, and
offer a saw quite as true and less
trite than any of them, aud it is
this-keep healthy. Living in the /
midst of a commercial mart, and
in the thick of the desperate con.
lict for wealth, we have seen many /
a hero in the fight loose all for
want Of health lose it, perhaps,
ust at the moment when a month
or two more Of work would have
made a fortune.

As Tom grew old, however, hi
grew thoughtful. Having secured
the good things of this world, he
began to feel anxious about the
next. He thought with regret o.
the bargain he had made with his
black friend, and put his wits to
gether to cheat him out of his con
| ditions He became, therefore, al
of a sudden, violent church -goer
He prayed loudly and strennously
as if heaven were to be carried by
force Of lungs. Indeed, one might
alwa, tell when he had sinned the
most during the week, by the clam
orof his Sunday devotion! The
peaceful christians who had been
modestly and quietly travelling
Zionward, were struck with self
reproach at seeing. themselves out
stripped in their career by this new
made convert Tom was as rigid
in religion as in money matters he
was a stern supervisor and censurer
or his neighbors, and seemed to
think every sin entered up to their
account became a credit on his own
page. He even talked of the eX-
pediency of reyivlng the persecu-
tions of the Quakers and Anabap-
fists; in a word, Toms zeal became
as his riches,
Still, in spite Of his strenuous
attention to forms, Tom had a Sc
cret dread that the Devil, after all,
would have his dues, Lest he
might he taken unawares, there
fore, it is said that he always car
ried a small Bible in his pocket.
He also had folio Bible in his
counting room desk, and would of.
ten be found reading when people
called on business on such occa
sions he would lay his green spec
tacles on the book TO mark the
place, while he turned round to
dive some usurious bargain,
Some say Tom became q little
crack. Drained in his older days,
and that, fancying his cndapproach-
ing, he had his horse new shod,
saddled and bridled, and buried
with his feet uppermost, because,
that at the last day, the world would
be turned upside down. in which
case he would find his horse ready
to mount, and he was determined
at the worst, to give his Satanic
friend the run for it. This is prob
ably, however, an old wife's fable.
If ne really did take that precau-
ton, it was totally superfuous, at
least, so says the authentic old leg,
end, which closes his story in the
following manner:
One hot afternoon in the dog
