There are probably few, however
familiar with the subject Of the rapid
increase of capital put at interest,
who would not be startled at the
statement that the cost of the outfit
Of Christopher Columbus in his first
voyage of discovery, put at interest at
six per cent, would by this time have
amounted to more than the entire
n,oney value Of this Continent, to-
qetAer aCith tie accunluloti0as from
the industry Of all who hare Iiced
upon it. If any doubt this, let them
reckon the amount, estimating the
entire outfit to have cost only the
small sum of FIVE thousand dollars, and
remembering that money doubles at
six per cent. iu a little less than
twelve years-or accurately, in eleven
wears, ten months, and twenty-one
DAYS. Allowing it to double every
twelve years: this FIVE thousand dollars
at interest at six per cent. since 1892,
it will be found, would have amounted
to s17,S95,700, 100000; which csti-
mating the population OF the entire
continent of America (North and
South to be eighty-ige millions, or
seventeen million families (ayeragipg
FIVE members sach) would give more
than a million dollars aS the possession
Of every one these. The interest
upon million dollars at six per cent:
is sixty thousand dollars, which would
now be the prineely annual income OF

lies, fsom the aecumulations up 70 this

named for the outfit Of ti4s discovery.

death of that venerable and beloved
minister, the Rev. Nicholas Talley'

His last sermon was preached on Sun
