were joined at the top Of the tree at
regular intervals, were about eleven

How to Calculate Interest and What IL
Will do. -,

+.
The following rules arc SO simple
and so tue according to all business
usage, that every banker, broker,
merchant or clerk should post then,
up for reference. There being nd
such thing as fraction in it, there q
scarcely any liability to error or mis-.
take. By no other arithmetical pro.
cess can the desired information ba
obtained by SO few figures: 4
Six per ent--Multiply any given
n humber Of
days Of interest desired, Separate the
right hand figure and divide by six;
the result is the true interest on such
number Of days at six per cent. Ii
Eight per ccnt-Multiply any given
amount for the number of days upon
which it is desired to ascertain the
interest, and divide by forty-five, and
the result will be the interest Of such
sum for the time required, at eight
per cent.
What it will do. Ifa mechanic or
clerk saves o,ly 81 cents day, from
the time he is twenty -onc until he 10
thrcescore and ten, the aggregate,
with interest. will amount to 81, 900;
and daily saving of973 cents reaches
the important sum cfS59,O00. A six
pence saved daily will provide sum
Of S7,oO0-suflicient to purchase a
good farm. Sitmro
There are few employers who can
not save daily. by abstaining from tho
use of cigars. tobacco, liquor, etc.,
twice or ten times the amount of the
six cent piece. Every person should
provide fer old age, nnd the man in
business who car save dollar dny
will eventually find himself possessed
ofovcr 100000.
