TIE WAY TO BECOME RICH.

Pay cash for everything you buy at
the time Of pun chase. II this rule was
adopted everybody would live happy,
live well, and prosper. Everybody
wishes to buy cheap and sell high.
Nothing can please man more than
to get good round price for what he
has to sell. But supplies and demand
rule these things. The credit system
does more in keeping prices high than
anything else save supply. To. start
out, the man that buys of tho produ.
Ger for cash can buy lower than If he
buys on credit. Then the merchant
buys of the importer for cash, and
saves another item Of cost. Next
the retail from the retailer,
from the wholesaler buys for cash, and
another item is saved. The goods are
retailed to tho people at large, and
the man who sells on time can sell at
ten per cent. less for cash than he could
on credit. Pay cash and you will be
independent. Pay cash and save cash,
and you will not be compelled to pay
high tariffs to other people. Pay cash
and you can buy bargains. Pay cash
and you can hold up your head and
look the world Of mankind In the
face. Pay cash and you will grow
rich.

The Champion sensation preacher OF
Canada appears to be the Rev. Mr.. Nc
Donough,o of Paris, a town on the Great
Western Railway. The latest fulmina-
ton from his pulpit is on the subject
Of dancing. He denounces dancing as
"full of all that is beastly, envious,
murderous, and lustful." He says that
the dancers are sent from hell to France
and thence to Canada via New York
and Chicago. Denouncing the town in
which he lives as a ''small HE'LL" and
the whole Canadian Dominion as "a
hell four million square miles in area, !"
he proceeded to show his congregation
the true nature Of dancing. To this
end he mimicked young man leading
a lady forth to the dance, in a manner
and with expressions by no means COM
plimentary to the delicacy of the femi-
nine portion of his audience. So

4 100000 Bank Mole.

From the National Kepubi!ca'
An extraordinary affair happened
about the year l740. One of the
Directors of the Bank Of England, a
very rich man, had occasion for $780,
900, which he was to pay as the price
of an estate he had just bought. To
facilitate the matter, he carried the
sum with him to the Bank, and
obtained for it a bank.note. On his
return home he was suddenly called
out on q particular business. He
threw the note carelessly on the man.

few minutes afterward to lock it up
it was not to be found. No one had
entered the room he could not, there.
fore, suspect any person. At last,
after much Intellectual search, he was
persuaded that it had fallen from the
mantel. piece into the fire. The Direc.
tor went to acquaint his colleagues
with the misfortune that happened to
him and, as he was known to be a
perfectly honorable man, he was readi-
ly believed. It was only about twenty.
four hours from the time that he had
deposited his money; they thought,
therefore, that it would be hard to
refuse his request for a second note.
He received it upon giving an obi.
CATION to restore the first note If it
should ever be found, or pay the money
himself if it should be presented by
any stranger. About thirty years af'
forwards (the Director having been
long dead, and his heirs in possession
of his f0rtune), an unknown man pre-.
scented the lost note at the Bank and
demanded payment. It was in vain
that they mentioned to this person the
transaction by which that note was
annulled he would not listen to it.
He maintained that it had come to
him from abroad, and insisted upon
immediate payment. The note was
payable to bearer, the 100000 were
paid to him. The heirs of the Direc.
tor would not listen to demands fol-
restitution, and the Bank was obliged
to sustain the loss. 1t was discovered
afterwards that an architect, having
purchased the Directors house, had
taken it down in order to build anoth.
er on the same spot, had found the
note In the crevice of the chimney land
made his discovery an engine for rob
bling the Bank, in which he was com.
pletely successful.
