How Interest Eats.

One Of the causes OF Bankruptcy is
that so few persons properly estimate the
difference between high and q low rate
Of interest, and therefore often borrow
money at ruinous rate that no legiti-
mate business can stand. Very few have
figured the difference between six and
eight per cent. One dollar loaned for
one hundred years at six per cent, with
the interest collected annually and ad-
ded to the principal, will amount to
$40. At eight per cent 1t amounts to
S2,20S, or nearly seven times as much.
Atthree per cent, the usual rate Of int.
rest in England, It amounts to Sl9.25,
whereas, at ten per cent, which has been
very common rate In the United States,
il Is Sl3,SO9. or about seven hundred
times AZ much. At twelve per cent 1t
amounts to $s4,07S, or more than four
thousand times as much. At eighteen
per cent It amounts to $l5, 145, 009. AT
iwenty-four per cent (Which we some
times hear talked of it reaches the enor-
NOUS sum Of S2,55l, 700, 404.
One hundred dollars borrowed at six
per cent, with the interest compounded
annually, will amount to Sl,S42 in fifty
years, while the same 500 borrowed at
eight per cent will amount to 1890 in
ffty years. one thousand dollars, at ten
per cent, compounded, will run up to
Sll7S9O in fitty years.

MARRIED IN PuN.-one Of those smart
young women who marry Just for fun has
got herself into trouble at franklin, Pa.
She has also got herself in Jail. Miss
Carrie Smith last October married Mr..
Joseph Stock justi in fun, and iine sport II
was, no doubt. Last week, however, Miss
Carrie married Mr.. Phil. Loyeridge, Of
Pittsburg, in downright earnest, and they
had but fairly started on their bridal trip
when Stock turned up and had the lady
arrested on charge Of bigamy, and her
new husband was taken into custody for
unlawful treatment OF the seventh COM

FACTS.

People are no longer content with guess
work and conjecture. They demand the
facts. Formerly, II the skilled and aged
mariner stated that there were ten fathoms
OF water below the craft, all accepted 1t as
true, while now each person wants to throw
the line over, and see for himself what the
plummet tells. The Family Medicines man
ufactured by R. V. Pierce, n. D., Buffalo
N. Y, have been thoroughly tested for
many years by the afflicted, and found to
possess the merit claimed for them. His
Compound Extract OF Smart.Weed is un'
surpassed in curing dysentery (bloody.aux,
and cholera morbus, while many physicians
prescribe It for the relief and cure OF the
painful Irregularities peculiar to women;
His Favorite Prescription is the best tonic
aud nervine known, and Is endorsed by the
first ladies OF the land. In reading the
testimonials Of those cured by DR.. Plerce's
Golden Medical Discovery some wonder
how one can cure so many diseases. Sup
pose the foot be injured, and you become
sick at the stomaeh dizzy.headed and faint,
do you fancy yourself attacked with three
or four different disea' es? And would II
not be IN insane physician that neglected
the foot and administered TO the stomach
or head9 SO, catarrh, bronchitis, consump.
ton, scrofulous sores, ulcers. blotohes, PIN
pies, and eruptions, are universally DEEPEN
dent upon, and caused by, impure blood,
and can only be cured when II Is corrected.
Is It not, therefore, plain to see why the
Golden Medical Discovery, which is the
standard blood.purifer, Alternative and tonic
medicine In the market effects the speedy
cure Of so wide a range Of diseases!

from January l, 1877, to January l, 1878,
