Horace Greeley on Debt.

Among the many good things which
Horace Greeley wrote for the New
York Ledger is the following vivid ar
ticle on the misery OF, being in debit

turn or pay for it when required, and
had betrayed their confidence through
insolvency.
| dwell on this point, for would
deter others from entering that place
OF torment. Half the young men 10
the country, with many old enough to
know better, would ''go into busi-
ness''-that is. into debt--to-morrow
if they could. Most p oor men are SO
ignorant as to envy the merchant or
manufacturer whose life is an inces-
SAINT struggle with pecuniary difficult
ties, who is driven to constant "shin-
ming" and who, from month to month,
barely evades that insolvency which
sooner of later overtakes most men in
business, so that it has been computed
that but one in twenty OF these
achives pecuniary success.
For my own part-and spea k from
sad experieuce-I would rather be a
convict in state prison, a slave in a
rice swamp, than to pass through life
under the harrow OF debt. Let no
young man misjudge himself unfor-

has the fun use OF his limbs and facul-

SAVE YOUR 1877 PENNIES.
They Are 50 Rare That They WIFE
Soon Command a Premium


Few people who handle pennies
every day are aware of the rarity of
the one cent piece Of 1 1877. The coin
age as reported by the mint for that
year, does not appear small, for the
mint year ends June 80, and does not
therefore indicate how many OF acoin-
age bear the calendar year for the
date. Thus the coinage for the year
ending June 80, 1876, included half Of
the year 1876, and the coinage for the
year ending June 80, 1877, comprised
half Of the year 1877.
Business during 1877 was at very
low ebb and little demand existed for.
pennies. Few were minted, therefore,
while in 1875 and 1878 the call was
urgent. 1t is doubtful if the exact
number stamped "1877" is known.
even to the mint officers themselves.
An inquirer was informed by them in.
February: 1878, that less than ten
thousand had been stamped. This
would mean an issue of less than a,
million. In point Of fact, however, it
is probable that the actual coinage
was far less.
A coin collector. began in 1881 rec
ord of the number OF pennies passing
through his hands, and took the per-
centage Of 1877 to the other dates
In 1881 he found the percentage to be.
.OO48, in 1882 it was .OO34,in 1883,
it was .OO32, in 1884 it was oops
The record was abandoned, after that
but from time to time examinations
were made which showed the per cent
age had moved nearer the zero point.
An examination OF a quart OF pen
MES collected this year from slot
machine showed but one of the 1877
date. Unfortunately, the examiner
did not learn how many pennies there
were in the lot, SO the present per
centage cannot be given. g.
In a bankers window on Nassau
street, near Ann, is a frame containing
sixteen Of 1877 date showing that one
man at least has awakened to. their
rarity. One collector who has been
on the lookout since January, 1878,
has secured eighty-four OF this date.
