PRINTING- HUNTINGDON, PA., APRIL 12, 1871 gltv glum' pw,er. John Burns of Gettysburg. BY BEET HASTE. Have you heard the story that gossips tell Of Burns of Gettysburg?—No ! Ah, well ; Brief is the glory that heto earns, Brief r the story of poor John Burns ; He was the fellow won renown,— The only man that didn't back down When the rebels road through his nat ye town But held his own in the fight next day, When all his townfolk ran away, That was in July, sixty-three, The very day that General Lee, Flower of Southern chivalry, Baffled and beaten, backward reeled From a stubborn Meade and a barren field. I might tell how, but the day before, John Burns stood at his cottage door, Looking down the village street, Where, in the shade of his peaceful vine, He heard the low of his gathered kine, And felt their breath with incense sweet ; Or I might say, when the sunset burned The old farm gable, he thought it turned The milk that fell, in a bubbling flood Into the milk-pail, red as blood I Or how he fancied the hum of bees Were bullets buzzing among the trees. But all such fanciful thoughts as these Were strange to a practical man like Burns, Who minded only his own concerns, Troubled no more by fancies fine Than one of his calm eyed, long-tailed kine,- Quite old-fashioned and matter-of-fact, Slow to argue, bat quick to act, That was the reason, as some folks say, He fought so well on that terrible day. I And it was terrible. On the right Raged for hours the heavy fight, Thundered the battery's double bass,— Difficult music for men to face! While on the left—where now the gritves Undulate like the living waves That all that day unceasing swept Up to the pits the rebels kept— Round shot plow'd the upland glades ; Sown with bullets, reaped with blades; Shattered fences here and there Tossed their splinters in the air ; The very trees were stripped and bare; The barnsthat once held yellow grain Were heaped with harvests of the slain ; The cattle bellowed on the plain, The turkeys screamed with might and mai And brooding barn-fowl left their rest With strange shells bursting in each nest. Just where the tide of battle turns, Erect and lone stood old John Burns. How do you think the man was dressed ? He wore an ancient long buff vest, Yellow as saffron,—but his best ; And, buttoned over his manly breast, Was a bright blue coat, with a rolling collar, And large gilt buttons—size of a dollar,— With tails that the country-folk called "swel ler." He wore a broad brimmed, bell-crowned hat, White as the locks on which it sat, Never had such a sight been seen For forty years on the village green, Since old John Brown was a country bean, And went to the "quiltings" long ago. Close at his elbows all that day, Veterans of the Peninsula, Lnnburnt and bearded, charged away; And striplings downy of lip and chin,— . Clerks that the Home Guard mustered in,— Glanced as they passed, at the hat he wore, Then nt the rifle his right hand bore ; And hailed him, from out their youthful lore, With scraps of a slangy repertoire 'How are you, White Hat I"Put her through !' "Your head's level," and "Bully for you !" Called him ('Daddy,"—begged he'd disclose The name of the tailor who made his clothes, And what was the value he set on those; While Burns unmindful of jeer and scoff, Stood there picking the rebels off,— With his long brown rifle, and bell crown hat, And the swallow tails they were laughing at. 'Twas but a moment, for that respect Which clothes all courage their voices checked; And something the wildest could understand Spake in the old man's strong right hand ; And his corded throat, and the lurking frown Of his eyebrows under his old bell-crown ; Until, as they gazed, there crept an awe Through the ranks in whispers, and some men saw', In the antique vestments and long white hair The Past of the Nation in battle there ; And some of the soldiers since declare That the gleam of his old white hat afar, Like the crested plume of the brave Navarre, That day was their oriflamme of war. So raged the battle. You know the rest : How the rebels, beaten and backward pressed, Broke at the final charge, and ran At which John Burns—a practical man— Shouldered his rifle, unbent his brows, And then went back to his bees and cows. That is the story of old John Burns; This is the moral the reader learns; In fighting the battle, the question's whether You'll show a ha; that's white, or a feather! ght to rp-Ztlltr. THE MANAGING WIFE. Ezra Newton had just finished looking over his yearly acramos, asked his wife, looking up, "how do you come out?" "I find," said her husband, "that my expenses during the last year have been thirty-seven cents over a thousand dollars?" "And your income has been a thousand dollars ?" "Yes. I managed pretty wall didn't 'Do you think it managing well to ex ceed your income ?" said his wife. What's thirty-seven cents ?" asked Mr. Newton, lightly. "Not Irina - to be sure, but still some thing. It seems to me that we ought to have saved instead of falling behind." "But how can we save' on this salary, Elizabeth? We haven't lived extravagant. ly. Still it seems to have taken all. "Perhaps there is something in which we might retrench. Suppose you mention some of your items." "The most important are house rent, one hundred and fifty dolLrs. and articles of food, five hundred dollars." • "Just half." "Yes, and you'll admit that we can't re trench there, Elizabeth. I like to live well. I had enough of poor board before I married. Now, I mean to live as well as I can." we ought to be saving up some thing against a rainy day, Ezra." "That would be something like carrying ad umbrella when the sun shines." "Still it is well to have an umbrella in the house." '•I can't controvert your logic, Elizabeth, but I am afraid we shan't be able to save up anything this year. When I get my salary raised, it will be time enough to think of that." • "Let me make a proposition to you," said Mrs. Newton. You say that one half of your income, has been expended on arti cles of food. Are you willing to allow me that•sum for the purpose ?" "You guarantee to pay all bills out of it ?" "Yes." "And relieve me of all care on that point?" "Yes." "Then I will shift the responsibility up on you with pleasure. But I can tell you beforehand you wont be able to save much out of it," "perhaps not. At any rate I will en. gage not to exce ed it." "That's well. I shouldn't relish having any additional bills to pay. As lam paid every month, I will at each payment hand you hale the. money," The different characters of the husband and wife may be judged from the conver sation which has been recorded. Mr. New ton had but little prudence of foresight. He lived chiefly for the present, and seemed to fancy that whatever contingencies might' arise in the future, he would somehow be pro•. ided for. Now trust in Providence is a very proper feeling, but there is a good deal of truth in the old adage that God will help those who help themselves, and in proportion as they are disposed to. help themselves. Mrs. Newton, on the contrary, had been brought up in a family which was com pelled to be economical, and although she was not disposed to deny herself comforts, yet she felt that it was desirable to procure them at a fair price. The time at which this conversation took place was at the commencement of the sec ond year of their married life. The first step which Mrs. Newton took, on accepting the charge of the household expenses, was to institute the practice •of ming cash for all articles that came under her department. She accordingly called on the butcher and inquired : "how often have you been in the habit of presenting your bills, Mr. Williams ?" Once in six months" was the reply. "And I suppose you sometimes hive bad bills ?" "Yts, one-third of my profits on an av erage' are swept off by them." "And you could afford, I suppose to sell somewhat cheaper for ready money ?" "Yes, and would be glad if all my cus tomers would give me a chance to do so." "I will set them an example then," said Mrs. Newton. "Hereafter whatever arti cles shall be purchased of you will be paid for on the spot, and we shall expect you to sell as reasonably as you can. This arrange - menE was also made wah others, who it is scarcely needful to say, were very glad to enter into the arrange ment. Ready money is the great support of trade, and a cash customer is worth two who purchase on credit. Fortunately Mrs. Newton had a small supply of money by her which lasted till the first monthly installment from her hus band became due. Thus she was enabled to carry out her cash plan from the begin ning. Another plan which occurred to her as likely to save expenses, was to purchase articles in large quantities. She had Km saved enough from the money allowed her to do this For example, instead of buy ing sugar a few pounds at a time, she pm chased a barrel, and so succeeded in saving a cent or more on the pound. This, per haps amounted to but a trifle in the courAe of a year, but the same system carried out in regard to other articles yielded a result which was by no means a trifle. There were other ways in which a care ful housekeeper is able to limit expense which Mrs. Newton did not. overlook. With an object in view she was always on the lookout to prevent waste, and to get the full value of what ever was expended. The result was beyond her anticipAtions. At the close of the year, on examining her bank book—fir she had regularly •dc posited whatever money she had not occa sion to use in one of these institutionshe found that she had one hundred and fifty dollars besides reimbursing herself ibr the money during the first month, and having enough to last another. "Well Elizabeth, have you kept within your allowance ?" asked her husband at this thee, "I guess you have net found it so easy to save as you the ught "I have aired something, however." said his wife. "But how is it with you?" 'That is more than I Call say - . Howev er, I have not exceeded my income. That's one goad thing. I find I have' ex actly spent all. But I can't see how yea have saved anything. We have lived full as well, and I don't know but w!lat better than last ycer, when we spent five hum dyed." "It's ktrick, Ezra," 8111 his wif , . Rail. She was not incline.] to mention bow tinich she had aave.i. She. wantei some time . or other to' suprise. him with it when it wou4l be of some service. "She. may possibly have sal-el up twenty-five dollars," thought Mr. New ton, "or some such trigs,' and so dismiss ed the matter from his mind. At the end of the second year, Mrs. Newton's savings, including the interest, amounted to three hundred and fifty dol lars, and she began feel quite rich. Her husband did not think to inquire how she had succeeded, supposing, as be fore, that it could be but a very small sum. However he had a piece of good news to communicate. His salary had been raised from a thousand to twelve hundred dollars. . He added, "As I before allowed you one hale my income for household expenses, it is no more than fair that I should do so now. That will give you a better chance to save up a part of it than before. In deed, I don't know how you succeeded in saving anything thus far. As before Mrs. Newton merely said that she had saved simething without specifying the amount. . _ Hei allowance 'was increased to six hun dred dollars, but her expenses were not proportionally increased at all; so that her savings tor the third year swelled the aggregate sum in the saving's bank to six hundred dollars Mr. Newton, on the contrary, in spite of his increased salary, was no better off at the end of the third year than before. His expenses had increased by a hundred dollars, though he would have found it difficult to tell in what way his com fort or happiness had been increased there by. • In spite of his carelessness in regard to his own affairs, Mr. Newton was an excel lant man in regard to business, and his services were valuable to his employer. They accordingly increased his salary from time to time till it reached sixteen hun dred dollars. He had steadily preserved the custom of assigning one half to his wife fur the same purpose as heretofore, and this had became such a habit that he never thought to inquire whether she found it necessary to employ the whole or not. Thus ten years rolled away. During all this time Mr. Newton lived in the same hired house for which he bad paid an annual rent of one hundred and fifty dollars. Latterly, however, he had become dissatis fied with it. It had passed into the hands of a new landlord, who was not disposed to keep it in the repair which he consid ered desirable. About this time a block of excellent houses were erected by a capitalist, who de signed to sell or let them as he mighthave an opportunity. They were more modern and much better arranged than the one in which Mr. Newton now lived, and he felt a strong desire to move in one of them. He mentioned it to his wife one morning. "What is the rent, Ezra ?" inquired his wife. ' Two hundred and twenty-five dollars for the corner house; two hundred for either of the others." "The corner one would be preferable, on account of the side windows." "Yes, and they have a large yard besides. I think we must hire one of them. I guess I'll engage one to-day; you know our year is out next week." "Please wait Ezra till to-morrow before engaging one." "For what reason." "I should like to examine the house." . "Very well, I suppose to-uur:ow will be sufficiently early." Soon alter b;eakfast Mrs. Newton called on Squire Bent, the owner of the new block, and intimated herdesire to be shown the corner house. The request he readily complied with; Mrs. Newton was quite delighted with all the arrangements, and expressed her satisfaction. "Are these houses for sale or to let ?" she inquired. "Either ," said the owner. "The rent is, I understand, two hundred and twenty dollars.". "Yes, f consider the corner house worth at least twenty-five dollars more than the rest." "And what do you charge for the house to a cash purchaser?" asked Mrs. Newton with subdued eagerness. "Four thousand dollars cash, was the reply; and that is but a small advance upon the cost." "Very well, I will buy it of you ;" ad ded Mrs. Newton, quietly. "What did I understand you to say ?" asked the Squire, scarcely believing his ears. "I repeat that I will buy this house at your price and pay you the money within a week." "Then the house is yours. But your husband said nothing of his intention, and in faq I did not know—" "That he had the money to invest, I suppose you would say. Neither does he know it, and I must ask you not to tell him for the present." The next morning Mrs. Newton invited her husband to take a walk, but without specifying the direction. "They POOll stood in front of the house which he desired to live in." "Wouldn't you like to go in ?" she asked. "Yes. It's a pity we haven't got the key." "I have the key," said his wife, awl forthwith walked up the steps and pro ceeded to open the door. "When did you get the key of Squire Bent ?" asked the husband. "Yesterday when I bought the house," said his wife, quietly. Mr. Newton gazed at his wife iu pro found astonishment. "What on earth do you mean Elizabeth ?" Ile inquired. 4°Just what I say. The house is mine, and what is mine is thine. So the house is yours, Ezra." "Where in the name of goodness did you raise the money ?" asked her husband, his amazement still as great as ever. "I haven't been a manving wife for ten years for nothing," said Mrs. Newton smiling. With some difficulty i♦Mrs. Newton per suaded her husband that the price of the house was teally the result of her savings. He felt when he surveyed the commodious arrangements of the new house, that he had reasons to be grateful for the prudence of his managing wife. priding foe the iflio c. The Wild Men of' California. A correspondent of the Antioch ',edger, writing from Grayson, California, says : saw in your paper, a short time since, an item concerning - the 'gorilla' which is said to have been seen in Crow Canon, and shortly alter in the mountains of Orestimba Creek. You sneered at the idea of there being any such 'critter' in these hills, and were I not better informed I should Sneer too, or else conclude that one a your recent prospecting parties had got lost in the wilderness, and didn't have sense enough to get back to Terry's. I positively assure you that this gorilla, or wild man, or what ever you choose to call it, is no myth. I know that it exists, and that there are at least two of them, having seen them both at once not a year ago. There existence had been reported at times for the past twenty years, and I have heard it said, in early days, an ourang-outang escaped from a ship on the Southern coast : but the creature I have seen isnot thatani mal ; and if it is, where did he get his mete ? Import her us the Web-feet did their wives r "Last fall I was hunting in the moun tains about twenty miles south of here, and camped five or six days in one place, as I have done every season for the past fifteen years. Several times I returned to my camp, after a hunt, and saw that the ashes and charred sticks from the fireplace and been scattered about. An old hunter notices such things, and very soon gets curious to know the cause. Although my bedding and traps and little stores were not disturbed as I could see, I was anxious to learn who or what it was that so regu larly visited my carols—for clearly the half-burnt sticks and cinders could not scatter themselves about. I saw no tracks near the camp, as the hard gonnd, covered with dry leaves, would show none. 6o I started on a circle around the place, and three hundred yards off, in damp sand, I struck the track of a man's feet—as I sup posed—bare and of immense size. Now I was curious, sure, and resolved to lay for the barefooted visitor. I accordingly took a position a hillside, about sixty or seventy feet from the fire, and securely hid in the brush. I waited and watched. Two hours or more I sat and wondered if the owner of the feet would come again, whether hG imagined what an interest he had created in my inquiring mind, and finally what possessed him to be prowling about there with no shoes on. The fire place was on my right, and the spot where I saw the track was oc my left, hid by bushes. "It was that way that my attention was mostly directed, thinking the visitor would appear there, and, besides, it was easier to sit and face that way, Suddenly I was startled by a shrill whistle, such as boys produce with two liners under their . tongue, aud, turning quickly, I ejaculated, 'Good God r as I saw the object of my solicitude standing beside my fire, erect and looking suspiciously around. It was in the immage of a man, but 4 could not have been human. I was never so be numbed with astonishment bpfore. The creature, whatever it was, stood full 'five feet high and disproportionately broad and square at the shoulders, with arms of great length. The legs was very short, and the body was long. The head was small compared with the rest of the crea ture, and appeared to be sit upon his shoulders without a neck. The whole was covered with dark brown and cinnamon colored hair, quite long on some parts, that on the head standing in a shock and growing close down to- the eyes, like a Digger Indian's. While I looked, he threw his head back and whistled again, and then stooped and grasped a stick from the fire. This he swung round and round, until the fire on the end had gone out, when he repeated the manoeuvre. I was dumb, almost, and could only look. Fif teen minutes I sat and watchedhim, as he whistled and scattered my fire about. I could have easily put a bullet through his head, but why should I kill him ? Having amused himself, apparently all he desired, he started to go, and, having gone a short distance, he returned, and was joined by another—a female, unmistakably—when they both turned and walked past me, within twenty yards of where I sat, and disappeared in the brush. I could not have had a better opportunity fbr observ ing them, as they were unconscious of my presence. Their only object in visiting my camp seemed to be to amuse them selves with swinging lighted sticks around. I have heard this story many times since then, and it has often raised an incredu lous smile ; but I have met one person who has seen the mysterious creatures, and a dozen who have come across their tracks at various places between here and Pacheco Pass. Male Dressmakers, The Times says that there are half a dozen dressmaking establishments in New York where 6e sewing upon dresses is al most entirely performed by men, although they are not visible to the ladies who call to give their orders. In the second story are big, bushy-headed Hungarians, Aus trians and Poles, sewing with great rapidi ty on fabrics of many hues and textures. They earn by the piece from $22 to $32 pea week, and as high as $37 by working over time at 25 cents per hour. The cut ter is a man at $25 per week. They vary in age from twenty-five to sixty, and have all served an apprenticeship in their several native countries. In die same establishments are girls em ployad on machines who earn from $9 to $l2 per week. Each bastes his dress and prepares it for fitting; and when fitted, finishes it with rapidity at all points. Two dozen women are often found at work upon a dress, work ing piecemeal at its different parts. Wo men from want of training, arer arely per fect.

"Men dressmakers," men milliners, men in the cook room, men everywhere! Really, women's sphere is getting narrow—too narrow even for old time notions, In the nurseries, we have go-c trts, baby jumpers, and cradles, which being wound up, rock themselves. And when the Celestials come to our aid as kitchen boys and housekeep ers, what then ? There is but one thing left—maternity ; and I verily believe, if it were in the range of possibilities, that men would compass that also masculine privi lege. Everything in the line of woman's labor that can be made to pay, men are crowding themselves into. Still every pub lic journal tells us there are more women than men. A noted French writer says that the world is growing feminine ; and judging from the present peculiar adapta bility of men to feminine employment, we should say that there is more truth than fancy in the assertion. If our progrosasive male members of society are really aspiring to become womanly in their employments, what shall we do ? It is hoped that these "vexed questions" about woman's labor will some day work themselves clear, as also the muddled brains in the community in regard b them.—The Revolution. Some of Dickens' Characters. Mrs. Bardell was a Mrs. Ann Ellis, who kept an eating-bouse near Doctors' Com mons; a blustering Sergeant Buuipus was the original of Sergeant Buzful ; and Mr. Justice Stareleigh was a caricature, by no means extravagant, of Sir Steven Gaselee. Mr. Fang, the truculent Bow street mag istrate in "Oliver Twist," was a faithful portrait of Mr. Laing, a London police magistrate, whose conduct had long been a subject of bitter criticism in the newspa pers. "Oliver Twist" caused his rern,val. Traddles is said to have been Sir T. N. Talfourd; Esther Snmmerson a Miss So phia Iselin, sister-in-law of Moxon, the publisher; and Detective Buckett, the well-known inspector Field, with whom Dickens nude several interesting tours of observation. In 'Dombey and Son" sev eral characters arc said to have been drawn from life. Mr. Dombey is supposed to represent Mr. Thomas Chapman, ship-own er, whose offices were opposite the Wooden Midshipman. As if to make Mr. Chap man undoubtedly identical with Dombey, we have, as messenger of the commercial house of "Dombey and Son," one Perch, actually taken from a funny little old chap named Stephen Hale, who•was part clerk, part messenger, in Mr. Chapman's office. Old Sol Gills was intended fur a little fel low named Norio, who kept a very small shop in Leadenhall street, exactly opposite the office of John Chapman & Co, Cap tain Cuttle was one David Mainland, mas ter of a merchantman. TASTE NoT.—Drunk ! Young man, did you ever stop to think how terrible that word sounds ? Did you ever think what misery you brought upon your friends when you degraded your manhood by getting drunk. Drunk ! How the word rings in the ear of a loving wife. How it makes the heart of a mother bleed. How it crushes the hopes of a father, and brings shame and reproach upon sisters. Drunk ! See him how he leans against the corner of a friendly house. He stands ready to fall into the jaws of hell, unconscious as to his approaching fate. The wife, with aching heart sits at the window to hear her husband's foot steps—but they come not. He is drunk ! he it spending the means of support for liquor while his family is starv ing for bread, his children ibr clothing. Drunk ! His reputation is going, gone ! His friends, one by one, are leaving him to his fate.

The Cincinnati Times truly remarks • That man makes a big mistake who sup poses his personal affairs take' up. any great portion of public attention. He is assail ed in the newspaper, for instance. He reads it in the morning in a high state of excitement. He can't eat his breakfast in consequence. He imagines the public equally excited about it, and hasn't the least doubt but what the public is . going without its breakfast as well ache. When he goes down town he is morally certain everybody in the street car is thinking about that newspaper attack, if not talking about it. He meets people on the street. He feels they are thinking about that article, and the blood motulta to his temples every time a man looks at him. He daren't look around him when he passes a group of men, for he knows that they are pointing him out and per haps laughing at him. He wonders when he thinks of it, that his wife- and 'children ii i dn't call in the neighbors and publicly scard him before he left his house. Presently he meets an old - friend. To his surprise his friend greets him cordial ly and wakes no allusions whatever to the subject uppermost in his mind. At length he &kers forth : "Did—did you—did you see it ?" "See what!" says his friend with a puz zled air. "Why that—that article on me • in the paper ?" "On you ?--in the paper?—oh yes, (suddenly recollecting), I did see it. That is, I glanced over it. Fact is I had for gotten all about it." . Glanced over it! Forgotten all about it! Great heavens can this be . possible? So thinks the the Victim of the terrible newspaper outrage. And then if he has any sense, it may creep through his hair that perhaps the public at large don't Tiel that consuming interest in his affairs h 3 thought they did. People are too ranch engrossed in their annoyance and troubles to give much heed to those of their neighbors. Out of ten thousand readers of a daily paper eight thousand would prebably over look the item entirely, cne thousand.might read the heading, five hundred gjance over it, four hundred and eighty read it through and forget it the next minute, nine think about it once during the day on seeing the subject of the article, and one (the subject) get cutrageously mad, helieving the eyes of the world are inextinguisha bly fixed upon hipi for the remainder of his life. It is very hard to make men believe this, though. We have recently had an ' illustration of the way in Which an indi vidual sometimes makei himself publicly notorious in attempting to "set . himself right" before the public when few beside himself knew he had, been set wrong, al lowing that he had been. A newspaper paragraph appears re , garding some, person whose name is kept iu the background, audit is forgotten by every one as soon as read, except some man who insists on wearing the coat. We will call him John Smith. John feels immediately impelled to publish a card over his own name, cal ling attention to the paragraph, declailng he is the individual meant, and "it's no such thing." That is the first the gener al public know such a paragraph had been published, that there is a man by the name of John Smith in the city, or that he was the man indicated. Some people might save themselves a heap of trouble by discarding the :idea that the public ara overseeing their little personal affairs to an absorbing extent. Co-operative Building. It is announced that a building associr.- tion, with a capital of $40,900, has been incorporated in West Flushing, to aid men in moderate eironmstances to build houses. We are not aware of the particular plan which this association proposes to pursue. It is, however, a matter of surprise than more co-operative building enterprises have not been undertaken in New-Rork and other cities. Those in . Philadelphia have proved highly • snecessfu4_ and cotifered homes upon•vast numbers of families who otherwise might never have been able to sit under their own vine and fig-tree. So popular are those building associations in the Quaker City that forty or fifty new ones are projected every year. Individu als desirous of forming one must draw up a constitution in accordance with the law and submit it to the court. If this con stitution is favorably passed _upon, they can proceed at once to work. One pro viso stipulates that no association shall issue more than 3500 shares, and no mem ber can purchase more than.'fifty shares. The design of this is to keep thee manage ment of the association out of . the hands of speculators. The tax upon each, share is one dollar a year. Each share entitles the bolder to draw two hundred dollars from the association ibr buildine'purpo ses on givinc , a mortgage. If, for exam ple, a member has ten shares, he can draw out two thousand dollars. but no more. Associations are required to hold: month ly meetings and pay their tax when due. If an association has disposed Of, say two thousand shares, two thousand dollars will be paid into the treasury each meeting. After the preliminary business has been transacted, this purse is put up and sold to the highest bidder. There are two methods of doing this, the old and the new. In accordance with the former; the members bid what amount they are willing to leave in the treasury of the, whole sum. One bids ten per cent; a second fitteen per oent.; a third, twenty per neil.p, t and so on. If the purse is struck off to the twenty per cent. bidder, he is entitled (provided he owns ten shares in the asso ciation) to receive from the treasurer:the two thousand dollars, minus twenty per cent. He gives a first or second. mort gage on the building which he buys or builds as security for the sixteen hundred dollars, and pays to the association six per cent. interest on the entire two thousand dollars; at the sauce time he keeps Up'the monthly dues on his ten shares. Wileu the settlement is finally made, the amount of those dues paid in, together with his share of the revenues df the society deriv ed from fines, good investments, etc.,are added to his payments. If the agerigate sum equals the amount' of indebtedness, his mortgage is restored, and his account cancelled ' . By the new mode of disposing of purses, the members offer to pay so much per month on the sum loaned from the association. IP the . parse be two thousand dollars, and it is iffnek brat five per cent. everymonth of. the - :amount borrowed. By means of such asnoutations, poor men are enabled to build homes on small incomes, and Philadelphia and the surrounding country are totted all over with their homes.
