Poor Richard's Reasons "Raying 13 S. Securities The otherday we heal da rich netl hor say he had rather have railroad stocks than the L. S. stocks. for they paid higher interest. Just then Poor Richard came up, and said that he had just bought seine of Uncle Sam's three years notes paying seven a nil three-tenths per cent. interest. My rielt friend ex claimed, ;' You I thought you had no money to buy with." '• Ye , ," said Rich ard, •• I had a little laid up, fur you know it is well to have somethieg laid up _against, a wet clay, and have kept a ht tle of my earnings 14 me." Now Poor Richard it kit OWII to all the country round to be a very prudent, and indus trious, and withal. wise man; for Richard nevm learned anything lie didn't know how to make use of, and his trisdom null Prudence had become a prey,n-b. So, when he took out. his savings and bought the notes, more than one was surprised, and it was no wonder Mr. Smith asked why. So Pour Ilichard, in a very - tittiet humble way—for lie never assumed anything—replied, "I ,suppose,Mr.Smith you know a great deal better than I do what to do with numey and how to in vest ; for I never lied much,and all I got I had to work for. But I have looked round a good deal upon my neighbors, and seen what they did with their money and I will tell you seine things I saw and what [ thought of it. One very rich man was always dealing in money, and he made a great deal, but was never satisfied without high interest. So lie lent most I,f. his money to some people who he thought were very rich, at 0 high rate ; and he often told how much he got, till oue day the people he lent to, went to smash He got hack about ten cents on a dollar of his money. 1 knew another old gentleman, who lied some bank stock and he went to the bank and got tea per cent. av'tdena. 'She Yrcni lout and even body said it was the best . ...stock in the country—paid ten per cent. But what ...id the old man do but sell his.stoek, the next day I Why? why ? said 'everybody. Because, it pays too lunch dividend.— And in six months the batik went to smash. Now, that I . know to be a fact. Well, Mr. Smith, you say railroad stocks are best,because. the:) , pay high dividends? Can you tell how long they will pay them? I like railroads. I helped to build one, and Igo in for useful things. But 1 tell , you what I know about them. One-third of the railroads don't pay any dividend. and two-thirds (and some of them creek- ed tip, ton,) do not pay as much as Gov ernment stocks. Now that brings me to the Government seenritiez.,and I will tell you why f prefer them. I take it you will adroit, Mr. Smith. that in the lung run the investment which is be,t shonld have these qualities : Pir,t, it should be perfectly secure ; secondly. th a t th e in come should be unillmin and permanent —not lip one year iiil down the next: and thirdly.that it sh,,uld he marketable, ion when your \Net day comes, and you want your money y.,ii van !elf:L.— And I think the r notes or hoods I aye got Iltese I inxlitic- won , Ilion :t11‘" 41i Ito! kind, ci ur.,perty you iNtit TI'V It. " Ptr,i, then, I have berm lookin,tt into that great book 3-rm rail the Censm.: Sta tholes. T. med I i think it wa , n't worth nitwit ; but I began to it. 3 tell you 1 ro:ad mitt a r urnl many thing, very tv.e.ful for me to know. I found out by looking at the rrop-;, and the factories and shippitez, thatwr( I loot mean the Rebel Smte-, uto inakim4 , a th , lllNand Million.; of dollars a year more than we spend. Su you Pee that (shace the in crease or debt isn't half that), we are growing licit instead of poorer, John Bull and the croakers wGuld have us think. Then the debt will Le paid, any haw, no matter how lom 4 the war is.— Besideq, did you over hear of a govern ment that broke before the people did ? Look into your big histories. Mr. Smith, and you will find the people break beflne the Government,. Well. then. I rill that stack perfectly , e( tire. .. •IA Mit the 1111 form aul 1.,1 n.ancta .

"Thirdly, yon want something huntarketable any day in the year. Nov. if you Will . ask any Lank Prerident. LP will tell you that Government stocks are the only kind of property that is always salable, because they will sell anywhere in the world. " Now, Mr.:Smith, this is why I put my little rings in Government stocks. I confess, too, that I wanted to help that dear old country, which is my home and my country." "I confess," said Mr. Smith, "I hadn't though. of all this— There is a good deal of sense in what you say, and I will go so far as to put two or three thousands dollars in United States stocks. It can to no harm." We left 31r. Smith going towards the bank, and Poor ItieharJ returning home, with that calm and placid air which,oin dicated the; tierettity of his aisposition and the consniou,ne , :s of doing right to wards his country and his fellow Bleu. A Terrible Scene A man named MtComi was under sen tence of death in Ottumwa et,unty, lowa. Cur the murder of a. nirl named Laura 'Harvey, and thz day of cxeeutiun fixed. The condemned. however, got an appeal to the Supreme Court, but on the day he was to have been banged some two thous and people gathered at tho jail, and avowed a determination to hang the pris oner. A unman mounted the fence and made an exciting harangue urging on the umb, and saying if' they would leave it to the women they would attend to it them selves. A vote was taken,which was ge e:Jed i 0 fitvor or the hanging. A rush was now made for the jail, which W:l5 fbrced,aud the prisoner taken out, lie asked fur an hour, which was girt 0 him to inepare for death. A. cler gyman was sought and h was finally re ceived into the Catholic Churchand bap tized. After this he was Owed in a wa:rou aucl started fur execution. The rope was fixed and they were about to throw it over the limb of a tree, the prisoner assisting. Before this was done, McComb requested permission to utsle a few remarks. Ile said : "I have the repo around my neck as you see, and have but a few minutes to live, but lam an innocent man. If you will give me-nutil next court,T will prove that George Lawrence is living, and that 1 did not murder Laura llarvey." At this point a cry was raised through the crowd, " take him back," " take him back," accompanied by the cry of "hang him," " hang him." The lenders fearing that the tide was turning, said that it was getting late and, they could wait no longer. An attempt was made. to throw the tupe to cr - the Umb, but several resolute men jumped into the waggon and seized the rope. A short struggle for the plssessiun of the rope ihl l..wed, when the rope was cut, McComb hustled out of that waggon and placed into another, (irk en rapidly to town, and lodged safely in his old rptarters again. A Wonderful Medium In the spiritual circles of New York, there is getting to be quite an excitement over a new medium of a somewhat extra ordinary character. No one knows where the modern enchantress comes from, or how she acquired her art. But all devout believers say you may take a lock of any one's hair and lay it on her magic table, and forthwith the diviner of future events proceeds to give a detailed history of the life of the person from whose bead the hair in question was lopped, and to mark out their future career. She had alinost reached the zenith of her mysterious fitme , when a young lady, who was about to be married, took a lock of silken hair and laid it on the enebauted slab of mar ble. Instantly the prophetess comm e nced to give details of the lire of some young girl Who, she said, had long since passed away. The young lady protested that, it Nvaq the hair or her intended husband.. but the seer persisted in h er story, and intimated that the your: man wore a wig. The thir inquirer departed in high dun geon. hot resolreti to put the matter to the test the same oveninw. So when her admir. , r arrived. :Am acc;dentallymve hi hair a delicate little pull, whereon all the silken curls emit(' leaving the pour; man's head rerree.ly b Disa- Ltrcealtle as the diseovery may have been. it served to establish the fame of the won derful medium, who reigns supreme over a whole room-full of ••locks," and is the great sensation of the day among all the lovers of spiritual marvels. While Gen. Grant was walkin:7 around the docks at City Point about a week ago, he stopped to see some negroes roll a barrel of bacon on board of a boat. The negroes were unable t) move it. when a crusty lieutenant, who stood near, dressed iu his fine blue clothes, shouted: —You .l—d niggers. push harder or go get an_ other man to help you. — without saying a word, lit)ner.il Grant pulled up his h eve:: and Lulls l the negr..e: t roll the barrel on the boat; then he drew his silk handkerchief front his pocket, and. wi ping his hands. moved quiekly away. You may imagine how thi- , Lieutenant felt when he was told that the stevedore was to 1e•.% than the Comman der-in-Chief of the United States armies.
