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.—

" 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

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

" 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."

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
