THOM ASTON. GA.. SATURDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 3, 1*77
Put Money in ’i'liiy Ftirse.
REV. MR. GALLAIIER’s ADVICE TO
PERSONS ANXIOUS To GROW
RICH.
Rev. IJ. M. Gal la her, appearing
under the auspices of the General
Society of Mechanics and Trades
men, delivered a lecture, entitled
“Put Money in Thy Purse,” before
a largo audience at Steinway hall,
last night. He said that men fight
for money to get rid of being poor.
Poverty is infamous, and the man
without funds is like unto a trav
eler in a foreign land who lias lost
his pastport; he has no creden
tials—no status. However good,
high-minded and otherwise respec
table, no man is successful until he
puts money in his purse.
“You may ask,” said the lectu
rer, “why I have not taken my
own advice, and set you the exam
ple by getting rich instead of com
ing to tell you how. The accumu
lation of earthly goods is not the
mission of a minister of the gospel.
Why, if a minister were to die as
rich as Vanderbilt lie would not
go to heaven.
“Of the way to get rich,” he said,
j “one must do it any way he can,
with a willingness like that of the
old maid who in praying for a iius
band agonizingly supplicated, any
body , Lord, any body.”
“The one unfailing law of mon
ey-getting is that the seeker set his
heart on it, for money is like a wo
man—made for the man who loves
it ; but unlike a woman in that it
requires the undivided a flection of
the man who loves it. An auxilia
ry rule is, rise early and work late,
live on what you can’t save, and
give nothing away, and you will
die rich. Further advice was to
the effect that one should never
lend money to a poor man.
ace Greely said that of the thou
sands he lent the most he ever re
ceived back was a five-dollar note
inclosed in a letter, and upon trac.>
ing out the writer of the letter he
found it came from a lunatic in the
Utica assylum who never owed him
a cent.
“Moreover, never give anything
in charity; it decreases yonr tn
come and encourages mendacity.
If you happen at church when a
collection is taken, give a penny
lor the sake of appearances, for
pennies were made for church col
lections. If possible, never pay
any debts. Thousands have made
fortunes by obeying this rule, and
it seems to be a very successful as
well as fashionable way of making
a fortune. Never have any poor
relations. If you have a poor pa
rent, report yourself an orphan ; if
poor brothers and sisters, as an on*
ly child. The benefits of riches arc
numerous. You have friends, very
earnest ones, while your riches
last ; and if you can’t buy friends
and love, take a gold piece from
your pocket -there is a woman’s
figure on one side—and you may
truly write beneath it in true lover
like language, ‘I am yours, every
inch of me. If you have money
you have immunity from the pen
alty of the law, the law being like
a high*priced hotel—open to all
who can afford it. The greatest
thing to be seen in America is not
its wonderful natural scenery, lint
a man capable of making money.
All the genius of a Swift or the di
vine light of a Dante cannot keep
the possessor from poverty and
want or make him respectable.
And why have education if you
have money, since, as they say in
Washington, you can get one of
those ‘literary fellows’ to write your
letters and speeches ? 1 here is
one man representing tho United
States abroad who did not know
enough to mix a seidlitz powder,
but took the two powders one af
ter the other dry, and thus came
very near never going anywhere
on earth. But his money took
him across the sea when he did
not have sense enough to cross a
horse-pond. Young people, be
advised to marry wealthy, other
wise they would be saddled with
a troop of poor relations and such
a mother in law. The American
Trinity wa.-, it had been said, ac
cording to a creed beginning, T
believe in the gold eagle, the silver
dollar and the copper cent.’
“But this world is not for rich
men alone, and the othei, perhaps,
is not for them at all, but for those
who have failed in this world and
died poor in purse.” In closing,
the lecturer said, fearing evidently
that some might swallow his words
as he had uttered them, and with
out comprehending his spirit, he
hoped his advice would be taken
like that of the physician who rec
commended the man who had swal
lowed a mouse to swallow a cat al
so, at which allusion the audience
indulged in laughter for the one
hundreth time, and then dispersed.

Now, then, gentlemen, pay at

untamed giant of the Mis.-is*ippi
\ alley is just stepping into the
ring, only half as old as any man
twice his age, and weighs six turn
ounces to the pound :r tm his .shoul

and genuine young giant of the
Mississippi Valley now on exhibi
tion in this country, all t thers be
ing imposters and frauds. Meas
ures five feet and ten indies from
the sole of his foot to a total height
of eleven feet eight inche-, and ha
il voice like the conch-shell. Born
in the land of Menditty, where there
is neither house, town nor eitv;
where they dig potatoes with their
toe-nails; warranted not to rip,
ravel or run down at the heel, balk
in the eye or cut in the stop, and
secured at a great expense for pos

And the -mall sum of one dime
passes vou in to see tais wonderful
masterpiece of nature’s journe\ r a

A report to the effect that Colo
nel 11. S, Oleottcarried the remains
of the late Baron De Palin in a
snuff-box which he kept in his ve.it
having gained general credence, a
world reporter was true.
“Not wholly,” said Colonel Ol
cott.
“Not wholly 9” cm re
porter, inquiringly.
“That is, not all or* them,” re
plied the Colonel.
‘,Have you it with you'/” asked
the reporter.
“Ah” said tho accomplished
President of the Theosophical So
ciety. “Fear not. There is no
danger. No ghost can be develo
ped from such a quantity of ashes.
Perhaps a finger, an ear or a nose
that is all. Such a ghost would b
a promiscuous one—a finger here
a loot there, a nose in this place
and a leg in that. Look.”
Here Colonel Oleott produced
from his vest pocket a silver snuff
box of fine workmanship, and plac
ing it upon the table before him,
stood up and repeated a manaronie
prayer, partly in Egyptian. Then
he began a strange though graceful
dance, and low, sweet music seemed
to issue from the snuff-fiox, an I
presently the lid flew open with a
click. The Colonel then resumed
his natural condition and sat down.
“Now, said he rubbing the ashes
tenderly between his fingers, these
are what 1 call first-class ashes.
iSee how white they are. See how
finely pulverized. Did you over
clean your teeth—”
“Certainly,” exclaimed the re
porter, somewhat indignantly ; I
always”—
“I beg your pardon,” said Colonel
Oleott “You interrupted me. I
was about to ask if you ever clean
ed your teeth with cigar ashes?”
“Occasionally,” said the reporter
mollified, “and they work splen
didly.”
„Then, sir,” said the Colonel,
think how these would work.—
Talk of magic Bah ! Why, sir, I
could just make my fortune by cre
mating bodies to use for tooth pow
der”
laono: dile Employment..
There is nothing derogatory in
any employment which ministers
to the well-being of the race. The
plowman that turns the sod may be
a brother to the clod he turns. It
is every way creditable to handle
the yard stick, and to measure tape
the only discredit consists in hav
ing a soul whose range of thauglit
is as short as the stick and as nar
row as the tape. There is no glo
in the act of affixing a signature by
which treasures of commerce are
transferred, or treaties between na
tions ratified ; the glory consists of
the rectitude of the purpose that ap
proves the one, and the grandeur
of the philanthropy that sanctifies
the other. The time is soon com
ing when by the common consent of
mankind it will lie esteemed more
honorable to have been John Pound
putting new and beautiful souls
into the ragged children of the
neighborhood, while iie in aided
their fathers’ shoes than t > have
been set on a throne.

to fatho a the my-iery and decipher

lowing by offering a reward for the
solution; and agrees t- ask no ques
tions :
it is with a pain ail and humilia
ting sense of our limitations that
we quote this astonishing word.—
All at once, as if it lul l escaped
and rained down out of some over
charged lexicographic thunder
cloud, plentiful as small frogs after
a warm shower, our American ex- i
changes are full of it. Whore did 1
it come from and what docs it mean
Everything is “bulldoze,” or “lmd
doziug” or “bulldozed !” Shades of i
Sam Johnson the Immortal, Noah
\\ ebster, i-L.D. ; \\ aiker, Stor
month and company help us ! Our
hrain feels giddy ! Some mesme
ric power seems about to undo us 1
A t-rriblc monster, with awful
horns and a bellowing voice seems
about to roar and gore us, while
drowsiness shaid.. us down ! A
nightmare terrible, with spectres
grim, haunts our bewildered mind !
Experience has made us familiar
with that noble animal, the bull,
I'or many reasons, as Mark Twain
said about his baby, we “respect”
him. \\ e know that Dame Europe
was borne on his broad back once
on a time, and that his sendee ever
since that celebrated event have
been highly i m po; tant. We have
nothing against him, and if ho will
stay away from us, wo will be the
best of abtent friends. As for doz
may the good Lord help us to tell
the truth and bear with fate ! No
soothing syrup or mandragnric opi
ate is required to induce that blissful
condition. We claim to know all
about it. It is *s natural to us as
breathing. It is our normal slate.
But why 1,1.11 should bo hyphened
with doze, or how they ever came
to bj in that hymenial relation, or
what they mean when thus united
or who was first guilty of such a
crime, or what the w''*oa i/uui
mg to, are questions that bring us
to the limits of our reasoning powers
and leave us there, co.nfronling
the “abysmal unknown,” as Crlyle
would say and ready to question
the goodness and wisdom of that
Being who permits such a wicked
world to go gaily on in its mad ca
reer.
Here is an extract from a poor
clergyman’s letter which was never
intended for the light, but which
shows that the times are hard and
a contented mind is better than
great riches. Lie says :—“My gar
den gave me three bushels of beans,
thirty bushels of potatoes and hay
enough for my cow this winter, and
a farmer gave me wood if I would
cut it. So, with beaus, potatoes,
milk and a tire, I am enjoying ie
-1 igion and determined not (o get in
debt at the grocer’s.” If some of
the rest of us had nothing but
beans and potatoes and milk we
should hardly feel like giving
thanks or singing songs.
i'llK Journal of Commerce has
been investigating the length of
time it takes to transmit a message
over the Atlantic cable. The first
signal is felt in four tenths of a sec
ond ; As many as seventeen words
have been sent over the Atlantic
cable in one minute. Fifteen can
eisilv be sent under pressure ; and
twelve words a minute is a good
working rate. A fact not yet ex
plained by the scientists is that the
electricity does not move so rapidly
from New York to London as in
the opposite direction.
France has tinder consideration
too passage ot a law compelling the
land owners and tenants to wage
systematic warfare upon insects
obnoxious to vegetation. As ear
lv as 1 1 32 an edict in that country
commanded all farmers to destroy'
the caterpillars on their lands un
der a penalty of 50 livres. The
law was renewed in 1777, and
again in 1787. A law passed in
1790 is still in evistence, but prac
tically null, hence the agitation of a
new statute on the subject.
A New York school master told
a young miss that the word “obli
gatory, meant binding, whereupon
she laid her head upon her hand,
and after a moments cogitation
handed the tcachcrthis sentence ;
“The obligatory of my spelling
book is worn out.” He fainted.
Commercial intercourse between
