Jack Sidmo.’e, once an inveteiitlal
drunkard, was very suddenly wmfutfMg
from the error of his ways, and becamaf
-n eu::;i»t advi.cate of the tenspcranoo
cause. To a large audience, ot a port
and peniteuts, assembled in a country
school house in the wilds of Missouri* lj»
related the cause of his information ‘‘thu*?
ly”:
While crossing the prairies, ho had
given himself up to free indulgence of*
liis propensity, having an abundant sup
ply of tho elixir vitae. AUer stowing
away a largo cargo, with a heavy load ou
deck—to use his own expressions—h*
strolled away from tho train, and the oily
fluid beginning to course rapidly through
bis veins, finding navigation somewhat
difficult, he concluded to lie down and
enjoy ‘‘forty winks.” The sun was
broiling hot and no shade, but the sooth
ing syrup soon rendered him blissfully ig
norant of any external discomforts. It
ivus enrly in the forenoon when he had
lain down ; about dusk when ho was rous
ed to a state of semiconscionsness by, as
he supposed, tho angels flapping their
wings in his face. As rfason began to
resume her sway, h? found himself sur
rounded by a flock of buzzards, who bad
already made frequent dives for a morsel
of as they thought, their legitimate prey,
“Brethren,’’said he—“hie —l raised up
—lnc—and threw out my—hie—hands
to the—hii—buzzards, and I said—hia
—‘Go way buzzards, you’re lectle prema
ture. I ain’t dead yer.” The train bad
gone on, after a vain search for me, it
having proceeded along distance from
where I had left it before I was missed,
1 had a tramp alone for two hundred miles,
without any stimulus, suffciing the for
njeut of the and 1). Take warning,
brethren • enroll yourselves in the cold
water aruiv; drink nothing but the pure
liquid from the limpid sire»m tho only
beverage natuio ever intended for mao.
The Cost of Dying.—High as is
the cost of living in New York, it seems
to be still more to die. The Post, of
that city, thus gives tho undertaker's
bill;
To lay out the corpse, 810; icing tho
same, §l2 ; shroud. 820; rosewood ooflio,
8100 ; plate, §2O ; flowers, S3O ; pine box,
$1; three porte rs, $5; bea-se, sls ; tea
carriages, S7O ; eight scarfs to pall-bear
ers, $55 ; gloves S2O; sexton’s fee. §lo—
—a totul-of expenses before you
cutne to the cetnetry of $382.
Nothing less than four lots will answer,
and if a showy monument or vault is erec
ted, eight or ten are requind. From
one to five thousand dolluta urc
upon (he plat, and from ten to twenty
thousand upon the monument. This
may all be well enough fur families of for
tune. • '
When tho undertaker has made all
his deductions, and studied the closet
eccnomey that breaved affection will ad
mit, it is still hard to meet these items :
Lating oit corpse $5, coffin, (black
walnut.) $25 ; plate, $7 ;box, $1; shroud,
85 ; flowers, $5 ; throe porters, 85: fiva
carriages and hearse, S4O; sexton’s at
tendance, $5. Total,slol.
The poor, therefore, are in a very bad
condition, for both living and dying arc
beyond their pecuniary means,
Quotations of Gold-
The quotations of gold as given in the
money articles of daily papers convoy uo
fixed idea to the common mind ; the in
formation needed by the generality of tl a
people is, what is a paper dollar worth?
Wo have been furnished with the follow
ing, which those who care to do so caQ
cut out for rdfeicnee;
Wlicu gold is quoted at $1 10, a paper
dollar is worth 91 cents nearly.
