The rapidity with which money makes money is astonishing to most persons who are not financial experts, says the Tribune-Farmer. Just as constant con-stant dropping will wear away the hardest stone, so constant saving will pile up fortunes. If one will only stop and think, a dollar deposited in a savings bank which pays 4 per cent at compound interest will amount to 52.19 in twenty years. But if a dollar is added to the sum each year at . the end of the same period the sum will be $30.97. Interest grows by . what it feeds on, and the more it feeds the hungrier it becomes. In a century 51 at ff per cent, with interest in-terest added to the principal annually, will increase to 5340. To put the matter a little differently. A man who deposits 55 a week in a savings bank at 4 per cent progressive compound interest, can, after twentv years, draw out 56 a week and still ledve to his wife and children at his death all the money that he deposited and more than half as much more. There is no mystery of speculation about making money this way. The result is certain and the benefit Is financial freedom and independence in old age. Nearly every man of wealth has made his way over the road of small beginnings, and he did not take the road away with him. He has always been keen to avoid the pitfalls offered the investors of small savings. These offers are easily distinguishable. They all have the same appeal, "Get rich quick." The investor is nursed along with big dividends for several months. He does not know that he is simply getting some of his own money back. Such enterprises last only as Ions: as the law delays. The provident man prepares for that financial rainy day that is bound to come to all, and everybody knows that the best way to prepare for it is to have some money on deposit where it can be drawn upon In case an emergency emer-gency arises. The place for this is the savings bank. The savings banks of this country are operated solely for the benefit of the depositors therein. They are not stock companies: they pay no dividends except ex-cept to their depositors; they make no profits for anybody else. The legal restrictions re-strictions are so severe that no officer in a savings bank can reap any advantage advan-tage from his bank's operations. Dermot Astore. By MRS. JULIA CRAWFORD. ' (1800? 1885?) Oh! Dermot Astore! between waking and sleeping I heard thy dear voice, and I wept to its lay; Every pulse of my heart the sweet measure was keeping Till Killarney's wild echoes had borne it away. Oh! tell me, my own love, is this our last meeting? Shall we wander no more in Killarney's Killar-ney's greeti bow'rs, To watch the bright sun o'er the dim hills retreating. And the wild stag at rest in his bed of spring flow'rs? Ah! Dermot Astore! how this fond heart would flutter, When I met thee by night in the shady boreen. And heard thine own voice in a soft whisper utter Those words of endearment, "Ma-vourneen "Ma-vourneen colleen!" I know we must part, but oh! say not forever. That it may be for years adds enough to my pain: But I'll cling to the hope, that though now we must sever. In some blessed hour I shall meet thee again! |
