for the privilege of visiting it, and he had then insulted you, there
might be some reason in your resenting it, but in this instance he is
the man who pays, while we receive, and you must, therefore, put up with
his bad manners
‘Exactly,’ I replied, ‘and if he owned the Museum, and you had paid him
for the privilege of visiting it, and he had then insulted you, there
might be some reason in your resenting it, but in this instance he is
the man who pays, while we receive, and you must, therefore, put up with
his bad manners.’

transfer of 2 1/2 per cent
Payment for an annuity is made by the
transfer of 2 1/2 per cent. Consols, or money of equi-
valent value, at the price of the stock on the day
of the transaction.

The tables (see p.44) show the annuity which
100 of 2 1/2 per cent. stock will purchase, to con-
tinue during the life of a nominee at the re-
spective ages and according to the prices of 2 1/2
per cent. stock therein stated. It will be seen
that in the case of money being paid for the
purchase of the annuity, the higher the price of
Consols the dearer will be the purchase. Thus,
a female buying an annuity at the age of fifty,
amounting to 5 19s. 8d. per annum, and Consols
being at _par_, or 100, would, if she paid for it
_in money_, have to expend 100. But suppose
Consols to be at 108 (as they are at present) she
would have to pay 108 for the same annuity.

that withholdeth more than meet, but it tendeth to poverty
Solomon says: ‘There is that scattereth and yet increaseth; and there is
that withholdeth more than meet, but it tendeth to poverty.’ Of course
the only true charity is that which is from the heart.

carried through by means of the usual accompaniments
So far it was only a case of a thoroughly speculative transaction
carried through by means of the usual accompaniments. A defaulting State
believed to be possessed of great potential wealth, thought, or was
induced to think, that by building a railway it could tap that wealth.
The whole thing was a pure possibility. If the loan had been
successfully placed at the issue price it would have sufficed to build
the first section (fifty-three miles) of railway, and to leave something
over for work in the mahogany forests. It is barely possible that in
time the railway might have enabled the Government to produce enough
stuff out of its forests to meet the charges of the loan. But the
possibility was so remote that the terms offered had to be so liberal
that they frightened the public, which happened to be in a sensible
mood, until it was induced to buy by the creation of a market on the
Stock Exchange; the employment of intermediaries on disastrous terms,
and finally default, as soon as the loan charge could no longer be paid
out of the proceeds of the loan, completed the tale.

Mr. Beecher advised young men to get in debt if they could to a small
amount in the purchase of land, in the country districts. ‘If a young
man,’ he says, ‘will only get in debt for some land and then get
married, these two things will keep him straight, or nothing will.’ This
may be safe to a limited extent, but getting in debt for what you eat
and drink and wear is to be avoided. Some families have a foolish habit
of getting credit at ‘the stores,’ and thus frequently purchase many
things which might have been dispensed with.
