AN INGENIOUS SWINDLE.
The New York Sun says that a new and ingenious swindle on a small scale has just come to light in the village of Irving. Mr Gib South, a druggist, when looking over one of his New York papers not long ago, saw the following advertisement:— HOW TO DOUBLE YOUR MONEY. A legitimate method, requiring wit, bat no risk beyond the cost of a letter and ten cents in silver. If yom are not afraid of twelve cents, address— Box—, Bible House, N. Y. City. Mention the name of this paper. Smith wasn't afraid of 12 cents. He clipped ont the advertisement, pasted it on a sheet of letter paper, wrote the name of the paper from which it was clipped under it, and wrote his own address, pasted a ten cent piece on the letter paper by means of a two cent, stamp and mail«d the whole to the firm in New York. In exactly 74 hours from that time he got an answer to his letter. It came in a cheap, unsealed, manilla envelope. It was printed on a slip of the cheapest white paper: '* Dear Sir, in reply to your esteemed favour of recent date asking us to teach you HOW TO DOUBLE YOUR MONEY. We will tell you a plan for gaining wealth, Better than banking, trading, or leases ; Take a new greenback and fold it up, And then you will find your wealth increases.
