A TRUSTING CUSTOMER.—A week or two since a (le-
,' cently-dressed elderly man called at the shop of our
townsman, Mr. Muirhead, jeweller and watchmaker,
Buchanan-street, and quietly asked if his wat ch was
ready, or, in other words, if it had been repaired.
As Mr. Muirhead had no remembrance at the moment
ofhaving done business with the man, he asked in
turn when he had left the article. " Oh," said the
other, " I didna leave it in this shop, for ye
were ower bye in Nelson-street when ye got it."
Mr. Muirhead, "That must have been a long time
ago then, for we left Nelson-street in 1838—that is 17
years since." "But I left it ye for a' that," said the
other. He was then asked fOr the name and number of
the watch; which he described to a nicety, and on open-
ine• the repository it waslound safe and sound. Exactly
22 years have passed away since Duncan handed it in
for repair, yet he called for it at the encl.6l that period
as coolly as if he had only left it the preceding week..
Duncan's account is—" Ye see, I'm a sawyer to my
trade, and g gaed ower to America that season to see
how things were looking, for I kent the watch would he
safe till I cant' back, but I staid a wee thocht langer
than I intended."—Glasgow Chronicle.
