ga GOOD BUSINESS. AN EXCELLENT BUSINESS"
We heard a story the other day which anu
sed us not a little, and one we consider alto
gether too good to be lost. A few weeks since,
a person of respectable exterior and gentle
manly department made his appearance in a
4 little village not a thousand miles from New
Haven, where the inhabitants are somewhat
proverbial for keeping a closer eye to their
neighbor's affairs than to their own. The
stranger took lodgings at the village inn, and
Having no visible employment 10 perplex or
disturb him, his time passed Oft, apparently,
quite agreeably to himself, but much to the
dispute, of the neighborhood. Curiosity, that
ever restless tormentor of the village, was all
agog to learn the strangers business and means
of support, and many were the wise guesses
and sage surprises as to both until alter pref
ty general consultation and thorough canvass
ing of the pros and cons, by the board OF Cos
-fsips, il was concluded that he had neither, and

with an uncancelled score as token OF re-
membrance.
At length one of the most inveterant of the
needles resolved in his own mind to breach
r the subject to the stranger and thus by per-
forming an act of kindness for his nelghbor, un-
I socited-whose easy nature he was certain
! was being imposed upon-he would have an
} opportunity to satisfy himself as TO the stran-
} gers real character.
He accordingly introduced himself, when the
following dialogue ensued:
