NJ. LATTE, the great Partisan banker

When NJ. Lattice come to Paris, in

letter of recommendation. This gentleman
had Just taken possession of the hotel Of
Made. Gurmard, which had been put up
to lottery by that lady, and won By the for
tunate banker 1t was TO this charming

tic did he think that this irivi1lac,ion was TO
decide his future fate, but so il was.
From the window OF his cabinet NJ. Per-
regaux had observed the action of the young
man The Swiss banker was one Of those
keen observers OF human actions, who esil-
mate the value Of circumstances apparently
triling in themselves, and which would
pass unnoiiced by the majority Of mankind
In this simple action he saw the revcla-
ton Of a character; it was guarantee OF a
love Of order and economy, certain pledge
ofall the qualities which should be possessed
by good fnancicr. A young man who
would pick up pin could not fail TO make
aggood clerk, merit the confidence Of his
employer, and obtain high degree Of
prosperity.
In the evening of the same day, NJ. La.
fitte received the following note from NJ
Perregaux.
"A place is made for you in my office
which You NAV take possession of to.mor
row morning
The anticipatons ofthc banker were not
deceived The young LATTE possessed ev
cry desirable quality and even more than
was at first expected. From simple clerk
he soon rose to be cashier, then partner, then
head of the first banking house in Paris
and afterwards in rapid succession, depu
ty and president of the Council of Ministers
the highest office 10 which citizen can as.
pire
On what a trihe does the fortune of q
man sometimes depend. But for the SIM
pie incident of the pin, Nj. Laiitte would,
perhaps, never have entered into the house
of NJ. Perregaux another employer might
not have opened TO him so wide field OF
action, and his talents and intelligence
would not have led to such magnificent re-
suits.
Little did NJ Perragaux think that the
hand which would pick up pin was that
of man, generous to prodigalty in do
ing good-a hand always open TO succor
honorable misfortune. Never were riches
placed in better hands-nevcr did banker
or prince make more noble use of them.
