The anticipation, Of the bunker were not deceived
The young LATTE possessed every desirable
cuili'y, and even more than WI AT first anticipated.
From simple clerk he soon rose to be cashier. then
partner, then head 0fthc first clearinghouse in PARIS,
and af or ward in rapid succession, a Dcputy and Pre-

10 which n citizen can aspire.

III. L1ttc would, perhaps, never have entered the
house Of VI. Perregeaux; another employer might
not have opened :, ham - wd, n field of action. and
his talents and intelligence would not have led to such
magnificent results.
