THE MAN WHOM NOBODY KNEW

One of. our business men, who has been
engaged on the landing SO long that he
knows every body, comparatively, and
thinks every body knows him, had pack
age Of mnncy addressed 10 his care, which
he was to'disposc Of according to dircc-
tion. The money came on the Louisville
mail boat and was in charge or the clerk
The clerk is one Of those men who thinks
the least said is easies, mcndet, and in all
his transactions, if he can get off with ma
nosyllables only, he seldom uses more,
and even with his oldest acQuain.ances,
lie is must always extremely lacilurn.
Going on board Of the boat, soon after
breakfast, our citizens addressed The clerk
with well. Mac, have you got package
for mc?'
Il have 60, one for Mr.. H.'-holding /.
up.
Yes; that's fur me-
You must &c, somebody 10 say so, be-
fore you get it,

'How the devil should know cxclaim-
ed the captain, who is as blunt in his ad.
dress as the clerk.
why, don't you hnow meg said Mr..
II. doubiingly, but with smile.
Saw you about great many times, but
don't know YOU
At this juncture n drayman, who had
hauled many n load from the store of Mr..
II. came in. On The moment he saw him,
he appealed to the clerk again with strong
confidence, and with little sternncss de-
manded his package. Turning To the
drayman. he said: John, tell The clerk
aUho anar
''Pon my soul, can't; know you very
well, but never happened to hear your
name called =
Getting little desperate jus. then, lie
was about to curse the whole party, capt.
clerk and drayman, when gentleman
stepped on board, acquainted with bn,h
parties, and Mr.. II. was relieved from his
peculiar situation. and the package was de.
livered. but he will not soon forget the
day lhut nobody knew him.
