Anecdote of Stephea Girard The following
capital anecdote Illustrative Of the pecuarities oi
the late Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia, is from
the New Bedford Bulletin. We have not seen ii
published before -, .. ..- ... s.... tsai.-..l
"Mr. G. had fayorite clerk, one who every
way pleased him., and who, when q. the age OF
twenty.one years, expected MIR. G. to say some
thing to him in regard to his future prospects, and
perhaps lend him helping hand in starting him
in the world. But Mr.. G. said nothing, carefully
avoiding the subject Of his escape from minority.
AT length nfer the lapse of some weeks, the c1eI
mustered courage enough TO address Mr.. g; upon
The subject .... -
fEeet and thought / could say something 10. you
as to my future course. What do you think /
had better do ~ 3 Esg gEF 15zSg ..-. =.
ayes know you are free" said Mr.. G., and
my advice 10 you is, that you go and learn the
cooper's trade. - - 81 q. 4. s4gg
This announcement well nigh threw the clerk
off the track. but, recovering his equilibrium, he
said if Mr.. G. was in earnest, he would do so.
al am in earnest" said Mr. G.; aud the clerk,
rather hesiatingly sought of the best coopers,
agreed upon the terms Of apprenticeship, and
went at it in earnest. Z" In process of time" the
young cooper became master of his trade, and
could make as good q barrel as any other cooper.
He went and told Mr.. G. thai he had graduated
with all the honors of the craft, and ready 10
set up his business; at which the old man seemed
much grati6ed, and told him to make three of the
best barrels he could get up The young cooper
selected the choicest materials, and soon put in
shape and finished bis three barrels, aud wheeled
them up to the old mans counting room. MIR. G.
said the barrels were first rate, and demanded the
price. e. ri ;,.srrs,
" One dollar" said the clerk, " is as low as
can live BY" - -.>tf
"Cheap enough" said his employer I" make
out your bill and present it.'
And now comes the cream Of the whole. Mr..
c. drew check for $4,000, and handing it 10
the cIerk-cooper, closed with these words: ..g.
"There, take that, and invest it in the best possi-
BILE way, and if you are unfortunate and lose it,
you have good trade to fail back upon, which
will afford you good living at all times"
