"PLL CALL T0.MORROW."

Some years since, wealthy carriage
maker, residing in Philadelphia, was very
much annoyed by the calls of hackmen,
cabmen, omnibus drivers, &C., who under
pretence of wishing to purchase. would
put him to considerable trouble, in show.
ing them all the varieties he had on hand,
and explaining the different, the lowest
price of each vehicle, and then leave him
with the consoIing idea that they would
''think ont" and if they concluded to
purchase, "wby, they would call again
to morrow" But it so happened that
they never called second time. This
daily inquiry, we say, had become very
annoying, and the owner in self defence,
had resolved on not paying any attention
to custo ner unless he came well dres-
sed. About this time, the owner W IS one
