Every one who frequents the reading room
oil the theatre de, has observed a little
old man with quiet, melancholy air, who
calls himself dramatic author, but who, TO
The best Of our knowledge, has never specu-
'a'ed on any other than ten cent pieces.
AS soon as he perceives a new conner, he
soes night up TO him, and, after having
says:

don't understand your jeu de mot,,' an
swers the person addressed.
In plain language, without ;eu A, ,,of,. I
bet you do not jump over ten cen, niece.
What do you mean?'
Lend me ten cent piece, and YOU will
see.'
The old man, as soon as he receives the
ten cent piece, places il on the window sill.
and throwing up the sash, says, with ban
tering air, pointing at the same time to the
pavement of the street below:
Now jump over il!
The spectators. rar poiitesse, laugh at the
trick-the old man twirls the little piece Of
money in his fingers-slaps his man famil-
iarly on the back and shoulders, as if to en-
courage him to laugh,-then, Ivy the way of
reflection, remarks carelessly:
III seems very simple, but everything de-
pends on where one puts the money
AT the same time, with an air OF the
most innocent abstraction, he slips the ten
cent piece into his pocket the trick is done !
This harmless industry brings its inventor
the daily means of supplying his simple
wants. Those who have once been his vic.
Tins, are never sorry to see another fall into
the snare.
