THE STEADY OLD FILE.-The Steady
Old File is an automhton--graye, sedate.
and in general, without temper, though his
ire may be occasionally reused by the 10
regularities of others, or by any interfcr4
ence with his own duties and arrangements.
Punctnal to moment is the Steady Old
File, the first to appear 10 the warehouse tho
last to depart. Always occupied he shirks
not, neither does he gossip. He is not
vo'uble in praise Of his goods; he does not
spring or vault-he walks round his cus-
toner. lie never goes into raptuses about
the finish Of a velvet, the lustre OF gros,
or the texture Of a muslin; but speaks ia
measured and judicious praise Of all. He
generally has his own customers, who pre-
fer him to any other "young msn;" end
with reason. He is not npt to be led away
by Observation-Disclosures Pacha did not
move him; neither does horse race or 1
review. He has no passion that way; in
deed, he has no passions at all, that ever
exhibit themselves. He signs all receipts
grayely and accurately, but no, before hs
has counted and inspected the goods de-
liyercd; he never speculates in any thing,
not even under an assumed namo in
shilling sweep; and yet, in spite Of these
prosaic qualities, it is curious fact, thst tho
Steady Old File keeps bis situations, ifthey
are worth The keeping; and if not, be has
three old masters ia reserve, who would az
any time receive him again. These Steady
Old Files are the real foriune-mskers of
many merchant and manufacturer, and il
happens. that they are rewarded by become
ing themselves partners in the concern; in
deed, the mnjor part Of the most prosperous
merchants in Manchester may be traced 10
the obscurest beginnimgs;-they became
Steady Old Files; and they are now the
principals Of the houses which they first en-
tered as floor-sweepers, general fag., and
carries out. We have said that the Steady
Old File is an autonaion, but We hsve MOI
given that mecbaniciem name-.he is a
clock--self-w wound, selfregulated, that al

you can depend upon in all weathers; and
one that never stops until springs and
wheels together are worn away BY the fric-
ton Of life-tme.--English Paper.
