gratified, and told him to make three
of the best barrels he could. The
young cooper selected the best mate

wheeled them up to the old mans

handing it to the clerk, closed with

Anecdote of Stephen Girard.-The
following anecdote, illustrative of the
late Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia, is
from the New Bedford Mercury:
Mr.. Girard had favorite clerk, one
who every way pleased him, and who
at the age of twenty-one years ex-
pected Mr.. Girard to say something OF
his future prospects, and perhaps lend
him a helping hand in starting him in
the world. But Mr.. Girard said nothing,
carefully avoiding the subject of his
escape from minority.
At length, after the lapse of some
weeks, the clerk mustered courage
enough to address Mr.. G. upon the
subject.
al suppose sir" said the clerk az
am free, and l thought I would say
something to you as to my future
course"
ayes, yes, know you are,n said Mr..
G. and my advice to you is, that you
go and learn the cooper's trade"
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.
81 am in earnest was the reply.
The clerk, rather unhesitatingly,
sought out one of the best coepers, and
agreed with him upon terms Of ap-
pTentieeship, and went at il in good
earnest, and in the course of time made
as good barrel as anybody.
He went and told Mr.. .Gifard he had
graduated with all the honors Of the
