dreams of ANYTHING in which he does not
smell rat The most harmless action of
his nci"hbor, under his suspicious and inquis-
torial disposition, is made matter of serious
investigation, because he knows there is some
thing in the wind for he saw his ncirhbor,
MIR b., speaking confidentially to Mrs S., that
very morning in the market. He puts that
and that together, and connects this whisper
ing in the morning with something he heard
in the BARRIERS shop, some weeks before, and
he is satisfied that his nei ghbor b. is either
going to fail in business, or abScond without
giving his creditors due notice.
The most terrible part of such a man 5
character is, that he places such faith upon
the coroliarlcS he draws from his false pre-
