g" Eleven O'Clock, Ned; don't you
hear the State House clock striking 2"
bThusispokela a young man, one of
the junior partners Of the house Of
Carton a Co, one Of the wholesale
house that line Market street. The
person addressed as Ned was the head
salesman OF the establishment. 4
SWAT a moment, Thomas, 1 will
be with you directly. I think the
morning has passed very rapidly"
Rapidly {" replied Thomas, "I'
have been thinking that eleven o'clock
would never come. It appears to me
the hours grow longer day by day."
Ned having got through with what
he had been busy with, took the arm
Of Thomas, and together they pro-
ceeded to a neighboring tavern, kept
By one Harry Blight Harry was said
to provide the best lunch of any land
lord in the vicinity of Market street.
In fact, as Thomas remarked, it was
more like a regular dinner than
lunch. Stepping in at the door, they
soon surrounded the we'll filed board,
Thomas, ravenous with hunger, soon
had the carving knife in his had, cut
ting off a slice for Ned. He helped
himself !; laying il upon a piece Of
bread, he mustarded and peppered it
to his satisfaction and then was heard
the accompaniment q masllcation, to
the masic Of the brandy bottles, as
they ratified upon the counter.
@Now, Neddy, my boy, what will
you have r. .6AY3aa 49
/" I'll take gin sling To-day,
Thomas"
The sling and toddy we're soon de-
posted beneath their waistcoats, and
calling for segars, they lighted them
and took a, seat to regale themselves
With their flavor.
81 say, Ned, this saloon Of Harry's
is a snug place to while away a half
an hour in, before dinner. A more
gvntlemanly or clever fellow | never
knew. He keeps the best liquors,
segars, and luueh, Of any landlord in
town /; and am glad he is so well
patronized.'' 7~7A'1
) swell, Thomas, what will you
have ?--my treat, you know"
Tlltake brandy and sugar, Ned?"
/" Here, waiter, bring us a gin sling
and brandy and sugar"
Thomas having prepared his brandy
and sugar to his liking, sat slipping it
and smacking his lips-a stranger to
the glass would have smacked his lips
too, If he had tasted it, not for its
favor, but for its fiery taste, no water
having been mixed with them Thorn
asihaTing lately always asserted that
water spoiled brandy and sugar. Il
Having finished their glasses, they re-
turned to the store to attend to their
regular business.

twosstory house, and the eomfortwith.
