now become city, resided busting build
ing body, (ihs name steals into our memo
ny SO gently,) as full Of speculatons as a
decayed cheese is ONO matter what. His
neighbor was then the store keeper, and
decidedly merry man. The Spectator
induced the store keeper to endorse for him
with the usual sequel-ruin and failure for
both parties. Time passed. Our merry
man never recovered entirely from the DOWN
fall, although his neighbor did--or nearly
so-and one Of the results is, that at times
ne gets little of old Nick. spunk in him.
A few days since he was in great need of a
cool hundred and catching up gun, visited
the Spectator and threatened to shoot him

His reasoning proved too powerful to be
withstood-the money was paid and the re-
ceipt, on old account duly signed and de-
liyered.
