Story Of nm Honest Man.

Years ago, when the now proud city of Bos-
ton was but a brisk seaport town, with its
houses struggling to cover the hillside and
barren pasture, and not very successful. in the
attempt, there lived a man somewhat celebrated
in his way, rejoicing in the name of Seth
Thornton. His way of celebrity was, and still
is, a peculiar one, honesty. Folks used to say
that Seth was SO intensely honest, that he was
accustomed to set aside a percentage of his
profits in trade for the benefit Of the poor, as an
Offset to any moneys he might by any possibili-
ty have become unlawfully possessed Of without
his becoming aware Of it.
Whether this was so or not, he was celebra-
ted for his sterling, undertaking honesty, and
without the reward that would have seemed to
have been his due. Seth was poor, and was
indebted for his comfort rather to his economy
than his success in business. He was thirty
years of age when the story commences, and
was regular, methodical to a nicely in his
transactions. and from that had obtained the
soubriquet Of old Sol.
So much for premises, now for our story.
A dull, gloomy day it was without, cold
within, and cherries every where. The trade
was dull as the weather, and Seth was grubbing
up old accounts with severe determination when
he was disturbed by the creaking of the low
door of his shop and the entrance of an old
bowed down figure, who barely placing one
