was the fret to get dressed, az be had but little diff
emily in robing himself in q ich big suit However
there was never wore no sft palmsd off in Chatham
street. As rs his y companion discovered tue
mistake, he set up wo al lamentat0n, and began TO
beave and swell with a inst indignation, aud With a
cOunienanee resembling Jenny Twitcber after pick
ing the drunken suctioneer's pocket aud then ex-
changing coats be looked after hs little cOmrade with
an expFV salon that seemed 20 say, br1Dg back the

But be young scape. grace kept at yards distance,
and seemed 10 take a Tognish delight in tormeung his
ehum On the other haHo, the old fellow funed and
danced with rage until he was fairly exhausted. FL
naly he concluded to maze a virtue Of a necessity by
putting the little chaps clObes in fact be had bat
The enc alternative, TO put them or 60 naked. He
commenced with the pants, and many were the abor-

pulled until the lower extremilies collapsed and the

toes were through with great deal Of difficulty be
drew up bis pants about the hips, leaving his egs aud
nearly all Of his thighs bare rs a Scotch Highlander
in bis primitive state. He then began TO overhaul the
| coat or upIer garment ! thought it would be like

mind tba II was Of the moral impossbilities and
from that time he made no further efforts but to sim
ply 20 move himself OFF under grape vine with de-
iected courtenance Jonah sitting under the eastern
wall of Nnevab. In very few days he was missing.
| Whether he died natural death, committed suicide,
OF migroed, cannot say. But the scamp that swim
ded him out of his best and only suit, saw twelve
month after. lie had grown considerably, but was
easily recognized by his clothes fitting him "too mooch
too ooch intirely," as they say in Chatham street.
