A LoNDoS correspondent of the New
Orleans Deita furnishes that paper With
the following readable story: :@ f.
A good sell is related of a wealthy
banker tliere, who is very good natured,
bnt INCLINED 10 be u triao fast ia his views
6flie. He had a fiiyorite clerk, Young
man about twenty-onc, remarkably hand
some, modest and highly intellectual. For
these qualities he was liked by every one,
and the banker did not escape the gene
raj feeling of good will. He was as poor
as---his salary, and had no connections to
push his alter-fort1aes, and so, like most
English clerks, he would rise to 4 hundred
and tweRty pounds a year; go on for eight
years at ten pounds year rise, and marry
when lie got TO two hundred pounds u
year, hencetorth to Yegetate, and find that
the additional ten pounds year rise only
kept pace with the additional babe in his
household. e.. Hin. 49,, . I
Tue banker, on Sunday afternoons when
Lo one was expected, would occasionally
ask the young man TO visit his young
family at his suburban villa, as tie con
versation Of the young man was so csr-
rect and so clever it could not but be of
advantage to his children. This was a
mistake, evidently, but il was good-Ha-

extremely delicate, reserved and proper.
