WANT OF CONFIDENCE.
By GEO. r. MORRIS.


A careful money saving little Frenchman
loaned merchant five thousand dollars when
tho times were good. He called.a at the count.
ing-housc during the financial panic, in a state
Of agitation not easily described.
How do you do?' inquired the merchant.
Sick, very sick, replied tho little French
man.
What's the matter?
De times de matter
DE times, what disease il thatP
De maade vat break all dc merchants yer

Ah-ihe times, ell f-woIl, they are bad,
very bad, sure enough bli how do they ef-
feet you!
w, monsieur, l lose de confidence
In whom?
In everybody
Not in me, lope!'
'Paidonnez moi, monsieur; but | do not
know how to trust at present, when ali le
merchants breaks several times all to pieces
Then! presume you want your money!
'Oui, Monsieur, starve for tho want Of
the rargent.
Can't you do without il
No, Monsieur, must have him.
You must?
'Oui, Monsieur said little dimty breechcs,
turning pale with apprehension for the safety
Of lis money
And you can't do without it?'
NO, Monsieur, not yon other leetlc mo-
ment longare.'
The merchant reached the bank k-book-
drew a check on the good old honest Chemi-
cal for the amount, and handed it over TO his
visitor
Vat is dis, Monsicur3
A check for five thousand dollars, with
the interest

| want de grand confidence. Suppose you
no got &c money, den want him very much
suppose you GO Lin, den | no want him
at all. Nous compiencc, chi?
After some further conference, the little
Frenchman prevailed upon the merchant to
retain the money, and left the counting house
with light heart, and a countenance very
different from the one he wore when he enter.
ed. His confidence was restored, and altho'
he did not stand in need of the money, he
wished to know that it was in safe hands.
This little sketch Las q moral, which the
reader i'll, no doubt, discover.
