These folks would rather you'd be in debt to'em
than not. But you'd rather not beP That
was very commendadle when you did q small
business, and wanted to be certain about ma
king both ends meet, but 1t wouldn't hurt you
q bit now II you never paid your debts. Let
me see the bills; $50 for cards, engraving, &C.;
$500 for flowers; $3.50 for music; $500 for
wines; $500 Tor supper, attendance Of walters,
loan Of silver, &c. Chat mans bills are always
enormous, but couldn't be sure OF a success

bills" (mantua- makers, | suppose you mean,
"and $50 for breakage; $50 for running carpetj
and hundred or two for sundries, and you'll
have nearly two thousand dollars" Well ex
pended, Mr. Rasher, I'd have given thou
sand dollars alone If the Liverpeols had come.
How? Perhaps If I'd privately offered them
that sum, they might have accepted, as they're e
said to be getting poor as they are proud? The
bills are very moderate indeed, considering the
bFillancy Of the affair. Five years from now,
if you should live and prosper, you won't think
anything Of giving ten thousand for grand
party once year. The PillsbnRys do it.
What are you ciphering there, on that peice OF
paper? How many pills, twenty five in box,
at twenty-five cents box, must have been in
hicted upon trusting humanity, at a profit OF
seventy five per cent on the whole, in order to
have enabled the Pillsburys to give the ten thou
sand dollar affair? Pshawi what horribly
coarse minded person you are, to be thinking OF
such things. You might just as we'll inquire
How many barrels OF mess? Rasher you're
hitting that cologne bottle with your elbow!-
There it goes down upon my Brussels carpet /;
thank goodness, it wasn't the nk-stand. You
shouldn't think I'd have Brussels" carpet on
my floor? Did ever hear about Paddy's pigs ?
No, nor don't want to. "a gentleman met
Paddy with drove Of pigs, and, says he, so
you're driving your pigs to Bath are you?' and
Paddy says, whistl whistl if ye place, sir and
don't be afther spaking SO loud, for sure they
think they're going to Dublin, sir, or they
wouldn't stir stepl" And that's Just as much
like you, Rasher, as two pins. II l want to
drive you one way, have to pretend I'm dri
wing you another. Pm constantly endcavoring
To pull the wool over your eyes? Yes, to
pull the wool over your eyes, if you win have it
so--but it's always for your own good, always!
If you'd had your own way. you'd stayed in
that three-story brick, and worn your old white
hat forever. I've persuaded you into house,
and a butler, and carriage, and gloves, and a
decent hat, and party, and-A coat ofarms?
Yes, and a coat-oEarms. which you never
would have had the ambition to look up and
discover who your ancestors were, if 1t hadn't
been for me- What's that? I'm great wo-
man? You've told me so several thousand
times in the course Of our connutial relations,

bit or grain Of spunk you'd be great man, in

sense? And what kind of sense is that?-
Come down TO the warehouse scales to morrow,
