MISCELLANY.
Paving Old Debts.

In these warm days the GOODNESS of the hero
of the following histioretta is decidedly re-
ireshing L., painter of talent, and a
good liver, has credltors-so many that he
paws none of them. Among the most innor-
Innate was his tailor. One morning the first
clerk OF the latter creditor knocked at the
door.
Il come, sir, to ask you for money" said
the clerk, politely, but with the decided tone
OF one VINO means to have what he asks for
my employer has heard that you received
some money yerterday, and al.
Excuse me, sir" interrupted L., win
perfect equanimity, ''but II you nave inAue W
your mind to preach to me, must ten you pe-
iorenaud, that however eloquent your selnion
may be, it will be Impossible Ior me W pay
your bill to-day" o,
rs that your maj reply, su
sYou have said it"
"il that case, l must tell you, with great re-
oret. that am ordered not to leave here until
YOU nave given me the money"
LAS you please sir; take seat"
Tue Elk sat down, and L., opening the
door, calls out to the concierge
Il am at home to nobody, only wish Won
would come in tonight aud take the letters
you will nnd on my table to their addresses"
Then ne smut the door, put the key in his
pocket, sat down to his desk. wrote = nnm-
Der OF letters which he sealed with black. and
then scrubbed all over large sheet of pa
par headed IN large letters-FHIs Is MY
WILL"
Iue clerk followed all his movements, and
laughed TO himself with that knowing air which
seems 20 say, that is not very smartl
When had done writing, he opened
large closet, got on chair, aud unwound a
long roll of list OF all colors. Now the tailor's
curiosity began to be aroused.
tsWhaf ho hf ~ To-
he an idea of making me his prisoner, and COM
pelilug me to make list shoes?"
L, armiug himself with hammer, be-
gan 10 taslen the doors and windows with
seriousness which resembed sadness. This
accomplished, he took alarge bronze cup from
which he improvised chatting dish; he filed
it with coal and lit it.
This Is farce" thought the clerk to him
sell; but this time he did not laugh.
L-goes back to his desk, arranges his
papers and writes these words, which he sticks
on the WALL ACCUSE NOBODY OF OUR
DEATH
At that moment, the tailor, who began to
sneeze, either from fear or incipient asphyxis,
got up and said to L., who was stretch
ed out on an armchair, his eyes already closed:
excuse me, sir; get 1900 francs year
for collecting bills and not for getting suffocat
ed" and he turned towards the door.
1T is too late" said L., placing him
self before him and overlapping him with his
great height, sour determination is irrevoca-
blel"
DE grace, sir, am suffocating, let me out
-either through the dooror through the win
dow!" cried the tailor.
l., who had all he could do to keep
from laughing, at last turned the key in the
lock, the door was opened, and the bill and the
clerk went down stairs four steps at time,
and L., has never seen or of either Of them
since. rf
