And now, said Charles, Il should feel
obliged if you would. have the goodness to
advance me a few hundred, as | au rather
short of cash. !"
My dear sir, as much as you require is at
your service. How much do you want
one, two, or four thousand?'
'"Thank you, five hundred will be quite
sufficient" !"
"May | hope" added the broker, when
Charles rose to take leave, 'that our firm
may be favored with the continuance Of

Certainly"
No period of Charles Denim life affords
pleasanter reflections than this brief inter

and were not little alarmed at Charley S
sudden journey to Boston, which vas at
tributed by others to legal business respect
ing his uncle's estate. They began TO fear
that he had gone too far; that he had come

When he returned from Boston, they
went to him with solemn faces
my dear Charles, :" said Ginseng, you
know your uncle is not deadp'
II cannot be sure of that, said Charles,
'for / am by no means convinced OF his

to confess how foolish we have been.
Truth cannot remain long concealed, or
reports of this kind stand long in these
days of tclcgraphic dispatches; cope be-

Charles reply disarmed all doubt Of his
solvency. .. a..
"Mr Denim thanks Mr. Schneider ior

closes check for the amount"
This cool and unconcelncd demeanor
kept curiosity alive for few days longer.
What a lucky iclowr said one.

well, and has won.
Once or twice Charles conscience troub-
led him; but moments reflection conrinc
ed him that his own exertions had no share
in his good fortune, and that he owed it all
to universal public worship of the golden
calf, and to the truth of Plea S axiom, ''the
next best thing to capital is credit.
