They shook hands and parted Then (drst
knocking with bis knuckles Tor leaYe) entered
to Mr.. Widing, from door OF communication
between his private countiug-bouse and that IN
which his clerks sat, the Head Cellarman of the
cellars of Wllding 4 Co., Wine Merchants, and
eTst Head Cellarmau Of the cellars OF Pebbleson
Nephew. The joey Lsdle in question. slow
and ponderous man, of the drayman order OF
human architecture, dressed in a corrugated
suit and bbbed apron, apparently composite
of door.mat and rhiIoceros-hide.
Respecting this same boarding and lodging,
Young Master Wilding,n said be.
"Yes, Joey?p
"Speaking for myself Young Master Wilding
and l never did speak and l never do speak
for no one else-I don't want no boarding nor
yet no LODGING. But II you wish to board me
and TO looge me, take me- can peck as well
as most men. Where l peck amt so high a
object with me as What ! peck. Nor even so
high a object with me as How much peck. Is

"Yes. l hope we shall all be an united family,
"Ah /" said Joey. 81 hope they may be-"
"They? Rather say we, Joey"
! me to make we on 1t, Young Master Widing,
! not at my time of life and under the circum-
! stances which has formed my disposition. I
have said TO Pebbleson Nephew many time,
! when they have said to nae, Put a livelier face
! upon it, Joey'-I have said to them, Gentle
men, it Is all very well for you that has been
| accustomed to take your wine into your systems
by the conwivial channel of your throttles to
| pat lively face upon 1t; but says 1 have
| been accustomed to take nly wine in at the
pores Of the skin, and, took that way, 1t acts
different. 1t acts depressing. It's one thing,
eentlemen' I says 10 Pebbleson Nephew, go
charge your glasses in diniug-room with Hip
| HurTah and Jolly Companions Every One, and
| it's another thing to be charged yourself,
through the pores, in low, dark cellar and a
mouldy atmosphere. 1t makes all the difference
betwixt bubbles and wapers,' tells Pebbleson
Nephew. And so it do. I've been acellar-mau
my life through, with my mind fully given to
the business. What's the consequence? I'm as
muddled man as lives-you won't find mud
dleder man than me-nor yet you won't find my
equal in molloncoly Sing of Filling the
bum per fair, Every drop you sprinkle O'er the
brow of care Smootbs away wrinkle? Yes.
Pr'aps so. But try filing yourself through the
pores, UNDERGROUND when you don't want toit j
II am sorry to hear this, joey. l had even
thought that you might join singing-class in
the house.n
"Me, sir? No, no, Young Master wilding,
you won't catch Joey Ladle muddling the
Armony. pecking-machine, sir, is all that 1
! am capable of proving myself, out of my cellars;
but that you're welcome to, if you think it's
worth your while TO keep such thing on your
premises"
| 81 do, joey"
''Say no more, sir The Business word is my
! law. And you're a going to take Young
Master George Vendale partner into the old
Business?"
81 am, joey"
''More changes, you see But don't change
the name of the Firm again. Don't do it, Young
Master Wilding. 1t was bad luck enough to
make it Yourself & Co. Better by far have left
it Pebbleson Nephew that good luck always
stuck to. You should never change luck when
it's good, sir.n
'At ali events, Ihave no intention of changing
| the name of the house again, Joey.n
"Glad to hear it, and wish you good day
Young Master Wildmg.- But you had better by
half" muttered joey Eadle, inaudibly, as he
closed the door and shook his head, 'have lei
the name alone from the first. You had better
by half have followed the luck instead Of cross
ing it,"
