THE GAZETTE.
SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 20.

GEr CLOSER TOGETHER. men met
who at first sight hated each other. There
was . mutual responsiveness between them.
Neither would ever consent to be introduced
to the other, or remain 10 his company under
any circumstances. Both ate at the same Ia
bic where perhaps twenty others dined, but
they were always at opposite ends. At some
fancied grievance, one day, one threw dish
at the other head and it required the inter
position of friends to prevent what wouli nave
otherwise been tragical scene. Thlngs went
this way for months, the hatred OF each grow
ing more intense, aud must have culminated
in serious trouble to bath if it continued much
longer. Circumstances, however, threw them
together 10 such way, one day, as to compel
them TO recognize each other. Immediately
the scales of prejudice fell from their eyes, aud
each saw 10 the other what always had existed
--congenial spirits they became ever at
ter, and are to this day, 6rm and true friends.
Thus 1t is that We so frequently 6ud men OPP
posed to each other With no sufficient reason
simply Blinded BY prejudice. There is magic
in the contact Of human bodies. The closer
you get the plainer you see the good qualities
of your feow-meu. But staod off at dis
lance, and like the man who mistook bis broth
er for robber in the gloom of the evening,
yonr fancy is invested with every imaginable
evil with regard to him. Come closer.

ICE DEaLE RS.
Notice to Ice Consumers.

] desire to call the attention of consumers of
Ice To the tac, that | have on hand, and offer
for sale during the coming summer, from 1000
to 1907 tons Of Ice which l will deliver to any
part Of the city ut
LOWEST POSSIBLE RATES.
This Ice was collected in good condition from
the Pond south Of the Canal Basin; was formed
entirely from rain and spring water; is free froi:i
mixture with vegetable mstter and it would se
difficult to assign any reason why it should he
inferior in purity to Ice gath cred from the rivers
of the North.
Ice cut from this Pond is now used at the resi-
dences Of COL G. F. Suttle and John Dain:.
gerfeld, esq, also at the Mansion House and
City Hoe with entire satisfaction to all.
In assuming to carry on more lsrgely the
business pursued in small way for many years
by my father, ! respe ctfully ask continuation
of tho patronage which he enjoyed, with such
additional trade rs my increased efforts may
seem to- merit
Prcpretors of Hotels and Restaurants, Con
fectioners and other consumers of consi lernble
quantities of Ice will find my PRICES VERY
LIBERAL
