When Freedom from her mountain height

An old woman in Bridgeport, who has

1t is with feelings of the profoundest
gloom that the sad duty is performed of
recording the death, from softening of the

nurse of the world, had folded them from

A. L. STEWART AND HIS CLERKs.-I had
an interesting chat with one of Stewards
clerks, regarding the business habits of his
employer He tells me that the
" Old Man," as they style him, is at the
store in New York every day at 8 a. m.,
stays an hour or so, rides to the wholesale
store, and drops into the retail establish
ment again at 4:30, remaining until g. He
has most wonderful memory, and while
he never forgets mistake, he is prompt to
and reward those who take an in
Eerest III his business and attend to it with
the care and vim that he considers it de-
mands. My informant says that Stewards
IS the best retail house to work for, both rs
regards pay and advancement. He quoted
numerous instances i'll which men had risen
oy attention to business, most notably the
present superintendent of the largest dry
goods establishment in the world Mr..
Stewart prizes the services of this former
parcel boy so highly, that, in addition to
he splendid salary he pays him, he has
,iven him the the title deeds of house in
New York valued at $780, 000 Mr.. Stewart
loes everything ON grand scale, as BELTS
lis reputation. When the clerks were sent
rom the New York store to his Saratoga
me, they had palace car and sleeping car
or their exclusive accommodation. They
Ill lodge in one of Mr.. Stewards cottages,
AXE their meals at hotel, and Mr.. Stewart
oots the bill. He has also on several ocea-
