thor related it to him. in Tuni> Mr. Payne
had written several pieces for the stage
that had met with considerable favor. AMI

one of the theatres of that city Ii WAS
the afternoon before Christmas, and, al
though in winter, the day was bright and
pleasant. Afjer ~trolling about for u time
he seated himself in the Garden of the
Tullerie>, and became u quiet observer of
the life and gtvtty of that brilliant prom
enadc. While sitting there he thought OF
the pleasures his ac4utinttnces had told
him they expected to have the next day,
and reflected that. although in the midst
of all this gay thronr. he was without a
home and friends. and WAS really the
most lonely person in the world. All
through the day he had been humming to
himself an air. which pleased him Very
much, that he had heard in the theatre the
prev vious evening. when he had listened TO
an opera by Douizetti. called - Anne

began to arrange these reflections into

leaving his seat, 4 song that HIS since

FRANKLIN's ADVICE To IotNG TRADES
MEN.-Rrnrmber that time Is money. He
that can earn ten Shillinys a day 1t his
labor. and goes abroad OF sits idle one-llalf
of that day. though he spends but 4 six
pence during his diversion or iilencss,
ought not to reckon that the only expense;
he has spent or rather thrown away, five
shlling> besides.
Remember that credit is money. If a
man lets his money lie in my hands after
it is due. because lie has i gooi opinion of
my credit. he gives me the interest, OF so
much rs can make of the money during
that time. This amounts TO Il considerable
sum where a man has large credit and
makes good use of il.

multiplying nature Money can produce

Remember the saying. The good pay

He that is known TO pay punctutlly ami

The most triling actions that affect a
mans credit are to be regarded The

or at nine at night. heard by the creditor,
makes him easy six months longer; but II
he sees You AT Il billiard table, or hears
YOUR voice ut the tavern, when You should

next day and demands it before 1t is con-
vcnient for YOU TO pay HIM.
