a MERCHANTS CAREER.
From Errand Eoy to one Of Large Firm.

We clip the following extract,
showing the way in which some
of our merchants have risen from
an humble, non-remuneratiVe po-
sition to that Of wealth and prom
nence:
A few years ago large drug
firm advertised for boy. The
next day the store was tbronged
with applicants, among them a
queer looking little fellow, accom-
panied by e woman, who proved
to be his aunt, in lieu of father
less parents, by whom he had
been abandoned. Looking at this
little waif, the merchant in the
store said. Cant take him
places all full; besides, he is TOO
small 4 know he is small said
the woman, but he is willing and
faithful There was twinkle in
the boys eye which made the
merchant think again. A partner
in the firm volunteered to remark
that 'he did not see that they
wanted such a boy-he wasn't
bigger than pint of cider But
after consultation the boy was
set to work A few days Ia
ter a call was made on the
boys in the store for some one
to stay all night. The prompt
response of the little fellow con-
trasted we'll with the reluctance
of others. In the middle of the
night the merchant looked in TO

weeks elapsed before a show of

his opportunity, and entered the
rear door to seize something, but
in twinkling found himself firm.

clerk aforesaid, and, after a strug-

robbery was prevented, out valua'

the merchant why be stayed be-

me never to leave the store when

A girllsh voice aroused Hetty.

She passed on, leaving Hetty
with flushed cheeks and bright
