A Dealer IN Precious Stones.

Chu-MbeTs JOURNAL.
Being on his way home from China,
the ship put In mt one of She Ceylon
ports, and the usual crowd Of
hucksters Invaded the ship. Ny
friend had gone on shore, and only
returned OF board about half an hour
before the tirle fixed for sailing.
Coming out on deck, he was accosted
by u betIsbaned, venera6leold gentle
man, who said he had some valuable
stones for sale if my friend would only
look at them. He opened his case and
presented Tor inspection o small num-
Der OF rubies and emeralds of
various sizes. a fine collection of stones
unset--the usual condition in
which they are offered for sale
in Ceylon-and said that the price
was ESQ, apparently about their actual
value out there. This was large SUM
to my friend; so, after admiring the
stones for some time. he said he Was
AFRAID he could not spend SO
much money. After consider
able hesitation, and declaring
hat he should not make n
penny by the transaction, the dealer
lowered his price TO $50. My friend
still considered, and was on the point
OF Offering e2o, ~ the stones would
then have been ~ really good bargain,
when the trader went down TO CPS.
MY friend waited, and eventually
go was reached. A slight suspicion
dawned over my friends mind,
and on the chance he looked straight
into the mans face and said: II will
give you shilling VERY good,
SIR" said the man, pocketed his shil-
ling, handed in his "precions stones"
and was over the side just in time be-
fore the ship got under weigh. The
precious stones were mere glass.
