An Appeal Which surprised and Disgusted
an Honest Acadian.
Jovite Arnivault is an Acadian
Frenchman who lives near Yarmouth,
N. S. He went fishing on shares for
Mr.. Augustus Woodman, and they made
a bad voyage. At the settlement Jovite
had to sign note for forty dollars for
his indebtedness to MIR. w.
These Acknowledgements are always
taken in such cases. Sometimes they
get paid-more often they don't. II
they run over second bad year they
are not worth much, and Jovite had an
other poor year.
Then he went fishing out of another
port and made a very successful voyage.
In the autumn of that year Jovlte's
brother presented himself at MIR. Wood
mans Office with very mournful coun-
tenance. What you go to do bout
Jovte's note, Gust? He never could
pay dat note; got large family and bad
luck.
"Well," said Mr.. Woodman. 'T
don't want to be hard-how much can
he pay?"
Ambrose thought he might perhaps
pay 1.-TWO, tree dollar" and after
awhile Woodman said "Well, If he can
raise ten dollars will give him back
the note"
Then Ambrose produced. with many
q groan, small sums of money from
many different receptacles. stopping
occasionally to beg in true Nova
Scot an fashion for ''better terms" but
| in vain.
The ten dollars came at last and tho
note was given up.
A few days later Woodman learned
that Jovite had cleared four hundred
dollars, and soon after he met him and
complained that he had not been well
used in the transaction. He appealed
to Jovite's sense of honor and Justice
and finally asked him if he did not
think himself bound to pay something
more.
The Frenchman looked at him for q
space, surprise. disgust and pity alter
nately displaying themselves in his
countenance.
Then he said: "Gust, always take
you for biznes' man. 1 didn't fought
you was green" and, departing, closed
the interview. Detroit Free Press.

Warning to Bad Writers.

Henry Clay, who was neat penman.
was quite an enthusiast on the subject
of plain handwriting, and was in the
habit of telling story in point about a
c ncinnati groceryman who wanted a
lot of cranberries and thought he could
get them cheap in little Kentucky
town. To til end he wrote to Gus
toner at the place. requesting him to
send one hundred bushels of. cranber-
ries per S mmons-the name of his
tcamster. The writing was SO bad that
the party to whom the note was ad-
dressed could not make ont the word
"cranberries" at all, but did conclude
that his correspondent wanted one hum
dred bushels of persimmons, which
were at once gathered and forward cd,
much to the disgust of the Cinclnna ii
man.-Ben. Perley Poore.
