A Metropolitan Merchant.

The boy was not more than 81 feet
high But he was intelligent and ener-
getic, and he hawked his newspapers
with a zeal that would have been credit
able to a high proof drummer. He was
not unmindful of his dignity, and when
one Broad street purchaser accompanied
his tender of payment for a newspaper
with frivolous chatting remark, the
brisk little fellow embarrassed him with
a sharp glance from two swapping black
eyes, remarking the while: Here is
your change, sir. | have no time for
fooling."

dropping the facetious and assuming a
serious air; will you tell me how long
you have been selling papers,?
II have been in the newspaper bust
ness three years" replied the diminutive
merchant somewhat coldly.
Three years." exclaimed the man
with unfeigned surprise, "why, my lad
you do not look big enough to carry a
bundle of papers.
Notwithstanding" said the mite,
with unruffled dignity, Il have been in
this business for three years. and for two
