-Hnre Is a true tale of business life

Here is a true tale of business life
in New York. Once upon q time a
young man got employment as a clerk
in the establishment of a prosperous
merchant, who paid him fairly for faith
full services and treated him well ac-
cording to his worth, SO that his mind
was contcnted as time sped along. In
the course of years, and in the vicissi-
tudes of fortune, the merchant failed,
went out of business, and fell into pow
crty. In the mean while the clerk, who
was of a frugal turn of mind, had saved
enough of his income to begin business,
whereupon he set up his establishment,
took as a clerk the man who had once
been his employer, paid him fairly for
faithful service, and treated him well,
so that both are now contented as time
speeds along.-N. Y. Sun.
