DE GRAND CONFIDENCE
An Old Story Now Applicable to
the Present Stringeney.

An Old Story Now Applicable to
the Present Stringeacy.
The following hit at the times, writ
ten by George p. Morris more than fifty
years ago. apropos to the money panic
of that period, exactly fits the present
situation, says the Washington Star:
A little Frenchman loaned-a merchant
5000 when the times were good. He
called at the counting house few days
since i'll state or agitation not easily
described
''How do you do?" inquired the mer-
chant
''Siek-ver sick: replied monsieur.
Whats the matterg'
de times is de matter"
'Detlmes?-what disease is that?'
DE maiade vat break all de mer-
chants yer much"
''Ah-the times. eh?-well. they are
bad, very bad, sure enough; but how
do they affect you?''
IVY, monsieur, lose de confde nee"
In whom?'
I'm everybody"
Not in lie, | hope?';
"FardonneZ moi, monsieur; but I do
not know who to trust present, when
all de merchants break several times,
all to pieces
Then L presume you want your
money!"
''Oui. monsieur. starye for want of
Pargent.'
Cant you do without ito"
NO. monsieur, must have him."
''You must?"
"0ui. monsieur" said the little dimity

sion for the safety of his money.
And you can't do without it?''
"No, monsieur. not Won other leetIe

''Vat is dis. monsieur?'

amaZement.

The Frenchman was perpleXed.

with all my heart"

Why, thought you wanted it,
Tout au contraire. | no want de Par
GENT want de grand confidence. Sup
pose you no got de money. den | want
rim yer much-Suppose you got him,

preneZ, eh?''
After some farther conference, the
little FreEchrnan prevailed upon the
merchant to retain the money, and left
the counting house with a light heart
and countenance very different from
the one he wore when he entered. His
confidence was restored, anu. although
he did not stand i'll need of the money.
he wished to know that his property
was il safe hands.
This little sketch has a moral if the
reader has sagacity enough to find it.

the person who has prosecuted her, and
which said that she was the cause of
trouble III the peace congress held III
