"A gentleman" tramp. with tear in his
eye and sad, broken heart, made his
appearance at residence ON East High street
few days ago. He was vending his way
home to Phiadelphia-the ProdiSal Son
and was DESTROYS of making az respectable
an appearance as his condition could afford.
The kind laiy of the house, whose tender
heart was touched by his silvery tongue and
pitiful words, fitted him up in neat suit OF
hor husbands clothes, for which he made the
following speech: "Kind lady, have been an
honored professional man, but now forern
tramp upon the road. Good fortune may
come again, and if it does you shall be paid
tenfold for this kind act and generous treat
ment Goodbye" And his trampship was
of. A husband now mourns the loss of Il
suit of clothes.
