A Merchant. Not a eeaqar.

An American lady in Rome bought
some matches from a little match
vender. They were wax matches In
little decorated boxes. says the Chris
tian Herald.
She handed the boy n five soldi piece
and expected to have . soldi in change,
but the little fellow shrugged his
shoulders and held the change tightly
in his hand. with n begging expression
on his face. signifying that he wished
to have 1t given to him. %whereupon a
second American lady who was ac-
companying the first Strengthened her
self. looked intently at the boy and
said. "Mercante, non mendicante."
(You are n merchant, not a beggar.)
This was an appeal to the boys self
respect. and it SO inspired him that he
actually laughed and pressed the
change upon his customer.
