"i'll steal the h6ar of the old man's duarter."'J ,
[Old Pellow.
A young grocer of good character
and corr6cthab its, comnuenced busi
ness in a good and improved neighbor
hood. His stock was smnall, as were
his means, and hii stotk of customers
till sinallr. HIis sales hardly met
is expenses, and he' was evidehtly go
ing "down hill,'' and an old grecer on
the oppositb d0rncr, predicted that he
would isobn be at the bottom.
The young'grocer had reason to re
gret this 6piuion of the old grocer, as
will appear. Th latter had a daugh
ter that had won the hert of fhe for
mer. He offdred hh'ielf &. er and
was rejected. It was doi, bOwever,
with the assuraneo that he wAs the
man of her choice, and that she acted
in obedience to ld'r fathirvs com
mandi(s.
Assured of the affection of the wO'
man of his choice, he sot himself about
removing the obstacle iid the way of
their union-the father's objPetion? to'
his pecuniary prospects.

had left the ol etablished Mand on
the opposite cetret- for the foung fa
vorite. There waw a. .ystefy about
it which puzzled the old grocer'sorely,
and which lie could not ujravel. lie
it length became nearly sick with
loSes and aggravatioiks and with vain
attempts to discover the secret of his
Ieighbor's success.
