Stephen Girard lived and carried on
his immense mercantile transactions at

^P«Uvn, more through eccentricity than

mbic nnd really magnificent acts of
kindness to those falling in. his way.
One day he said to Peter Flinn, whom
he had oft, and fur a long' time*, em
ployed upon the wharves, in hauling
8 rx>ds from his large ships to -bis ware-
ouses: ,

“ Be dad, and sure I know that, sir;

The merchants snickered and the
auctioneer grinned ; r no more bids were
made,'and down came tbc tea, 800
chests.

This dubious declaration produced
another stretch of the phizzes of the
merchants, and the auctioneer, in great
doubt, put up another lot of five hundred
chests. Down it went to Peter Flinn !
And so, likewise, went . the third.-—
When the sale was concluded, the mer
chants glided oft, believing the auction

presenting the bills and notes of Pe

the old fellow cashed lhem on sight.—
The sale Caine nearly to $100,000; the
much wanted in the market,
ami Peter got rare bargains; nnd be
fore noon the nest day received $15,000
for his bid on the cargo of tea.—
The cargo was soon transferred. Girard
indemnified ' and the poor drayman
found himself with a snug little furluue

So would we, and so doubtless would
all our readers in such a case. But
let us look at this matter a little. Two
bodies politic, some years ago, entered
into a copartnership, for geueral purpo
ses, under the name of Messrs. North
and South. They were remarkably
prosperous, and although one treated
the-other a little badly sometimes, still
the respect andaftectionenlertained by
the injured person for his partner, led
him almost entirely to everlook the
wrongs and trespasses. Time went
on, and prosperity still smiled upon
the firm. They made purchases, they
bought land, and divided it after some
fashion-, Mr. North, however, always ob
taining a large share o( the bread and
