Paulding. I once knew a young fellowof the name of Jack Hastie,who for a longtime puzzledme more *hau a other person I ever met with. lie seemed the most busy indefatigable man in the world ; In was always in motion, and walked as if for a wager. In short every body considered him in a fair way of making his fortune and arriving ut great distinction in this world. But every body was disappointed in Jack Hastie. Though apparently forever in haste he was always a day after the fair. An old and well established merchant, uncle to Jack, being desirous at the age of three score and ten, to retire into the country for the purpose of spending the rest of his days in the enjoy— mi nt of rural felicity, determined to resign his business to his son and nephew. Accor dingly he sent to the latter, desiring him to call at his house at eight o’clock, precisely the next morning. Jack rose betimes, but found to his great mortification, that he was almost a full hour too late; so he made such haste to fulfil hi3 appointment, that he walked against an old woman’s basket of eggs, and broke six dozen at least. But notwithstan ding his haste he arrived too late ; the uncle, who for more than forty years had regulated his i lock by his motions, instead of his motions by hi iock, saluted him as follows: “ So, young mSu, you are come at last, and you may go back as soon as you please. A fellow tlmt's always behind time, will never overtake or uue, I shall seek another partner for my son.” Jack lost his chance of settling in business, and besides this, was prosecuted—not unto death—but what was nearly as bad, in tho Mayor’s Court, by the old woman, and besides paying for the eggs; paid the cost of the suit, which amounted to more than the price of as many beautiful chickens as ever flew into glory. He went home in such haste from his uncle’s that every one said, “what a driving industrious young fellow is Jack Hastie ! The old uncle having denounced Jack as utterly unfit for a merchant, it was necessary for him tc look out for some other mode of attaining a fortune and distinction. He deter mined to study the Law, which being the slow est of all possible things, except a snail, he thought he could keep up without difficul ty. lie accordingly entered the office of an eminent counsellor, who although a very good natured man, would admit his delays in nothing but tho law. Jack came fuming into the office evei v morning in the greatest possible hairy, puffing and blowing, like one of the young gentlemen of the boat club after a hard row ; but ilmiigh he came in such haste, it was re markable in a man who had patiently followed the law so long. “Mr. Hastie,” said he, it is very extraordinary that though you appear to be in such a great hurry to come to tiie office, you never get here in time. I wish you would use a little haste, and perhaps you will get hero a little sooner. Festinn lenfe, as Cicero says.” ~ i„<rnsfi's Ca’sar,” replied Jack. “ Well, well—l believe—now I recollect, it was Augustus Ctesar- lint I wish you would adopt the method I recommend to iret here sooner. “ 1 will fry,” said Jack—but the next day lie was two hours behind instead of one, atul tho counsellor recommended him to return to his old system of puffing and blowing. At length Jack’s time was out, and he was prepared tor examination. It took him how ever a year longer than tho usual term.-. Having a day or two to spare, he thought he I would recreate himself with a little trip to tlx* NO. 14.
