One of nototis lcst known merchants, noted for his shrewdness and fiictrriin, had a test c:tM presented a short time since ami came oft victorious. As il i an illus tration of thi millionaire's penetration in j great buii.es affairs, we give the story tu re. It appear that the merchant wanted another gardener upon his country estate, nea.- Ibsston, and an individual presented himself for that otliee. rmlerstand the business " 44 Yes, Is-en in it for year." Whom had he lived w ith 1 it ? The applicant mentioned a gentleman the merchant wa well aequainted with, tttatetl that he left for no fault, but that his former employer wa going to Kuroje, had sold his estate, and hail no further use lor him. 44 What wage do you ex(cct ?' 44 Kightecn dollar a month." This wit astonishingly low for such a promising looking, sober man, and the shrewd business man ribt-d bis chin thoughtfully and reflecn-d that it wa a bargain lot ; but 44 w asrt't there something wrong alxuit it?" Hi habitual btisine ciution even in t'd comparatively trifling negotiation did not forsake liim. " Call to-morrow, at thl time, and I ill have seen Mr. , yoor former employer, an.l give you an answer." 'I'lit? gardener turned and N-gan to walk slowly away ; as be did so he displayed two (tatche on the seat ol hi pantaltMins ta-nenth the line of In roundabout jacket. "Hallo! here! comeback here," called the merchant ; 44 you needn't apply tomorrow ; 1 see I shan't want you. ' The atoni-hed applicant stammered out something about his knowledge of gardening ami good character, but was cutoff short by thi practical olncrver. 4Dout want you. sir; the patc'ies on your breeches are cm th wrong side.
