As they went along he said to the man: "My friend, you arc young and I am old; you can still earn plenty. Strike a paru "Willingly !" replied the porter. Thi» request was repeated ag: again, unt I, when they reached th ain and e house, the porter had only a single para to re «•eive. As they went up stuire the merchant »aid : "II you will resign the last para I will give you three pieces of advice." "Be it so," said the porter. "Well, then," said the merchant, "if any one tells you It. is better to be lasting th n (easting, do uot believe him. If any ou« tells you It Is better to be poor than rieh d« not believe hint. If any one tells you it it netter to walk than ride iu your carriage cte uot believe him." " My dear sir," replied the astonished imiter, " I knew those things belore ; bu. if you will listen to nie, I will give you such advice as you never heard before." The merchant turned around and th« porter, throw ing the basket down the stair case, said : "II anyone teils you that one of your vases is unbroken, do uot believe him." Before, the merchant could reply, the porter made his escape, thus puuishing hi» employer for his greediness. : ; Didn't XVI «It to Interfere.
