Mr. Tolman was a gentleman whose apparent age was of a varying charac- ter. At times, when deep in thought on business matters or other affairs, one might have thought him 55 or 57, or even 60. Ordinarily, however, when things eeere Funning along in a satia- factory,and commonplace way, he ap- peared to be -about 50 years old, while upon e -aorelmazy Occasions, when the world alssumed an unusually attractive aspect, his ago seerecl to run down to 46 or 1 He es the head of iL business firm ; in feet, he was the only member of it. The ft was known as Pusey c Co.: but Pu ey had long been dead; and the "Co.,” f which Mr. Tolman had been a menti en was dissolved. Our elderly hero h ving bought out the business, firm n e and all, for many years had. carried it on with success and profit. His co nting-house was a small and quiet p ace, but a great- deal of money had be n made in it. Mr. Tolman was rich—v ry rich indeed. .And et as he sat in his counting - room o e winter evening he looked his oldeet, He had, on his hat and his over- coat„ s gloves and his fur collar. Every ne else in the establishment had go e home, and he, with the 'keys in his hand, was ready to lock up and lea.te also. He often staid later than .cally one else, and left the keys with ff. Canterfield, the head clerk, as he passed his house on his way home. Mr. Tolman seemed in .no hurry to go. HO simply sat *and thought, and increased his apparent age. The truth • was he dia not want to igo home. He was tired of going home. i This was not because his home was not a pleasant one. N`o single gentleman in the city had a handsomer or more comfortable suite of ooms. It was not because he felt lon ly, or regretted that a• wife and c -h dren did not ' brighten and enliven his home. He was perfect- ly satis 'ed to be a bachelor. The conditio s suited hi-th exactly. But, in spite of all this, he was tired of going home. 1 "I wi h," said Mr. Tolmau to hlm- aelf, "t at I could feel some interest in going h ane- ;" and then he rose and took a rn or two up and. down the room ; ut as that did not seem to give -him an more interest in the matter, he sat down again-. "I wish it were necessary for me to go horde," said he ; "but it ien't ;" and then he fell again to thinking!. "What I need," he said, after a while, "is to depend more upon myself—to feel that I am necessary to myself. Just now I'm not. I'll stop going herne—at least in this way. Where's, the sense in envying other men, when I can have all that they have, jut as well as not ? And I'll have it, oo," said Mr. Tolnaan, as he went ou1 and locked the doors. Once in the st eeta, and walking rapidly, his ideas shaped. themselves easily and readily into a plan which, by the time he reached the house of his head clerk, was qui e matured. Mr. Canterfield Was just oing down to dinner as his employe4 rang the bell, so he openede the door =self. "I will detain yOur but a minute or two," said. Mr. Tolman, handing the keys to tMr. Canterfield. "Shall we step into the parlor ?" When ais employer had gone, and Mr. Cant rfield had joined his family at the 4inner table, his wife imme- diately a lied him what Mr. Tolman wanted. "Only to say that he is going away to- morrow, and that I am to attend to the business, and send his personal letters to —,". naming a city not a hundred miles away. "How ong is he going to stay"' "He di n't say," answered Mr. Can- terfield. te 1 you what he ought to do," said the 1 dy. "He ought to make you a partne in the firm, and then he Could: go 4way and stay as long as he pleased," `.`He ca, do .that now," returned her husband. "He has -made a good maty trips sinoi I have been with him, and things ha e gone on very much in the same way as when he was aere. He knows th t." "But st 11 you'd like to be a, partner ?" "Oh, ye.," said. Mr. Canterfield. "And onamort gratitude o tight to prompt hi to make you one," said his wife. Mr. Tol an went home and wrote a will. He left all his property,. with the .exceptioa Of a few legacies, to the rich- est and most powerful charitable orga,n- ization in the country. People will think ren crazy," said he to him elf, "and if I should die -while I a .carrying out my plan, I'll leave the qask: of defending my sanity to people hoi are able to make a. good. fight for e." And bef re he went to bed he had. his will signe • 11 1 111 and witnessed. The ne t day he packed a truuk and cft for Mt, neighboring city. His apart- ments weife to be kept in readiuess for his return lat any time. If you had seen him walki g over to the railroad depot, you world have taken hire for a man of 45. When he arrived at his destination, Mr. Tolman established himself tem- porarily at a hotel, and- spent the next three or fotir days in walkiug about the' city looking for what he wanted. What he Wanted was rather difficult the matte to himself was suniething to define, ut the way 'in which he put like this: "I'd like to find a sung little place where I cep live and carry on. some business wPaich I can etteud to inyself, and which, will bring me into contact with people of all sorts --people who will inter* me. It must be a smell business, because I don't want to have to work ve y herd, and it must be snug and corefottable, because I want to en- joy it. Isa aid like a shop of soine sort, because th t brings a man face to face with his ie low-ereatures." The city in which he was walking about was ne of the best places in. the country in which to find the place of business h desired. It was full of in- dependent little shops. But Mr. Tol- man could not readily find one which resembled his ideal. A small dry goods establishin nt seemed, to presuppose a female pr. prietor. A grocery store would give him many interesting cus- tomers : b4it he did. not know much about groceries, and the business did not appearite him to possess any ;esthe- tic feature. He was much pleased by a small eh p belonging to a taxider- mist. It ias exceedingly cozy, and the business w e probably not so great an to overwork any one4 the birds and beasts w to be stuffed to some and have him put the dition for the 01180111 But no ; it would be v to engage in a busine knew absolutely not mist ought not to bill when asked some sim •a little dead bird or And so he tore hinesel dow of this fascinat he fancied, had his differently rna,naged, have shown the w. ole of a cheerful ell Venus. The shop which at, suit him best was one passed and looked at fore it struck him fay a small brick house in a si not far from one of avenues of the city. devoted to articles o st small notions of vario s Id to be classified. He had look at three penknive fee card, which vas pro pad little show window, s ppoxl side by a eshess-board with Asia" in gilt letters on the back, a the other by a small v'olie labell dollar;" and as he- g zed past articles into the interi r of the which was now lighte dawned upon him tha thing like his ideal of interesting business pl he would go in and loo not care for a violin e en price marked on the o e in but a new pocket knif mi ful ; so he walked in nd at pocket knives.
