Show Left Agentleman on Third street yesterday displayed to an acquaintance a beautiful diamond Thank you for allowing me to enjoy apart I a-part of your possessions said the man In what way inquired the owner of I the stone Why you have permitted me to look at it and that is all you can do But it is mine My money is mine I can buy fine clothes with it And I can look at them and see more of them on you than you can yourself But I can buy rich foods 1 shall myself eat as heartily But see here I will give this poor man five dollars which accordingly did There you have the advantage of me You enjoy the pleasure of a kind act which I until I perform the same I cannot share I I will contribute five dollars and thus get even with you which he did Now said the diamond owner we are both in the same boat are we Certainly I I Thats where you are left I owed the man the five dollars t gave him while you didnt owe him a cent Good daySt Paul Globe |
