THE FLORISTS' BOY. 



The florist's boy looked wise beyond 

 his years. He stood in the car with a 

 large set piece beside him, a floral harp 

 with broken string. 



Every eye in the car was on that 

 piece. Old gentlemen looked sentimen- 

 tal. Middle aged gentlemen looked at 

 it with a mingled air of chastened sym- 

 pathy and melancholy. Young men 

 looked lugubrious. 



As for the women in the car, it was 

 all they could do to restrain their tears. 



The florist's boy wore an air of re- 

 signed dejection suitable for the occa- 

 sion. At times this was overshadowed 

 by a blase look of one who is used to 

 these things. Occasionally he took a 

 large bulb from his pocket and profes- 

 sionally squirted water over the harp. 

 Tlie adjacent gentlemen, who were sim- 

 ultaneousl.v sprinkled, pretended not to 

 notice it. Tliey felt that they were be- 

 ing dampened down in a good cause. 



As the car approached the Christopher 

 street ferry the florist's boy produced a 

 large sign and hung it over the harp.

While the passengers were drinking 

 in this sign, the florist's boy distributed 

 cards giving special prices on broken 

 harps and other set pieces. 



The car stopped. The boy carefully 

 carried out the set piece and took up 

 a commanding position in an eastbouni! 

 car. The conductor grinned. He wore 

 a large carnation. 



"Say," he inquired, "how much lon- 

 ger are you going to carry that up and 

 down? Boomin' business, are you?" 



Tlie florist's boy winked with a wise 

 look far beyond his years. But he didn't 

 smile. He had high hopes of being a 

 sexton some day and a wink was his 

 limit. — New York Sun, Jan. 13.
