was applied to not very long since by an artizan,
a worker in the prer.iout metals; fa; a flawing
I' intended to be a model for a spoon, He executed
several, from which the goldsmith made his selec
tam, and asked the artist What he should pay liim-
The asuman' wag., "Nothing at all "Since you
insist upon renintrz e a matter of business," replied
the artist, " you mar give me thirty arl!lars." The I t
man was paid,. the goldsmith took the drawing, and
sometime afterwaills meetidg, the artist said to
him. " I shall make ten thousand dollars by your
drawin4. The spoon i made according to your
model cannot be frmislied as fast as I have orders
for them. I have fong 6d the idea of a spoon made
somewhat like your pattern, and if I had been able
to draw ; I might as well bare made the ten thou-
