The Reward of Courtesy. A few years since, on a radiant spring nftcrnoiUi, two men, who, from their con versation, nppeard to Ire foregners, stoopped before the gue of one of the large workshops in Philadelphia for the manufacture of loco motive engines. Entering a small office, the elder of the two men acquired of the super intendent if he would permit them to inspect lho works. “Yon can pass in, and look about,’! said the superintendent, vexed apparently, at bung disturbed’ tW'tbe'perusal of his news piper.. He then scanned the two strangers more closely. They were respectably but plainly clad, and evidently made no profess ion to official dignity of any kind. “You must pick your own way gentle man,” replied the superintendent, “we are all too busy to attend to every body that comes along. I’ll thank you not to interrupt the workmen by asking questions.” It was not so much the matter as the manner of this ’ reply, that was offensive to Mr. Wolf and bis companion. It was spoken with a c-rminly official assumption of superiority mingled with contempt for bis visitors, indi cating a haughty and selfish (temper, on the part of the speaker. “I think we wiH not trouble you, said Mr. Wolf, bowing ; and taking his companion’s arm they passed out. “If there’is anythin" 1 heartily dislike, it is incivility,” said Mr. Wolf, when they were in the street. “I do not blame the man for not wishing to show us over the establish ment ; he is no doubt interrupted by many heedless visitors, but he might have dissmised us away belter content with a gracious lefusal than with an ungracious consent.” ‘•Perhaps,’’ said the other, we shall have better luck here,” and they stopped before another workshop of a similar kind. They were received by a brisk little man, the head clerk, apparently, who, in reply to their request to be shown over the establish m nt, answered, ”0, yes! come with me g'ltilemen—this way.” So saying, he hur riod them along the area strewed with iron bars broken and rusty wheels of iron, frag ments of old boilers and cylinders, into the principal workshop. Here without stopping to explain any one thing, he led the stran g- rs along, with the evident intention of get- Ing ritl of them as possible. They paused where the workmen were riveting external eastings of u boiler, the clerk looked at his w i ch, lapped jwith his foot ngiinst an iron tube, and showed other signs of impatience ; whetcupon Mr. Wolf remarked,” “we shall not detain you longer, sir,” and with this he took his leave. “That man is an improvement on the other,” said Mr. Wolf, “all the civility he has is on the surface ; it does not come from the heart. We must look further.” The sirnngera walked on nearly halfamilein silence, when one of them pointed to an humble sign, with a picture of a locomotive engine with a train of cars underneath. It overtopped a small building not more than tm feet in height, comm micating with a yard and workshop. “Look,” said the oh-, server, “here is a machinist whose name is not on our list.” “Probably it was thought 100 small a concern for our purpose,” said his companion. “Nevertheless, let us try it,” said Mr. Wolf. They entered, and found at the desk, a middle-aged man, whose somewhat grim aspect and apton around his waist, showed that he divided his labors be tween his workshop and the counting-room. “We wnnLlo look over your works, if you*have no objections.” “It will give me great pleasure to show you all that is to be seen,” said the mechanic with a pleased alacrity, ringing a bell, and telling the bov who entered to take charge of the office. He then led the way, and Ex plained to the strangers the whole process of erecting u locomotive engine. He showed them how various pans of the machinery were manufactured, patiently answered all their questions. He told them the mode of tubing boilers, by which the power of gen erating steam was increased, and showed with what care he provided for security from • bursting. Two hours passed rapidly away. The strangers were delighted with the intelfi gcnce-displayed by the mechanic, and with his frank, unsuspicious manners. Here is a man who loves his profession so well, that he takes.pleasure in explaining its rmsleries to all who can understand them,” thought Mr. Wolf. •‘1 am afraid we have given you n great deal of trouble,” said the other stranger.” “Indeed, gentlemen 1 have enjoved your visit,” said the mechanic, “and 1 shill bo glad to see you again.” “Perhaps you may,” said Mr. Wolf, and the two strangers departed. Five months elapsed after, as the mechanic whose means were limited, sal in his office meditating how hard it was to get business by such large es tablishments as were his competitors, the two s'rangers entered. He gave them a hearty welcome, handed chairs, and all sal down. “We come,” said Mr. Wolfe, “wiih n proposition to you from the Emperor of Rus sia to visit St. Petersburg.” “From the Emperor] Impossible!” “Here are our credentials.” “But gentlemen,” said the now agitated mechanic,-“what does this mean ? llow have 1 earned such an honor ?” “Simply by your straight-forward, cour tesy and frankness, combined with profes sional intelligence,” said Mr. Wolf. Because wo are strangers you did not think it neces sary -lo treat us with distrust or coldness. You saw we were really interested in ac quainting ourselves with your work and you did not ask us, before extending to us your civilities, what letters of introduction we brought. You measured us by the dignities we have exhibited.” The mechanic visited St. Petersburg, and soon afterwards removed his whole establish, ment. He hid imperial orders for ns many locomotives as he could construct. He has lately returned to his own country, and is still receiving large returns from his Russia workshop. And all his property grew out of unselfish civility to two strangers, one of whom was the secret agent of the Czar of Russia!
