A STORY OF THE ROTHSCHILDS.

II the following is not true, it deserves to be:— A few years ago, an old aud trusted cashier of one of the Rothschild's establishments went to his employers and told them that during the thirty years of his service with them he had managed to save the sum of 250,000 francs, and desired to go into business for himself. While the firm regretted to lose so faithful a mau, they bade him good luck. * The cashier began to speculate, and ija a very short time returned to his old omployers asking for reinstatement, and telling them he had been " wiped out." He was given his old position and was advanced one year's salary. One day one of the Rothschilds took their old seivant aside and told him to invest what he had iv ceitaiu securities. The old man did so, and the stocks wont booming upward. The banker had iustructed the brokers to send prices skyward. Finally tho old cashier was told to sell. He sold, and bis profits woro exactly tho 250,000 francs ho had lost. Prices settled down to their old point, and the Kothschilda charged up a losa of that amount to themselves. They know their employee was too proud to accept a gift, and they took this means to reimburse him.
