" The Banker and hts Customer. —Old Mr. Lefevre, (lie father of the lafe Speaker of the House of Commons, and the principal founder of Curries and Co.'s house in Cornhill, illustrated the theory of banking one day to a customer in a significant manner. The customer in question was one oi those men who find it very convenient to have bad memories. His account was almost always overdrawn, and'whenever spoken to on the subject his answer was the same— he really had forgotton how it stood. At last Mr. Lefevre, who had watched his opportunity, caught him one day at the counter, and said to him, " Mr. -, you and I must understand one another

something better than we seem to do. I am afraid you don't know what banking- is ; give me leave to tell you. It's my business, to take care of your money, but I find you are always taking care of mine. Now, that is not banking, Mr. : —; it must be the other way ; I'm the banker, not you: you understand me now, Mr. ?"
