The Boston Daily Journal says there is a man in that city, who during the past year or more has practiced as an apothecary, advertising in one or two of the penny papers in accordance with his profession. Some weeks since his tax bill was sent to him, but as it was not paid, a few days ago he received a note informing him that a warrant had been issued against his estate for the attachment of sufficient thereof to pay the amount of the tax, together with the costs. To this note the delinquent returned the following cool reply in writing:“Dear Sir—I received your very polite note, and though interesting only to myself, would inform you that I should be extremely happy to find myself with $9 and odd, this morning, after seven years sojourn in you goodly city—every thing in the shape of property, personal or otherwise, having vanished long ago. Nothing but a beggarly account of empty bottles (which I was insane enough at one time to advertise for sale, but can not even give away), remain for you. Trusting you may meet with better success among the rest of your acquaintances,
“I am, dear Sir, yours respectfully,
“_______ __. ______
“P.S. Should it be in your power to place me in any position where I might obtain regular meals (however frugal they may be), you will confer favor on
“Yours, etc. _______ __. ______”
That is funny. Thanks for pointing it out as I missed it when I was printing, cutting & scanning to get the post ready.
