Words for the Wise

I had received this name through one of my kind friends.

"Mr. J—— paid a dollar, and wants it stopped."

"Well?"

"Mr. K—— paid; also, Mr. L—— and Mr. M——."

"Well?"

"Mr. N—— says the paper is not left for him; but for a young man who has gone West. Thinks you had better stop it."

I erased the name.

Mr. O—— paid the agent."

"He never returned the money."

Mr. P—— and Mr. Q——, ditto."
