PAYING OFF A LOAN.
The following paragraph is furnished by the Ballarat correspondent of the Pleasant Creek News :
' It was but a few days ago that a Ballarat gentleman, who has not quite as much of this world's riches as he deserves, received from New Zealand a letter containing something representing between £4O and £SO. Enclosed with the welcome document was a short note, which I have been permitted to copy. It ran thus —' Dear Blank—Enclosed find what I hope will prove welcome. In 1867 we met for the last time in the train from Kyneton to Melbourne, and you lent me £2. You tore up my 1.0. U., and said, 'Never mind that ; pay me when you can afford the money better than I can.' You recollect the circumstance of course. Your loan made my capital up to £lO on my arrival in Sydney. That £lO has turned me in £SOO, or nearly, and as I am closing accounts with A., I may as well settle up with you. Yon found onetenth of the capital, and are entitled to an equal participation in the profits. Please find same herewith.'
