me,' says tho cunning operator, \u2018two ' bundled thousand shares at tho present figure, and 1 will hnnd over the nine raillions; ou it» advance 1 will make up a good part of the loss.\" And so, with his pilfering.» ns a hear and his penitence as a hull, Im uses tlm one and then tho other, making liie thrifty providence pay tho cost of his tardy virtue.It is a peculiar account\u2014 t his ai count of Gould with his virtue.Debit splf-suciillciug virtue with nine million* of plumier returned : credit calculating virtu* with proHte on the advance of two hundred thousand or more shares, the elfcct on th* market of his unexpccteil honesty;
