ll on her. I wouldn't give Callie for a dozen of her. She
is pretty enough, sweet enough and all that. But I think Callie has the
best head of the two, and knows how to take care of money."
At the appointed time the double wedding took place, and the four
families drove to the parsonage in four carriages. The two brides never
looked so beautiful, nor were the young grooms ever so proud as when
they gazed upon them as they met in the parlor of the parsonage.
They drove from the parsonage to Delmonico's for supper, where they
remained two hours at the table.
Young as they were, they did not put on any frills, but drove home after
the supper, and began life like the sensible people they were.
Thus ends the story of how two boys made their fortunes in Wall street.
They soon became one of the strong institutions of the city.
Halsey & Company frequently met with reverses, but their gains were far
ahead of their losses.
By the time they were old enough to vote they were rated as
millionaires, and each was a father. They are now in the prime of life,
and yet still known as the boy bankers.
Next week's issue will contain "ALOW AND ALOFT; OR, THE DASHING BOY
HARPOONER."
