Our New Mayor.--We heard yesterday, the
following Republican anecdote of our new NUM-
cipal first magistrate, and we believe it has not
before been in print, though if so we wonder ii
was not used in tho late canvass. Mr.. HAVE.
MEYER was educated at Columbia College, where
he took his degree with great credit to himself
The day after his release from Alma Mater, he
was Standing with his father, on the steps of the
Iugar bakery, and the old gentleman took the op-
portunisy to inquire into his choice Of professions
q! suppose, now you havo your education said
he, "you will be lawyer or physlcian!'--
"Neithor!" said the son. Sand wha, then" ex-
claimed the father, little surprised at his sons
decision ain the first place, sir, Pll drive that
cart" was the firm reply. "and when have been
through all the subordinate steps Of your busl-
ness, III share in the direction Of it, with your
leave!" He 'suted the action to the word,' for
calling to the man who was about leaving the
door with load. he jumped upon the cart, took
the rcns and commenced his apprenticeship. He
drore cart for year, and rose gradually, through
oil the stations of his fathers employ till he final
Iy became partner, and an able one, in the bu-
slness. Ifthis is not a "peop'e's man." we have
mistaken the chrysas.-N. Y. Mirror.
