Ole Harry and Ole Nick — 119
When Nicholas Biddle, familiarly called Nick Biddle, was connected with the United States Bank, there was an old negro named Harry, who used to be loafing about the premises. One day, in a social mood, Biddle said to the darkey, “Well, what is your name, my old friend?” “Harry, sir—ole Harry,” said the other, touching his seedy hat. “Old Harry,” said Biddle; “why, that is the name they give to the devil, is it not?” “Yes, sir,” said the coloured gentleman; “sometimes ole Harry and sometimes ole Nick.”
