entering the store and at once accosted Jem,
stating that be was in search of Job.
'What kind of job?" inquiring the wag.
"Oh. almost ANYTHING i want to get a kind
of ginteel job; I'm tired o'farman', an kin
turn nv hand to most anything"
"Well,we want a mana good, strong, healthy
man. as sample clerk"
whats the wages?"
"Wages are good; we pay s. 900 to a man in
that situation"
"What's fellow have to Go?"
"Oh, merely to test medicines, that's all. 1t
requires a stout man one OF good constitution,
and after he gets used to it. he doesn't mind it.
You see, we are very rcIticular about the
quality of our medicines, and before we sell
any, we test every parcel. You would be re-
qnired to take-say six or seven ounces of cas-
tor oil some days, with few doses Of rhubarb,
aloes, Croton oil, and similar preparations.-
Some davs YOU would not be required to take
anything; but, as q general thing,yOu can count
upOn-say SIX or ten doses of something daily
As to the work, that does not amount to much

pal labor requited of you; and, as I said before,
it requires a person of very healthy organiza-
ton to endure it; but you look hearty, and l
guess YOU would suit MS. That young man
poihting to very pale faced. slim looking
youth. who happened to be present-has filled
the post for the past two weeks; but he IS hard

FoRTuNATE MEN.-Homilies are numerous
upon the text that every man is the architect
of his own fortune. Yet it appears to us that
great many more homilies will have to be
written to disproVe the existence of what are
commonly called lucky men. Fortune is ac-
knoWledged to be supreme in war and, we
opine, that upon close observation we shall
find the tickle goddess nearly as potential in
the ordinary affairs of life. There are men
among Ms, whose hands seemed to be endow-
ed with a magical faculty of turning every
thing they touch into gold. Nothing stag
mates. Oh depreciates while secured as their
- 7~.e-'a but a manifold increase. seems to
-sse5s the rapid growth Of a plant.
in fertile soil. 1t is impossible to attribute
their undertaking success to skill, foresight,
energy and circumspection. They frequent
ly undertake to carry out plans, which de-
pend upon so many contingencies as to be in
calculable as the result of the dice. They
risk fearlessly, having as much confidence in
the smile Of fortune as Caesar himself The
winds and waves are always favorable to
them; and where others less generally sue
cessful shrink back overwhelmed with doubts,
they advance assured of the prize.
The fortunate men are set in bold contrast
with those who may be termed the architects
Of ruin. They are SO uniformly unlucky in
every thing they undertake which has the
least dependence upon contingencies, that
they may be said to enter upon the execution
of their scheme with the shadow of cloud
resting upon them. There is a mortality in
their touch which soon becomes noted. and a
partnership with them is generally avoided.
Their ships seldom return to port in good
condition. Their buildings are continually
threatened with fire. Occasionally they are
permitted to rise to height on which they
fancy themselves secure but in the midst of
their seeming prosperity, they are hurled be-
low again to renew the struggle. But there
is nothing in this contrast of fortunes favor
ties and outcasts to discourage efforts of en-
terprise, for it is generally true that energy
and skill achieve success.

The OYsTER.-Open an oyster, retain the
liquor in the lower or deep she'll, and if view
ed through microscope it will be found to
contain multitudes of small oysters, covered
with shells, and swimming nimbly about
one hundred and twenty of which extend but
one inch. Besides these young oysters, the
liquor contains variety of animalcule, and
myriads of three distinct species of worms.
Sometimes their light resembles blush star
about the centre of the shell. which will be
beautifully luminous in a dark room.
