FORTUNATE MEN.


Homilies are numerous upon the tex
that every man is the architect of hi.
own fonunc. Yet it appears to US tha
a great many more homIIcs will have &c
be written TO disprove the existence o
what are commonly called Lucky men
Fortune is acknowledged TO be supreme
IN war; and we opinc, that upon close
observation, we shall find the tickle
goddess nearly as potential in the ordi
nary affairs of life. There are men
among US, whose hands seem to be en-.
dowcd with magical faculty OF turning
everything they touch into gold. Moth
ing stagnates or deprecates while sccu.
rel as their property; but manifold in.
crense seems to be as natural as the
growth OF liant in fertile soil. 1t
is impossible to attribute their undevia.
ting success to success to skill, fore.
sight, energy and circumspec,ion. They
frequently undertake carrying ou, plans
which depend uppn so many contingcn.
cies as TO be as incalculable al the re.
suit Of the throw Of dice. They risk
fearlessly. having as much confidence
in the smile Of fortune as Cesar himself
The winds and waves are always favor.
able TO them; and where others, gener.
ely less successful, shrink back over.
whemed with doubts, they advance, as
sured 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 lucky in everything they un.
derlaks 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 rest.
ing upon them. There is mortality in
touch which soon becomes noted, and
partnership with them is generally avoid.
ell. Their ships seldom return to port
in a good condition. Their buildings
are occasionally threatened with fire
Occasionally they are permitted TO raise
TO height on which they fancy them
selves secure; but in the midst Of their
seeming prosperity, they arc hurreI be-
low agair to renew the struggle. But
there is nothing in this contrast Of for.
tunes favorites and oulcasts TO discour.

orally true that energy and skill achieve
