A FORTUNE IN a WoRD,---I heard, the
other day, Of a profitable transaction made
by two young Israelites, who recently arrlv-
cd here pennicss and in rags, which. for
shrewdncss and success, has seldom been
equaled. They were walking about town
boking for employment, when they noticed
in the custom house quantity of slightly
damaged coffee advertised to be sold at aue-
ton in few days. At once forming their
plan of operations, they Immediately visited
various Wholesale dealers and offered to
secure them coffee at five per cent. dis
count.
Tli was accepted, and orders received
from reliable firms enough to cover the whole
cargo in the custom house. On the day Of
the sale. these two poverty stricken men
were among the crowd of dealers assembled
to inspect the various sack Of coffee. When
the bidding commenced, these two venture
some ones bid very low. The crowd looked
at the DOOR devils once, thinking they want
"a a sacksof frHo, let their hid remain good,
and it was knocked down to them at an ex-
tremcly low figure.
GLOW much do you want. more than one
SACK" inquired the auctioneer.
THE whole cargo, sir" he quickly rcpll-
ed.
There was a general laugh at their au-
dacity. which increased when the auetioneer
mockingly asked for their security. But
the tables turned when the poor men very
quietly drew out orders from leading mer-
chants, whose genuineness could not be
denied and these hours before paupers
found themselves possessed of eighty thou
sand dollars, without expending one cent to
obtain it, or seeing the coffee at all.
