How Isaac Rich Became Rich.

Isaac Rich, who left million and
three-quarters a year or two ago to
found y college in Boston, began
business thus: At eighteen he came
from Cape Cod to Boston with three
or four dollars in his possession, and
looked for something to do. Rising
early, walking far, observing closely,
rejecting much, he soon had an idea.
He bought three bushels of oyster, $,
hired a wheelbarrow, found piece
of board, bought six iron forks,
three cent pepper box, and one or two
other things. He was at the oyster
boat buying his oysters at three
o'clock in the morning, wheeled them
three miles, set up his board near 4
market and began business. He sold
his oysters as fast as he could open
them at a profit. He repeated this
experiment morning after morning,
until he had saved $3.50 with which
he bought horse and wagon and
had five cents left.
"How are you going to board your
horse?" asked stable keeper, who
witnessed the audacious transaction.
81 am going to board him at your
stable"
"But you are minor" replied this
acute Yankee. "And mind, | can't
trust you more than week"
The next morning the lad, who had
established Il good credit with oyster
men, bought thirteen bushels of re-
markedly fine oysters, which he sold
in the course of the day at profit of
$l7. S" he was able to pay his horses
board. And right there IN the same
market he continued to deal in oys-
ters and fish for forty years; became
Il king of that business, and ended
by founding college; thus atfording
n new illustration of Prot. Agassiz'
theory that the consumption of fish is
servicable to the brain.
