Quick VII Wins.

Years ago, into IL wholesale grocery
store in Boston, walked u tall, mus
cular-looking man, evidently q fresh
conner from some backwoods town in
Maiuc or Now Hampshire. Accost-
ing tho first person ho mot, who hap
poued TO be the merchant himself,
ho asked
lyon don't want to hire a man in
your store, do you 2
"Woll, said the merchant, 4 don t
know what can you do ?
"Do?' said tho man II rather
guess | can turn my hand to almost
anything-what do you want done ?
swell if | was 10 hire man, it
would be one that could lift well,
strong,wiry fellow one for instance
that could shoulder q sack of coffee
like that younder, aud carry it ac-
cross tho floor and never lay It
down.
There, now Captin,' said the
countryman, that's just mo. j can
lift anything | hitch to; you can't
suit me better What will you give
n man that will suit you 2
"I'll tell you,' said tho merchant,
"If you will shoulder that sack of
coffee and carry it across tho store
twice and never lay it down, / will
hire you a year at 500 per month.
"Doue, said the stranger, and by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and waited to join
in the laugh against the man, who
walking up to the sack, threw it ~
cross his shoulder with perfect ease,
though extremely heavy,and walking
with it twice across the store went
quietly to large hook which was
fastened to the wall, and hanging it
up turned to the merchant and said;
"chere, now, it may hang there
till doomsday: / shall never lay it
down. What shall go about, mis-,
tor Just give me plenty to do aud
500 per month, and it's all right. .
Tue clerks broke into a laugh, and
the merchant, discounted yet satiso
fed, kept his agreement, and to-day
the green countryman is the senior
partner 10 the firm, and is worth a
million dollars.
