"Yon may laugh ifyou will, Susy, there is something in 'luck;' and luck has always been against the Aldens," said John Alden, despond ently to his sister. "How, John?" Susy turned her round, bright face attentively to ward him. 'L::ok at grandfather, George Alden and his sons! Why, their es tate was the richest on the Ohio shore. They lived like Irish kings, I've heard people say, and excepting father they a"l died penniless." "Grandfather Alden, I am sorry to say, was too fond of horse-racing and cards to keep money long, and his sons, excepting father, all drank," said Susy, daily. 'l iving like Irish kings, too, is not the most secure way of keeping a fortune." "Well, now, look at me," contin ued John, w:lh the scowl on his face unaltered. "I neither drink nor gamble, nor care for the turf, I'm nineteen, and I've tried honestly to do my duty in every way." "Well, John?" "Well" snappishly "see the difference between me and George Harvey. At school, study as hard as I would, he carried off all the prizes. I was the dull plodder, he the brilhant scholar, the genius. When visitors came, I heard him poiuted out invariably as 'Harvey, sir. A most promising, fellow. He'll make his mark in the world.' I was passed by without a word. When we go into society it is the same thing. 1 take the nsmost pains to be polite and attentive to the girls, and Harvey laughs, and qtiizz s, and is positively rude to then?. Yet he is 'splendid' and 'facinating,' and the nicest girls are proud to have him for a partner, while I am endured on sufferance. There is precisely the same difference in business. In ev ery way he is favored by fortune and I am slisrhted-." "I do not see that, John," said Susy, gravely, "George has a showy dasfay manner which commands at tention to whatever he knows. But people soon find out how little thai. is. Eyen the girls, in the long run" "I hate the 'long run!'" cried Job", impatiently. Susy was silent. She knew very well that this outbreak was ajl ?wiug to the fact that Laura Faulke had showed Jme attention to George Harvey the night before. "He al ways did care too much for Laura Faulke's opinion since they went to the primary school together," thought.Susy, indignantly. "And as for business," she said aloud, "'I do not see that George has any advan tage over you in his position. You both have been left farms, both are ndependent, both have the means of making a sure though not a large ncome." "Now that shows just how little you know about it. Harvey's farm numbers just the same amount of acres that mine does, it is H'ue, But his is on the souih side of the creek, in rich alluvial soil, mine on the hillside, where nothing vill grow but pins trees and Jimson weeds." "Hello ! What's the matter, Jack?" said Squire Hall, riding up to the porch op his gray mare. "I was grumbling about my patch here, to tell the truth. It will yield nothing; absolutely nothing." "Don't be loo sure of that , -my boy, Come out here a bit," beckoning him mysteriously aside. They whispered for some time to gether, and then John came in, his face flushed and his eyes ' glowing. "There's great news, Susy ! Oil has been discovered in the bottom, and a company from New York have sent on inspectors to test the property on either side the creek; among the rest, Harvey's and mine. If there are any indications of oil being there we can ask our own price for the land." "O John, I knew all would go well with you!" The little girl's face was pretty aud sparkling, and her brother stop pod and kissed it heartily. "The inspection is to be made to morrow, and then I'm made or lost for life. If only luck is not against me !" "dod will be for you in any case, John," said Susy gently. But "luck" to John Alden which came in visible good fortune of dol lars and cents .or even praise, was a much more real thing than the un seen power which his sister worship ed so faithfully. He rose next morning with a hag gard face, which showed he slept but little. "To-da.y," he said to Susy, "it will be all settled. The inspector from New York will be here by 10-o'clock. In an hour he can tell if there is any oil on the land. He is an expert you understand. If there be any I will sell and build a house like Squire Peters', only larger. And then, Susy who knows? I might marry. I am as old as Ben Scott." "Yes, that is true." She could not bear to discourage him by a bint of defeat. He watched .nervously by the door for the rnn to appear, and when he saw themcom ing the New York expert, ofie or two of the proposed stockholders in the new company, and Squire Peters himself he snatched up his hat and hurried down the road to meet them. Even Susy's heart throbbed fast. She told herself in vain that it -.vas not a matter of life and death: it seemed to her as though her own' fat as well as John's depended up on a few words to be spoken in the coming half hour. The hour passed. She had seen the groups of men passing from point to point of the farm, until they turned to the right of a big red barn and disappeared in the corn-patch After that they were lost to pijht. Noon came! One "o'clock! The dinner was ready, but she. dsred not sound the horn.- The inspection was no doubt successful, and they were now chaffering for the sale of the farm. Would they give the money in cash ? Hundreds thousands a million? Susie's ideas on the subject of Ibe price of oil lands were very unsettled. Two o'clock came at last, and the dinner, do w?iat she would, was dried to a crisp. Just as the clock -struck, Squire Peters and the stranger from New York rode oast the door. Susy could not help listening intently for any chance words she might hear. "The Ifjnd for the purposes of cul tivation," said the squire, "is worth less, perfectly worthless." "Think so, eh? Now, near New York, a man would make it pay gold to the foot," looking with half shut eyes down at the ground. "How?" "Berries. Finest varieties of ber rie;" and with that they passed out of sight. Still John did not come in. At last Susy put on her sun-bonnet and went through the garden, the truck patch, the woods, in search of him. She found him, after a long search, among the hay-mowsj lying on his I face, his'head covered with his arms. "O John, what is it ?" He would not answer for a while. Then he raised his head. "It's my luck!" he said savagely with an oath siuh as never crossed his lips before. "There will be a full yield on George Harvey's farm, and on mine" 'On yours?" breathlessly. "Not a drop. Now let me alone! I want no pity;" and he stalked away into tho woods. But every cup, no matter how bit ter, is drained at last. Months passed by, George Harvey received from the company a sum for his land which to his neighbors appeared a princely fortune. Derricks and mills are built. The oil poured out like water. A branch railroad was built from the city to the "Harvey Mills." Harvey himself bade the village good-bye, and went to one ot the Eastern cities to live. Reports soon came back of his lavish extravagance, of Parisian clothes, -of diamonds, blooded horses. "Harvey lives like a prince," peo ple sajd to John Alden. "He does credit to his native town." If there was no sarcastic emphasis on the pronoun" meant, John fancied it. As for himself, he was in a mor bid, sullen despair for about a year. Nobody would buy his land except for oil. It was an elephant on his hands. - At 'last, being young and hopeful, and with St;sy to urge him on, he determined to make use of his ele phant. "What are you going to do, Jack?" queried Squire Peters. "Digging up your sheep-walk ?" "Yes; berries," was Jack's crusty answer. The squire smiled compassionately and passed on. Four years later Squire Peters W&sgAvortingSK -Mr. Hudson, from the West, about the neighborhood. "Here is J,he famous 'Harvey Mill,' he-aaid, "which ran out in three yrhrs, or but litlle more. Com pany broke up .terrible smash. The young fellow to whom the land be longed, too that was a worse wreck than one of mere capital. Very prom ising lad; a little frothy, superficial, to be sure. But he shared the fate of many to Whom the oil fever brought sudden fortune. Unexpect ed success seemed to go to his brain and made him heady. He took to extravigant dressing rirst, then danc ing, card playing, and at last the bottle. You may see him hanging round the tavern-door now, a poor, penniless sot." They passed down the road still talking of the lamentable effects of the oil. speculation on the slow-going, steady farmers, when the stranger stopped suddenly. "Alia! This looks like enterprise ! Whose work is this?" "Now, that," said the squire, strok ing his chin conpiaceiit'.v, rrsiL is specimen of what a different of young men from poor Geor Harvey can do. A miserable sto patch of a hillside which had jj. luck to belong a young feJRojv Alden. He had the idea ot racing fine ti ait; bought the finest variety of berries, spared no expense in manur ing his ground or advertising his crops. Now, sir, ho has doubled his land, and commands the market in the Western cities. Some men are born to an inheritance of luck." "Or of common sense. Married?" "No. Lives with, his sister, as nice a little girl as the country side would yield. But should not wonder if the young fellow would marry some of these days. There's a cer tain young lady in the next town that cny man might be proud to marry; but no matter about that. This piece of work before you is not the result of luck as you sec but of downright labor and skill. And the whole town is benefited by the young man's enterprise and success." Be Polite A sailor, roughly dressed, was strolling through the streets of New Orleans then in rather a damp con dition from recent rain, and rise of tide. Turning the corner of a much frequented and narrow alley, he ob served a young lady standing in per plexity, evidently measuring the depth of the muddy water between her and the opposite side-walk, with no very satisfied countenance.' The sailor paused, for he was a great admirer ot beauty, and the fail face that peeped from under the lb tle chip hat might tempt an admiring glaRce. Perplexed, the lady put forth one little fjot when the gallant sailor, with impulsiveness, exclam'ed:- "That pretty little foot, lady, should not be soiled with the filth f the lane. Wait a moment, only, and I will make a path for yon." So, springing pasc her into a car panter shop opposite, he bargained for a plank board that stood in the doorway, and, coming back to the smiling girl, who was just coquettish enough to except the service of a handsome young sailor, he bridged the narrow, black stream, and she tripped across with a merry "Thank you," and a roguish smile. " Alas! Our young sailor was per fectly charmed. What else would make him catch and shoulder the plank, and follow the little witch through the streets to her home. She twice performed the ceremony of walking the plank, each time thanking him with one of her pretty smiles. Presently our young hero saw" the lady trip up the marble steps of a palace of a house and disappear with in the rose-wood entranced For full The Gazette Job Priiif Officer is complete in every respect, and are prepared to nil kinds of At -Reasonable Rates.

Poor Jack was speechless with amazement. He had not dreamed of being exalted to the dignity of a second mate's office on board one of the most splen did ships that ever sailed out of the port of New Orleans. Ho knew o was complete; for; instead of spend ing his money for amusements, visit ing theatres and bowling alleys, on his return from sea, he purchased books, and had become quite a 'stu dent, but he expected years would intervene leforc his ambitious hope would be tealized. His superior officers favored himj an I gave him opportunities to gath er nautical knowledge, and in a year the gentlemanly young mate had acquired unusual favor in the eyes of the portly commander, Capt. Hume, who had taken the smart black-eyed felloiv as a cflfbin boy. - .' . One night the young man, with all the other officers, was invited to an entertainment at the Captain's housel He went, and to his astonishment, mounted the same steps that two years before the young lady had pass ed over a vision he had never for gotten. Thump, thump, went his brave heirt as he was ushered into the parlor, and like a sledge hammer ;t beat again, when Capt, Hume brought. forward his daughter, andr leasant smile, said: i r ourig lady, was once indebt. kindness for a safe and oupte as "pretty la It was only that the seco e as- ot tsKandflome a a! lant sailor and too ear from that time le Epd the quar ter-deck second only command and part owner with the' Captain not only in his vessel, but irt the af . fections of his daughter, who had al ways chensned a respect lor tne baudsome sailor.
