Through which our feet may go,

Where pleasant palm-trees grow;

On tho vessel, young Astor had mado tho
acquaintance of a German, who a few years
beforo had emigrated to Amorica, and had
mado considerable monoy in trading furs.
iVttor became Interested, learned all ho
could pertaining to the trade, and resolved
to engage in it. His first thing to do on ar
riving in New York was to find employment
in a fur-dealing house, and thoroughly mas
ter its details, bcirinninjr Ids labors at two
dollars a week and his board. Hero ho be

tho habits and retreats of fur-bearing ani
mals, tiuestloning all who camo iu with
skins to sell, as many of tho hunters did in
person,
no only staid with his omploycr until ho
had mastered tho busiuesj, and then began
for himself. Ho had during this time, how-
ovor, mado ono voyago up tlio Hudson, and
across tho unsettled country to Lakes Oeorgo
and Ghamplain, and finally to Montreal,
where ho proved more than a match for tho
shrewd Indians, and brought back a repu
tation for "driving a hard bargain," which
ho always retained.
In 17S6, in a small storo on Water street,
Mr. Aetor's first ontranco into business took
place. His storo was furnished with a few
toys and notions which would provo attract-
vo to Indian eyes, and there ho began
"dickering" for skin?. His ontiro capital
consisted of only a few hundred dollars,
mado merry over his troubles, and forget part of which had been loaned him by his

founu jolly Jacob Astor on his journey from
liou-o to house, making sausage meat of tho
pig, or othcrwiso preparing the flesh of tho
other animals in tho way tho owner desired,
frequently spending from ono to several days
a few musical instruments from his brother's
store in London, he being tho first person to
establish .1 musical instrument store in Now
York.
His wife, married shortly after ho entered
tho business world for himself, had a thor
ough knowlcdgo of furs, nnd cntored hearti
ly into business with him, for a long timo
lars and a half, and the remaining articles at
a great profit also, and tho return cargo of
tea was sold at a clear profit of a dollar a
pound.
Mr. Astor's profit on this voyago was
$63,000, and it was sent to his storo packed
in barrols. It is needless to say that tho
next ship that sailed with that permit bo
longod to Mr. Astor, and carried an assort
ed careo.
A laughable incident occurred on her ar
rival at Canton, She had touched at tho
Sandwich Islands to tako in fresh water and
provisions, where tho captain took aboard a
largo stock of firewood. Tho firewood was
noticed by a mandarin at Canton tho moment
ho came aboard and ho inquired
"What ts tho price of that?"
Tlio captain smiled to himself at what ho
thought an absurd quettion, but finallyVaid :
"What will you givoV"
Oh, I guess it isvorth fivo hundred dol
lars a ton."
Every splinter of it was sold at that price.
It was sandalwood.
Tho traffic in sandalwood was monopo
lizod by Mr. Astor for nbout seventeen years,
no other concern In England or the United
States knowing the secret. Nor was It finally
discovered till n shrewd ship owner of I!os-
ton detailed a ship to follow ono of Mr. As
tor's and observe every event of the voyage.
In 1830, Mr. Astor began to withdraw a
little from active business, and then took the
first steps toward building tho hotel which
bears his name, but which wo seo is soon to
bo taken down, to givo placo to tho marblo
and brown-stono fronts that commerco asks
for Its haunts.
Mr. Astor was a peculiar man, and in
family matters was as proud and oxclusivo
as though he descended from a king instead
of a butcher. With his family ho was lib

wife used to demand and receive fivo hun

a somewhat freo uso of tho tongue, which
sho used iu a vixenish manner at times with
much tho samo result that attended Damo
Van Winkle's cxerciso of it, though in this
cao it drove the boys from homo to seek
congeniality in tho world at large, and
seemed to havo little ellect on tho easygoing
husband and father.
So out from beneath tho parental roof
went the Astor boys ata comparatively young
age, and inheriting their mother's thrift and
business qualities, fought their way success
fully. Two of tho brothers of our hero had
beaver and other high priced ones. Ac
cordingly it was not long beforo ho foundjit
necessary to go to London with them, as ho
had no agent thero to consign them to. Hi
went out as a steerage pas-ienger, fearing the
re-tilt might prove unsuccessful; but on his
arrival his venture was crowned with moro
success than tho most s.tn''uino would havo
prophesied, Reaver skim which had been
bought from tho trappers in Western New
lork for a dollar sold 111 London for six dol
lars, invested In English goods, netted him
ten in New York. Tho reader will readily
see what an immenso margin of profit was
hero open.
As though this was not sufficiently prom
ising, Mr. Astor during his rambles about
London, waiting for tho vessel to sail on her
return to New York, visited tho East India
a chronometer.
"Veil," said tho merchant, "you puy

of tho old school, brought down his gold
headed cauo on the pavemcmt with empha

paid for."
Mr. Astor's rage, which had been gather

Friendship is the wine of existence, love is

Nothing is so disgusting a3 tho whino of
tenderness; tho mcro cant of feeling, tlio pa

able part of our nature into disrepute, and
prevent many a man from being generous,
lest ho should bo thought ridiculous.
Friendship has a noblo effect upon all
states and conditions. It relieves our cares,
raises our hopes, and abates our fears. A
friend who relates his success talks himself
into a new pleasure, and by opening his
misforunc3 leaves part of them bohind him.
Without a decision of character no manor
