HIS FIRST BUSINESS EXPERIENCE.
Horace Danton was'eighteen yeafsidf*age,
living at home-witk his father and 'mother,
and ' two
,sisters• younger .than' himself, in- a
small town •ia Coitnecticut.
Horace :bad-been in the millinery business
in that town for two , years. But the employer
" up:and•busted one -day, leaving. ambitious
- Horace on his oars.
So , Horace talked incessantly about-going to
N aw= York. -or 80...t0n, and engaging in some
kin& of business there. He was tired of small
places, he said ; felt Confident , that in , a great
city' he should. ere long be . enabled to.goi.into
business-far , himself, and make money band
over fiSt!'
His parents opposed the idea. His, sisters
tried to dissuade': In: vain.: • He felt. that he
had the eleinents of a great salesman irr him ;
and one , day, feeling' partioulatly gloomy.and
sullen,' on account of.a shishy snotv,storm,
whichitinade ',the small town,: look:duller and
tuoretlike a wilderness than—over, he avowed
;that , he would travels todone ,or, the otherof

In course of the argument, the uncle ;of
Horace •arrived, and hearing.of his desperate
idea, Strove , to sneer ,him out of it.. t ,
"Why, here, Horace," •said he ; "here ,is a
new map- of thdifornia—you know, the c fever

Q:300
BY W. 0. EATON
GREENCASTLE, PA., TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1864
They were still falling, or rather running down,
blinding the eyes of a few stragglers who wad
ed, slipping, through the slush, half-covered
with the adhesive but quick melting flakes,
which made them look quite sheepish. Pad
dles and rivulets, here and there, diversified
the way, in most uncomfortable frequency, and
the pitiless clouds showed no sign of exhaus
tion.
"But I will sell a map !" muttered brace,
as he resolutely plunged on through the snowy
mire. go it blind."
And so he did,. for much of the tune, the
rude shower pelting his wrinkled eyes, and
Clogging his eyelashes, clinging, to his hair,
and soaking through his clothes, especially his
boots;:which were thin and old and had holes
in them. . .
Wherever he saw a human face at a win
doW, he walked up to the door and rang or
kiMeked.
"Want to buy a map ?"
"A map ? No."
"Map of Cal—"
Bang would go the door, and away he would
"Might have waited till I had told what
kind of a map it was," thoUght he.
Up at another door. Ring. Open.
"Have a map of California ?"
"Map of California?. Why, everybody's
got .
a map of California. That's on the map
of the United States."
"But this is a large one, just out."
"No ; don't want any."
"Only twenty-five cents; let me—"
"Tell yer we don't want it. Twenty-five
cents won't make us want it, will it ?"
"But don't you' knowtliiit the fever's just
broke out ?"
"I'll tell you what—you'll be likely to catch
•
a fever, if you go around, such a day as this
in the snow, trying to•sell maps.";
"If you've such a particular regard for my
health, perhaps you'll buy this map, and let
me go home. It's the only one I have left."
"You'd better keep it then, for your own
use. Good-bye. Don't get lost in the snow,
or drowned in any of these ponds"
will sell a map, by thunder," lie would
'ejaculate, "even if it snows hasty-pudding,
after that. I've come so far, I'll never go
back, until I sell this map."
Another door. ,Knock. Open—after wait=
.
ing five minutes in the shower, drenched to
the skin. The old lady who, came had been
a-bcd, weary of sitting up, looking at the
storm :
"Got a splendid map of California, ma'am,
. _
the land' of gold, just out, only twenty-five
cents. You'd better have it."
•'What did you say the price oil% was?'
"Only a quarter. Just ldolc at it." And
he displayed it, trying
.to step iUside the door
out of the torrent. `She pushed him out
again.
!'Take care. Don't come inside, ea ild.
You're as wet as a mop-rag, :"
• . "
"4ut I don't want to spoil my map.
,
And anxious to showhOWl4. - ge it icas, he
bent foiward, so as to..shelter it, till be nearly
*bioke his back. • •
"rii gin ye ten cents —and it's money
ihrowed away; for I don't want it!'
"And you couldn't have it, if you did, by
Jupiter, ma'am, at that price.: Do A you sup
pose I've been walking all over town this
storm, to sell a map for ten cents
"Well ? I didn't tell ye to: . Anil do you
know yOu don't ought io sU'ear? It's again

"Darn it ma'am, do you ithink I came to
hear a sermon, through `all' ihis slush ? If
,
you don't want •the Map, say so, and way you
never see gold again:"
"You wen% -get a cent from me," replied
the
. old woman, huffily. "I shOuldn't wonder
if you'caini by th'e map by improper means."
"Null sed, shake, 'you old gips:yr
And the diSappoirited, shivering Horace
'proceeded ' once muse upon `: his slumping
rounds.
"I'm Ashamed to go hotne"and tell uncle I
couldn't sell a map," reflected he, cowing to
a pond, through which be Must wade nearly to
his waist if he proceed - ed. "But I'm in for it.
Even slieuld give tbe map away,l haien't
got a'quarter to show, to' pretend °1 solil it.
And here goes. I will Sell the map."
And through the sea of slush he wallowed,
ctifeless now of the state of the 'roads, being
as wet as he could be.
tit` last he came to a blacksmith's shop on
the outskirts of 'the town, and went in to 'see
tow it belt 'to be a little warin. - '
'"Want to buy.a. map ?" asketl he, approach
ing the flaming forge.
"What kind of a map is it?" asked the
blacksmith.
"Map of California. Just out. Enlarged
plan. Great rush out there now. Miners
digging five hundred dollars a day, some of
'em."
"So I heern toll in the papers," said the
blacksmith. ."Give me one on 'em."
"Only one I've got left," said Horace, band
ing, him the article, and pocketing the long
desired quarter.
"It's a grand map," said the blacksmith.—
"Sold any up to the factory—Jones's ?"
o. Think I could ? Suppose I could,
though. How many employed there ?"
"About a hundred. Got any more ?"
"I guess I can get a few more, and I'll
come : this way and go up there to-morrow."
Having disposed of his map, after walking
about fonr, or five miles, Horace went home,
meeting his uncle with victorious fac.!..
"Sold your map?"
"Rhyther. There's the quarter."
"Pooty tough work, wasn't it ?"
"6-ot any more?"
"Want to sell some more?"
"Yes. Where can I get them?"
"I haven't got any more. But Dave Rob
bins has gotten, he would like to get rid of."
"I'll take 'em off his hands in the morning,"
declared Horace, sitting down to supper with a
ravenous appetite. "I'll find a market for
them."
Taking a bath to prevent a cold, and prepar
.
big a change of raiment for the morrow, he
went to bed and dreamed that the sky was one
vast map of California, and was snowing gold
and silver upon him.
in the morning having obtained the ten maps,
with heart elate, ns the'sun shone fair, though
his boots were sadly out, and the walking quite
as bad as the day before, Horace' traveled away
out to the factory, and went through every
room, asking every one :
"Buy a map?"
He asked the question over a hundred times,
and after spending three hours in the establish
.
ment, and fancying, scores of times, that he
. ,
was On the point of selling the whole at one
pop, he emerged ' from the buildino• having
sold—two. Fifty cents' worth !
"I wish Old Job was here !" exclaimed he,
bitterly, looking by turns at his ya*ning boots,
his fifty cents, his eight maps left, and the un
productive factory.
"If that factory had. any sense, it would be
ashamed of itself. Orily two maps to a hun
dred workmen! I hope the beggarly
eight will be doomed to slave their hires away
for poor pay, as long as they Jive; and may
,the two who bought my two maps go to Cali
lorirur"ia,*and conic home with a Million of dol
lars apiece! Eight maps left.. Where shall
get rid of 'em? . Gracious don't I feel 'dry !
I should like to. get a' drink. There must be
some ruin somewhere, though nobody's allowed
to sell it. But'where is it? I believe I could
have sold these eight maps, if I'd had a little
rum of some kindin me. Hallo ! There's a
saw-mill up yonder. I'll go up and try my
luell there."
A dozen men lie found in the saw-mill, rest
iog for a lunch.
Approaching in a careless way, be listened
to their Conversation. -What should the 'sub
.
ject happen to be but the California excitment?
Heavenly coincidence. Blessed chnnee for
Horace Panto', with his eight 'naps
"I'M tired of saw-mill dust," said one. 4 'l
wish I was out where the gold-dust is.
"And so do I,: sai4 another. "Here what
does,a man get, but poorly pay, when die has
work ; and that isn't always." •
"Never knows how soon he may be discharg
ed," added another, smothering himself, with
bread and cheese.
"Everybody's going out there, sincio the last
- news. Over a thousand went last week from
New York." • ..
•
"What does it cost to get there ?"
"What do you hai•e to carry ?
NOt waiting for the subject to be changed,
in popped Horace with his eight maps.
"Any of you gentlemen want to buy a map
—map of California, • with all the principal
knoWn digg,in's ? Only a quarter. Look at
it I" •
And he unrolled two or three, and the men
eagerly poured over them.
"I tell you what gentlemen, I'm dry, and - no
mistake about it. If yon'll tell me where I
can get some whisky, I'll stand a treat."
The bluff question and free offer pleased the

which he pulled a stopper, and filled a pewter

"And what's to pay?"
"Set that down agin the fust of Janooary,"
said the man, winking. "How much are these
maps ?"
"Quarter apiece."
"Boys, let's all have one."
"We won't have nothing else." •
The eight maps were sold in a jiffy, and
Horace felt doubly elated as, he pocketed the
proceeds
qa-reat rush'that way," said Horace, follow
ing up his bargain. Shouldn't wonder if I
could sell some more maps round here, if I
bad 'em."
"You could sell fifty, at least, over at the
nail-factory, 'tother side of the bill," said one
of the men.
Horace made a few further inquiries, went
back, saw Dave Robbins again, found where he
could get fifty maps, got them, and before
night had disposed of the whole.
"Luck is brightening ! The fever is work
tic'!" thought he_ "I'll follow this business
up to the hub. Father," said he, that evening,
showing his profits, "I've heard there's a great
excitement in Troy about. California, and I've
engaged five hundred maps, and am going there
to-morrow to sell 'em. What do you think of
it, mother? Do you think I can sell a map?"
The parents smiled and approved his per
severance ; and two days afterwards, Horace
Denton, with five hundred maps of California,
was making great excitement in the Trojan
city. He sold them in the streets, in front of
the hotels expatiatinc , upon the golden succes
ses of the Californian adventurers, and draw.
ing graphic contrasts between the profit of
the labor of the mines and the scant wages of
ordinary labor in the East; so that on the first
day, he disposed of over one hundred—the
sale of each map augmenting the general ex
citement in favor of going to the Land of Gold!
All Troy was talking of California, and hun
dreds talked of the new maps.
In the evening Horace was waited upon by
an enterprising periodical dealer, who struck
a bargain with him for the balance he had on
hand.
"Can, you get any. more ?".
think so"
"Wherer'-
"Don't you wish you knew ?"
" }nen, then ?" .
"How many do you want ?"
"I'll take two thousand to begin with."
"I'll have 'ern here in three days, but you
must furnish the funds."
"Agreed."
Within three days, three or four cases of
the self-same California maps had reached
Troy, to the order of Horace, and he realized
a handsome profit from his wholesale venture.
The,exeitement still continuing, the dealer
offered to go shares with Horace in an invoice
of many More—profit of loss; but Horace,
shrewdly guessing that the market was getting
flooded, declined, but sold the secret of where
to get them for a handsome bonus ; and retired
from the map business with a splendid suit of
clothes, more money than he bad ever handled
before at one time, and four pair of stout boots
—for he ha.'d not foigotten the snow-storm.
The maps had proved to be a small California
,mine to his perseverance,and he went home,
to east about for another speculation.
"Well, uncle," said he, as he gave the family
a cheerful account of his adventures, "what
no you think? Do you think I can sell a
map ?"
His uncle acknowledged that he thought he
could—a few; and Horace, no longer opposed
in his business "aspirations, followed them, and
is this day a wealthy man. So much for per.
severance
