ERE great complaint among young that they cannot get employment that will remunerate them for their services. To such, thesnbscriber would cull attention to a safe, pleaaant and very profitable business, by which, without any risk, the capital invested can be doubled every three months, and by a little extra exertion every two moths. Agents are wanted in every city and town in the Union—you cannot overstock the market, and there is always a ready sale.
