When Cornelius "Vanderbilt, at eighteen learned that to him had beon awarded the contract for conveying supplies to the different forts in New York Harbor, he started with astonish- Jment. ' He had disdained to com pete with the other boatmen" in prices, but had offered to do the woik pn just terms. The commis sary, observing! his surprise, said to him: " Don't you know why we. have given this, contract to you V' " No," replied the youth. "Why, it is because we want this business done, md we know you'll do it." , In the w,hoIe world I do not be lieve there can be found a business fifty years old which is not found ed on the principle of rendering an equivalent for all that it receives? Honesty is' the rock upon which all enduring success rests. I was very much struck during the late panic with three ruleswhioh Vanderbilt gave to the men in Wall street:,f 1. Never use what ir not your own. 2 Never buy what you cannot pay for. 3 Never sell what you haven't got." j From what agonies of apprehen sion and remorse and shame men -would be saved hy the observance Hot tho1 typo himself, and by the time tho men came back ho had it all ready to go into a second edi tion, which was: uitnediately issuodr Ho knoiv the business from top to bottom knew it in bis brain, and know it in his f ngers. So Horaco Gi oeley, on returning from his first vi nt to Europe, mido up the steamer't. news for the Tri bune before sho intered tho hatbor. The steamer arrived at six o'clock in the morning, ifter all the papers had been piinte 1. Going straight to the pffice, La, too, found the compositors all gone home, and the pressman just preparing to go. He began forth' nth to set the news in type, and he never left the case till it was all n ady for an extra. Then he started up town to see his family.

A thousand ex amples could Le given. sh6wing that the capita} of a house of busi ness is not inon iy, but brains. Again ; befor 3 a man can be a king of business or a king of men he must be a m match of himself. A great p.ut-of the seciet of being able to control others is self-con trol. I remember Robert Bonner pointing out a \ erson going by the office of the Leager, and saying; "I worked by the 1 ide of that man for years setting ty je, and a veiy good woi kman he wu s. Doyouwantto knjw tho reason why he is still a journeyman pri iter and I am not?" I did want to know the reason. " Well," said ho, " tho leason is this: He used to buy five dollar pantaloons, anc as soon as they began to look sbabby he cast them aside ; but I bo ight coarse, strong ones, and wore jlhem out. That's the reason. Savin gj Thote is :io getting over tho fact that ono gioat cause of tho poverty of tho present day is tho failure of tho working, indeed all, classes to appieciate small things. In tho language of an able writer thoy do not lealizo how a daily addition, bo it over so smalll, will make a lai'ee pile.

A medical correspondent of the London Lancet makes a suggestion which may prove useful on emer gency to some of our readers. He says : " In consequence of the dif ficulty I experienced in removing from a patiint a portion of steel iiiibcdded in the cornea, which did not yield t< spud hrt needle, some other ineaiiii of removal became necessaiy.

HUGH BELL. Esqucsing, Kov. 16, 175, 2Mt* Next to honesty I think we must place, as a condition of kingship in business, knowledge. I have observ ed that the men Who take the lead in affairs, whateyer else they lack, are sure to possess a most minute and entire, knowledge of thoir 4 Theie is a'griat deal in merely being able to fi el money in your pocket and, not ;pend it. I must own that it is a very lare gift with the literary class. I have known a young writer, on receiving thirty dollars for an ar tide, invite a friend lo dine with lim at Delmonico's and ordoi two lottles of six dollar wine. Such men, whatever(their talents, usually temain drudges and slaves all their ives. The simple j reason, in fact, why propeity al ways and everywhere gets into such enormous nasties, is that it is the nature of the strong to husband 1 their resomces i.nd themselves, and it is the nature of the weak to squander both. If you want to test aN young nan-aud ascertain whether nature made him for a king or a subject, give him a thou sand dollars anc see what he will do with it. If ie is born to con quer and coram! .nd, he'will put it quietly awaj' til he is leady to use it as opportunit;r offeis. If ho is born to serve, h > will immediately begin to spend it in gratifying his ! ruling propensii y. But of all these qualities that I bavo mentioned honesty, know ledge, selfoontr ol, resolution, per severance will not make a man a king of business. An individual, let,hjm be the greatest man that ever lived, oann )t accomplish much unless lie knowi how to avail him self of the servi< es of others. . I re member hearing Mr. Prang, the great ohromo m iker, say that the hardest thing h< 1 ever had to: learn was to keep his own hands off the work, it was so muoh easisr and quicker to take thold,and do a diffr- oult thing thanjbo gBt another per son to do it. But he soon found the master of a large establishment must use all hia skill and energy in doing just that, for it is only by doing nothing tnat he oan do every thing.

The distancj from Philadelphia to New York: was about 90 miles, To get over this occupied about three day*. The crossing of tho North River to New York was in a small boat^ which was often delayed by fogg, ice, adverse winds and tides. From Now Yoik to Boston was, as then travelled, about 250inile8, and this ptobably occupied a week or more, not Ttery fast travelling, as we would now think, but it was sub ject to many contingencies from weather? bad roads, j biidgeless streams andr accidents.' Now the thirteen1 ccjlonies, then merely skirting the Atlantic ooast, reach ing bai;konly 50 to 10D miles, are part o'f more, than forty states and territories, extending j from the British line on the north to the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican boundary on the south, and from the Atlantic] to the Pacific Ocean, having a population of about! forty- four or forty-five mjilUons., They constitute one nation, one people undtr agovejrnmen^ made byithemr 8elres and for themselves, and hav ing all the attributes of sovereignty. Now tho mails are carried probably ten times a day, between Philadel phia and New Yo& in 2J, 3, 4, and 5 hours, according to the ser vice, whether thiough or way, and tho route it travels. Between New Yoik and Boston there are six or eight ma^s daily, taking from sit to twelve hours time ; some mails going by "the Long Island steam' boats.
