Iicnoni from an Old Merchant. That veteran and honorable mer? chant, Jonathan Sturges, of New York, at the dinner given in his honor, on tho occasion of his retire? ment from active business, gave the following golden counsel to young men: Now, gentlemen, since there is nothing that I eau talk about that Sou do not understand a great deal otter than I do, I propose to say a few words for the benefit of the young men outside, and if you ap? prove of what is said, let it be con? sidered as said by this grand jury of merchants now assembled. One of the first lessons I received was in 1813, when I was eleven years of age. My grand-father bnd col? lected a fine flock of merino sheep, which were carefully cherished dur? ing the war of 1812-'15. I was a shepherd boy, and my business was tb watch the sheep in the fields. A boy, who was more fond of his books than of sheep, was seut with me, but left the work to me, while he lay in the shade and read his books. I finally complained of this to the old gentleman. I shall nover forget his benignant smile as he replied: "Never you mind, if you watch the sheep you will have the sheep." I thought to myself, what does the old gentleman mean? I don't expect to have any sheep. My aspirations were 2ni te moderate in those days, and a rat-rate merino buck was worth $1,000. I could not make out exact? ly what ho meant, but I bad great confidence in biufc as he was a judge and had been to Congress in Wash? ington's time; so I concluded that it was all right, whatever he meant, and went out contentedly with the sheep. After I got to the field I aould not get that iden ont of my head. Fi? nally I thought of my Sunday lesson: "Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things." Then I understood it. Never you mind who else ne? glected his duty, be you faithful and you will bave your reward 1 I do not think it will take many lads as long as it did me to understand this pro? verb. I received my second lesson soon after I como to this city, as a clerk to the late Luman Reed. A merchant from Ohio, who knew me, came to purchase goods of Mr. Reed. Ho expressed his gratification at finding me, there, and said to me, "You havo got a good place. Make yourself so useful that they cannot do without you." I took his meauiug quicker than I did tho proverb about the sheep. Well, I worked upon these tvro ideas until Mr. Reed offered me an interest in his business. Tho first morning after the copart? nership was announced. Mr. James Cioery, the old tea merchaut, coiled to see me, and snid to me: "You are all right now; I have one word of advice to give you; be caroful who you walk the streets with." That was lesson number three. In this connection I must repeat an anecdote told of the late Robert Lennox. A country merchant came into the store of Mr. Morton, a high? ly respectable Scotch merchant, to purchase goods. He spoke about credit, references, &o. Mr. Morton said: "I will give you what credit you wish." "Rut," said the mer? chant, "I am an entire strunger to you." Mr. Morton replied, "Did I not see you at church with Robert i ?r - , - .. vr ? Lennox?" "Yes, I waa at chtir?h .with bim." "Well. I wil! ?tt&kft man ??cs Hebert TipfflnTf: w?i iake to church with him.1' I hope these threes lessons of watch? fulness ' over the ' interests of their employers, watchfulness over their partners' interest? and their own, after they- are joined,' followed by intenso watchfulness that no black sheep creep into their , folds, may bo impressed by these anecdotes upon tho minds of those for whom they j are intended. One other lesson I feel it very necessary to inculcate-that of pa? tience. With a little patience, most young men will find a position as high as they havo fitted themselves to fill. In all the changes which have taken pluce in my firm since 1822, no partner has been brought in who has not served as a clerk in tho establish? ment. And now I leavo my house well-organized, prosp?rons and free from complications, still in thc hands of those who have served in it as clerks for a longer or shorter period. I mention this as an encouragement to young men to persevere iu the faithful performance of their duties. Loss OF A Bia HAT ON THE RAIL? ROAD.-A gentleman from the neigh? borhood of Middleton, in going to Baltimore, recently, in the cars, had the misfortune to lose his hat some? where between Mt. Airy and Elli cott's Mills, and fearing that ho could uot get another one anywhere big enough for his head, he got tho con? ductor to telegraph baok to have tho missing article forwarded. The an? swer came as follows: "Down expresa train met bat lying on the track, two miles from Sykes ville Station. Mistook it for the i depot, and ran right in. Engineer discovered the error and backed out. Freight train despatched to remove the establishment, and shall forward it in seotions as requested."
