was put Into execution of employing the

Of eourae the consequence of thia

of closing it wse filled with bevies of young

though, that aueh measures as these
of comparative insignificance were the
means of hie prosperity. They were, we
might say, simply the humorous diversions
of a great commercial system "
We anoex the following extract from the
Herald, which will doubtless amuse the
reader. It shows that practical sense and
great business espscity, no more than

" Perhaps lli? moat singular characteristic
of Mr. Stewakt ia hie alb ged superatition.
He la eaid to ignore to a gr?-#t ex
tent the buaineas tact, ability and foresight
which were undoubtedly the carvera of his
wast fortn.ie, and to attrihnte his success in
life solely to luck. And lliia idea ia the
cause of numerous ludicrous occur|gpc>-a in
Ida career. When be kept his store on
Broadway, between Murray and Warren
streets, there eat on the aid??alk before it,
on an orange box, an old woman, whos?
ostensible occupation was the aching of ap
plea. TfcN business was, however, merely
a pretence ; the main object being beggary.
A# years rolled on Mr. Stewart became in>
pressed with tha idea that the old dame
was bis guardian angel of good luck, and
this impression took so firm a hold upon his
mind that w ben he removed to Chambers
aire*the, ia p<rson, took up the old wo
man's box, aud removed her to the front of
his new establishment. In further illustra^
lion of M'-, Stewart's faith in the Irish tra
ditional belief its " lucky " and " unlock) |
persons it may be mentioned that after the
completion of the St. Nicholas Hotel in I
this city, in undertaking in which he was
largely interested, and when the build ng
was just about to be opened for the reception
of guests, the millionaire, standing in
the drawing room, ejaculated, ' It is now
finished ; I hope its first visitors may be
lucky people."
A gentleman presrnt, m ho had keard of
ar. onwirii care mr me >gcu apple veuu.
or, remarked, " I presume, iir, you do not
in reality care about lucky or unlucky per.
?on?." To wliicb be immediately replied,
" Indeed, I da There are perron* who
are unlucky. I sometimes open a case of
good* and m!1 the first from it to some p. r
on who ia unlucky ar.d lore on it to the
end. I frequently nee perrons to whotn 1
would not tell if I could avoid it."
The career of Mr. Stewart is altogether
a moat rcma>kable one. His rapid attain
ment of wealth has never been quailed in
rnodert timer, Kven the yeat Rothschild

of him- Commencing with roareely more
than hia resolution to w?rk, lie prospered
beyond all parallel, and U now one of the

few men in lliia country ever rose, from ob.
aenrity to opulence and reputation with
the rapidity '.bat he lies; and, aingular but
true, of thoae few not a single native eau

in your comments on ury last letter in rrfer1

such prophecies aru ungenerous; hut this is
consistently Democratic, to believe that every*
thing that tho Republican party controls will
f fails Certainly there is no good reason why

I know that it is mortifying to the pride of

ic lose one of its most powerful auxiliaries, for
had it not l>oen for the rebellious teachings of

1 rJt. then the Church has heen in error on this
point long enough, and your argument lead*
to the natural conclusion that the Christian
