Septembeu '23. 186G.—Koticing on -tbe
second Column of the second page of your
issue of last Saturday (the 22d) an .article
headed “^.n Evil tliat requires Checking,”
at Id relating to tlfe present reckless conrsc of
yonng men, I deemed it a duty to write a
few words lor the benefit of those and other
young men, and men of business generally,
relative • to a snrveilance that is kept over
them, not by the officers of the law, but by
the protectors of mcreautile interest ;und'
they never suppress a name, or an evil, or an
hpuorable deed coiuxeted with it
In the United States at the present time
there are between seven hundred aud sev
enty-five thousand and eight hundred thou
sand men aud women engaged in the various
branches of the trade, its manutheturers,
wholesale.dealcrs, retail dealers, commission
merchants, newspaper proprietors, contrac
tors and speculators, to say. nothing of the
innumerable host of lawyers, doctors,auth
ors, teachers, iusurauce agents and pedlers,
thht live and thrive in every city, village
and township in America, And yet; almost
countless as is their number, spread mat, iw
they are over a vast territory of country,
shrewd, cunning and retired, mid to the
world unknown, asinanvof them confident

Their every deed of mark, whether it be

noble purpose, in the accomplishing ofwhich
is reward.siitticient forthe truly benevolent,
or whether it Viea.deetl ot' frattd and dishon

is alike enrolled upon the book.' Kul only,

Now, so complete is this vast net-work of
information, and so reliable arc its resources
•that men, ois the strength of it, daily and

machine of mercantile intelligence.
JVior to'.the .year 1841 the wholesale mer

delphia arid other prominent points discoa-
cred that each year they were losing immense
sums ofinoncy by the sale of goods and mer

leading mcrciiant
and I’ltilndelpliii
mercantile worh
cast-such a net-work of information over
America as wosltkeompletely crush out the
systematized swindling operations that had
become so general.- An agenoy was formed
under the style,of B. Douglass & Co'., now
R. 6. Dnn & Co. Secret agents were then
sent out to establish an agent for each prin
cipal city'in the Union, and a general chief
agent fop onob State The State agent in
turn appointed in every village ahd town
ship an agent, whose duty it was to learn
and transmit to headquarters the name, age,
reputation, wealth, and pecuniary resource
of every roan and woman engaged in trade,
who might reside within his prescribed ter
ritory, and in six short months the record
was complete, and so far as the projectors Of
the great work were interested swindling as
a business came to a sudden end. But now
a new.questioii of importance presented it
self. How should the system be maintained?
It had required the expenditure of hundreds
of thousands of dollars to start it; the‘ad
vantages it offered were indispensable, and
yet the burdenr of maintaining it would each
day become heavier, and many were in favor
of abandoning it.—But now came the finan
ciering ability bf Mr. Dun. Said he: Yon
may abandon, but I will not This may be
madc-a matter, hot only of self-defense, but
it may be'made profitable: and Mr. Dun
knew very well (be ground he took in mak
ing this assertion, and in thus assuming the
whole responsibility. His first step was to
have his work printed and placed - in the
hand of every wholesale dealer in the conn-
try, both Nortli and South. Instead of one
agent in every .city or township, he placed
from five to five hundred. He made it obli
gatory upon e'vcry subscriber to be an agent,
and has now reduced the price of his book
from one hundred and twenty-five to seven
ty-five dollars per annum.
At Cincinnati he has from one linndred
and fifty, to two hundred responsible bnsi-
uos8 men who are in Constant communica
tion with Mr. , the chief agent at that
point. In the city of Louisville alone there
are from forty-five to fifty business men of
responsibility who are in daily communica
tion with Mr. E. L. Sciclirist, at the Hamil
ton Bank Building, who is the gentlemanly
and indefatigable general-in-chief of the
Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois forces.
Now if any-man of business in this or
any other city shonld still have any doubts,
and at the same time should have forgotten
the date of ahy of the marked portions of
his business career, lie lias but to repair to
the nearest agency office to find the lost
dates, and also to learn who he is and what
he has been during the last t wenty-six years
of his mercantile life..
""Young man, beware. Remember that
your name is down and will not4>e erased.
Remember that you are writing your own
history in black and white, and that as you
depart from the paths of rectitude, or follow
the true and even course of an honorable
man, yon arc credited or charged, as the cir
cumstances may call for. And though you
are never so cunning, remember that Argus
eyes know your every move.
And those who are advanced in life, and
era still engaged in mercantile pursuits,'re
member that y ou arenot.uuobserved", and in
proportion to your shrewdness and your
cunning is the shrewdness, and.cunning.of
others exercised, to tdbtsau ;a knowledge* of
■yarir movements, to be recorded in the
ledger where ybnr name is registered.
Reader, if-you.be a country merchant or
a city merchant, if yoirbe a wholesale-dealer
or a retail jlealer;'or it you be a clerk just
graduating into business life for yourself,
remember, when you set out from home to
buy your first stock of goods, or for the
hundredth time, to make your monthly or
quarterly purchases, that in every wholesale
establishment of any magnitude that doesnn
extensive or limited credit business in which
yon may set your foot, you will there find

The Stream of Life.
Life bears ns on like the stream of a migh
ty river. Our boat at first glides swiftly
down .the narrow channel, through the play
till murmurings oftlie Tittle brook, and win
ding along its grassy bordgrs, tlie trees
shed their blossoms over our young beads,
and the flowers on the brink seems to offer
S&
m
our bands are empty.
Our course in youth and manhood is
along a wider and deeper, flood, and amid
objects more" striking and magnficent
We are animated by the moving picture of
enjoymetil now passing before us; are
excited by short-lived success, or depressed -.
and rendered miserable by some short-lived
disappointment. But our energy and do-: ;
pendencc are. both in vain. The stream
bears ns on, and our joy and griefs are loft
behind tiswe may he shipwrecked; but wo %
cannot-anclior; our voyage may be hasten
ed, but we cannot be delayed; whether
rough'or smooth, the river hastens towards
its home; the roaring of tho waves is be
neath our keel, and land lessens from our *
eyes; the flpods are lifted up around us and
we take our last leave of' earth and its in
habitants and of our future Voyage there
is no witness hut the Inffuite and Eternal!
cal writers that death is frequently prece
ded by insanity, a fact which has occasion
ed tlie remark that It was not astonishing,
for everybody says tliat when folks get mad
der-they abont to dye. This reminds us of
a ease which occured many years ago in a J
Philadelphia court, where a pretty young '
widow was in danger of losing two-thirds
of her husband’s estate-liis relatives groun
ding their claim on the alleged insanntty -
of the defunct. It may be as well to prom
ise that the presiding’judge was not only
civil, but also very gallant.
“What were your husband’s last words?
inquired tbe attorney.
The pretty young widow blushed and
looking down replied—
.“i,d rather not tell.u
“But, indeed, you must, ma’am- Your
claim may be decided by it.”
-Still blushing, the widow declined to tell.-

We know not whether it was admiration
for (he deceased husband, or the living wife,

The story of the great Frenchman, Mab-
branehe, is well known, and well authentv
cated. lie iancied that he carried anenorm- - "
ous leg of motion at the tip of his nose.—
No one could con wnce him to tlie contraty.
One day a gentleman visiting him adopted
this plan to cure him of his follyc He ap
proached him with the intention oi embra
cing him, when he suddenly exclaimed,
“Ila! vourleg of mutton lias straek me in .
the face!” at which Malebranche "expressed
regret. The friend went on : “May I not .
remove the encumbrance with a razor?”—
“Ah, my friend ! my ' friend ! I owe
you more than life. Yes, yes; by all means
cut it off!” In a twinkling the friend light
ly ent the Up of the phiosopher’s nose, and
adroitly taking from under his cloak a sab- - -
erb leg of mutton raised it in triumph.— .
“Ah!” cried Malebranche, ‘I livdj I breathe
lam saved! My nose is free; myheadis
free; but—but—it was raw and that is
cooked 1” ‘Truly but you have been seated ;
near the fire; that must be the reason.’—
Malebranche was satified, and from that - - a
time forward lie made no moie complaints
about any leg of mutton, or any other mon-
-streus pi de r.nce on the nose.
