This is a commodity possessing more value at less cost, than any tliiugyut known totho human lam ily It pays a better profit to the a- mount of capital invested than any other enterpri/.o. A man has to pay no tuition. The recipe is simple aud short. “Whatsoever, ye would, thut men do unto you; do y e also unto them.” The pmcticul part requires no long apprenticeship, to become an adept. Simply, iu all dealings, conversations and transactions, on- deuvor to make every one feel bet ter, und try to provent any ono from feeling worse. Men some times thoughtlessly, use prolano and ohseeoe language. They feel' worse and their heurers aro difr* gustod. No one ia benefited. There cun be no wit, or fun, in any way connected with such expressions, and some oho is always wounded. SUCCESS. No young man who has common sense, is industrious, economical and possesses good habits, can fail of success. If ho can’t get work that suits him, be must take what he can get. Those wishing to place some one in a desirable place, will always select tho one who is at work.

All things considered, probably there is no more meritoriously con spicuous gentleman in American poli- lice to day than the name that heads this artiole.

Dominion has fully established True, in that contest he was beuten, but when it is remembered that, ut most single handed and alone, In* weuged his warfare for hones'y uad intelligence in the government of his State against the whole Federal administration and the money of the Northern Rad tea's—freely poured out to si-cure the succ-*3s of r^iud a- tion in Virginia—and further that he had to face at the {beginning of the contest a solid negro vote of abrat 60,000 ugaiust him, und that he was ufter alt, only defeated by a majority of less thun 10,000, it must lie ac knowledged that his defeut wns substantially u victory. Under lb circumstances, we duobt not that there is scareely a man of real worth and true manhood iu the United States who would not to-day prefer to be Daniel defeated than Cameron succesiful, for though but thirty nine years of age his reputation as a splendid orator, of ability, and above ull, a high-toned, honorable gentleman, “without feur aud with ou! reproach,” is already national.
