a, hoth as junior and senior, was the de
de, «*>“."■' nmi opinions, i never,
to % recollection, said a word to the
prejudice of any one, or ever sa.d a word
which could hurt the feelmgs or pngud.ces
ofanv respectable member of society.
Mv aim was always to impress those whom
I met with a feeling that I was a sound,
cautious, good-tempered man of business j
and of business aims.
If I have a ta«te for anything besides
business, it is what I believe no man ever
suspected. I am fond ol horses: and what
is more, I am a good judge of a horae.
But no one ever heard me talk ol horses.
Even since my success in business became
decided, I have not indulged myself in
keeping a horse. The young man w ho
wants U> succeed, will do well to follow
mv example. If he allows himself even
to'talk ala)ut anv amusement for winch lie
may have a taste, it is astonishing how
soon he may have a reputation fixed upon
him for lasing knowing in it. He will have
plenty of rivals, eager to talk of linn as a
good' shot, a good fisher, knowing in
horses—being well aware that sueh a rep
utation is certain to be most injurious,
proliably fatal, to his business prospects.
When a young man, 1 was a member ol a
debating" society in our town. I never
spoke except when the business of the so
ciety was concerned. My reason for being
a member was that a good many men of
influence belonged to it, with whom I had
thus an opportunity of becoming acquaint
ed. My friend Sam was a distinguished
member: and I recoil let going to lus lodg-!
inora one ni>rht out of curiosity, when he !
had a meeting of his choicest menus.
They were drinking toddy—a composition
which I hate; indeed L hate all spirits;
and as to smoking, it is a method of em
ploying time which has always seemed to
me'suitable only for those of weak intel
lect. I was prevailed on, 1 remember, to
try a pipe—faugh I It was the first time
and the last. They tried to encourage me
to “persevere,” by holding out the pros
pect that by so doing i should become a
smoker in iinte. Dare say 1 might have
succeeded in making myself a slave to an
expensive and idiotic habit had I chosen ;
but that I should, by learning to smoke,
bo putting down the smallest item to the
credit of niv account with Fortune, was
what i could not see; much less did I see
that any balance was thereby likely to ac
crue to Profit. 1 thought it as well to re
serve my perseverance for somewhat dif
ferent objects. So much. I suppose, for
not l>eing clever, lint the talk was the
wonderful thing. “What was love?”—
“Did men aet from free will or from ne
cessity?” and l fancy that they drank
whiskey-and-water, smoked their vile to
bacco, and muddled the small modicum of
brains which God had given them, two or
three nights a week in this way. If there
is anything for which, from by boyhood,
I have found it difficult to hide my con
tempt, it is a man occupying himself with
poetry, metaphysics, and such stuff, in
stead of giving himself to the honest and
obvious work of life, and pocketing the
honest payment for it. I well remember
how my clothes smelt of tobacco next
morning, and what a (right I was in lest
our master should notice this. I was, how
ever, at the office as usual half-an-hour
before regulation time, and I can remem
ber that I got a job to do which would have
fallen to Sam had he been there in lime.
It put half a sovereign in my pocket—a
sum not to be despised in those days.
aow l uo noi mean 10 say, in giving yie
above sketch of my own animus, that men
have not arrived at fortune whose mental
machinery would, if dissected, show a very
different arrangement of wheels and piv
ots. Sheer audacity will sometimes do
wonders, especially in public life. Vet I
think my own plan has been about as sure
and as easy a one ns can be followed. If 1
were to name one advantage ot mind
which I have had over other men, 1 should
say it is this—1 was a sensible tellow as a
Smart. By reason of pride, conch, or
o over ambitious, you will often see a
manbetween his twentieth and twenty
fifth year commit an error which he never
has a chance of retrieving. Opportunity
gone is gone forever, He is thrown off the
life—shunted—so to speak, and the rest of
life is embittered, not only by the con
sciousness of failure, but bv the conscious
ness that he has only his own vanity to
blame for the failure. Generally 1 have
noticed that the causes of a man's failure
are distinctly visible to every one but him
self. 1 have known men with capital busi
ness heads, and with all the inclination to
work, the mystery of whose lives—inscru
table to, amf undreampt of by, themselves
—lay in their manner; shy, retiring fel
lows, who never make acquaintances, but
allow any man to cultivate them; hence
their tendency is, inevitably, downwards
in the social scale. A shy man, whose
mental cuticle is so tender that the blood
comes at every scratch, may perhaps suc
ceed as a clergyman, or a doctor, or
chance may put him in a safe business po
sition, but to push his way through the
rough and thorny brushwood which besets
the outset of a business career, is what he
need never try. “
Know your business, scrupulously re
spect the world's conventionalities, face it
boldly, receive its kicks and its cuffs—of
whieh you will have a good allowance at
starting—with invincible patience and
good.ihumor, and it will come round to
you in time, But it is a coy mistress, and
one with many lovers. Unless you woo
with perfect self-mastery, and with know
ledge of its ways, your suit will not pros
pcf.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The platform of the Democracy adopted
at Bangor Is about as loosely jointed and
poorlv shapeu a piece of workmanship as
could well bo constructed. The arraign
ment of the National Administration as a
failure on the score of economy and faith-,
fulness in national affairs, in the face of,
the tact that it has reduced the public debt
since President Grant was inaugurated,
.* 156,188.784, while at the same time
greatly reducing taxation, is a piece of
hardihood that even Democrats might
shrink from Wing responsible for. If this
is a failure, how about Andrew Johnson's,
which was extolled and supported by the
Democratic party, although it increased
the national debt thirty millions and kept
up a reign of terror in the South of which
the bloody riots at New Orleans and in ■
Georgia were the direct growth ? IVc
think they must have forgotten their own
record when they talk about this matter.
Mr. Johnson, with taxation at the highest
point, created a larger debt by the sum we
have named, while President Grant, with
taxation reduced more than two hundred
millions annually, lessened the debt as
above, and will soon throw off eighty mil
lions more of taxes. According to Demo-:
cratic ideas, however, Johnson with his,
w hiskey rings and “bread and butter" j
party was economical, while the present
Administration, with its honest and suc
cessful endeavors in managing the affairs
of the government and reducing the bur
dens of the people, is a failure. Their no
tions of economy are about as sensible as
their ideas of patriotism during the war;
they see things inverted.
But the strangest part of the whole plat
form is that in which the State government
is attacked. Is not Governor Chamberlain
at the head of the State government, and
have the Democrats not been praising his
administration of State affairs with all the
laudatory adjectives in the English lan
guage? Yea, verily, have they not been
so much in love with hint and his conduct
of things relating to the State government
that they desired to make him their candi
date for Governor? Was it noton account
of this that they had the late family “un
pleasantness” at Portland and adjourned
to Bangor? Why then this assault upon
J the Slate government ? Why this sudden
change of front ? Where were the “Young
Democracy” when this joke was perpetra
ted upon them, to make them the laughing
stock of the cunning old hunkers and dis
interested spectators? We should like to
knowhow they can reconcile their late j
fawning upon Governor Chamberlain with j
these attacks upon his administration, j
Will Mr. Roberts or some of his friends j
please explain. That Democrats should I
assail our common schools and endeavor j
to abolish universal education is quite con- j
sistent with their course, and what might
be expected, but we don't see why they |
should have so much admiration for the j
head of our State government and so little j
for tiie administration itself. That is what .
puzzles us.
In regard to free trade, protection, ship-;
building, and the interests of our State. ,
we should be glad to have more light, for \
the resolves are not remarkable clear. !
Shall we have free trade with the Cana-1
das, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia by
giving them access to our markets so that
they can control the trade in lumber and
farm produce against our own citizens ?
Shall we discard the protection which
shipowners have had in the laws that pro
tect our coasting trade against being en
gaged in by foreign vessels, and that
which our ship-builders have by the regu
lations that keep foreign vessels from
competing with them in our markets ? We
should like to know if free trade for the
! benefit of Canadian farmers and lumber
j ers and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
shipbuilders is the kind of policy the
1 Democrats desire, because when plainly
stated to the people o! Maine that doctrine
would soon kill itself. Admitted that ship
building is not prosperous, it does not fol
! low that the liberty to bring British-built
1 vessels into competition with our builders
1 will help the case. If a man is nearly dead
with starvation, would a little more ot the
same medicine restore him ? If the Demo
crats think they can thrive upon such a
policy as this we have no objection to their
making the attempt.
Lastly it appears the Democrats have
become temperance men. Thanks for.
this, they needed conversion ; now let them
stick.
POLITICAL.
The nomination of Maroellus Emery
by the democrats of the Fourth Congres
sional District, as a candidate for Con
gress, should have been accompanied by
the reading of a copy of his paper issued
after the attack on Fort Sumpter by tbe
rebels.
The young democracy of Maine are out
generaled by the old hunkers, who still
hold, own and control the organization ol
the party. The nomination of Roberts is
a sop to keep them under a couple of years
more.
The Maehias Republican urges the sup
poit of Hon. Lot M. Morrill for United
States .Senator.
A correspondent of the Portland Press
who favors Mr. Washburn for Senator
says:
Neither he, nor his friends, have orga
nized “a party within a parly” to secure
liis nomination, nor adopted any “new
plan" for that purpose. He is not the fa
\ orite of the Democratic politicians; and
they probably would not unite with a mi
nority of the Republicans to elect him.
Nor would be engage in any “Senator
tight,” in this city, or elsewhere, within
i or without the Republican party, even if
he eoidd raise an army of camp followers
by to doing. He may not be chosen to till
the chair once honored by Senator Fessen
den. Rut if be is not, 1 think it will not
be for any want of confidence iu him,—
nor tor any desire to please the democrats
I by follow ing their advice,—but for tbe
reason that the present incumbent. Sena
tor Morrill, evil! still be retained in his
place. The new plan may divide and
weaken us, and help the democrats in
some localities ; hut that the great body of
Republicans in this State are ready to turn
aside and follow the men who are attempt
ing to lead them into a new party, is not
very probable. Such a ‘•plan" is indeed
“new and the policy that dictates it is
necessarily hostile to the party “within"
which it professes to act.
Whittemore retiies as a candidate tor
Congress in South Carolina. He says he
has no doubt of being elected should he
consent to be a candidate, but for the sake
of harmony perfers to withdraw.
The Democrats of Missouri have re
solved to make no State nominations this
year, but if they can promote a Republi
can “bolt” they will support the bolting
ticket.
Since the final action of the Legislature
on the subject of prolongation, both par
ties in Georgia accept the issues, and pri
vate advices from there sav they are now
going actively to aoik to secure a lair
election in the tall.
Vice President Colfax takes a lively in
terest in the approaching political cam
paign. and is actively engaged in strength
ening the Republican cause by aiding
those who are to take the stump this season
with facts and figures relative to the suc
cess of tile administration of the Govern
ment under President Grant.

GHAUTE OF MAISE.
Dix Island, Me., August K>, le70.
To the Editor of the Journal.
It is doubtless the fact that but few people
of Maine are aware of the large amount of
revenue that our State derives from the work
ing of its granite quarries. In a recent num
ber of your paper I noticed a description of
the amount of granite \rprk being done by
Messrs. Bodwell & Wilson at Hallowell,
which has induced me to briefly describe that
class of work now being carried on exten
sively upon the islands of Penobscot Bay.
Upon Fox Island (so called), embracing the
incorporated town of Vinalhaven, are located
several extensive quarries, which have been
worked to some extent for the last twenty
years, but for a few years past very exten
sively indeed. The granite is of a superior
quality and fine color, easily quarried and
cheaply dressed, thus finding a ready mar
ket, and will doubtless c ntinue to do so for
many years, as the supply seems to be almost
inexhaustible. Part of the granite required
for the New York Post Office, the Masonic
Temple at Philadelphia, and the massive
bridge across the Mississippi at St. Louis, tie
sides stone fronts, monuments, etc., has tor
the last fall and winter furnished and is at
present furnishing employment for upwards
of three hundred men.
There is also another quarry recently open
ed by Gen. Davis Tilson & Co., on an island
adjacent to Fox Island, known as Hurricane.
The stock is said to be of a fine quality, and
through the energy displayed by the proprie
tors in preparing for operations, it can safely
be predicted that very extensive work will
soon be carried on there.
About seven miles below the city of Hock
land are located the Spruce Head quarries,
the proprietors of which are Messrs. Cobb,
Wight & Case. The granite there is also of
gooil quality, and in great demand. A force
of about one hundred men arc there constant
ly employ ed upon works in various parts of
the country.
Upon Dix Island, containing but from forty
to fifty acres, the most extensive operations
are now progressing. It is owned and worked
by tin* Dix Island Granite Company, of which
the late Horace Heals, Ksq., was a member,
and for many years its energetic Superinten
dent. It Was from this quarry that the gran
ite was furnished for the new extension to
the U. S. Treasury Department, which is pro
nounced by the best judges to be the most
perfect and beautiful granite in America. A
force of two hundred and fifty nu n arc now
employed upon the work of quarrying stone
for the New York City Host Office and Court
House. Tin v have also recently commenced
to furnish and dress stone for the new State
Capitol at Albany. N. Y., row in process of
erection, which when completed will be the
most magnificent structure in the country.
The granite worked upon all of the above
islands to a great extent is dressed titer*' and
boxed and shipp* *1 to its destination, thus
giving constant employment ami good wages
to first cla-s stone cutters. Ml of the quar
ries are easy of ace* ss for the larg* st v* ssols.
a ad the facilities for loading are such that the
transportation ot Mono of ary dimensions re
quired can be done easily Perhaps but few
risitoti from Maine to the National Capital
have thought as they gaged upon and admired
that noble grarite structure the Treasury
b at b « ***** ' f columns, pil
asters. buttress**, caps or* . which support
and adorn the edifice, were transported from
the S ate ot Maine But when an called
upon in this State to transport granite from
the Penobscot to New Orleans and thence up
the Mississippi river seventeen hundred miles
to St. I.ouis, we can but conclude that our
granite is in good demand, and that the future
business prospects of our State in that respect
can but be bright and promising. F.

To the Editor of the Journal:
Acgcsta, Acg. 17, 1870.
1 see in your issue of the 17th inst., a com
munication from “C'hanning" dated in Wash
ington, in which he states that on a recent
visit to Norfolk he saw the l'. S. frigate Bran
dywine, which once conveyed Lafayette to
America, lying at the Navy Yard. As the
waters of Norfolk Navy Yard have through
treason and otherwise proved the grave of
many a gallant ship of the olden time, he
might have seen the ghost of the departed
frigate, but the veritable old “ Brandywine,’ ^
of solid oak and iron he did not see. The '
frigate Brandywine for a long period during
the war was moored off '• Fortress Monroe,’
and used as a Naval Storcship and for the
headquarters of the paymaster to the “ Mus- ,
quito Fleet,” as the numerous small gunboats
and tugs of the service were generally termed.
During the winter of 18ti3 and '(14 she was
towed to Norfolk and moored off the Navy
Yard and used for the same purpose, besides
acting as Rect iving Ship. She was an old
hulk dismantled and housed over, but of great
capacity for storage of material. In Septem
ber, 18114, she was by accident totally destroy
ed by fire, with a vast amount of naval and
paymaster's stores on board, and that was the
finale of the once gallant Frigate Brandy
wine.

A council was held at Farmington Aug. Sth,
to consider whether the pastoral relation of
Rev. R. B. Howard with the Congregational

It appeared that the church were very de

that Mr. U. having received a call to become
the pastor of a church in Princeton, III.,
thought he could be more useful to accept it.
The council advised the dissolution of the
pastorate, and commended Rev. Mr. Howard
