CIIAnAc-rEl FOIL INTEoItv.-We
havo somewhere seen a notice of a
Rotterdam thread merchant who had
accumulated fifty thousand dollars by
his own industry, punctuality and
irtegrity, and it was renmarked-of him
that lie never let a yard of had thread
go out of his hands, and would nev
er take lore than a reasonable prcf
lit. By these means lie acquired
such entire public confidence, that his
customers would as willingly send a
blind man or a child to buy for them
as go themselves.
We refer to the case not to intimate
that we have no such instances a;ong
ourselves, but fr the purpose of sug
gestimg the great value to any business
m.an of such a character, and tihe
exceed ing agreeableness to dealers with
him of the contidenee lie inspires. And
we aflirm nothing ext ravalgant, in say
ing t hat the character for strict iii
tegrity acquired is of as much real
worth to its posessor as the pecu
niary savings of his industry. Let
such a man lose, by any niisfortune,
all his ioney, he is still a man of
capital, of influence, and is the superior,
on mere business calculations, of, a
