 la1akec Eate4prise.-We have seldom met win any thing so happily illustra- tive of Yankee character, as the follow Ing, published some years since in Biack- woods Magazine-said 10 be drawn from originals which may be recognized now:
 l have known two American partners n q large mercantile mouse; one had been educated for the bar, and was l believed to be in the way to great au. thority, fell sick, consumed all bis pro. perty, and went into business with ano. ther adventures, who had made and lost. already, half d dozen fortunes. The other (of the two first named) had no education at all; had been put ap- prentice 10 retail shop-keeper, at the age of twelye;and had gtown up to man hood, in course of adventure, that, iii any country but this, would have been thought romantic aud wonderful-as well as complete disqualification for every kind of serious business.
 These two, as ] have said, were part ners in the same house. They soon ex- tended their operations over all the U. States; made money-speeulated failed. A council was held between them. The younger of the two, he who had no education-spent several hours in determining whether he should be. come a soldier, 0or he was weary oi mercantile affairs go to India upset the British power there; or 10 South America. and help to reyolutionize two or tlEae empires in that quarter;a cler- gyman. (but upon that profession he hardly bestowed a second thought, af. ter the reflection occurred, that, in A. merica there was neither rank, revenue, Tor dominion, for the clergy;) } q physi. elan; a lawyer; an actor; an auetioneer, ora politician. The result was, that be concluded to become a lawyer-the law in America being the highway to the highest honors of the government while his partner resolved 10 become a divine.
 The first went forthwith to his room laboring night and day for several years Supporting hi,nselt,in the mean time, by what no body but an American, in such situation, would have thought ot in America his pen,) became distiit- guished, and now a counsellor at-law in the Supreme Court of the United States. And yct--hardl, eight years have pass ed since he was broken merchant. wholly uncducated, ,and apparently help less. In the mean time, his partner pur- sued his studies in his own way; and is now one of the most distinguished cler- gymen in the United States.
