bankruptcy, or TO the entire satisfaction Of his
creditor.
Who does no, see that much higher degree of
intelligence-much more extensive information, is
necessary than once was, TO enable men to con-
duct any kind Of business with success. From
this view of the subject, the man Of business has
more need OF a wellstorcd and well disciplined
mind than almost any others, as without capa-
city to acquire information of what is going on i'm
the world, and the power to reason correctly on
things and understand their bearings OH the busi-
