Hon. HENRY CLAY. In another part Of to-

Henry Clly to the address of Mr. Underwood,
on behalf Of the Kentucky electors Of presi-

the man. 1t broathos the purest spirit Of pa
triotisn-and shcws, that rcviIed and defeated
as Mir. Clay has been, he still retains the same
ardent attachment and devotion to his country
which have marked his public career for near
y forty years. His public life mas terminated,
and he retires to the tranquility and happiness
Of the domestic circle, not only with the con-
vlcton Of having well and faithfully served his
country in the various public stations to which
he has been called; but with the full assurance
that he carries with him to his retirement, the
aff@ctionate regard and gratitude Of numer-
Gus, respectable and intelligent portion of his
fellow citizens. Indeed, as lie is now removed
from the arena Of political conflict, we cannot
doubt that lac will receive the respect due to
his merits, even from those who were but late
ly his most determined opponents Defeat
cannot obscure his greatness, as a patriot, ora
tor and statesman, nor oblteratc the remen-
brance Of the many distinguished services
which he has rendered to his country. The
retirement of such a man is TO be regretted on
public account--to himself 1t must BIZ q relief

INDECENT SICK SocErr. We yesterday
published the report of the lady managers Of
this most excellent institution; and only regret
that The means placed at their disposal have
not been sufficient to enable them to aid the af
fiicted to The full measure of their humane and
charitable dispositions. We hope that their
enIeayors to cheer the sick-bods Of the ind-
gent may hereafter be better appreciated, and
more literally sustained
1t will be seen by the advertisement Of the
"Fakir Of Ava" that, with praiseworthy libe-
rality, he proposes to apply the nett proceeds
of his exhibition on Friday evening next in
aid of the funds Of this socety--and we sin
cerely hope, that those who arc friendly 10 the
objects of the society, will seize the occasion
to contribute to their success. Let the room
on that night be filled to OVERLOOKING, that the
ladies' Of the society may have the means to
relieve and console the indigcn! sick during
the present cold season.
As there are probably many persons who
would like TO contribute TO the funds of the In
dgcnt Sick Society, who may net be present
at the exhibition mentioned above, they are re-
specially invited to leave their contributions
and names at this Office. Both will be handed
over by the senior editor of this paper, to tue
ladies Of the Institution, together with the
amount received from the Fakir, and state

dividual peculiariles. Mr.. Astor was
early endowed with extraordinary clear
ness of judgement and comprehensiyeness
of views. Divesing every subject upon
which his mind was brought to bear, Of
all irrelevant matter, he went straight to
the giSt, detecting instantly the weak
points in an argument, and adduclng the
strong ones with equal force and simple
ity. His was a mind which flew where
other nieIlects walked, and often reached
the remotest bearings Of question be-
fore they had established the point of de-
parture. This celebrity of combination,
inexpllcable as the computations of Zerah
Colburn, early give him an incalcuable
advantage over all his competitors.
10 appreciate the results of such a
mans life, and TO derive from it lesson
of instruction, we should constantly bear
in mind its point of departure. This is
equally applicable to the lives of all dis
tinguished self-made men. Let each of
Us represent 10 himself such a task before
him, and inquire how he could achieve it,
There are many virtues unnotced by the
multitude and unchronicled by biogra-
pliers, which have been essential elements
of their success. Let the lover of world
Iy ease and indulgence imagine, for in
stance, early self-denaI. 1t is easy in the
prime of lie to dispense with many en-
joyments, which, when denied to the
youth, become real privalions. When,
therefore, man has raised himself, great

statesman, a jurist, or merchant--and

John Jacob Aston, the son of BailiG'

near Heidelberg in the grand duchy OF
Baden, in the year l763.-ln March
1874, he Landed at Baltimore, having sail
ed from london in the preceding Novem.
Der, and been detained three months by
ice in the Chesapeake Bay.
1T is said that, in storm on our coast,
which threatened the destruction of the
ship and crew, while the other passen-
gers were lost in apprehension, and re-
CARELESS OF aught, save self-preservation,
Mr.. Astor appeared upon deck, arrayed
III his best clothes. This excited some
surprise, and when asked his obiec! in
dlscard'ng the more appropriate garb he
had worn during the voyage, he replied
that if he escaped with his life it would
be with his best clothes, and if he perish
no matter what became Of them Luck
NY the storm passed over
During his detention in the Chesa-
peake, he made the acquaintance of a
couniryman of his, furrier by trade, who
willingly initiated him into the mysteries
of his craft, and counselled him to invest
the proceeds of his merchandise por.

men's ftom a broher's mandatory in

twenty years of age, and having decided
TO become iurrier, brought to his new
pursuit all the activity of youth, with
those habits of dilgent observation which
had developed themselves IN his charac-
ter.
This was at the close of the revolution.
AIRY war. Peace had been proclaimed
with Great Britain the year previous; bu,
the British military outposts within our
territory had not been relinquished, and
the commercial intercourse with Canada
was restricted. Mr.. Aslor has been
heard to observe that, at the time he
prophcsied that ten years would not
elapse before Oswego, Niagara, Detroit,
Mlchlllmacklnac and other posts within
our lines, would be relnquished; and
said TO himself 'then, when the frontiers
are surrendered, will make my fortune
in the fur trade
Both predictions were accomplished.
Ihe treaty with Great Britain, of 1894
%, removed the restrictions on our
trade with her colonies, and surrendered
the above outposts, and then Mr.. Astor,
having The trade with the Canadas and
WIN our western country, both open to
t''s enterprise, proceeded rapidly to real
Use the fortune, the foundation of which
