The SECRET OF SUCCESS.-It may to
some appear like vanity in me to write
what | now do, but | should not give my
life truly if omitted it. When tilhng a
cart of manure a. the farm dunghlll, l
never stopped work because my side OF
the cart was heaped up before the other
side, at which was another man; push
ed over what [ had heaped up to help
him, as doubtless he did help me, when l
was last and he was first When have
filled my column or columns of newspa-
per, or a sheet of magazine, with the
literature for which [ was to be paid, l
have never stopped if the subject required
more elucidation, or the paper or maga-
zine more matter, because there was no
contract for more payment, or no likeli-
hood of being more. When have lived
in barrack-rooms l have stopped my own
work, and have taken baby from SOL
.diers wife, when she had to work, and
.nursed it, or have gone for water for her,
or have cleaned another mans accoutre-
.lnents. though it was no part of my duty
to do SO. When | have been engaged liz
political literature and travelling for a
newspaper, | have not hesitated to travel
many miles out of nay way to ascertain Il
local fact, or to pursue subject into its
.lninutest details, if 1t appeared that the
public were acquainted with the facts OF
the subject; aud this at times when l
had work to do which was much more
pleasant and profitable. When l have
needed employment, have accepted it
at whatever wages / could obtain-at
plough, in farm drain, in stone quarry, at
breaking stones for roads, at woodcut-
ling, III "a saw pit, civilian, or as soldier
l have in London cleaped out stable and
groomed a claimants horse for sixpence,
and been thankful to the cabman for the
sixpence. Ihave' subsequently tried liter
ature, and have done as much writing for
10 shillings as have readily obtalned-
sought alter and offered-Ien guineas for.
But had [ not been content 20 begin at
the beginning. and accepted shillings, !
would not have risen to guineas. have
lost nothing by working. Whether at la
boxing or literary work, with spade or
pen, have been my own helper.

OUR New POSTMASTER GENERAL-The
editor of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer
relates the following anecdote of Mr.. Col
lamer, of Vermont, our new Postmaster
General
He is, to an extent, rare even i'll this
country of wonderful opportunities and
facilities for success, the arti6cer of his
own fortunes, having raised himself, by
the most strenuous efforts, from poverty
to his present place. To illustrate his
exertions and his merits in this regard,
we may, without improperly, repeat here
a remark we heard him make at dinner
of the graduates of his Alma Mater-the
University of Vermont-overa year ago.
Speaking of one of the early Presidents
of that institution, who was in office
while he was in college, Mr.. c. said he
never heard him utter what seemed to
him harsh reproof, but once, and that
was when he directed him never again
to appear i'll the recitation room without
shoes. The harshness of the remark, he
said, sprung from the fact that he had no
shoes. He procured some, however, and
for the sake of economy, carried them III
his hand to the door of the recitation room,
and then put them on.
The Baltimore Sun, commenting here
on, says that such an anecdote as this is
better than patent of nobility, and we
rather guess that MIR. Collamer, will make
an efficient head of the Post Office.

A FAMILY OF DEsPERADoEs.-Am man
named Walter Maythe was killed recent
ly in Cincinnati, in a drunken frolic.-
The incident gives occasion to the Gin
connati Commercial to recapitulate the
various facts of the family, who all seem
to have been desperadoes. First, Smith
Maythe, after performing various exploits
in his vocation as a robber, after having
broken several penitentiaries, meets with
death upon the scafold by the summary
hands of an incensed mob in Kentucky.
Scott Maythe, connected with band of
counterfeners on an Island in the Missis-
sippi. was shot down and killed by officers
in the vicinity of Manchester. Another
of the brothers was killed in St. Louis,
and another is now in the Ohio Peniten-
tiary. 70 close the infamous career of
this family of desperadoes. Walter May
the, who had served in Penitentiaries and
iails for his crimes, was killed in a brawl
few days since. So ends the race.

OLD ZAcKs JUC.-The following ex-
cellent temperance story is told by the
editor of the Grand River Eagle.
We were highly amused yesterday.
On the bridge that crosses the tumbling
waters of Grand Rapids, we met hale
old man. with eleven sons, seven daugh-
ters, thirty-seyen grandchildren and has
own wife-the only one he ever had,
with numerous horses, carts, wagons,
oxen. cows, calves, sheep, and furniture
of every antiquated appearance, among
which were to be seen cradles for babies,
cradles for grain, spinning wheels. pots,
kettles, and almost every thing requisite
for settlement such as fifty blood
| relations will make in the Grand River
country. After stopping the train, and
making many enquiries, we asked the
old gentleman what use there could be
made of a bottomless jag, which was
carefully laid in a safe place, among his
domestic equipments, and received the
following reply:
"Why, sir | am man of many years,
and lots of children, and more a comm
and have worked other peoples land all
my days-paid from four to nine bushels
of grain per acre rent, every year for
doing it--have all that time used Jug
with a bottom in it, and l got sick of
feedin' other people with my own hands,
either landlords or llmseller-so sent
seven Of my boys down to Mexico to
fight for some land-aud they all got
back safe, after fghtin' with Cen Taylor,
time enough to vote for him-amd they
brought seven quarter-sections of land
that please God, will be our own with
out rent.
And, now, that old jug you see there,
Opointing at the bottomless thing,) shall
hold all the whiskey or rum that will
be used in my hui family while I con-
trol'em; because old Gineral Taylor told
my son John that jug without a bot
tom was the best kind of Jug to put
liquor in, and if he was nay John he d
serve all the jugs to hum jist as they did
the Mexicans-take away their power to
kill us. Good day.
