10 the csss Of the Eneands. In the winter Of 1885,
poor boy, hiendlsss, III clad, and hungry, fed from
his home, on Long Island, in consequence Of i'll.
treatment frsm his father, and obtained from Mr..
Bennett the right Of selling the HERALD 10 the
First ward. He was honest, industrious, and ever
ready at bis post-needless to say that at the end
Of q few years, he had laid by money and was a6le
to start in the Sixth ward which he retains, with
the one to which he owes his fortune BY judi
cious management of his capital and ctintegrity,
Edwin England has realized o sum exceeding
$25 600, part of which is invested in the property
known rs $50 Broome street, and the remainder in
bank stocks He was followed, some seven Yeas
ago, by another England, whose good fortune is
still more astonishing than that of his rela-
ton. Having begun the world with nothing but
his own energy to rely upon, in the space Of
four years he accumulated 5000, with which he
purchased a fine farm on Long Island He has 81 ace

would now fetch $4,000 we're it forced into the
market He works it himself, and may be seen,
between two and three every morning, driving in
from bis cottage to the city, to serve his customers
With the HERALD His industry and enterprise have
secured him small fortune.about equal to that Of
bis namesake We find yet another Eugland in
we have mentioned. He, it seems, vas formerly
mikmap; but dshear!ened by the neglect of the pub
lie and the want of customers he determined to be-
come purveyor Of more nu,ricious diet, aud be-
gan to sell the HERALD in Staten Island. The
change was fortunate one. As the population on
the island ncrea sed in numbers and intelligence,
he demand for the HERALD became more consider

and stores in Brooklyn to the amount of $4,000.
The HERALD is sold in Brooklyn by several car
rers, who are all doing well. The principal one is
named Lusk; he makes about $6 day, and is sup
posed to be worth from Eve to six thousand dollars.
Another, named Green, clears So day, and has
saved money.
j. Mott sells the HERALD in Hoboken. Like
most of the fraternity, he began with nothing, and
had very slender prospects of lettering his condition.
he has often crossed to Hoboken with but dozen
HERALDs for sale Luckily for him, Hoboken was
rising place, and afford to take six or sew
en- hundred copies of the paper Mott has thus been
enabled to purchase comfortable house, and pos
sess round sum of ready cash besides. In ik
manner, the fortunes Of Powell have frightened
with the growth Of Williamsburg; the HERALD has
provided him with house and lot of land, and fur
nished his purse with some three or four thousand
dollars.
The most profitable of all the HERALD routes is
that which is held by Meehan in New Jersey. His
history is lesson to many Of the youths who are
now idlers in the streets Only twelve years ago, he
was friendless Starvation staring him in the
face, in utter recklessness he shipped on board
merchant vessel, and made sea voyage, which
seems to have operated favorably on his incna-

perance society, and began to sell the HERALD His
sales now give him an average profit of SO day;
and he has occasionally Melted as much as $50 and
$50 day. He is possessed of real estate in this
city, Jersey City, and the neighborhood, worth
about $50, 900.
Thus we see that in the calling ofnewspaper
asn every other honesty, diligence, and regularity Of
conduct never fail to lead to prosperity. 1t seems
small matter at first to make prof of halls cent on
newspaper; but thousand half cents make S., and,
as the preceding sketches show many Of carriers
sell over that number. While it is to US mat
ter Of no small satisfaction to know that We have
been in measure instrumental in raising SO many
families to position Of comfort and plenty, we
trust that the perusal Of the foregoing lines will not
be unattended with profit by the boys Of New York.
We fervently hope that it may be the means of in
ducipg many of those who are now leading life Of
idleness, misery, and vice, to turn to some honest
calling, and emulate the mertorious conduct of those
whose reward we have chronicled. And we feel con-
fdent that it will not be lost upon those who are
already engaged in the calling of newspaper car
riers They viii perceive, feel assured, that if
integrity and perseverance command success, no
glect Of business, dishonesty and disrespect to those
in whose employ they are, cannot fail to lead to
poverty and disgrace. If these anticipations are
realized, we shall have attained our object
GENERAL WALBRIDGE AND THE BRITISH BRIBERY
Case AS a simple act Of justice to General Wal
bridge the democratic candidate Of the Third dis.
trct for Congress, lay before the public in our
columns this morning, several letters from men
whose names are a sufficient guaranty Of the truth
of their testimony, in vindcatioD of the character
and conduct Of General Walbridge while in London.
These letters are complete refutation of the vii
famous charges brought against him by Williams s.
Lockbart, of Change Alley, London, in connection
with their miserable and dsgraceful attempt TO
bride an American press to their discreditable abo
lition and stock obbing purposes in the defeat Of
Walbridge. Whatever may be the result Of the cleo.
ton, the British faction in London, in their base
attempts to intermeddle in our elections, will have
received rebuke which they will be apt to
remember, in their exposure; but they will probably
derive some consolation from the fact that their br
berry money has been appropriated to objects of cha
rity. We have thus made them do good in spite Of
themselves, half dozen other letters Of the high
est credibility, have been placed at disposal in
defence of General Wabridge, but we consider that
his case Is perfect and conclusive, without them,
against his British adversaries.
