Not the Place, but the Man.

g If we could only move into more snowy store"
said young merchant, " we could double our sales"
think thee is mistaken" answered an old Quaker,
who happened to be present; it is not the place
that brings business but the men,
The old Quaker was right 1t is always a fault to
depend for success on anything but yourself. The
experience Of all professions shows that it is energy
thrift, prudence, enterprise and knowledge of bust
ness, which bring prosperity Some of the largest
fortunes made by retailers in Philadelphia have
been made in streets originally obscure, though since
converted into thriving avenues OF traffic by the sue
cess of the iDdomitable men who first went there
There was time when Thrd-street had compare.
lively few jobbers and those who moved into it TO
economic their rent, were laughed at for locating
10 such an out.ot-the.way place but it now rivals
Marketstreet, chiefly through the success Of those
who originally moved into it, declaring that it was
not the place that made business, but Inc men. We
nigh, multiply examples, if necessary, from other
branches of commerce.
What is true of merchants is true of everybody
great lawye" will be sought after, wherever he
tablshes himself. People will employ the best me,
chancs no matter how far they have to 60 for them
There is but exception to this rule. II is that
even first rate adebs, whether in law, commerce,
physc or mechanics, most make their merits known
to the public If men hide their lights under bushel
of course the world will not recognize them. A pro-
minen business location is of value an advertise
ment but no farther; and fortunately for those who
cannot afford high rents it is not the only OF
advertising. But the finest of stores, or the most
central of Offices will not give permanent success to
either the merchant professional man, unless per.
sonal merit accompanies it. Young men, who would
rise in the world, must depend principally them
selves The only way to get to the top of the pyra-
mids is by climbing.
This brings US to the secret why 80 few sons Of
mllonares ever add to their fathers wealth, even
if they continue in business; for they depend on the
reputation of the old store, and not on their own
erons or they rely on capital instead of sagacity.-
Take your golden rule, in beginning life, the
maxum, " it is not the place, but the man."
Phil1deLDhin LEDGER.

They must have had fine time of it at Charlotte

nado, which visited that place 1t lasted only ten
minutes and yet did damage to the amount of about

Railroads were unroofed. The tall 20lh of May pole
was snapped off, A large brick building owned by

Extraordinary Incident of q Duel.

The New Orleans Bee, of the I'd inst, is response
BILE for the following:
duel was fought near this city yesterday (MOn-
day. morning, which for the singuIarity Of its de-
noumen, is perhaps unparalleled in the annals OF
single combat. A well known gentleman in this
community, whom we shall call Mr.. A., feeling him
self aggrieved by the conduct of another gentleman
whom we designate as Mr.. B., sent him challenge
which was accepted-weapons, pistols-distance'
twelve paces-tme, six o'clock in the morning. Inc
usual prelimnaries were settled, and at the word
fire. both pistols exploded. AT the instant b.
was seen 10 stagger. The seconds rushed up. when
was found that the ball had struck the outer case
of his hunting watch, from which it had glanced a.
nearly right angle, passing through the lapel Oh
his coat. The watch was worn on the breast pocde'
and was almost directly on The heart. The case was
found to be considerably battered but otherwise Inc
watch had sustained no injury, although thad gansu
about three hours in ma minutes. The hanuS,
which moment before had stood at 20 minutes pas
6, now marked half past q.
But perhaps the most curious part of the story -
to come. On looking round 10 see what had becoms
of A, the seconds discovered him leaning oveT' ~
