How Girard became Rich.

His neighbors, the merchants of Phifa-
delphia, deemed him lucky man. Many
of them thought they could do as well he,
if they only had his luck. But the great
volumes of his letters and papers, pre-
served in a room in Girard College, show
that his success in business was not due, in
any degree whatever, togood fortune. Let
a money-making generation take note, that
Girard principles inevitably produce
Girard results. The grand, hefundament-
al secret Of his success, as of all success,

NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS HAVE
" been made to me for information as to the
policy to be adopted OH the subject Of labor.
All can understand the importance of ma
king crop the present season, and foresee
the misery and suffering consequent upon its
failure.
In the present unsettled state of the country
and in the absence of any recognized State au:
thorities, I find it nay duty to assume control
of the plantations near tho military lines, and
order rs follows:
1st. The planters, after taking the oath of
allegiance, will assemble the freedmen (ately
their slaves) and inform them that they are
free, and that hencetorth they. must depend
upon their own excrtions for their support
I'd. Equitable contracts in writing will be
made bv the owners Of. the land with the
freedmen for the cultivation of the land during
the present year.
Payment will be made in kind, and the al
lowance of one half the crop is recommended
as fair compensation for the labor, the landlord
furnishing subsistence until the crop is made.
These contracts will be submitted to the near
est military or naval commander for approval
and endorsement. :.
When the above requirements are complied
with, protection will be granted as far as mill
tary necessity will allow; but where no contract
is made, the crop raised will be considered for
feitcd for the use Of the laborers. Should the
owner; refuse to cultivate It, they will be con-
sidercd as endeavoring to embarrass the Gov
ernlncnt, and the aud will be used for colonies
of tile freedmen from the interior
