The COnI,sOtIOre's Secret.

The great success of the late Commo-
dore Vanderbilt in steamboating and
railroading, whereby he amassed a larger
fortune than any other private person
during lifetime, has naturally awaken
ed strong desire to learn the secret OF
his uniform and most surprising achicv.
ments. The Commodore himself, when
questioned upon the subject during the
latter years of his life, gave various ex-
plantations of it. To one young man,
who was about entering upon the career
of q Wall street broker, and who had
sought his counsel, he said: Sonny.
don't never sell what yon havn't got" "
which was an excellent piece of advice
Tor a stock broking adventurer, not
withstanding its defective gramma
20 another he said: "Sam, don't never
put it into any mans power to ruin you. ?"
And this might be put in letters of gold
rver the desks Of every one who takes
financial risks, whether in Wall stree:
II elsewhere. and it would be an excel
lent maxim also for politicians. To an.
other aspirant for fortune, who had
,sked his advice, he said Don't never
nuy what you can't pay for"
These were three admirable maXims
ior business, and he probably acted
through his long and successful career
in strict conformity with them. FL
never specialized nor made any rasl
ventures. But his favorite maxim, and
most seriously inculcated upon those
who were on the most intimate terms
with him, was q condensation of one
among the wisest of the proverbs OF
solomon: SIN labor there, is profit
but the talk of the lips tendeth only to
penury." The Commodore had proba-
bly, never read this golden proverb, and
he can hardly be said to have para
phrased it in putting it into his homely
device: "Keep your mouth shut" This
is what he said to his young grandson
upon whom he based his hopes.of found
ing dynasty, only few days before
his own mouth was closed forever. He
had been giving the young man some
words of serious advice, and he ended
by saying: "But above all, keep your
mouth shut" He used to say that he
owed most of what was called his good
fortune to the practice of keeping to
himself what he meant to do until he
had done it. And this has been the
habit of all great men WHO have done
anything during their lives to excite the
wonder of their feIlowb eings.-N y.
