AN EXAMPLE FOR. YOUNG MEN* As tho curious stranger passes by the gay crowds and glittering shops thul have long made Chestnut sired alike an evidence of the wealth of pur mer chants and the gaiety of our pcoplej'among |he many interesting objects that attract his attention, are the noble edifice at tho corner of Third street, and the granite , building nearly opposite, just completed on (he northern side of that great fashionable thorough fare. Each is five stories liigh, and both are located in the very heart of thul busy tide, tho current of which never ocsses from dawn until midnight. And from dawn (o night, and from night to dawn again, does the first of these imposing structures pnlpitsle and respond to the motion of the. little world wiihin It. As (hc'int)Os(rlaus artisan,boWcf and'folds In hand, passes by (he deserted street, on liis way to toil, just as day breaks in the east, ho will hear (he hum of wheels in its subterranean chambers, ami as tho rirgihborhoud goes to bed it is lulled to sleep by (ho stfmo ceaseless and mysterious clatter. That building never sleeps, Its great eyes ore always I open. Its tireless energies arc always in motion, I whether it bo in the broad noon of'day, or in the stilly noon of night—whether it bo evening or mor ning, work-duy or holiday, The biluted citizen stops on his way from tho theatre to listen to its strange noises; and the foreigner.just landed at our wharves, seek in vain to penetrate the mystery, het Us dis close the interesting secret. On the 2611 i of March, 1836, three Journeymen printers—poor and friendless—determined to start a "penny poper" in Philadelphia. The experiment hud been made before, and hud failed. It hud been made by men of Wealth, and hy men of ability; but h could not be carried successfully Into operation.— The public prejudice was'against It. "A penny paper" -was not respectable, or genteel, or aristocrat, cal; wl,clover the cause, calamity had always been lie biller fruit of Hie true. Tlie.e lliree yiiug men, boa ever, were not l„ bo d.untcd by .1,1, Uu.eieib,,, welcome. They look bold oftlio enterprise firmly and feiirlcly-in a word, llioy pul tlielr l.auda In ibo plow and never.looked back. They had ho mo ney, but they hud enthusiasm, industry and mcrsb vxrancr. - They worked tiny and . night. -They col. lecled subscribers and advertisements, and acted ]p ,tho capacity of editors, compositors, reporters, nows gatherers; and all; and although their articles were [not all written with the nervous eloquence of a Lcoobtt, nor tholr reports equal to those of,tho Lon-1 dun Titnft, j*ot they progressed, by slow degrees, li I is lrue,bul'stlll sufficiently'to cncourage lhcm In thoj work. ; 1 This was tho beginning of the Public Lrdokr,— After having labored long and zealously, tho exertions ofthn proprietors,and (heir boldness and ability,(on, begun- to be rewarded. One of tho results of (lie hutcr did much, to give impetus (o their project. They dured to rebuke fearlessly ond indignantly those nightly scenes of violence led on by. (he students in the different colleges of medicine—scenes which lud become alarmingly frequent, which disturbed even .the places of publio worship, made it dangerous to walk tho streets unguarded, ond disgraced tho public places of omuaomcnl nnd resort. The scorching de nunciations ef the Ledger at first awoke the ire of those imitators of tho London Apprentices, but a(W a brief struggle, the Press achieved a victory which husbclm followed by the host results; and those who were formerly tho causo:of frequent and frightful disturbances, arc now, though a temporary part of tho community, generally a decorous and exemplary I body of young men. This look place when (he Ledger was published in a small and obscure room In the Arcodo. Shortly afterwards the concern was removed to the corner of Dock and Second streets. It was published here when, in: 1837, tho populace rose sn masse, and burnt Pennsylvania Hall, an act that it did not hesitate to denounce os a violation of 1 n,. 8,1 ou,rn ® 8 upon the rights of property. Iho Ledger now became a paper of murk. Its I opinions were respected and influential. Its circuhi. lion was extended to all pans of.lhla:and adjoining Stales. De/bre this time It ; had absorbed the only penny paper nf importance ip existence when It atarted. In 1640, the same three Journeymen prin ter!—Swaim, Abel, and. SiuMONa-ereoted (he bulk ing at tho corner ofThlrd and Clicsnut streets, since considerably enlarged, and now worth 640,000,^-* It Is In that building the Ledger Is printed, it is from’ that building the Lodger Is published. The edifice on the north side of Chestnut street 'nearly opposite, built of Quincy Granite, is also* 'owned by these enterprising gentlemen. It i« thirty foot front by one hundred and oightymno fact deep— Is five stories high—and is connected In* (lie roar with another building also five stories high. The different Telegraph offices are located in (lie second story; thu remainder of the rooms being’intended for stores and other purposes. This building and tho ground upon whioli it is-built cost over sixty thou sand dollars. , , These poor Journeymen printers, loo; are joint owners ofoonlluridsin Schuylkill county, upon whloh (hey receive tho interest of over. $8(10,UU0 per annum I A. & W.
