In old monarchical countries, whe're titles
Hemp merit, and the man infamous on the
'sties principle as a' potato, because the vatuable
,part lb Underground, hereditary wealth keeps up,
a race of drones, who would never rise above
paupers it their own exertions had to build their
Own fortunes. There, to be born with , ti silver
spoon in Mei . months, gives them a place above
their fellows, and to do nothing useful either 'for
themselves' or their fellow-men, seems to be the
'passport to what is called "good tiociOtyt” Even
there, some few, by perseverance and energy.
accumulate great wealth, and gather round them
the luxuries of life, and live in splendid etoe; but
can never enter the charmed circle of thb favored
few, who have descended. from the bold adventu
rer:the unscrupulous soldier and the minions of.
a mightier robber, called a hero or a king.
Even in France, under the consulate, it was the
favorite boast of the great Napoleon that every
ono of his soldiers bore in his knapsack a Mar
shal's baton. That, which' in the Frenchman,
was a mere metaphor, is, in Our Republic, a plain
fact, and the humblest boy, who runs about hat
less and shoeless, has the chances of becoming
one of our great ones. It only requires the
mem , and the virtue, and he will rise, held
down by no trammels of birth or accident of
iieme: -
To an energetic man in our country, it is but
necessary to deserk success and it will assuredly
follow. Honorable dealings, industrious
and unswerving perseverance t 'suc in
building up colossal fortuneionore honorable to
their possessors than all the hereditary titles of a
duet" or peer. The one golden rule is that so
facetiously given by Charles Lamb, "You'll get
fat on a rock if you'll stick to it, a muscle does."
Among the many honorable examples of per
,severance and honorable trading, leading to
princely independence, few are more marked
then the career of Dr. JH. Schenck, of Philadel
phia. For thirty years he has been engaged in
the manufacture of these world-renowned spe
cifics, the SeaweedVonic, Pulmonle Syrup, and
Ms Mandrake Pills. Knowing the intrinsic value
of these medicinal preparations, and having con
fidence in their value, he spared no exertions to
get them into the world's market.
At first totally unknown, the struggle to intro
duce them was an arduous one, and a less ener •
getic min would have given up in despair, but
kuowing that he possessed what must be appre
ciated when fully known, for twenty-two• years
he kept them before the public, liberally expend
ing large sums in pushing them by means of ad
vertising, until they became, in every quarter of
this immense continent, "a household word,"
and their names,as well as the articles themselves,
might, without a pun, be said to be in every
body's, month. About eight years ago the lone
looked-for reward began to assume gigantic pro
portions, and now he:finds himself in possession
of a magnificent fortune, with the Inclinations and
taste to enjoy its advantages and extend the hos
pitalities within its power to a numerous circle
of firm friends and acquaintance'.
Looking back, over a space of thirty years, to
the humble period, when the Sea Weed Tonic
was prepared In a solitary barrel, and now geeing
epee the magnificent manufactory, where it and
the other articles are made in almost endless
quantities, he may well feel proud of the results
•.)i perseverance and fair trading.
k As the leading tonic of the day, the Seaweed
eAsettrivithout a rival. The large building.
which, even now, in architectural beauty and at
traction equals anything else in the city of
brotherly love has become too confined, and the
next spring will see erected on the Northeast
corner of Sixth and Arch streets a marble build
ing for the carrying on of his immense trade,
eclipsing in magnificence all other stores.
In his laboratory every improvement known to
modern science is employed, and the steam
machine, with eccentric drum, for the exclusive
manufacture of the Mandrake Pills, Is a curiosity
of mechanical dexterity for lightening the labor
of man.
In giving the history of a fortune thus success
fully, built up, is will not be out of place to in
quire into the manner of using so great an estate;
whether the hang years of accumulation have
dried up the higher qualities of the mind, or
whether a liberal employment of the gifts of
Fortune show that the blind Goddess has for
once bestowed it where it will be worthily used.
Dr. Schenck has, at Schenek's Station, fifteen
miles from Philadelphia,and on the railroad lead
ing from Philadelphia to New York, built himself
a country residence, or summer retreat, which
he has surrounded and filled with all the luxuries
of art and nature which make the chief blessings
of life. It is one of the finest residences near the
Delaware ; erected at a cost of 00,000, and sur
rounded by a farm of some 300 acres in a mag
nificent state of cultivation. The situation is
picturesque, the location healthy, and here the
successful man of business, in the bosom of an'
amiable family, enjoys his otium cum dignitate,
proudly conscious that he owes all to his own
energies. The whole place reveals the man of
wealth, refined by culture and fine taste. Con
servatories, in which are treasured all the rarities
of Flora, both of temperate and torrid zones;
a garden which Adam, in his innocence,
might have coveted; barns, stables,buildings, and
agricultural machinery of the most approved
style, fine horses, unexceptionable carriages, and
stock of the most expensive breeds, the whole
superintended by the best gardiner, the best
coachman and the best farming steward in the
United States. The farm is within a ring fence,
and the different lots are separated by the moat
approved fences. The whole is so beautifully
tilled and free from weed as to lie before the par
lor windows a map of beauty and care. On the
river hard by,rides like a swan, a splendid yacht.
of which he le himself captain, and can steer to
a miracle. On a low portion of the ground he
contemplates making a private fish pond, which
will ski much to the attractiveness of the place.
Having paid attention to the surroundings, we
will enter the house, where the host and his lade,
with one amiable daughter and two sons, are
prepared to give us a plain, straight-forward,
unsophisticated welcome. An old-fashioned
quilting is taking place, for you meet remember
these are none of your new-dangled folks, who
ape the manners of aristocratic absurdity, but
the genuine old Eastern stripe, who make you
at home in a minute, and by their ease and
heartiness remove the "stranger" feeling at a
word. Within taste reigns supreme, and witn
out the ostentatious display, everything is of the
choicest and most costly character, carved .forT
niture, plate glass, richly chased sets of rarest
plate, pictures by the old and modern masters, a
library of books gorgeous in true calf and Tur
key morocco, all arranged with an exquisite eye
for harmony,and all seemingly without straining
after effect. Here we were welcomed, and here,
with the noble-bearted proprietor, his son May
ward, a worthy chip of the old block, and the
hospitable lady of the house, we telt what happy
home and cheerful converse could do. Separated
from the house is a private billiard room, where
parties can relax from severer cares and enjoy at
leisure in the king at games.
In addition to this palace built and fitted by
the hands of the commercial enterprise and de
served success, Dr. Schenck has in the city his
winter residence, a high stoop, marble house,
fitted with every comfort, appliance and modern
Improvement. Thus lives the proprietor of the
leading family medicines of the day, and the
founder, unaided, of a colossal fortune.
Hale and hearty, fifty.five years of ago, a long
life, we trust, is yet before him, during which he
may enjoy all those comforts and luxuries which
he has so fortunately acquired and richly de
serves. Our visit to his place is a green spot in
life'ri history, and we shall always remember with
pleasure the old-fashioned hospitality we experi
enced at Schenek's Station.—DavenportDensoorat.
Fire in Pittsburgh,
The Pittsburgh Commercial of yesterday says :
About a quarter past ten o'clock Saturday even

Italian Opera in India.
A correspondent of the London Orchestra writes
from Calcutta, December 7th: The Italian opera
performances are this year exceptionally good.
The operas that have been-presented up to the
present time are "Linda de ChautounLx,"'''Lnere
'ile Borgia," "II Ballo in Mascherk" "gads" and
"Ernani." Other operas woald have been
given, but their production has been re
carded owing to the indLepositlon of one of
the membera of the company. Signora Bonen',
the prima donna assoluta, is a most, charming
artist ; she has a fine voice' of good compass ;
she sing s with taste, feeling and expression, and
in "Luerezia Borgia," &c., has won golden °pin
tiOnt. Signora Tortolini, the prima donna Leg
gier-a, does not possess so good a voice, but sings
with correctness, truth and feeling. In 'Ueda di
Chamonelx" and "Marta" her performances were
exceedingly good. Signori Magna,' (baritone),
Gasperini (basso), Bonfassi (buffo) and Careseill
(tenore), with Signor D'Antoni, a very fine bari
tone, but who has only been able to'appear once
on account of delicate health, are the other new
male members of the company.' which, with the
exception of the bulb, is a great improvement
upon last year.
