The engine was stopped; the bout was drifting straight upon the breakers; when Commodore Vanderbilt, a mere passenger, 110 1400 a nenr the pilot bourn eßnn cslly watching [lntro, Jumped to the wheel, rung on every inch of steam, rushed her through the tossing, driving fleet, tearing bowsprits, unship ping booms, slicing off fancy sterns, and lu twenty minutes swung the steal iner safe and sound beside 'her quiet dock. The Commodore says that, tu the THE LEHIGH REGISTER, AtLENTOWN, NEDNE§DAir, NOYEgi3MT4,IB69. moment before decision, ho laid out his:course through the whole fleet and balanced probable damages all round to within five hundred dollars. This action fairly analyzed, presents the solid, logical secret of the man's whole career; for this career, while brilliant as Aladdin's, a seem ing carnival of luck, is but the logical fruit of that forethought, imagination, and Judgment, which compose the executive genius—a genius su perior to the scientific; a glance that, like Napo leon's on the battle. fleld, sweeps the situation and detects its every detitil ; an imagination swift In expedients fur protection and success ; a judgment as swift and clear to balance the good. and 11l ; and all these faculties so vivid and compact, that they at once create and justify a will strong as a tide and sweeping all other wills into Itself. But, while the Commodore's process of accumu lation bas employed a genius eminently Ids own and which cannot be acquired by others, yet it presents certain qualities, on the other hand, which illustrate Franklin's simplest saws, and which any one may emulate, with a surety of respectable success. It is for the thousands of young men . • . throughout our country, who envy the splendid result, but little know the . meaue which have pro cured It, that we give a few new traits of the Commodore's character and career. Contrary perhaps to general belief, his financial plans, while bold and rapid in their execution, are conceived with the utmost thoroughness and cau tion. Of the hundred schemes that nasal] him in a year from every side, not one tempts him with out first giving every human probability of success. Ile never undertook a present debt for a future and contingent gain ; and lie accepted the partnership which opened fortune to him, only on condition that no borrowed capital should be employed, but only the regular profits should be returned Into the business. Unlike the majority of men rapidly enriched, whose parlors and equipages and routs only flaunt their owners' wicked folly, the Com modore has always maintained a quiet and sub stantial style in his social and domestic life, and a 'great temperance and regularity in all his private habits. Let every young reader note another trait. The Commodore, from boyhood, never undertook any thing, whet her to scull a yawl, or build au ocean fleet, or organize a fifty-million railroad, 'without determining to do that thing thoroughly and bet ter than any man had ever done before him ; and lie pat head as well ns hand to It., Ile would out sell another man in a friendly race, then change boats With him and beat him again. After beat ing every craft that sailed his waters, he took' to heating himself by inventing better models of hull than the best ship-builders had known before. SO strong and satisfying was this worthy pride in ac tion for action's own sake, that in early life he gave his services for ten years at a thousand a year without asking higher pay, till duty to his growing family compelled a change. It is a fact, that his enterprises producing the most of golden profit have sprung from this Napoleonic instinct of enparlority and power, rather than from that of money and a name. Ills whole physiognomy —ono of the finest In America, and never rendered worthily by any photograph, bronze, or picture that we have seen—proves "the ements, so mixed" in him. In a word, apart from the special endowment of executive genies, the Commodore differs Mainly front other men simply in this: he takes the max im, " First he sure you'ie right—then go ahead I'' and drives it with a forty-thousand horse-power; while most men never make quite sure that they are "right," and, when they are, don't "go ahead' . as If they half believed it. We hope that this statement of these causes, always available, to success in life, may arrest every ,young man who has falsely imagined that the grandest fortune in our country has sprung from Wall-st. gambling or reckless speculation anywhere, instead of broad foresight, patient judgment, and resistless energy of Y.
