more or less of the history and 4inccess of
John Jac%)l3 Astor, "tire richest man in Am

so, and to them the following sketch will
probably prove interesting. The 'career of
Mr. Astor wondertnl one. It. stands

Lionel illustration of the effect of wealth upon
the possessor-L-an *tensing nnwillingneas

of the one to'its proper offce,. and it trfdeing
of the other to ivcdiiling and peaceful transit
to its final 41, Who, Mier reading the fol

Astor 7 •

know him best, not only among the richest

world; The talent Whieh, in another age ;
and in another state of society, was exercised
in the art of war, is. now to a great extent

commests. In this depart ment of human ac
tion, Astor has
our
a great mind,—
Landing on our slimes as a common steer
a;ii passenger—a poor uneducated boy—a
stranger to the language and the people—he
has; by the sole aid of his own industry, ac.
cumulated u fortune scarcely second to that
of any , individual on the globe, and has ex
ecuted projects that have become identified
with the history of his country, and which'
will perpetuate his name to the latest age.
lie was bob in July, 1763, in the village
of IValdorp, near Heidelberg, in the Duchy
i of Bader, Germany. 'His father was a very
worthy man 'and held the office of baliff.— '
At the age of eighteen, young Astor, on the
eve of leaving his home for a foreign land,
resolved to be honest and industrious ; and ne-I
vel:to gamble. In March, 178-1, he landed at
Dalliance, a steerage passenger, having
sailed.frum London in Noveinber, and been
detained by the lee three months. 0.1 his
voyage he beuttine acquainted with a fellow
- countiyinan of - his, a furriei; who induced
Mr Astor to learn his art. The main por
tion of Mr. Aston's property at this time
consisted of seven flutes limn his brother's
manufactory, at London, which, with it few
oilier articles of merchandize, lie sold, and

quiNcv ADAMS TO lIIA SON;
ON EHE BIBLE AND ITS TEACHING'S.
111. F: - Mit * ArifTit view 111:11411T11 . I have
inviter' you to consider the Bible, is ii, the
light of Divine Revelation. Anti what are we
to- understand liy these terriA? I intend,;as
much as possible, to avoid the field el con
troversy, which I am not well acquainted
with. arid for which 1 Lava linlti respect, and
still less inclination. My idea Of the Bible
as a Divine Revelation is founded upon its
practierd.use to mankind, and not upon met
aphysical Aubtleties. There are three points
of doctrine, the belief rif which forms the
foundation of all morality. The first is, the
Existence of a cod; the second-is,, the Im-
I mortality of the Human Soul: and the third,
is, a Future State of Rewards and Punishr.-
mews. Suppose it possible for a man to dis
believe either of these articles-of htith, and
that man will,have-no conscience.: he . _will
have no other law-than that of the tiger, or,
the shank; the laws of man may bind him
in chains/ ortrirty put him to:deatiybilt they
never can malt° him wise, virtuous, or hap- -
,py. pis, poisible te-believe them all with
out fielieving that-the ,Bible is a Divine Rev-,
elation. It is so obvious to every reasonable
being that he did not make himself, and
the world which Ito inhabits did not Make'
itSelf, that the moment we begin' to exercise
the - power of reflection, it seems impossible
to escape the conviction that them is a Cre-.
-atos.-r-,-It -is,equaily,evident--that-t he-Gt eater,
udifsf be a spiritual, and.noi a material being:
there is also a consciousness that the think
ing part of our natures 'is not material, bet
. spiritual—that it is not subject to the-laws of
matter, nor perishable with it. I fence arises
the belief that we have an immortal souli and
puisning die train of thought which-the visi
ble creation and. ohs !rvation upon ourselves
-suggests, we trust soon discover that the
Creator must also be the Governor of the
Uniierse ; that His wisdom. and klis good
, tress, must be without bounds.,—that lle is a
i ighteous God and loves righteousness.—that
mankind ate bound by the laws of righteous
ness and are accountable to Him in their
obedience to Amu in this life, according to
their good br evil deeds. This c cimpletion
of Divine Justice must be reserved for ano
ther life. The eiistence of a Creator i the
tin tumidity of the human soul, and a future
state of retributioh, are therefore so-perfectly
congenial to naturalreason when once dis
covered—or rather it is so Impossible for
natural reason to disbelieve them—that it
would seem the light of natural . reason could
alone suffice fur their discovery; but. the
conclusion would not be correct. Human
reason may be Sufficient to get an obscure
al i m pse of these sacied and important truths,
but it cannot discover them. in all their clear
ness. For example :—iii all the number

event of their being attacked by.an:over

following characteristic, and well Anther:tin

a hard Sought,field, and while, the Duke -was
poring over some maps and plans of future
operations, he was aroused by the precipitate
entrance into his tent of one of the commis
saries, his countenance pale and wo-begone,
like he who " drew,Priam's curtain at the
dead of night," exclaiming, with half a
breath, f' Your Grace ! Gen. Dinyle and his
infernal Irishmen . have been fighting all day,
sir. Ile says they're as hungry as hounds,
your Grace; and as they've been fighting all
day, they must have something to eat: - They
look horrible, your. .Grace; ,they're all coy
ered with blood; and Gen. Doyle says
don't get them something to eet, he'll be
d— if he .doret hang
me on the highest
tree he can find P' .. The Duke loOked up at
the frightened commissziry,Whese trepidation
had not yet subsided, cooly saying, "Oh:
Doyle said so, did he! Then, my good fel
low, I'd. advise you to look out.fOr yoursel4,
for if Doyle said so, I'll be d— if he
don't do it." RIB needless to add that Gen,
"infernal irishmen," were well fed
thatnight.—N. 0. Delta. .
