The road were superlatively horrid and had not our slow proces of travel been relieved by the dry wit of a Jew merchant, it would have been almost intolerable. Our driver, horses and coaches all did their pari admirably, but the roada the roada Thia Jew merchant proved to be not only a wit, but an interesting character in nearly every respect. One, among many of hia witiy pranks, occurred at a breiklaaiing house. As the stage drove up before the door, were all politely invited into a itore, to wash our hands and faces. The Jew, who really waa a genteel man, and understood well the little attentions that render a traveler comfortable, glancing around, and seeing no clean towel near the washing apparatus, called for one but no clean towel waa produced.

The Jew, resolved on having something clean, bought a yard of cotton cloth, (ihe newest approach lo toweling the store could afford,) and having used it to his heart's content, handed it back to the landlord to be kept cltan for 4lxr accommodation of travelers. This of course in censed his royal highntas, to the amaieaient of hi guests. I will not dismiss thia Jew merchant by simply relating this incident of wit Contrary to a number of hia be is one of thsmost upright and generous of men, and enjoy the eonri- dence and respect of the community in which he live, lie informed me that he came to lint country poor, and' that it was only by ceaseless energy and strict integrity, which won for him warm friends, that he as enabled to accumulate the fortune he posesed. He ia orih, I am in formed, fifty or sixty thousand dollars. Il has brouj-hl from Europe his siter, and educated ier; I and is new on hi way lo Germany to brrna to 1 8 I tin country, and lo hie own home, hi aged aud i poor parenla.

lie talked to me much of his pa rents, and seemed wonderfully attached to them. Tin Jew merchant is a osefol character to set before indigent young Americans. He had lo battle against far more difficult obstacles to fortune lhan they. In addition lo the odium thai' always clings lo a foreigner, he had the English language to learn to speak, read and write aud )t, in fifteen years he has accumulated a Urge lorlune, and has now the respect and confidence! of all who know him. The secret of hi sue cess has already been mentioned.

Let any poor young man of moderate abilities exercise the same invincible nerseve ranee, and maintain tlm I. i same uninterrupted integrity, aud fortune and fa vor will inevitably crown his effort.
