His mother was a WOruan of rare zifts. The morning James left his •hoine, he began the great battle of life fcr himself, his mother led tbe family devotions. With a heart full of mater- nal love she commended her child to the Savior. She embraced him fervent- ly, and bade him never forget his home, the altar of his God, or that be had "good alood in him." He was the "devil" in the printing office not fax from where the massive helm of the Harpers now stands. All. the mean and servile work • .was put upon him. At that time Framelin-Square was a (-Tented' abode. The old Knickerbock- er, who were in trade, had their stores in around that place. Sons of judges, aldermen, and men of money - crossed -the path of the young apprentice. His clothes, made in the old homested, were coarse in material, and unfashion- able in cut. The young bucks made snort of James. They shouted to him •aCross the street,---" DidyQUIr boots ceree from Paris I" " Give us a card to your tailor?" "Jim, what did your Blether give a yard for kour broad- cloth ?" Sometimes the rude fellows Came. near, and under the pretence of feeling the fineness of the cloth,. would grasp the flesh. James bore this insult and taunting with meakness, which was construed into cowardice. He saw that he must take his stand, and end this _imposition. He had ro idea ot wealth' or position, but ..be meant to do right, and so conduct himself that his. mother would not be ashamed of bim. He meant to earn all the succese aud position that fidelity to duty could se- cure. • But he resolved not to be im- posed 1.11)011. One day as he was doing some menial work, he was set upon by on of his tormentors, who asked him for his card. He turned on his assail- ant, having deliberately set, down a bring the caaxl, " and 1 will give you work." Forty-one years after, when Mr. Harper's establishment was known throughout tho land, after he had borne the highest municipal honors of the city, and had become one of our wealthiest men, the person who had received the card came to Mr: James Harper's esta- blishment, asked employment, claiming it upon. the ground. that lie had kept the card he had given him fortyrione years before. ORIGIN OF THE HOUSE OF HARPERS. With great fidelity James served out his time. His master was pleased with him. In a patronizing way, he told him when he was free he should" never want for employment. James rather surprized his old master, by in forming him that he inten.ded to set up for himself ; that be had already engag- ed to do a job, and that all he wanted was a certificate .from his master that he was worthy to be trusted with a, book. In a small room in DoverStreet, ,James and his brother John began their work as printers. The first job was two thousand volumes of Seneca's Mor at. This job wt s given to them by Evert Dayckang, the leadt*g publisher of that day. The second book laid the 1 writers on the continent beg 'the Harp - foundation of the permanent sticcessof ers to introduce theni to the American the house. The Harpers had -agreed to stereotype an addition of the Prayer Book for the Episcopal Society of New York. Stereotyping was in a crude state, and the work was roughly done. When the Harpers took the contract, they intended to have it done at some one of the establishmen% in the city. They found that it would , cost them morethan they Were to receive. They resolved to learn the art, and do the Avork themselves. It was a slow and difficult labor. But it was accomplish- ed. It was pronounced the. best piece of stereotyping ever seen in Nev York. It put the firm at the head of the busi- ness. It was found to be industrious, hon.orables and reliable. In six years years it became _the great printing house in New -Vella In 1823, Joseph Wes- ley Harper entered the firm: In; 1 82 6, Fletcher Harper was added. These names constitute the house of Harper Brothers to this day. Besides personal attention to bUsiness, the brothers exbr- cised grtaat economy in there personal and domestic expenses. John com- menced house -keeping in the lower story of a small, genteel house, paying the annual rent of one hundred and eighty dollars. One thousand dollars was what it cost. the brothers each to live for the first ten years of their busi- ness life.. It is the custom when they start a rew business enterprise, such as the Weekly or the Bazar, to set apart a capital of fifty or one hundred thous- and dollars, as the case may be, to be expended in placing the new enterprise- = a paying foundation. • t; .pail he was carrying, boo ec1 him seve- rely, and said " that's my card : take care of it. When I am out of my time, and Set up for myself, and you need employment, as you will, cortie to me, enter the house seldom :leave it. Boys have becoral men, and they come and go as regular as the sun. The middle-aged have become gray -headed. The sons of men who have grown old in. the service and have died, step in to take their fath- er's place. One old man, who has lived in the vaults for half a century, and has arge of the plates, and will live no- where else, who talks constantly about the " good Mr. Harpers," as he, calls his old masters; is still hale, hearty and happy as when a boy he did the bidd- ing of James and John. THE cHARACTER OF THE HOUSE. The uniform prosperity and success of the house of Harpers for half a cen- tury shows conclusively that integrity and honesty are worth something in trade. The Harpers have kept alreast of the tines and held the lead from 1826 to this lour. Their mercantile 'repute is without a stain and their hon- or untarnished. Their imprint on a beok fixes the reputation, and often gnarantees the fortune of the author. Hardly an American book comes out that is not offered first' to this house. Eminent authors in- Europe send for theis: terms. The_ most celebrated EsTABLISHMENT ON FRANKLIN SQUARE. The house is an immense iron build- ing, painted in immitation of white mar- ble. It Covers half an acre of ground. It is fire -proof, seven storeys high, and is one ofethe most complete,, airy, and pleasant edifices in the city. It has two frontages, one on Franklin Square, and one ou Cliff Street. Its apartments are united by iron bridges thrown across the court.. The stairways are circular and are outside the building.,. There are no openings in the floor for fire to comniunicate frOD) cite story to another. The looms are elegant, and well. vente- bated. Modern improvements for com- fort, health and cleanliness abound. .Expensive and curious machinery Ell thp chambers. The folding, machines, the presses, the marbling department, the mysteries of electrotyping, the mar- vellous inventions by whichscience be- comes the handmaid of. toil, and -wipes the sweat curse from the brow of labor, are among the curiosities shown. EMPLOYEES. The movements of the nicely adjust- ed machinery are scarcely more quiet and elastic than are the movements of the six haindred persons eMployed in this house. Pen, brain, the pencil of thc designer, the chisel of the engraver, the skill of the artist, the neatness and taste of Women, intelligent mechanism, find here employment. The liberal, genial, honorable spiritof the proprietors prompts them to pay the best wages, and secure the best talent. Those who public. Two thousand works, three thousaricl volumes, twalve thousand of which are original, are the issue of one season. The weekly and monthly pic- torials are marvels of success, of ele- gant typography, graphic illustration. The house has driven out the vile yel- low covered books'once so common he genteel and even Christian homes, by affording attractive, elegant, and cheep stirring works of fiction. The Circula- tion of half a raillion of the Weekly and Monthly shows at once the demand for light literature, and how readily the public will welcome the pure when it is offered. Two hundred and ten thousand Harpers' Weekly have been sold- in One week. Thousands of per- sons are dependent on -this firm for their daily, bread- Husbands and par- ents, brothers and sisters, book-beliers and agents, artists a -ad authors, outside of the establishment, in all parts of the land, fino employment at their hands. At an.earley day the Harpers opened a genteel and healthy field of labor for the women. Ladies of taste and tal- ent, ntunbered by hundreds, find pro- tection and good wages under this lion - °fable roof. THE COUNTING R003I. WHOLE NO. 85„ a- eec ment to generations to conic. It is a genial spot in which to pass a half home With such company genial conversation is blended with tbe politeness and the, blandeness of the old school. If thy brothers, Cheeryblp have a house rn New York, it is located in Frankl.n Square. Stdck and.Oil Preachers. THE NEW YORK PULPIT. As a wliole, theministry of New York is able and.greatly respected. fashionable New York Church calf com- mand almost any 'talent in thecountry. Besides this, there is almost every va- riety of talent in the New York pulpit —the radical, who makes his pulpit a political forum, and the well-to-do con- servative who meddles with. neither politics not religion. Thetradeis, the man sharp at bargains, men found on 'change, with the stock and oil preach- ers abound. Some are in political life, others are connected with the daily' press. Some are in literary pursuits ; some write books, others review their. An attempt was made some time since to keen the Sabbath more loosely, and a New York clergynaan was found wil- ling to lead the attempt. Ministers of New York have been found willing to throw their silk gowns over the players, and have preached sermons to show the connection between religion and -the . stage. Nearly every faith known to the civilized world has a local habita- tion in New York, arid a prieskto min- ister at its -altar. In the centre of the main floor, rail- ed in by an iron fence, is a space fifteen by forty feet, which is the sanctum of the brothers. Within the enclosure are sofas, desks, and easy -chairs for per- sons having business with the hou.se. Hcre may be seen from day to day the original founders of the firm, James and John, and Joseph, the youngest ki o whom is over sixty, but looking les than forty, James, the founder of th4 house, -would be a marked man any': where—tall, well-proportioned, with dark hair, heavy eye -brows, a pleasant expression, a, genial Sniile and a kind wOrd for all. A devout Methodist, he is a liberal supporter of all good things. The wealth be has so nobly, earned flows as constant as the river. When New York was so badly governed that neither property not life was (safe, and the people arose in their might to ef- fect a change, Mr. Harper was chosen their standard-bearer, and was elected, triumphantly, mayor of the city. John is thick -set and stocky, but not as tail as his brother. Joseph is thin, spar, and looks very little like the elder member of the firm. In the counting- house during the day may be met the most distinguished authors, writers;and artists of the land ; men of letters, for- eign and native, making it the "Liter- ary Change" of New York. The whole air is redolent -with the talent, litera ture, and taste. Surronnding the or- iginal members of the firm are the sons, on whom already the burden of the es- tablishment rest. They inherit the urbanity, probity, and thrift that has made the name they bear so famous and so honoured. It is no common boon to found such a house, to flnd it -green and vigorous at the close of a half Century, to have a leisure and wealth for repose or travel, and to be surrounded by children able and willing to bear down the honor and business cf the establish- imINI9TER1AL SPECULAToRS. Among the moSt excited in stock markets are men who 'profess to be cler- gymen.- Oneof this class realized a snug little fortune of eighty thousand dollars 111 his speculations. He did not wantto be known in the matter. Daily he laid his funds onhis trother's desk. If anything was "realized," it was taken quietly away. The broker, tired of doing -business on the sly, ad- vised the customer, if the thing was dis- tasteful to him, or if he'was ainrned openly to be in business, he had better retire _from Wall street, aen of this class often have a nominal change.

They can be seen daily upon the curb- stone in Wall Street, •speerds ting in stocks, 'horses, houses and oil; indeed, anything that turnsup A SP WIXENIN POINT. One man in New York especially il- lustrates the gentlemen of the. cloth who' are familiar with stocks. His name appears in the Sunday notices as the minister of and up -town church* Down to.-sn he is krlown as -a specula- tor. His place of -worship is a little house !built rn his yard.

Would the General give him a contract? 01.e was placed in his band for the purchase of a number (Concluded On lama, Inge,d)
