As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, -j.) is continued vigilance, honest, fair and upright dealing necessary to success in bus iness. Having from the outset (18 years lino), appreciated these facts, and acted up--on them, we find ourselves to-day rewarded or the countless anxieties, vexations, and iic loss of honrs of rest by seeing our long . -perished hopes realfted, of making Char--ottea 1 ' Wholesale Mart, and ours an exclusive Wholesale House. In order to be more explicit, we have the pleasure of informing the mercantile World that we have leased the superb store, ad joining our present, (heretofore occupied by Messrs. Brem, Brown & Co., as their Dry-Goods-fitorek which we will pecupy jby first of September nex forth' retail trade-only, id wilt iMfe if presea telega nt arid' com modious store for n exthijiye . WHOLESALE HOUSE i ihhfnr. to the trade a strictly "Whole 3ole Esftblishment," where they can make . tlieir'selcctions from a Stock purchased for hat trade only, thus avoiding -coming in -rntact with a Retail Stock and Retail Buy era. The advantages of such a - House are oo obvious to need further comment. To give the general reader a better con- lepti'mof the colossal dimensions of our two Houses we state that we will have up wards of thirty thousand feet of superficial . door room ; or if a lane of ten feet wide were formed of our stores, it would reach considerably over half a mile. At the same time we inform our numer ous friends that our Mr. Rintels is now igain North buying our second stock this wason. and owing to the decline in goods, will again place us in a position to success 'nlly compete withll other houses.

Mr. G S fi Appleget, the architect of the celebrated Equitable building in the city of New York, Is in Charlotte and can be seen for the next two or three days at the store of Messrs J A Young & Son. Mr. Appleget has purchased property near Raleigh, and has been the architect of most of the new buildings which now give beauty and elegance to our Capital. He haa with him many designs of private dwellings, bus iness houses, public buildings and churches which he has built elsewhere, to which he invites the attention of builders in thi3 city. No one desiring to build a home, for his family, or a house of business, should fail to avail himself of the skill of a competent architect to mature his design:.: and secure beauty and 'harmony of proportions and modern conveniences m order to add to its yaluc. Model Men Who Turn Out Badiy. Parents are in the habit of holding up be fore their rather way ward sons what they are pleased to call patterns for them to imi tate. A gentleman of this city who was long ago a grown up man, was no excep tion to this rule, and in his early days had three young men in the town where he was raiss-3, pointed out to Iiiru a:; examples wor thy of imitation. He was telling us yesterday what had be come of his models and what are their pres ent circumstances. The first one, he says, is now about forty years old : has courted no less than thirty ladies and got kicked every time ; is now bald-headed, run down at the heels and isn't worth 5 cents in the world. The second model hasn't drawn a sober breath in ten years ; is worse than worth nothing (for lie is in debt) and has moved to a certain western county where the peo ple i; re barbarous and whiskey cheap. The third model is now living in Arkan sas : he has a blind wife and nine children and is so poor that the dose- won't bark at him.
