The additional element, which ia never absent when marked am) unusual success is attained, is t lie possession, by those who conduct the enterprise, o 1 a reniArkable deg-ee of perseverance and pertinac ity which! they make use of in pushing ttie business under. theircharg. We are greater believers in the efficacy of iudouiitable perseverance tbau in the jower of so-called genius: and much of what is. attr buted to tha mysterious influence, is nierely the n itural result; of years of patieut and un interrupted foil.
