Not far from where the present estab lishment of the Harpers stands, James Harper began his work. He held the lowest position in the office. All mean and servile work was put upon him. The sons of judges, alderman, lawyers and men of money were in trade and merchandise arround the printing office. These pert well-dressed, and proud striplings often en ssed the pathway of the rustic lad. His shoes were heavy, course and ungabily. His clothes made from cloth manufactured in the old homestead, were rough". in material and slovenly iu make. The young bucks delighted to ridicule James. They would shout to him across the street 44 Did your boots come from Paris?" 44 Jim, give us a card to your tailor." 44 What did your mother give a yard lor your broadcloth?" Sometimes the rude fellows came near and under pre tense of the fineness of the cloth, would grab the flesh. Insulting and taunting as all this was, he bore it for a while with meekness. This was construed into cowardice. ' JAMES' FIEST CARD. The vounsr printer saw that he must end this treatment, and could only do it bv lakine a firm, manly stand. He had no idea 'of wealth or position. It was his purpose to do right to so con duct himselt that his mother wouia not be ashamed of him. All the success and position that could attend fidelity to duty, he meant to secure ; out ne re solved not to be . imposed upon. One day while doing some menial work, he was assaulted by one of his tormentors. He deliberately set down the pail that i j u: - ne was carying, lurneuou ui assaiinub, booted him severely, and then said : "Take that ; that's my card; take good care of it. When I am out ol my time, and set up for myself, and you need employment, as you will, comedo me, and bring that card, and I will give you work." Strange to say, forty-one years after, that same person came to James Harper's establishment and asked em ployment, claiming it on the groud that the " card" he had given him forty-one years before, he had kept to that day. ORIGIN OF THE HOUSE. When James was free, haying served out his time, his master said to him, "You have been faithful, and shall al ways have a gKd place in my office." The master was not a little surprised to hear the young man announce his in tention of setting up for himself. Al ready he said he could have the print ing of a book ii be could, get a certifi cate that he was worthy of it. If his master would give him the certificate he could get the job. This was readily fiven, and the work begun. In 1817 ames and John Harper opened a small book and job printing pffice in Dover street. ' ifivert lmyckinck, tne leading publisher of that day, was the first to employ the Harpers. The first book published by the firm was Seneca's Mor al, 2000 copies of which were deliverd on the 5 th day of August 1817. The second job was of - more- consequence. The Book to be printed was the Epis copal Prayer Book It was to be stereotyped.- That part of the craft in those days "was iri a crude state, and the work rudely done. They had contracted to do the work for fifty ' cents a token. lhey found that they would have to pay the full sum to have it stereotyped, and no profit would be left to them selves- They resolved to stereotype the work. It was difficult and slow ; but it was done, and gave great satis faction. It was pronounced the best piece of stereotyping ever seen in New York. The .character of the work com lQg Irom this firm, its industry, probity, P'oinptness, and enterprise placed it at once at the head of the business in New lork. In 8ix years the ; establishment became the largest in the city. To the figmal firm, in 1823. the name of ioo,We8y Harper was added. , In, Tu 1 xxitrper joineu. ine iirm. inese four mnU t rr of Ff; a ue Sreati establishment 0nonedono$ pombuie.' as do the ! Harpers, all the departments of labor needful for the production of a perfect book. European books are mainly sold in sheet. The binding is carried on as a distinct business. It has no connec tion with printing. The Harpers em brace printing, electrotyping, stereo typing and binding. A roll of manu script is taken from the author, types from the foundry, a side of leather Irom the currier, and paper from the manu facturer. These leave the establishment a complete book, printed and illustrated in the highest style of art. Evening Gazette. Remaekable Phenomenon Water Spout and Whirlwind Peoperty destroyed. Yesterday, about one o' clock, the people of our neighboring town of New Castle, Delaware, were thrown into serious alarm by the ad vent of a most extraordinary visitor, which came very suddenly from the clouds. It was first observed, as an in telligent eyewitness informs us, oppo site the town, on tbc New Jersey side of the river. From the surface of the water there rose an enermous cone of cloud from forty to sixty feet in dia meter at the base, very dense, very dark. From an overhanging surcharg ed thunder cloud in the sky there de pended a similar cone, and the apexes of the two met. The sky at the time was not clear, the sun was obscured, but there was no rain falling nor any general shower. The water in the two cones was violently in motion, whirl ing round and round with the greatest rapidity, and making a loud noise. Tt appeared to be canght up from the river in great volume, and portions which fell "back in spray shone and sparkled brightly, making the whole spectacle most beautiful, though terrifying to the beholder. The spout moved rapidly across the river, taking perhaps some ten or fifteen minutes to reach this side. It entered the town of New Castle on the upper side, and struck first a frame dwelling on the river bank, occupied by a color ed family. The force of the shock was tremendous, yet the column of water did not envelope the house, but rather brushed against it. The weather board ing was torn off, every window bursted, and the trame studding ol the building wrenched out of place. The fence around was turn loose and carried away.- Atter this exploit it passed on across the lots toward the shop of Mr. John Chiirnside, tearing up fences aud every thing that came in its way ; fortunately for Mr. Churnside, it passed to the north of his shop, thereby escaping a very heavy loss of property and perhaps life ; the edge of the maelstrome however reached some wagons, drills, and mow ing machines standing at the edge of the shop. A two-horse express wagon was picked up and carried several rods, and after being tossed about in every conceivable manner, was thrown out of the roaring vortex and broken almost to atoms. Another dearbron was drawn in and torn to peices. A large heavy grain drill was gathered up and set down on the opposite side of the road. Near here, a little child was picked up and carried some distance perhaps a hundred feet over the fence into a neighboring yard, where it was set down unin jured. As it crossed the road immense clouds of dost and other matter were caught up and whirled around with the water. The hurricane or whatever it might now be called proceeded on its way up the meadow of Mr. Janvier, taking up everything that came in the way of its progress ; horses and cattle making good time to get out or its way. The storm now appeard to be on the de crease. J.he cylindric tunnel had al most disappeared, and yet while we stood and watched its progress up to the meadow, a couple of trees which had withstood the tempest of ages were torn up by the roots and thrown aside.
