Robert underwood arrived m this city many years ago He was a foreigner, and a single man; a voluntary emigrant from lha land, of lus lathers the abiding place I of tyranny, oppression and slavery. When I lie lirst phicett nia leet on tne.se snores ne was totally penniless, and without friends or influence. Hut, the great utnre was before, and free institutions were around ; him. lie w;is houesl, and possessed the great falismarj energy he was confident of a happy and prosperous career. The first employment he procured here, and thai after considerable solicitation, was a 1 sn nation as a day laborer to cut ice from some' of the docks along the Delaware 7 . i v u i front Of the City, in which the Atlantic packets were moored. (At that period we j i I ...... lumt. rt L'0.nnnrn tho JJflil lllk filler JVO UWMIW iv ffi,f mv j channel ol tne river in uie winter season, i as we have now in tins ago ol progress !

James Irvine, a gentlemen extensively engaged in tho Tanning of Leather iu the upper, wr northern portion tu" the city; .a gentleman of wealth: and laudable li'ocrah ty, was the person from whom Robert Uiv derwood got his secoud employruent. ' He engaged him to do the general work about bis establishment Hi; was faithful.

AW' occupying mis station ior a consiacraoie time he entered into married life, and very bhor.ly alter this period, he ' embarked into business, as apartnef, with Mr. Irvine. Thus we see the result of honest appli cation to one's duties thus we see tfie well defined path to success in any voca i- . . r . - : 1 f I. tion thus we see the bngnt beacon lignts which guide the adventurer on to the accu mulation of gold, to that end, which seems to occupy the first and last thoughts, and to be the chief aim of man. Itobert Un derwood's . career ef prosperity had com menced, the bright sun of success appear ed in his horizon, and threw its rays on the vista of the great future. He did not grow bloated because of the realization of the idea peculiar to his youth. No, when fortune smiled on him once, he became the more earnest in his adoration of the filmy eyed and inconstant goddess How varied, how checkered are the ca reere of men? From the time they first draw the breath of hfc, dowD, down until the cold blasts of death sweep across their wrinkled brows, some men fad.

' . . .. through the wide world, without thea93Mt anc'O of early education, Underwood 'de termined upon sendiug hU two children to the best institutions in the country, iq order that they might receive that high polish, without which even natural genius appears to grtat disadvantage. This he coultl well afford, to do, inasmuch as he had been in buaineia several years with c. Irvine, and h'ul also been pretty depply concerned in stock, aofculutioiu, in either of which he rcaliztd; what wc would term a fortune. It is unnecessary for ui to name tha pla ce to which the brotuer and sisUtfjKftre Smit to go over the liulo romances which &re always. inseparabUj from the halcyon.

He at once aettlsd himself down iokI com menced the study of law, and appeared to avoid all kinds of company.' Though urg ed and solicited by his parents and sister to mingle occasionally in society, he al ways declined to do so, because he prefer red remaining in the roughly furnished of fice of hrs pr"ceptor, and there, through the medium of antique books, to cornmanc with the classic heroes. He enjoyed him aelf, he said, whilst thus engaged a hun dred fold more than he would if he were to go into company and listen to the vre Udk of fashionable men and women. The elder Mr. Underwood received a Preal,deal of company at his splendid maj- g,on ' Among his guests were two gentle- , t men about whom.we shall write. The oce 1 was Charles Kvais, a wpftltliy financier, dt, connexions in business were spread over England, Frane, Spain, Portugal, and indeed we mi?ht say over the- whole European world. In business affairs he was truly a cosmopolite. He was taH athletic iifan of about thirty years of age, handsome and rather enrafiinsr irf his address. 1 he other was Louie Adam, a poor young fellow of twenty years lie was talfand quite slender, and was remark able for his beauty, "his gentlemanly Bear ing, ami the ripenen oT hjs intellect. He was the schoolmate fufcil intimate friend of Eugene, and lad een 'introduced to his father's house by him. , la some way or etner, we are unable to - explain how, a ritalry grew up belyeen these two gentlemen. The object of their regard was, as a matter of course, Miss Mary. To the observer it woijd be diffi cult to ascertain in which of these two gentlemen the fair creator of soiauchvrt-y feeling look the greater interest. Eraoa carried hie gold in a handsome silken purse: and that purse was the han diwork of Mary. . Adam wore a very'fine guard chain boil his neck, which was also-the reeukjCf rv's labors (here was sotmtbiiVejaUSLil - j to the end of this little guard efowllfiftz!)- which Louts appeared to UjaeqT7n4 which he hid, tery cautioualjr,' frwtt the , public gaze.
