After quoting Nj Greeley's exposition Of the char
acter Of the genuine reformer the author proceeds
to the inquiry how far he embodies in his own ex-
ample the rare and elevated traits which give to GER
tain men the rank Of lights of their age. On this
| point Mr.. Reavis observes:
That he combines in the largest degree those elements
OF character and mentality, which make up the true re

The volume closes with an explanation Of the
lesson of Horace Greeleys life Mr. Reavs describes
tho record as one Of honorable industry and effort,
| of high integrity, and of welleaTned distinction
presenting an example Of private worth and public
success which cannot fail to exert powerful influ-
ence on millions Of the young and aspiring as they

future centuries Of struggle and toll Almost every
interest in human society has received from him
helping hand. He has left the impress of his mind
and heart upon all of them. He is the friend of all
! and has aided all. The young man and the young
| woman whether In high life or low the father and
the mother the artisan and the aborer the plowman
and the sailor the teacher and the preacher have
ever found in him helper and friend. His mark
is upon every branch Of industry and enterprise,
whether upon the land or sea. Blr Reavs appeals to
the young men of America to receive bis account Of
'the thoughts and deeds Of great and true man."

work. accordingly, is inspired by the sympathy Of
personal experience as well as by the admiring glow
