Here, II we may believe this writer. Is
the ancestry of the Egotist: 1.-The Ser
pent, who was the father Of fiction, was
also the first Egotist. He was not con-
tent to be a nobody, and live private life
among the ferns and the skunk.cabbage.
No obscurity for him, no indeed! He
must climb tree, and offer suggestions
to the first passer by. If there had been
a daily press in Eden. the Serpent would
have had all the free advertising. He was
a reformer, and scoffed at authority and
the existing order of things. He didnt
believe in aristocracy, or the rule of the
strongest, or the logic of events, or any
thing but his own idea. He was stuck on
himself: he must have influence and noto-
riety at all costs; and he got them. A lit
tie tarnished Is that fame, perhaps: yet II
stands the test of time, while many an
unblemished name goes down to virtuous
and dusty oblivion. But the Egotist must

than a woodchuck in a hill of beans"
