young man who was born in afflueuce,
and was educated at the first institutions
of the country, he was petted and reared
more in a feminine than in a masculine
manner. At last his father died and left
him small fortune; but he never did
anything and hardly had sense enough to
take care of his money. He was born
and raised with silver spoon in his
mouth. We see another young man,
born under all the circumstances associ-
ated with poverty. Grow up without
any education, and hardly knowing
whether or not he had any parents. Yet
this young man grown up on the streets,
becomes not only familiar with life, but
habituated to its necessities, there is none
of the dilly-dally about him. If he sue
ceeds in steering clear of life's shoals |
and breakers, he becomes among the first |
men of the land, and writes his name
: upon the scrool of fame. He was born
