To make oneself beloved. says an old

best way to be useful. That is one OF
the deep sayings which children think

middle-aged man hears with q certain
troubled surprise, and wonders II there
Is not something in It. after all; and
which old people discover to be true,
and think, with a sad regret OF oppor,
tunities missed, and OF years devoted,
how unproftably, to other kinds Of use.

who have any ambitions at all. do not
