There is perhaps a bit of personal pride involved, as your correspondent helped establish the dynasty.

Young Jeff, born in Cincinnati, started rambling when he was thirteen and now fetches up with a round forty years on the road.

Four hundred HOUSE C'VERY man, every woman, ev-echild has some talent, some power, some opportunity of getting good and doing- good. Each day offers some occasion for using this talent. As we use it, it gradually increases, improves, becomes native to character. As we neglect it, it dwindles, withers, and disappears. This is the stern but benign law by which we live. This makes character real and enduring, this makes progress possible, this turns men into angels and virtues into goodness. James Freeman Clarke. Breakfast Notion.
