...talks about his true self you are interested. Be sure of this, there is not one of us living to-day so simple and monotonous a life, that, if we be true and natural, our lives faithfully written, would not be worthy of men's eyes and hold men's hearts. Not one of us, therefore, who, if he be true and pure and natural, may not, though his life never should be written, be interesting and stimulating to his fellow men in some small circle as they touch his life."

There is no profession, perhaps, which offers such sure compensation for honest work as this. The means of livelihood which are more ordinarily denominated "professions," are, say what we may about "room at the top," over-crowded. We cannot all be Websters; nor is there a chance that every doctor will rival the fame of a Marian Simms. Many...
