Ambition
A person never thinks so meanly of ambition as when walking through a grave-yard.—To see men who have filled the world with their glory for half a century or more, reduced to a six foot mudhole, gives pride a shock which requires a long stay in a city to counteract.—The gentlemen who are now “spoken of for the Presidency,” will in less than a century, have their bones carted away to make room for a street sewer. Queer creature that man—well, he is.
