Excerpt from Portraits of Eminent Americans Now Living; Including President Pierce and His Cabinet: With Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Their Lives and Actions
A like principle pervades, necessarily, all the business occupations of life. The organization of man, of society, and of the universe, are alike favorable to honesty and virtuous conduct. Duties faithfully discharged lead to wealth and honor; duties selfishly performed to poverty and dis grace. There is not a name in this work whose life is not illustrative Of these truths.
