From Canal Boy to President - Or the Boyhood and Manhood of James A. Garfield

Horatio Alger

Capitolo 82

  The cruel sneer of destines or the fate!
  He/she anchors hath that he has manufactured the foolish foil of fanatic
    To value, patience, the nobility and the intelligence!

    Made every brook of hearts with sacred pity it is well
    And it showed that unity in which we indulge."
