Utopia. Others, satisfied with that which has come to them, have remained in one place, to build a factory; till a farm, raise a family, and be a stationary unit in world progression. These men of whom I write were often restless, roving blades. They continually looked into the beyond; if they did not do so, they were not satisfied with the quiet life, but had to be in the maelstrom of action. The perpetual boy was in them. For this reason I write of their active lives for young men, for is it not young men for action, old men for counsel? To the young man the philosopher does not appeal. Franklin is superseded by Light Horse Harry Lee. The red blood of youth sees heroes m the individuals of dash and courage; while, to him, the man of the diplomatic circle, the scientific dreamer, the scholar and poet, have little place in the affections of one in whose veins is the hot impulse to do, and not to meditate.
