He was good as well as great. His goodness won the love of all who knew him intimately. His greatness gained the homage of the world. He became, in a word, one of the brightest stars in Columbia's diadem of light. His identity will be recognized by those who were familiar with his early personal history; but for obvious reasons his real name must be veiled under a fictitious one here. His life is a guiding-star to the youth of every land, to show them that there is no depth of human misery from which they may not, by virtue, energy, and perseverance, rise to earthly honors as well as to eternal glory.
