Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shadows on the Wall; Or Glimpses of the Past: A Retrospect of the Past Fifty Years The writer of these recollections is now treading the barren path of life winding its way beyond the limits allowed to man by the Holy Book - threescore and ten being the span of years allotted us. Though born in the city of New York, still he has always considered Baltimore his home, for within her limits he commenced his career of life. Many changes have taken place since he first began his professional career, with a heart filled with hope and a laudable ambition to make his mark. Many of the friends of his youth have sought the dreamless slumber of the tomb; many bend under the weight of years, and, as they smooth their white locks, look calmly forward to the settling up of all earthly accounts. They are passing away, for decay is stamped upon the features of the most beautiful of other days, and, one by one, they leave us to make room for other travellers on the same highway. In a few short years those who were the children of our maturity, and made us rejoice in their innocent merriment, have grown up and become themselves mature. The laughing schoolgirl has become a staid matron, and desires no greater happiness than that which lights the domestic hearth.
