To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At a very early age he had a sense of the value of time, and a strong inclination to become a self-supporting individual. He has told his friends that, in his tenth year, when school was dismissed for the summer, he took the place of errand-boy in a bookstore, and spent the vacation in hard work. This was not romantic, but it was highly honorable to a little fellow to be willing thus to work for the treasures that boys desire. At thirteen he entered the U. S. Navy, and spent fifteen months in t...he service; an experience and discipline not without good results upon his health and character. He was a favorite among his boyish friends. One of them, Hon. J. J. Stewart, of Maryland, has recently said : " He was then what you find him now. His heart was always larger than his means. There is but one thing he always despised, and that is meanness ; there is but one character he hates, and that is a liar. When he left Baltimore, a little boy, the affectionate regrets of all his companions followed him to Philadelphia; and the attachment they felt for him was more like romance than reality in this every-day world.
