To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, you find a wife some day, very much to your mind; but you cannot begin life in a couple of rooms, with a hempen carpet and cane chairs, because society might turn its back on you, and society is now your god. But you find new powers to meet the new demand, and begin business for yourself, or are promoted again, and still might do well if you would keep close to the solid and sure things you understand ; but the fatal lesson young men have learned, of being able, as they imagine, to co...mmand success, steals in, and lures you after vain shadows.
144 TALKS TO YOUNG MEN We must be patrons of the arts, perhaps, and buy pictures with the money we shall need some day to tide us over a panic; and are not content with the modest house we can pay for as we can pay for a loaf of bread, but must rent a mansion. Then the oil men come along, or the silver-mine men, and show us what they call "a good thing,*' and say they will "let us in," and they do.
So we drift into speculations we understand no more than the man in the moon, or think we can clutch ten thousand dollars in a month from those wise and wary men on Wall Street, who have given a lifetime to watching the rise and fall of stocks, — take it all in, as we imagine, at a glance ; and this is the story of the wreck and ruin of thousands of men of a fine promise, who, twenty years ago, were on the way to a fair fortune.
