Text Appearing Before Image:
the home-life of famous folks — where they liveand how they live, how many children they have, and evenwhat they have for breakfast and how they spend their time. This is perfectly natural; for, when we know people, welike to know them well; and when we have become inter-ested in a great mans story we are glad to becomeacquainted with the surroundings. amid which that storytold itself. So we like to know how Longfellow lived atCraigie House and where Dickens loved to walk about GadsHill. We are interested in reading about Lincolns love forhis boy Tad, and how Shakspere used to play with his littlegranddaughter, Lizzie, and how anxious Columbus was thathis son Diego should be rich and powerful. It is not always safe to gratify this desire, for sometimesthe men of whom we have made heroes, do not bear closeinspection, and the men who are great in the world oftenprove to be very small at home. But when we come closeto George Washington, we need have no fear of beingishamed of our hero.
Text Appearing After Image:
MKS. ALEXANDER HAMILTON,of Ninv York. MRS. RUFLTS KING,of Massachusetts.
