To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If he does remain on the farm, in a large ma- jority of cases, less of his time is spent behind the plow, than in a trotting sulky — more of it devoted to training fast nags than to training steers ; and farm wagons are less to his taste than spider wheels and skeletons. Speculation, mining, petroleum, patent rights — any thing that demands travel, and produces ex- citement, has a fascination for the young man that seems irresistable. To be in the great busy world, and of it ; to talk familiarl...y with business men, of thousands, and tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of capital, with which self is, in some way, con- nected, has a charm for the young man, who sel- dom remembers the vast multitudes that sink to 13 ruin while struggling for prizes that only one in a thousand can, possibly, obtain. The very term " commerce," carries with it a kind of spell, and men forget that commerce often proves, by its superfluous and extravagant impor- tations, the ruin of both individual and national prosperity.
