He then goes on to say, * Taber making a long plea.
A HUMOROUS LETTER. 219 " It will be said, or may be said, hereafter, Mr. Webster was a laborious man in his profession and other pursuits. He never tasted of the bread of idleness. His profession yielded him, at some times, large amounts of income ; but he seems never to have aimed at accumulation, and perhaps was not justly sensible of the importance and duty of preser vation. Riches- were never before his eyes as a lead ing object of regard.... When young and poor, he was more earnest in struggling for eminence than in efforts for making money ; and in after life, rep utation, public regard, and usefulness in high pur suits, mainly engrossed his attention. He always said, also, that he was never destined to be rich ; that no such star presided over his birth ; that ho nev^r obtained any thing by any attempts or efforts out of the line of his profession ; that his friends, on several occasions, induced him to take an inter est in business operations ; that, as often as he did so, loss resulted, till he used to say, when spoken to on such subjects, Gentlemen, if you have any pro jects for money-making, I pray you keep me out of them ; my singular destiny mars every thing of that sort, and would be sure to crverwhelm your own better fortunes.
