Excerpt from A Picture of Life, or the Rainbow Club: In Three Phases: 1st, Youth's Gay Merriment; 2nd, Manhood's Serious Business; 3rd, Life's Crowning GloryHere are multitudes of persons who allow the flames of appetite and passion' to be needlessly fanned, thus consuming in early manhood much of that vitality which should not only glow at noon, but like the Gulf Stream of the tropics, cheer the Arctic even ing Of age._ To such we lift a hand of warning. Of Milton Rainbow, the leading character of our story, we can truly say, that in his younger days his mental food consisted of three dishes - merriment, excitement, poetry. He was a light-hearted, quick-witted, ever welcome companion.There lay in him a vein of thought, bright as a diamond, and exquisitely fresh and pleasing; but his thoughts, brilliant as they were, resembled the moon beams dancing on the river. The deep waters below were yet silent and unknown.His folly and reformation make our story, which we trust will prove both diverting and instructive.The members of the Rainbow Club were such people as we meet in every day life, and smile as we meet.The most enjoyable performers at a show, are not always those who stiffen the necks of the spectators by dizzy manoeuvers in the region of high art.But this one thing we desire: from the lofty corri dors of this Centennial - 1876 - to send down through all the ages to come, this beseeching cry, Oh ye gid dy-minded men and women, - youths and maidens, what treasure do' ye hope to take to the Centennial of the Ages - Time's grand Review - The Judgment Day, where the Judge is the King Eternal, and the least prize secures an immortality of honor and bliss 2.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
