The Rolling Stone

Whatever may be our estimate of the man we call a rolling stone, it is well to recognize that he is incorrigible. No consideration of the temporal prosperity that perseverance in things unpleasant may bring has the slightest power to influence him. Reprove his restlessness, shut him . up with a ledger In your office, you will not make him content. He has no fear of being set adrift In the world without resources, for of his chief resource —his readiness to' seek adventures brave and new—no man can ever deprive him. He cannot be fitted to our ordinary measures. His delight Is set upon a different kind of life. —Exchange.
