'' He is an American who, leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds. He becomes an American by being received in the broad lap of our great alma mater. Here individuals of all races are melted into a new race of men, whose labors and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world. Americans are the Western pilgrims, who are carrying along with them that great mass of arts, sciences, vigor, and industry which began long since in the East; they will finish the great circle."

CHAPTER XXXV "Opportunity never stops at the door, knocks and passes onOpportunity eats with you, works beside you and at night sleeps on the door-mat. Blame no one but yourself if you ignore her." A GREAT deal has been written about opportunity. You have heard that opportunity knocks once at every man's door and all that sort of thing. Opportunity is a large family of big fellows and little fellows and some one of them is frequently found knocking at some one's door. Your biggest opportunity may have knocked and passed on when you were away from home or sound asleep or too well satisfied for the moment with your condition. The same opportunity which might be big to one man is little to another man but it is opportunity none the less. The present opportunity which we have in mind is the wonderful chance at this particular time for the great majority of the people to save money. On every hand are chances to make money and on almost every purchase there is opportunity for saving money. The wise man will keep his eyes wide open and his mind alert for the big chance and for every little chance.
