Excerpt from Random Shots and Southern Breezes, Containing Critical Remarks on the Southern States and Southern Institutions, Vol. 2 of 2: With Semi-Serious Observations on Men and Manners
What will he be in another moment a prince a slave How will he leave the gaming-table? A naked wretch or a millionaire, bending under the weight of his gold -he is indifferent. To-morrow he will come again, to lose a fortune or to double it.
One thing to him is impossible, and that is repose. He is as the sea-bird, delighting in the tumult of the hurricane and the roar of the boiling billows.
