Excerpt from Try Again, or the Trials and Triumphs of Harry West: A Story for Young Folks The story of Harry West is a record of youthful experience, designed to illustrate the necessity and the results of perseverance in well doing. The true success in life is the attainment of a pure and exalted character; and he who, at threescore and ten, has won nothing but wealth and a name, has failed to achieve the noblest purpose of his being. Wealth is success; a true life is a far nobler success. He who has won both has been doubly successful; but he who has become rich by neglecting the mind, the heart, and the soul has sacrificed the greater good to the less.
