Think a little of your children, my friend, and of their children, and your remoter descendants. Suppose one of these de scendants to rise up to accuse you of neglecting their interests and honour, because you had shown a wilful and selfish regard to your own personal tranquillity, when it was in your power to secure for your family an honourable place among the German nobility--what answer would you return to such a reproach, uttered, perhaps, by one condemned to an ignoble lot by your present obstinacy To this inquiry, replied the chief magistrate, in a tone of voice and with a manner characterised by unwonted earnestness-- to this inquiry I venture, in all humility, to offer a twofold reply. First, I would say, according to the proverb, like father like son; the Textors, a hundred years hence, will probably think on this point as their ancestors have done before them. But should any one of them hereafter really bring forward such an objection, for him, your Majesty, I should not be without an answer. Whatever lot my descendants may draw out of the urn of Fate--whether they are destined to riches and honours, or to a life of poverty and obscurity--in one point my dear wife and myself have honestly done our part: we have brought up our children in the spirit and manners of our forefathers, and we still honestly seek to do so. When, then, the hour comes for us to leave them behind, we can say to them with a good conscience, Do with your children as we have done for you, and let them again do for their children as you for them; and I venture to say, that care will have been taken for future Textors for a good while to come. The Emperor was evidently touched by the earnest words of his. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
