EPILOGUE
I had finished this book with the exclamation,
“What humbug! What wretched humbug life
is!” But after some reflection I found the
sentiment unworthy, and struck it out. My mind
swayed irresolute, and at last I took refuge in
the Bible, to find the explanation I needed.
And thus the Holy Book, more inspired with
prophetic qualities than any other, answered
me: “And I will set my face against that man,
and will make him a sign and a proverb, and
I will cut him off from the midst of my people,
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. And if
that prophet be deceived, I the Lord have
deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my
hand upon him, and will destroy him from the
midst of my people Israel.”—Ezek. xiv., 8, 9.
Such then is my life; a sign, an example to
serve for the betterment of others; a proverb
to set forth the nothingness of fame and of
celebrity; a proverb to show the younger generation
how they should not live; yes! I am a proverb,
