People take for gospel all I say, and go away continually with false impressions. Now, if I know myself, I should say that I have no character at all. I am so changeable, being everything by turns and nothing long, — I am such a strange mélange of good and evil, that it would be difficult to describe me. There are but two sentiments to which I am constant, — a strong love of liberty, and a detestation of cant, and neither is calculated to gain me friends.
