Mexico has no more sincere well-Wisher than William O. Stoddard.
"Ahead of the Army"
W. O. Stoddard
He was, indeed, as are a great many others in this world, an excellent man to his own heart,-kind, charitable, and affectionate; a well-Wisher to his kind, and hopeful of almost every one; but, all this while, his virtues, like a miser's gold, had no circulation; they remained locked up within him for his own use alone, and there he sat, counting them over and gazing at them, speculating upon all that this affluence could do, and-never doing it!
"The Martins Of Cro' Martin, Vol. II (of II)"
Charles James Lever
Then it behooves every well-Wisher of his country, on such mournful occasions, to give emphasis and intensity to the nation's woe.
