ROBERT T. ALBRITTON. The noblest aspiration of the human lieart is, or ought to be, thedesire to be and to do right, and to deserve the encomiums of our fel-lowmen. Every one who Hves up to this high ideal, according to hisbest ability, has triumphed over the lesser ills of life, which, greatminds ignore. If from such a man the careless world should with-hold the praise he seeks, and to which per sc he is entitled, it is a wrong,whose ])erpetration may never be offset by any amount of good inanother direction. If, on the contrary, he should receive the meed ofpraise which his upright and manly course merits, his happiness, hispride, and his ambition being assured, his emulation to rise to a stillnobler plane of well-doing is forever awake. Such a man, born to theluck of appreciation among his fellowmen, is the gentleman whose biog-raphy engrosses my mind and pen to-day—Robert T. Albri
