Perhaps as he was lying awake then$$$ his life may have passed before him--his early hopeful struggles$$$ his manly successes and prosperity$$$ his downfall in his declining years$$$ and his present helpless condition--no chance of revenge against Fortune$$$ which had had the better of him--neither name nor money to bequeath--a spent-out$$$ bootless life of defeat and disappointment$$$ and the end here! Which$$$ I wonder$$$ brother reader$$$ is the better lot$$$ to die prosperous and famous$$$ or poor and disappointed? To have$$$ and to be forced to yield; or to sink out of life$$$ having played and lost the game? That must be a strange feeling$$$ when a day of our life comes and we say$$$ To-morrow$$$ success or failure wont matter much$$$ and the sun will rise$$$ and all the myriads of mankind go to their work or their pleasure as usual$$$ but I shall be out of the turmoil.
