1852. The lessons taught in this work are such as cannot be learned too early, not dwelt on too long or too often, but those who are engaged in the active and all-absorbing duties of life. In the struggle for natural riches, the wealth that meets the eye and charms the imagination, how many forget that true riches can only be laid up in the heart; and that, without these true riches, which have no wings, gold, the god of this world, cannot bestow a single blessing!

Autorenporträt
Timothy Shay Arthur, commonly known as T.S. Arthur, was a prominent American writer in the 19th century, best remembered for his influential works that addressed social issues of the time. Born on June 6, 1809, in Newburgh, New York, Arthur gained widespread recognition for his temperance novel Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There, which played a significant role in shaping public opinion against alcohol consumption. The novel vividly illustrated the destructive effects of alcohol, helping to advance the temperance movement in the United States. Arthur's writing often explored themes of morality, social reform, and the challenges facing individuals in their personal lives, particularly in relation to family and society. Throughout his career, Arthur wrote numerous novels, short stories, and articles that addressed issues such as domestic life, personal virtue, and the importance of moral responsibility. He passed away on March 6, 1885, at the age of 75 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, leaving behind a legacy of socially conscious literature that continues to be remembered for its impact on American culture and reform movements.
