When I was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west

bank of Mississippi River. That was, to be a steamboat man. We had temporary ambitions of other sorts, but they

were only temporary.

My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men

and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing；butthe desire

to be a steamboat man kept intruding, nevertheless. One of our boys in town, who went away and was not heard

of for-a long time, turned up as apprentice engineer on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my

Sunday—school teachings. That boy was notoriously worldly, and I was just the opposite. There was nothing

generous about this fellow in his greatness. He would always manage to have a rusty nail to scrub while his boat

stopped at our town, and he would sit on the inside guard and scrub it, where we could all see him. And wherever

his boat was laid up he would come home and show off in the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that

nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboat man; and he used all sorts of steamboat technical terms

in his talk, as if he were so used to them that he forgot common people could not understand them.

This creature's career could produce but one result, and it was speedily followed. Boy after boy managed to

get on the river. Despite many choices, pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivial

wages, had a princely salary—from 150—250 dollars a month, and no board payment.But our parents would not

let us and our worry was the next year would find us hunting for jobs with low pay again. So by and by I ran away. I

said I never would come home again till I was a pilot and could come in glory.
