Whatever was confided to him he is sure to publish abroad. The word means a hawker, or travelling chapman. He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it - He shall find evil upon evil in it. See on chap. But she that hateth righteous things is a throne of dishonour.
Every gracious disposition is increased while a man is exercised in showing mercy .
No man can show an act of disinterested mercy without benefiting his own soul , by improving his moral feeling. We seldom see a peevish, fretful, vindictive man either in good health , or good plight of body. The Hindoos sometimes ratify an engagement by one person laying his right hand on the hand of another. That is, beauty in a woman destitute of good breeding and modest carriage, is as becoming as a gold ring on the snout of a swine . The bountiful man, who gives to the poor , never turning away his face from any one in distress , the Lord blesses his property and the bread is multiplied in his hand .
