NOBLE Conductive heard incidentally yes
terday of an instance OF true nobility and integrity
Of character, which deserves to be mentioned, not
merely as a remarkable fact, but as an example
for others to follow. merchant of this city some
years ago made very heavy failure, from which
It was supposed it would be impossible that he
could ever recover. The bankrupt law relieved
him from all liability, but it could not relieve his
conscience of the moral responsibility to pay every
cent he owed. In will, made shortly after his
failure, he gave directions that, should his estate
ever prove valuable enough, a settlement should
be made with his creditors. He lived, however,
and prospered in business and within very short
time, has paid debts to the amount of sixty thous-
and dollars, due in this city and New York-debts
that had been long given up as worthless, and
which he was under olegal liability to pay With
a lofty sense of honor rarely met with he would
not accept the legal discharge, but has devoted
the earnings Of the last few years, strictly and
exclusively to paying all, so that ne can say be-
fore he dies
al owe no man a dollar"
Such instances of noble conduct redeem the
character of the merchant, as q class, from much
of the reproach which is often thrown upon it.
May the example thus set find many followers.
