Character of an Honest Man.

I'LL A TRULY HONEST, virtuous and up
* right man is the noblest work of God"
~ An ornament to society, an honor to his
II race, the glory of humanity, and the
W blossom Of century. He is natures
m nobleman, a pillar of truth, the light of
VI his age, the joy of the angels, and the be-
Is loved of God.
m He. loves virtue for its own sake, and
W walks in the ways of wisdom and right
M eousness with steady and unfateripg step,
I'm turning neither to the right hand nor the
" left. No threats can terrify him, no fat
TX terry can seduce him, no wealth can bribe
II him.
* He is a true friend, an honorable oppo-
~ nent, tender father, a faithful husband,
IL friendly neighbor, a patriotic citizen,
W and kind master.
GN He is a son of the church, except it be
llJ erroneous, and a servant of the law, ex-
Is cept where iniquity is established by law.
I'M lfa clergyman, he breaches as much by
81 truth without fear or favor, ana regards
lI)l not the rich more than the poor.
* liza physician, he does not make hazard
* GUS experiments on his patients refuse
II attendance when pay is doubtful, or pro-
* tract the disease for the sake of length
~ ening out his bill.
llJI Ii politician, he does not hold to the
W maxim that all is fair in politics, he does
m not trim his opinions by the popular
W breeze. nor sacrifice honor, truth, andright
Is for office.
nm If a trader he does not conceal a fault
w in his goods, or represent them to be
& what they are not. He sells his goods at
In the market price, and for only a fair
" profit.
* If an editor, he is not venal, though
II poor, he does not lend his columns to
* false representations, orpuff nostrums, or
NJ know the meaning of black mail.
|I)I He is not a worshipper of idols. The
Is worlds trinity, wealth. honor and pleas
m ure, are not gods of his serving. His
(llJ character and his conscience are his chief
& treasures-his reputation he leaves to
nm take care Of itself. He is more careful
W to deserve esteem than to win it, to do
N we'll than to obtain the credit of it.
nl A vaultng ambition is not his sin. He
" does not strive to keep others down that
* he may keep up, nor to put others down
Il that he may rise above them.
* He regards money only for its use-for
~ the good which may be done by it, He
/ is industrious from choice and from prin-
Spirit of the times. [volume] (Ironton, Ohio) 1853-1858, 1854-09-26

ciple. holding idleness to be disgrace.
and useful labor honorable. IF success
full in business, he does not sink in virtue
as he rises in fortune.
He is not elated in prosperity or de.
pressed in adversely. A humble condi-
tion excites in him no shame, and an ex
alted condition no pride. He is neither
servile to his superiors, nor naughty to
his interiors, but always remembers that
he is man, and that his brethren are al
so men.
When he sees the faults of others, he
calls to mind his own, and what he con-
demns in another, he disallows in him
self.
He fears nothing but doing wrong.
scorns nothing but vice, detests nothing
but evil, and can censure a fault with
out hating the offender.
He keeps his passions under subiection.
and has rule over his own spirit. He
may be insulted, but he will not revenge
it.; if evil is done him, he overcomes evil
with good. He writes the benefits con-
ferred upon him on the tablets on his
heart, his wrongs he writes upon the sand.
His tongue is governed by the law of
kindness, and good will to all men dwels
within his breast As he would wish
others to do unto him, so he ever strives
to do unto them. He has heart to SYM
pathise with the distressed in their afflic-
tions, and gladly contributes to the relief
of their necessities according to his abil
ity, and without ostentation. He is ewes
to the blind, feet to the lame, friend to
the friendless, and the defender of the
oppressed.
In the expenditure of his income. he
is liberal without prodigality, and frugal
without parsimony. In his declarations
he tells the truth without exaggeration or
diminution. His mere word is as good
as bond and as strong as an oath-What
he says he means, what he processes he
practices, and what he promises he per-
forms.
In his manners, he is cheerful without
levity, courteous without obsequiousness,
affable without loquacity, dignifed with
out pride.
His days are spent in doing good, and
when he leaves the world, he leaves it
better than he found it.
He lives usefully, dies peaceably, and
spends his eternity gloriously.
God is his father, man is his brother, the
earth his sojourning place, and heaven
his eternal home.
