will-energetic and perseyering industry
-punctuality and fidelity in every en-
gagement-justice and honor controlling
every transaction, and courtesy-that
true courtesy that springs FROM genuine
kindness. These 90 to make up the
American London Banker, and they are
the elements which always enter into the
composition Of genuine manhood. Jus
tice and honor control every transac-
tion." This is the sublimate essence of
greatness, and wherever it is found and
wherever it is practiced, there is always
found human nature exalted above the
common mass.
At the Worlds Exhibition in 1851 he,
by the liberal contribution of his means,
doing what Congress shamefully refused
to do, enabled his countrymen to make
a respectable appearance with the Ma.
tons of the world. In 1852 he did what
Congress should have done, made an
appropriation of $4,000 to tit out the
ships of DR.. Kane's Arctic Expedition
And he has always been, under all cir
cumstances, the friend and protector of
American citizens, when applied to for
assistance.
The above are few OF the outlines OF
the life Of George Peabody, the London
Banker. He is now worth millions Of
dollars. Not worth it simply, because
he controls SO much, but worth it intrin-
sically, of himself If the young men of
the country would study the lives and
characters of such men they would there
find what is required to ''pull up drowned
honor ty the locks" and how wealth is
acquired and how it ought to be enjoyed.
