degree and character Of turptude, in so far
as Il put at risk the money Of a number Of
oo-ubscribers who honorably redeemed their
word, and also imperilled tho fortunes Of an
enterprise involving thousands Of dollars.
We mention this case, not because il Is singu-
lar or in any wise remarkable, but merely 10
say that the individuals who were guilty of
90 plain BIT ofpractical falsehood and swind-
ling hold their heads very loltily in our busl-
ness community and our social circles; and
would denounce it as an Infamous crime If a
poor devil should forge their names to any
paper, though they daily take that liberty
with their own names, quite as decidedly and
efIectually, according to any sound norl
law, and in the sight Of God.
1t is melancholy to behold, among the most
reputable persons, persons who stand as exem-
plars of virtue and honor among us, and who
influence our social and business life, acts OF
dishonesty and equiyocaton that would dis
grace common rascal, and send him TO the
penitentary. But such things are almost too
familiar to excite remark, while society itself
is so demoralized that It opens its arms and
its doors to the canting nabobs, whose riches
have been the wages Of sin, aud whose religion
or whose morality is all summed up in a code
of selnshness and cupidity that would shame
the devil

There is the strangest want Of honesty
among the mass Of reputedly honest men. We
are often forced to doubt whether there is
such thing as an entirely and genuinely
honest man, OF any just sense in the world of
what honesty really is. We venture to
affirm that hardly a day passes in which some
body does not meet with an instance of bad
faith and double dealing where he would
have looked most implicitly for the strictest
and most inflexible integrity.
These experiences are not only surprising
but painful. They shake our trust ia all man
kind, and lead US in the end to conduct our
business, and even our social intercourse with
each other, on the principle that no one is
true, but all are knaves. 1t is amazing 90 OBJ
serve what very mean and petty frauds the
best men according TO this worlds estimate Of
them, VIII be guilty Of habitually and without
the ligh,est apparent consciousness that they
@ doing any thing dishonorable. Their moral
stuse il either very uncllighieacl, of y3ry
sadly perverted. 1t would appear thls th,
q. By sound standard OF risot la b,sn, Ia
lrao tice, departed from so gradual AL nj
veTsally, that the world s 20. aylrs 'I.titi,
protesting one code OF st-ics, While yiIg b.

Many ofus have very refined and just ideas
Of duty, which we violate continually without
any compuncuOus visitlngs of conscience,
though we think very III Of others who are
guilty Of conduct which, in ourselves, does not
at all seem unbecoming. The reason of this
Is that we try our neighbors by theoretical
morality which is very severe and exalted.
and about which we discourse at all times
with the eloquenee and complacency of
"JOseph Surface and determine the reotl-
tude OF our own lives by test which is accom-
modated TO the demands or exigencles Of our
vices and passions.
We met with case recently, in which
certain persons who would avoid a race
course with holy horror, committed, delibe-
rately, an act Of had faith, which less pre-
tentious and puritanieal, but more truly
honest, man declared to Us would have ex-
PEELED them instantly from any loelxev club To

names and pledged their word 70 an sxorogs

to the conditions and obligations of their en-
gagement
This was gross and direct fraud in point
Of morals; but It was even more than that in

timely end, IS is recorded in the following
