SoFr Soar FOR ALL SORTS OF PERSONS
For a lieutenant, call him captain for a
middle-aged lady, kiss her, and say that you
mistook her for her daughter for a young
gentleman rising fifteen, ask his opinion re-
specting the comparative merits of a razor !
for young ladies, if you know their color to
be natural, accuse them of painting.

A late eminent divine of Baltimore, criti-
cizes Pope's celebrated lines, "An honest
mans the noblest work of God" and con-
temptuously asks, "Wherein consists the no
bleness of paying ones de6ts' Nobleness in
returning a certain number of dollars and
cents for value received2 Why the man that
does not pay his debts, is not considered a gen.
tleman, sc. That really was the condition
of things in DR., Nevins' day, we presume ;
but we think if he could return to earth in
the present state of affairs, he would almost
be ready to admit that an 'honest man is the
nohlest work of God"-even if the word hon
est were limited to its least significant mean
ing. However, Pope used the word in its
broadest sense, and we give below, as illus
trative of his understanding Of it, the follow
ing lines by George Herbert. Let every one
who reads them ask himself, how near he or
she comes to this admirable standard of hon
esty.
VHo is the honest man?
He that doth still and strongly good pursue;
10 wv, ~ ANlbuool, II nluloSl luUj
Whom neither force nor fawning can
Surprise, or wrench from giving all their due.
Whose honesty is not
So loose or easy, that a rufiing wind
Can blow away, or glitttering look at blind
Who rides his horse an easy trot
While the world now rides by, now lags behind.
Who, when great trials come
Nor seeks nor shuns them; but doth calmly
stay
Till be the thing and the exam pie weigh;
All being brought into a sum,
What place or persons call for, he doth pay.
Whom none can work or WOO
To use in anything a trick or sleight;
For above all things he abbors deceit
His words, and works, and fashions too
All of a piece and all are clear and straight.
Who never mGlts or thaws !
At close temptations. When the day is done
His goodness sets not, but in dark can run.
The sun to others writeth laws
And is their virtue:.. Virtue is his sun.
Who when he is to treat /
With sick folks, women, those whom passions
sway,
Allows for that, and keeps his constant way
Whom others faults do not defeat,
But though men fail him, yet his heart doth
play.
Whom nothing can procure
When the wide world runs bias from his will,
To writhe his limbs, and share, not mend the
i'll,
This is the markham safe ard sure,
Who still is right, and prays to be 80 still.
