Character Makes the Man.

The man of character is always the
man OF iron nerve; he may not be a
great statesman or politician; he may
be humble i'm his associations and his
aspirations; but with all these excep-
tions, if he has character his heart is
right. his integrity is mistaken. He
looks on truth with a clear vision,
acting i'm accordance with its glorious
dictates; he does not fear nor shun
the face OF his fellow-man, for his
heart is white with integrity, and he
looks Eumbly and trustingly up to
the source Of truth, and his fellow
beings, in lower sense, look up to
him because he is trustworthy, and,
in short, has character-good and
