Partisan modistes soon clothed the la

to liquidate all claims. The eulogies
pronounced at his funeral service, and
the marble spire which points heaven
ward, both attest virtues which he
never had. His more unfortunate
neighbor may have fallen and died in
dishonor simply because some un-
toward event mas made it impossible for
him to keep his word. Here it is that
true manhood rises above the foibles
and faults and temptations which in
evitably drag him down, or show TO the
world that he Is of the clean grit. Fail
ure to redeem promise is not, of neces-
sity, Reputation. The truly honest man
builds upon substratum of strict moral
integrity-the kind which reflects the
true colors when the inner search-light
is turned upon his purposes by his own
hand. 1t is the quality which stands
erect upon its own vertebra, independ
ent of all extraneous influences and
temptations-the quality which prompts
the right course simply for the sake of
right. 1t is all very well to pirate about
honesty, but in making the application
it should be remembered that 1t is not
always the art so much as the motive
which establishes individual guilt.

The devil has genius Nothing but
that could have moved him to bring about
SO apt a conjunction of two so mutually
caustic provincialisms; the blending of the
noble hauteur of the Southron with the
otherwise obnoxious austerity of the

seems something awful to us, we canno t
blame the devil for whirring his tail with

am apt to think that, in the day of
judgment, there will be small allowance
given to the wise for their want of morals,
and to the ignorant for their want of
faith. for both are without excuse. But
some scruples in the wise and some vices
in the ignorant will perhaps be forgiven
upon the strength of temptation to each.
What they do in heaven we are ignor-
ant of; what they do not do we are told ex-
pressly, that they neither marry nor are
given in marriage. Will some kind soul
like Breck or DIR. Paxton please rise aud
state something reassuring about the
other place.
