rightness, when everything on earth and

immortality. To be hungry and honest;
to be cold, yet unwilling to steal: to be
miserably poor, and morally incapable of
becoming rich by dishonest methods; to
be obscure and homeless, rather than sell
the character for name and luxury-are
qualities of character that illustrate the
very heights of sublime manhood. Mon
