The Man Of Honor
ous title that is ! Who would not ratherliave it than any that kings can bestow? It is worth all the gold and sil ver in the earth. He who merits it wears a jewel in his soul, and needs none upon his bosom. His word is good ; and if there were no law in the land, he might be just as safely dealt ■with. ïo take unfair advantage is not in him ; to quibble and guard his speech, so that he says soinething which he does not mean, even while they never can prove that it is so, would be impossible to his frank nature. His speeches are uever riddles. He looks you in the eye and says straight out what he has to say, without mental reservation ; and he does unto others what he would have others do unto him. It is not only in business that he may show his right to a glorious title. Who ever heard him betray the faults andfollies of his friends, or speak sliffhtimrlv of his near kindred? The man of honor is always a good son and a good brother ; and wlien the time comes makes an excellent husband, making the vow to love and cherish and protect with a perfect comprehension of its holiness ; he never breaks it. What woman need fear to obey a man of honor? Ileaven be thanked that, amid the villains and tricksters of this world, there are inany such men left, loved and respected by all who know them.
