If. you wish, to be a valuable

ta our country and a staithful ser
vant to yonr Creator convince the
world that your word is equal to your
bond,, and that it is not so much
the law as honor that binds you to
the performance of tjic duties of
ociety
Breaking -your faith may gain
a ou riches, but will never obtain
you glory. He that breaks his
promise, even in, the most trifling
circumstances, will do it in the
greatest, it occasion serves ; and
whoever ao forfeits his faith, des
trbysthe principal bond of society .;
and let his rank' and property be
what theywill, can never be const
dered as an unricht and honest man.
iHe may be a manol wealth, a man
oi rant, and a man of diguity, but
never a man of honor.
Thint therefore an hour before
you speak, and a day before j-ou
promise ; for remember, a man's
word and the effects of it, ought
to be as tnseperable as fire and
heat ; and ever consider, faith and
honesty as the most sacred duties
of mankind, not to be forced by
necessity, or corrupted by reward.
Faith is the foundation of justice,

False honor is setfish, ostentta

ioves the greatings in the market-
r c uuncc oi tne muitixuae,
and has her principal reliance on
the breath pfc fame, whom sheccn.

reserved, silent andmwlest.- She
acts from integritv bnlv. and not
from the lores of ;fame,'whom she
never courts. The former cone
quentlv associates with the vain
the selfish, the proud, the omenta
tious, and the ambitious, and is not
infrequently companion to the
most vicious. But the lattrr is on
lv to be found among the truly vir
tuous and good.
It is as impossible for a bad man
to have true honor, as for a good
man to have the false ; so true it is
even- tree may be known by the
fruit thereof.-'
If a man boasts much to vou of
his honor arid integrity, and swears
frequently upon his honor, depend
upon it, he lias neither the one nor
the other ; af least he is only ac
quainted with false honor, for the
true never speaks ol herself.
But let it be our care to form
an alliance with the true honor, and
shun the false ; eschew evil and
it will fly from you, so court honor
and she will never forsake you.

The conduct of a power towards
its captive prisoners, is often, as
sumed as a criterion of its civiliza
tion : at any rate it has stated as
one of the great oyects of refine
ment, to lessen the extent of in.
dividual -suffering, without im
pairing the efficiency of belligerent
measures. The superior policy o!
modern times, if not their -greater
refinement, has exacted from an
enemy the utmost tenderness- to
wards prisoners and a disregard
of this dun- is viewed as the in
fraction ot a principle of national
law. There ncer was" a -cation
whose regard for this principle has
beenfso tniiforu. and 'idffeiiolcj 'as
our own, il we may infer from the
absence of all complaint on the part
of our enemies, and the frequency
of their acknoriedgments of apta
of peculiar -delicacy and ktridness
from individuals ; nor has any ha
