 Man cannot act more periidious part

 Than use his utmost efforts to obtain

 A confidence in order to deceive.

 Honor and integrity ought to De the leading principles of every transaction in fife. These are virtues highly re- 4uisiie, notwithstanding they are too frequently disregarded. Whatever pur- suits individuals are i'll quest of, since rity ia profession, steadiastness in pur- suit, and punctuality in discharging en- agreements, are indispensably incum- bent.
