HUMANITY -- HONESTY
The person who advertises a lost pure in this day's paper, being blind, we cannot but home that humanity will join issue with honesty, in pleading for its return to the owner, whoever may have found it.
If heaven has pronounced a curse upon him "who leads the blind out of the way," what must he expect who retains, knowingly, the lost property of the blind, and especially of the blind poor -- Think seriously of the case, and whoever may have found his purse and money, suppose yourselves to be in the same condition, and do by him as you would another in that case should do by you.
