Preservation of Character. 
An observing man is never without sources of 
amusement, and it is certain that among these 
sources the unconscious devices resorted to for 
the creation and preservation of character, in the 
eye of the world, deserve a prominent place. We 
meet in every town men who feel that they have 
filled up the measure of their character, and have 
nothing further to do in life but to bear that char¬ 
acter, like a full vessel, to their graves, without 
spilling a drop. They walk the streets as if they 
were bearing it upon their heads. They bow to 
their acquaintances with the consciousness of their 
precious burden constantly uppermost. They 
refrain from all complication with the stirring 
questions of the times through fear of a fatal jostle. 
They speak guardedly, as if a word might jar their 
priceless vase from the poise of continence. There 
is nothing so important to them as what they are 
pleased to consider their character; consequently, 
that is always to be consulted before any course of 
action can be determined upon. All questions of 
morality and reform, all matters of public or polit¬ 
ical interest, all personal associations, are consid¬ 
ered primarily with reference to this character. 
If they prove to be consistent with it, and seem 
calculated to reveal something more of its glory, 
they are entered upon, or adopted, otherwise, they 
are discarded. 
When a man arrives at a point where the preser¬ 
vation of his character becomes the prime object 
of his life, he may be considered a harmless man, 
but one upon whom no further dependence can be 
placed in carrying on the work of the world. As 
a member of society, he becomes strictly orna¬ 
mental. We point to him as one of the ripe fruits 
of our civilization. We make him President of 
Conventions and Benevolent Associations. We 
introduce strangers to him that they may be im¬ 
pressed. We chronicle his arrival at the hotels. 
We burn incense before him, because we know it 
will please him, and because we know that he 
rather expects it. Small children regard him in 
respectful silence a3 he passes. He becomes one 
of our institutions, like a City Hall or an old church. 
We always know where to find him, as we do a 
well-established town-line. But one thing we 
never do; we never go to him in an emergency 
that demands risk and self-sacrifice, because we 
know that those things are not in his line. His 
character is the first thing, and that is to be taken 
care of. When we want any thing of this kind 
done, we go to men who have no character, or, 
having one, are not uncomfortably conscious of it.
