(Selected. ) A friend is a person who is "for I you" always, under any circumstan, ces. He likes you just as you are, He does not want to alter you. | There are many faithful wives and I husbands; there are few faithful friends. Friendship is the most admirable, amazing and rare article among human beings. Anybody can stand by you when you are right; a friend stands by you evtrn when you are wrong. Like the shade of a great tree iri the noonday heat, is a friend. Like the home port, with your country's flag flying, after long journeys, is a friend. A friend is an impregnable citadel of refuge in the strife of existence. It is he who keeps alive your faii;h in human nature, that makes you believe in a good universe. He is the antidote for despair, the elixir of hope, the tonic for depression. You give to him without reluctance and borrow from him without embarrassment. vnn li\ro vnnrc nnrl finrl nriP ** J V ^ *4 ' ^ V.4-absolute friend, you are fortunate. ON TO RICHMOND!
