A MORAL MAN.
There’s Mr Strait, a moral man, And all who know him know it; Who strives to do the best he can, And strives his best to show it. He never stole in all bis life, And he’s prepared to prove it ; He knew of gold within a safe— But hadn’t steogth to move it. He’s proud of his integrity, He’s honest to the letter ; His lips would scorn to lisp a lie— When truth would pay him better. If e'er he loved in all his life, He let not passion fret him ; He never kissed his neighbor’s wife— Because she wouldn't let him.
