200. Public servants;
Soldiers/Sailors
"The character of a soldier is high. They who stand forth the
foremost in danger, for the community, have the respect of
mankind. An officer is much more respected than any other man
who has as little money. In a commercial country, money will
always purchase respect. But you find, an officer, who has,
properly speaking, no money, is every where well received and
treated with attention. The character of a soldier always stands
him in good stead."
