But it was as a citizen and in private life that the virtues of Mr. H. shone out most conspicuously. Associating him- self early with the Presbyterian Church, he was during his whole life an example of the higliest type of the Christian gentle- man under every circumstance, either in the society of the most cultivated or in the midst of the roughest characters of that early day, he invariably preserved the bearing, dress and manner of a gentleman. His evenness of temper was remarkable, and was scarcely ever ruffled or disturbed. He was scrupulously exact in his dealings. No man was more kind to the poor. No one had more consideration for the lowly.
