    Have you Enemies ?—Go straight on, and don't mind them. If they get in your way, walk round them, regardless of their spite. A man who has no enemies is seldom good for anything—he is made of that kind of materia 1 which is so easily worked that every one has a hand in it. A sterling character is one who thinks for himself, and speaks what he thinks. He. is always sure to have enemies. They are as necessary to him as fresh air. They keep him alive and active. A celebrated character, who was surroimded by enemies, used to remark ; They are sparks which, if you do not blow, will go out themselves. Let this be your feeling while endeavouring to live down the scandal of those who are bitter against you. If you stop to dispute , you do but as they desire, and open the way for more abuse. Let the poor fellows talk—there will be a reaction if you perform but your duty, and hundreds who were once alienated from you will flock to you, and acknowledge their error.—Bev. Dr, Campbell,
