ISLANDER.

1t does not depend upon me, said the Grecan
to prevent being spoken i'll Of it is only in my pow
er that 1t may be not done deservedly. So ought
to feel every who wishes to live in peace. ra
ther than to exercise spirit of retaliation, or even
an attempt TO repel false accusations We have
ever found that u man who could malign us, could
also lie to support his cause, and when he could no
longer sustain it. would black ball his opponent to
hide his own fthiness.
What if people do speak against you? Let
them feel you are able to bear it, What is there
gained by stopping to correct every word that is
whispered to your discredt? Lies will die if let
alone, but ifyou repeat them to this one and an
other because your enemies had the imprudence
to make them, you keep the fire burning, and open
the way for dozen .slanderers. Keep ON your
course, go straight forward, and trouble not your
head about what is repeated but feel all the better
and wear a less frightful face SANDER never kill
ed sterling character, and it never will. Her
coat will not sit upon him, without pull here, a
jerk there, and twist below and while this work
is going on, the false words are forgotten by the
multitude
