He has Enemies.

We never hear the remark made of a man,
"That he has a great many enemies' with
out feeling DESTROYS Of his acquaintance. We
are sure to find him, in many respects a ster-
ling character. 4 man who plods along in
the same track of his forefdthers-who never
breaks away from the traces Of expedience,
and who thinks and writes with the same
pen, and from the same model, that his grand
father used, seldom if ever gains an enemy.
But he who thinks fer himself, is something
of a genius, and has talents of a high order,
is sure TO find enemies at every corner. A
truthful paragraph that he has written-dar-
ling vices that he has denounced-or a sense
even of his superiority over themselves, in
duce many TO say severe things Of him and
bring his good name into contempt. When
lived the energetic, active, talented man, who
had no enemies Even perfection itself, in
the life of Christ, was ridiculed, spoken a.
galnst, abused, spit upon, and cast away!
A man who has no enemies need net relax
his efforts nor presume that he is the worst
person that ever lived. If he is upright in
his dealings, and benevolent in his DISPOSE
ton, obliging and accommodating 10 all class
es he must have the appreciation of il good
conscience, and his sleep will be refresh
ing.
We would not give a farthing for the man
who has no enemies-who panders to the de-
PRAYED appetites of the bad and pretrnds 10
uncommon sanctity among the religious
who never denounces sin, for fear of a frown,
or expresses himself as a friend 10 virtue, lest
he be ridiculed. No-give us the faithful in
dividual who s~ustains the right at fearful
odds, and speaks out boldly when vice comes
in like a flood. Such a man is honored and
approved by Heaven, and w always extend
IN him the riuht hand Of EnlnNehin Say,.

THE Tolls OF A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
per literature is a link in the great chain of
miracles which proves the greatness Of Eng
land, and every support should be given 10
newspapers. The editors of these papers
must have a most enormous task. 1t is not
the writing of the leading articles itself, but
the obligation to write that article every week,
whether inclined or not, in sickness or in
health, in atfllction, disease of mind, winter
and summer, year after year, tied down TO
the task, remaining in one spot. 1t is some
thing like the walking Of a thousand miles in
a thousand hours. ] have a fellow-feeling,
for | know how a periodical will wear down
ones existence. In itself, il appears moth
ing: the labor is not manifest; nor is it the
labor, it is the continual attention which it
requires. Your life becomes, as it were, the
publication. One week is no sooner correct
ed and printed, than on comes another. 1t is
the stone OF Slsyphus, an endless repetition
OF toll, a constant weight upon the mind, d
continual wearing upon the intellect and spir-
its, demanding all the e~Xertion OF your facul.
ties, at the same time that you are compelled
TO do the severest drudgery. To write for a
paper is very well, but 10 edit one is 10 con.
denim yourself 10 slavery.-HaryaH.
The TuRK.-The traveller, Mr.. Darrell.
was walking in Constantinoplc, through a
tendant Turk. The stores were supplied
with the richest assortment of merchandise
among them he saw one pre-eminent for thu
or two articles which he should like to pur
chase, and by doing so gain a full view of tn,
contents OF the store, he proposed to his at
tendant TO enter.
This is impossible said the Turk, a
, the owner has gone out
But said Mr.. Darrell, the door is open.
D True replied The Turk, but do you no
D see at the door a chair with its back turne,
towards the street! a sign that no one is with
8 in, and that no person must enter
But said Mr.. b., is the owner not eX
posing his immense amount of property TO dc
4 probation
: mot at all, not at ALL said the Turk, 3D.
you not know that no Christians are Above,
10 enter this street without a Turk to atten
them
. This shows the difference which a Tur
(at least) thinks he finds between his ow
people and the Greeks.
