HAVE YOU ENEMIES Go straight on
and don't mind them. If they get in your
way, walk around them regardless of their
spite. A man who has no enemies ia sel-
dom good for anything; he is made of that
kind of material, which is 30 easily worked
that every one has hand in it. A sterling
character is one who thinks for himself,
and speaks what he thinks; lie is always
sure to have enemies. They are as neces-
sary to him as fresh air, they keep him
alive and active. A celebrated character,
who was surrounded by enemies, used to
remark: "They are sparks, which, if You
do not blow, will go out Of themselves"
Live down prejudice" was the Iron
Dukes motto. Let this be your feeling
while endeavoring to live down the scandal
of those who are bitter against you. If
you stop. to dispute, you do but as they de-
SIRE and open the way for more abuse.
Let the poor fellow talk-there will be
reaction if you perform but your duty, and
hundreds who were once alienated from
you will flock to you and acknowledge their
error.

An Editor of two Papers.

An antiquated writer in the Memphis
appeal has dug up out Of his memory
the following rich story The young
lawyer referred to is still fourishing in
Memphis There was never greater
local excitement than that which grew
out Of this internal navy-yard business.
Half the people were in favor Of accept
ing the property, and half or more op-
posed to it, the later, thinking that the
Government might be induced even yet
to make liberal appropriations and per-
feet the naW-yard and build ships and
steamers here. There were two news
papers published hcre-one a morning
publication, edited by a gentleman of
no ordinary ability named Bankhead,
who was tragically and mysteriously as
Sassinated some six years ago. There
was another an afternoon paper, called
the NeocS Il believe that was its name),
edited by man named Yancey. These
editors opposed one another on the navy
yard question, and their discussion had
begotten a good deal Of excitement,
when both went away for the summer,
and each, without the others knowledge,
employed the same man, this young
lawyer, to conduct his paper in his abb
sencc, The young limb of the law
naturally enough took to both sides of
the question, He made the controversy
between the two papers hotter and hot
ter on each successive day. Crowds
gathered each afternoon about the Ne7Us
office, and somebody expected that the
two furious editors would shed blood
The coming duel in Arkansas was con-
fdently anticipated, and the ferocity OF
the two papers was marvellous. Popular
excitement was intense when Blankhead
came hurrying home from Virginia, and
Yancey from Alabama, each thinking
that the other was about to murder his
own substitute Such was the fever of
popular feeling and evaporation that
the story was necessarily kept quiet. If
the mischievouS fraud upon the public
passion had been exposed at the time,
the con amOre editor would have been
hanged to a lamp-post."

Sleeping with a Dead Man.

Jack Temple was very brave man
and a very good one too. There wa;
no better man in the countryside Sick
men were always glad to get him, and
in desperate cases, when everybody
else was broken down, Jack was lnva-
riably sent for and kept, because he
never broke down. With this preface,
Jack must tell his own story in hi,
own words.
"What| | exclaimed, "slept with q
dead man? That is little too hard
Jack"
at is the truth, if ever | told it.
You remember Archy Anderson, don't
you?'
"Very well"
Il slept with him, and it came about
in this way. Everybody was so broke
down when he died that they couldn't
sit up with the corpse. 'Twouldn't do
for the corpse to be left alone by it
self; so they brought out an old ham,
some cold biscuit and a bottle of whis-
ky (what's one bottle of whisky to
meg, built up good fire, but forgot
to get any wood to keep it a-going
and there | was alone in my glory.
Archy was laid out on the bed, and |
sat by the fire till it burned spang out.
The whiskey had gone and died out
long before, l got chilled to my very
vitals-you know how cold man gets
when he loses sleep, anyway?-and |
was afraid I'd ketch my death if did
not do something. | hated to disturb
the family, all broke down as they
were, and what to do | didn't know.
They had laid Archy out on the bed,
as | said before, and it was a feather
bed. with a good thick quilt on it, too.
| got colder and colder, and | couldn't
keep my eyes off that bed to save my
soul. But plague take it all they had
put Archy right in the middle Of it.
"At last | could stand it no longer.
SO | went up to the bed, turned down
the sheet and looked Archy full in the
face. He looked mighty peaceful So
| says to him, | says, Archy, old fel-
low! you and me was good friends
waren't we Archy? You never hurt
me whilst you was livin', and | be dog
if | believe you'll hurt me now-will
you Archy?' He never said nothin, so
| jumped right in, covered up and slept
like a top till after sun up. But the
funny part was, woke up and saw
that dead face lookin' up at the ceilin',
l made one leap and lit plump in the
fireplace. | never was so skeered in
all my life, and didn't quit tremblin'
for half an hour. But I'd heap rath-
er sleep with a dead man than a live
one. Dead men cant spoon, it's true,
but they don't snore, nor do they dig
you in the ribs, nor kick you in their
sleep, nor pull the kiver off you, nor
nothin'. They are first rate bedfel-
lows, and you'll never ketch me sittin'
up with corpse agin if | can get in
bed with him."

Baggage Smashing.

The other day, Mr.. Dodd of Dodd's
Express, came to the Atlantic Pacific
Arctic Ocean House. He said he didn't
think he could sleep, that he was so
accustomed to hear the rumble of wag-
ons and the banging of trunks that the
Long Branch silence was positively
oppressive.
"Well try and make it comfortable
for you," said William, and that night
he collected twenty-five trunks, and
had the poor walters banging them,
and thrashing them, and breaking them
in front of Mr.. Dodds room. All the
night long the haggard forms of the
walters could have been seen banging
those trunks. My splendid English
sole leather was among the rest, but
alas in the morning there was nothing
left but the straps and one hinge At
five a. m, the boys were still throwing
the destroyed trunks against Mr.. Dodd's
door. When Mr.. Dodd came down
he said he had slept splendid.
He said ''every time the whanged
Mr.. Perkins S65 trunk down on the
floor, it sounded like sweet music-it
sounded like being at home by my own
express office"
Then he smiled, rubbed his hands,
and went down to the sea and drank
the water. William Leland's faithful
waters smashed up the trunks and
satchels so naturally, that Mr.. Dodd
has engaged them to go around with
his teams in New York this winter.
One man has got so that he can pitch
a 200 pound trunk sixteen feet, and
make it roll over four times.-EW Per-

vited public attention to new Vegetable Re-
storatve, and solicited trial of its merits as q

tious way, PLANTATION BrrTERs was intro
duced to the world. 1t was success from the
beginning. All that was claimed for it as a
tonic, corrective and antidote to malarious
fever, was found to be strictly true. Within
five years the annual sales of this article
amounted to over One Million Of Bottles. A
few years more and the demand had swelled to
tre millions The annual consumption of the
bitters has now reached the almost incredible
aggegate of SIX MILLIONS OF BOTTLES, and for
