Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to slanderers or gossip
mongers. Keep straight ON in your course,
and let your backbiting die the death of
neglect. What is the use of lying awake
nights, broOding over the remark of some
false friend that ran through your brain
like forked lightning. What's the use of
getting into a worry and fret over gossip
that has been set atloat to your disadyan-
tage by some meddlesome busybody who
has more time than character: These
things cannot permanently injure yoll, nn-
less you take notice of them, and in con,-
batting them, give them character and
standing.
If what is said about you is true, get
yourself right at once; If false, let it 90 for
what it will fetch. If a bee stings you,
would You go into the hive and destroy it?
Would not u thousand come on to You? 1t
is wisdom to say little respecting the in
juries you have received. We are gener-
ally losers in the end five stop to reftte
all the backbitings and gossippings we
may hear by the way. They are a. noyino,
it is tue, but not dangerous, so long as we
do not stop to expostulate and scold. Our
characters are formed and sustained by
and by our own actions and pllr-
poses, and not by others. Let us ALWAYS
bear in mind that s'calilmniators may t,st,-
ally be trusted to time and the slow but
steady justice of public opinion. Central
