What if people do speak against you. Let
them feel that you are able to bear it. What
is there gained by stopping to correct every word
that is whispered to your discredit2 Lies will
die if let alone; but if you repeat them to this
one and another, because your enemies had the
impudence to make them, you but keep the fire
burning and open the way for dozen SANDER
ers. Keep on your course and go straightfor-
ward and trouble not your head about what is re-
peated, and feel all the better and wear less
frightful face. Slander never killed sterling
character and it never will Her coat will not
sit upon him, withour a pull here, jerk theIe,
and twist below, and while this work is going
on, the false words are forgotten by the multi
tude. Let us--you and reader-repeat what
another has said in rhyme, and il we have been
talked about or slandered, it will do us as much
as fry at Diamond Cove:


"Not all they say or do can make


My head or tooth, or finger ache,


Nor mar my shape, nor scar my face,


Nor put one feature out Of place;


Nor will ten thousand lies,
