You milk and watei people, who con ter themselves with simply doing n harm, at thc same time never doin any'good-they are merely negative! Your man of Joice, who doe3 ut wait for a stone to get out of hi heaven appointed way, but manfull rolls it over, may unintentionally hurt somebody's toes in the act ; bu thousands who will have to trave that way will thank him for clearinj it. The man or woman who has m enemies is generally a sleek, creep iug, cowardly creature, caring for rn one but himself-smirking and creep ing in his unchallenged way to thi obscurity he merits. He adds noth ing to the common stock-does M good in the world, and is lowerec into his six feet of earth without on< sincere regret from any one. He nat had no enemies, but has he had ? friend ?
