Don’t be afraid to do yonr duty
because some one ridicules or op
poses you. A man who lias con
victions of his own, and courage
to advocate them, will be sure to
have opposition in this world be
cause he runs contrary to other
people’s opinions; but just keep
right ahead if your conscience is
clear. Don’t bother yourself about
what the other fellow says; life is
too short for that. Some abuse
you tbrough envy and others
through want of principle, but if
you keep right on openly and
intelligently and with proper dig
nity and character, honest of pur
pose and self-respect, those wbo
differ from you will respect your
opinions.—Exchange.
