ENVY AND JEALOUSY,

1t may be safely said, are the sources of
more than half of the miseries Of man.
They are the most fiehd-lihe passions in
the human breast, and without doubt, are
productive ofmor disturbances in COM
munity, than all other causes put together.
They are continually causing feuds and
quafrels among ncighbors, in families
and between friends, and often upon some
imaginary foundation create diflerences,
deeply affecting the happiness of indvid-
uals. The little mind which cannot brook
to see another excel, or equal, or even
be respected, continually poisoning itsel
with mean jealousy its riSal, and fear
ing every moment to hear the accents o.
his praise, endures continual hell with
itself, and spreads its spleen and bitter
ness upon all around :-eiiviois of others
for every excellence, and jealous OF all
their movements, il secs nothing, hears
nothing, but what, through the distorted
medium Of its passions, becomes source
Of the bitterest disturbance. If n man
possesses an ambition to excel, and envy
ing those who have talent, increases his
exertions, and labors to make himself e.
quail to them, he deserves the approba-
ton of all, for he turns his passion to Il
good account but If there is man, who
cannot look upon an exceIling iival with
ut the vilcst rancour of enty, and who
suffers his passion, SO to get the better
ofhis reason; as instead ofstriving to i'm
prove himself, to seek to pull others down
to his own level, or by cslimny and de-
traction to blight the hopes, spoil the
peace, or ruin the reputation Of others
that man deserves the seterest reproba-
ton of all hottest men, and is unworthy to
be classed among the decent members Of
the human family.

Cromni,.shield's Leiiers.-We find, in
the New York Courier, the following cop
les of the letters written by Richard
Crownirshield to his sister, while he was
in prison, previous to the confession OF
Knapp. We had previously seen copies
of them, in manuscript and are well as
sured of their authenticity. These letters
serve to illustrate the character of the ex-
traordinary individual by whom they were
written; they .shew him to have been us
cunning and hypocritical as he Was bold
and desperate. 1t appears that he had
laid an ingenious plan TO prove an alb,
and perhaps, he would have Succeeded,
had his colleague, Knapp, not betrayed
him. The letters were written, no doubt,
for effect upon the syiiipatby and credulity
Of his friends and the public.
