ENvY.-When statue had been erect
ed to Theogenes, a celebrated victor IN
one of the public games of Greece, by his
fellow citizens of Thasos, we are told that
it excited SO strongly the envious hatred
of one Of his rivals, that he went to it every
night, and endeavored to throw it down by
repeated bows, till at last, unfortunately
successful, he was crushed to death be-
meath its fall. This, if we consider the
self-consuming misery of envy, is truly
what happens to every envious man. lie
may, perhaps. throw down his rivals glo.
~, but he is crushed in his soul beneath
the glory which he ovsrturn..

! Ha / Fund amounted with the above 10 $40,
$50 81, which with money in Treasury
amounted 10 $40 COS IS. Total in Treasury
after deduciing expenditures $40 45. There
have been expended on the Grand Hall al

In 1850, IN Iadinna, there were reported

take her place as the third or fourth State in
Railroad Importance:
The whole amount expended upon roads
in operation cannot be far from $500, 600. :

New York takes the lead in the extent OF
her roads and will probably maintain her po-
sliion as the first Railroad State ia The Union
for an indefinite period. Ohio will soon fol-
low us The The second, Pennsy vania the
third, and Georgia the fourth Mdssachu
setts must soon lose her r,laiIve position from

bids fair 10 have the most in proportion to her

number of the PROJECTS; and unless HE Ge-
