Professional JEALOUSY. Jealousy is one of
the meanest, but not the least powerful, of the
unclean spirits that infest modern society. How
rarely is it that we hear sincere, unqualified
praise flowing from the lips Of rival! In
order 70 beget hatred, it seems only necessary
that two men should start on the same path.
They may be friends at first; but in q very
short while afterwards we are sure to hnd tnen,
foes the success of the one being gan anu
NORWOOD to the other. Do you DOUBT inns
Then look around. Who are the most I'M

things as systematic suubbing from seniors.
.1sLet no man charge us with inconsistency in
these remarks. Weexpect not that professional
competitors shall 60 about trumpeting each 9TH

liberality beyond the powers of human nature.
But there is wide difference between that and
running down your rival. Why hate man be-

QUEER PRoCEsS-lt is curious to see the cir
culation of great city commence in the morn
ing-the great city that had roared itself tc
sleep. True, there was a feeble pulse all night
the cars beat to and fro; carriage now ant
then gave a futter, but after all, there had
been quiet hour. About half million of the
people had been lying on "a dead level for four
or five hours some on pillows of down, some on
curb stones; some beneath silken couuterpanes
and some beneath the great blue quilt OF heaven
Queer figure they make in the minds eye, to be
sure 100000 folks, more or less, lying on their
back-lying in tears and rows, five or six miles
long-lying three or four deep In the cellar

Three hundred thousand people snoring what
a concert! Two hundred thousand people
dreaming Two hundred thousand people
in red night-caps; one hundred Thousand il
white, and here and there one trimmed with
lace. Fifty thousand curis twisted up in pa

thousand curls hanging over the backs of chair

such people, they never grow gray at all! lie

the getting up, the waking up is funny enoug
for farce. It's a process, a species of gradu

the fellow hasn't sleepy hair about him.
Snowy quilts that have just risen and fallel
with the soft bosoms beneath, begin to grow un

draw the curtain and leave them to their toilette
Bundles of rags in dark damp corners toss an,
