JEALOUSY In order to beget ha-
tired it only seems necessary that two
men should start in the same path.
They may be friends at first, but in a
very short time afterwards we are sure
to find them foes, the success of the one
being gall and NORWOOD to the other.
Do you doubt this ?-Then look around
you. Who are the most unmerciful crit
les of works Of art' Poetasters. Moot
but a point on theology, and you straight
way have reverend doctors abusing
each other with heartiHess that would
do credit to Billingsgate, and indicating
in no disguised language the future des-
tination Of their compecrs. Let med
ical practitioner start a new theory, and
his brethren are quickly down upon him.
He is quack-a rogue-an ass-an
impostor. Even though the life of a
patient be at stake, they scorn to hold
consultation with one who is disgrace
to his order. Better that Mrs. Jones
should die unaided than that the noble
faculty should be profaned. Furnish
couple Of rival tragedians with real
Andres Ferrara-let them fight it out
in the least act of Macbeth, and to a
moral certainty one Of them will be pink
ed or hideously slashed. Did you ever
knew a reiguing beauty who looked kind
ly on young debutante' If such
spectacle was ever seen, you may be
sure that there was mortal venom be-
meath the smile. Men said that law
.yers, as being constantly pitted against
each other, are the least jealous of all
the professionals, but we have heard OF
such things as systematic snubbing from
the seniors. An early chapter in the
Book of Genesis is suggestive of the
reason. The first murder arose from
hatred engendered by jealousy, and jeal-
ousy at the present day is as active and
vigorous as evcr.- Blaekw0od's Mag

Sorry for that, sir, said the stump
er. However," he continued, 81 was
once taught trick when boy, but !
almost forgot how the thing was done
I'll tell you how it was, stranger, as near
as I can. I used to take a red cent,
and change it into ten dollar gold
piece. "Oh," said the professor, "that
that is quite simple-a mere trick OF
sleight Of hand" Il know it's not very
difficult; but as I forgot how, will you
show me'" at the same time handing a
cent to the wizard. ooh, yes sir, if it
will oblige you, l will show you in a mo-
ment. "Hold your hand,' said the wiz
zard. ''This is your cent, is it not %

you sure you have it !" said the wizard.
81 guess 1 have" said he, "and III
bet yon dollar you can't change it into
ten dollar piece" Done," said the
wizard, now hold fast" eyes, sir,
l reckon I will-but stop down with
your dollar-here's mine :" said the yam
kee. The wizard covered his dollar.
Now, sir, are you ready :" said the
wizard. Now, sir, open your hand"
He did SO, and to his utter establishment
he held bona fide ten dollar gold piece
+" Well, SIR" said the wizard, you
see you have lost your dollar' CT

two dollars. "Now," said the profess
or, III bet you another dollar I will
change the ten dollar piece into your
cent again, much quicker" "No you

cling the money in his pocket, and but
toning it up tight. I" Pm much obliged
to you, Professor, but reckon I'll
leave it as it is. Good morning, old

and turning round as he reached the
door, he placed his digitals in close APP
