The very pompous individual, who like a

his ear Is only Of individual praise. No
true, genuine manbood-no sincere man
who is properly impressed with the great
difference between what he knows. and
what there is TO be known, ever imagines
that he is the subject OF envy or jealousy
on the part Of any one. IL is only the su

falsely educated and intensely conceiteo
who can imagine any such thing. II il
