Envy IND ISLANDER. Envy chooses the
fairest victim, and slander loves shining
mark. 1t is astonishing with what facility
the wo Id at large grasps at the vaguest
calnmny against those who have appeared
superior, and how instantly a whisper
against an innocent woman is Matched into
a tale Of guilt, or hint of evil caught and
handled about when directed against an
obviously honest man. in the game OF
whist, there orcur periods when one fluids
every chance obstinatcly against him.
Frtune seems not only accj'lcnthlly cap
ricious, but malignant; and the pe>l player
is beaten, not by the skill Of his adversary,
hut by an unseen power in the air. How
often is it thus in the more important game
cf human life The poor mortal finds his
utmost exertions vain, and contends against
unfriendly influences, which mock the
wisest efforts, and tu,n them against him
