Jealousy.

Jealousy is at once the meanest and
the most unaccountable vices. What
belongs to us we shall have inevitably
and what we want and have not, we
shal never, win by unreason. If
we acre lovely, we shall be loved, 10
matter whether any other takes our
place ornot. Jealousy of thewealth the
social importance, or the happiness of
others is like unaccountable and absurd.
Your own house is not lowlier because
your neighbours is two stories higher.
If he should fail, and have to give up
his carriage, it would only crowd the
omnibus little more, and by this means
provide you with a vehicle.
What is human nature that makes our
poor fare seem poorer because our neigh
Dor is eating roast duck and drinking
champagne? 10 envy the love bestow-
ed upon another is equally idle. Hearts
keep their accounts usually with very
tolerable fairness. We shall receive that
of which we are worthy-no more-and
what is our own, by virtue Of orr desert,
no fate can take away.
