Enyieus People.

It may be admitted the feeling Of
envy does moi arixc from pure malice.
It Is not direct cs,mity which is g,uti-
hsd or disappointed when man ia
rlsaasd ut tho evil, or mortified as tho
good. whiel1 behslk enc vile has in
jurod hin. Bat the root Of it Is in.
ordinate iote Of al worldly things
whatever-fron money and eputation
te appearance al=l sensual gratinca-
tions.
It is evident that as there arc de-
grccs of all these, The same person
the same man or woman will be rich
or poor, respectable or inconsi,crablc,
comcly or illiavorcd, according rs
those with whom l.c or she is com
pared, possess more or less Of the dc
sired advantage. This being The
case, rs long rs these ;hiacs arc un-
duly valued, the man WHO 80 values
them will be panied by seeing others
rosscss them il crater measure, be
cause he will himself thereby sink
lower i'll the scale, and this accounts
foria Discrimination which the passions
Of envy makes in the object on which
it fixes. Men envy moro those who
arc only a Hit'c above tlcm, than those
who arc rcrY nsch hj:yhcr; those Of
their own ago or profession moro !, han
those Of arothcr, though more
eligible ono, For, as VIC more regret
M advantage which We have been
near attaining, than one which never
came within our reach; so, when there
arise above us those who were once
below, or only equal to lis, VIC feel
more envy than We do at the advance
mcnt Of persons who always moved in
!, higher sphere, ana never called our
passions into exercise.

The Quickstep club left for Reading, this
morning, on the carly train on the Wilmington

noon at $50. Carroll, of the Cregar Club of
Camden will catch for them in place of Hindle,
who is disabled. Bushong could not be obtain

The Reading people are much Interested i'll this
afternoons game, their opinion of the Quckstep
club having been raised even above the old laVei
by its recent brilliant successes.
At Reading, on Tuesday afternoon, the st
Louis club played the Aetives and were success
full, the score standing Is to Ii. The Actiyes
hit the balls OF their opponents two pitchers,
ing had been as good their friends think they
would have won. The score is much too large
for first-rate game. The Times believes the
Actiyes ''are by all odds the strongest amateur
batting team in the country"
No game has been arranged. as yet with the
Flyaway Club, though it is probable one will be.
Yesterday the Quicksteps, Jr., and the Central
nne played ten-inning game on the Quickstep
grounds; the score at the end OF 10Th stood to
IL in favor Of the Centrals.
The Reading papers report that the Actlves
think of entering tho professional lists, next

ments, and the Philadelphias $4,000.
The Chicago club will end the present year

Young Ladies, Benevolent work

rHE YOUNG LADIES BENEVOLENT sooIETYA DE
yELoPMENr OF PLANS FOR THE wINTER--Ioosis
OPENED FOR YOUNG woMEN.
A representative OF the COMMERCIAL yesterday
gathered from some of the ladies prominently
engaged in tho work Of the Young Ladies' Be
nevolent Society some idea of the plans OF that
excellent organization for the approaching win
ter The Society has been organized two years.
ia the Winter OF 1873 A it collected and expen-
ded s4s5 As, and extended relief to G6 families;
and last inter it expended 1904 81, relieving 9s
families. Its work, however, has seemed to wi
den and develop, aud this winter further and
more systematic exertions are to be made. These
open in two directions; the relief of the needy
mainly by furnishing employment; and the pro-
vision OF entertainment for young girls in the
evenings.
For the first object, it is proposed to raise
funds by collections from persons Interested.
Last winter 20 cents week was solicited from Il
large number OF persona, and received from ma
ny, but it is now intended to ask for vi % each,
to be given ut one time. There are forty 'inan-
agers," including those most directly engaged,
and last year there were 147 contributing MEM
bers. This number it is hoped, will be largely
increased, this year. 1t is not proposed, as we
understood, to extend help directly in money ;
cases needing that will be referred to the Union
Aid Society, If that or something similar shall be
organized but work-such as sewing, &c.-will
be found for women who are able to perform it,
and who have no regular employment else
where, Garments will be provided to be made
up, and these, when completed, can be disposed
Of or given out to the needy.
For the second object pleasant rooms have
been secured in the second story of the Ex-
change Building, (entrance on 7th between Mar
ket and Shipley.) They are plainly but very
cheerfully furnished, and it is intended to have
them open every evening during the week, ex-
cept Sundays. with the view OF attracting there
Young girls who have no better place for spend
ing the evening. Hundreds promenade Market
St., every night, until unreasonable hours, who
might much better give an hour or two in these
pleasant rooms. A piano has been presented by
IA gentleman, and some one of the ladies' of the
Society will see that music lis furnished each
evening. Contributions Of books, magazines,
Ne, have been solicited, and many have already
been sent n to form the foundation for a library
for thore who come to the rooms. Other con-
tributons should be sent between and 1, on
any Wednesday afternoon.
The officers of the Society include Mrs Jos.

Yesterday, at II a. M, the last column of the

1t is Just five months and nineteen days since
the first column was placed in position. Actual
working time, about five months.
A big gun, weighing over fifty tons, which had
been lying on the beach at Fortress Monroe fol
several years, has been ordered to the Centen-
nial grounds by the National Government, pre-.
paratory to having it placed in the Centennial
Exposition. The gun is said to be very un-
wIeldy, but is fitted with all the modern appli'
tar, weighing about seventeen TONS, will also be
sent with the gun.
At Memorial Hall large amount of inside
work has been done. and the figures for the base
of the dome are being hosted into place. The
two figures, Art and Science, are already in
place, immediately above the entrance. The
work of glazing the dome will, it is expected, be
completel in the course of two weeks.
