PARENTAL JEALOUSY.

Over zealousness in caring for wards may,

man has blasted the reputation of one he
dearly loved by speaking of faults his jealous
eye had discerned in the image his affection

reality in the vision of persons less careful,
perhaps, certainly less hypercritical. An illus

Mir. Foster is one of the best-natured men in the world. and it seems hard that he should not be allowed to take his turn at whist like anybody else. Bu, then he does not play like anybody else, and is avoided like pesti- lenoe. He does not mind paying for his fun. and loses fearful number of half crown points Tn the course of the season. But he loves the game as Talleyrand loved it. Talleyrand was an atrocious player, but paid the large sums he lost at the Travellers club with unfai.iny cheerfulness. When his partners lost ali patience and made cutting remarks. he only smiled. paid up, and went on play ing. as Werther's Charlotte. like a we'll conducted person, went on cutting bread and butter Why, it may be asked, did not ho Mono play billiards.
