One definition OF jealous is, To
be earnestly and anxiously sus.
picious. This is complete enough
for the purpose of explaining the
object we have IN using the word.
jealousy has been the cause Of
untold misery in the affairs Of
this world. 1t has broken the
hearts Of millions of women and
millions OF men. II has dethrons
ed Kings and cut of the heads Of
Princes and Princesses alike.
Time and again it has clogged
the wheels of legislation. It has
been the means of dissolving
great commercial firms, and some
have gone down ip humiliation
and disgrace because of its bane-
full effects. Countless are the
homes where happiness never
enters, because jealousy is there.
1t has existed since the popula.
ton of the earth was a scant
dozen, and viii be here when the
earth is consumed by fire.

speeuIating About The Mes.nre.

There is an impression that II is Mr.
Clevelands purpose to say some sur
prising things in his message. 1t is pre-
dicted that he will talk very plainly on
the currency question, and that he will be
particularly vigorous in what he saws
about foreign affairs.
All that is said about the forthcoming
message is speculation. Nobody outside
of the cabinet is in a position to say
what the message viii contain, or how
any question will be dealt with.
1t can be said generally that Mr..
Cleveland will state his views frankly.
He has never hesitated to do that, and
that is why he has always had the conf
dence OF the people. In his whole career
he has never hesitated to put the interests
of the people ahead of those of his party.
There is no doubt that he is profoundly
concerned about the financial affairs of
the government, and it is reasonable to
suppose that he will devote a very con-
siderable part of his message to financial
matters. He doesn't want to issue more
bonds, but he intends to preserve the
soundness of the currency at any cost
1t is fair to assume. therefore, that he
will put the financial question before
congress in such way that that body
viii have to act upon it. or take the re-
sponsibility for another issue of bonds, if
more bonds become necessary.
The Cuban. Hawaiian and Armenian
matters will receive attention. but it is
not improbable that he will be content to
recite what he has done in respect to
them and leave it for congress to. say
whether policy different from that
which has been thus far pursued shah
! be adopted in dealing with them.

Nr. Jenerson,s Limitations.

The amusing ignorance of some people,
whose lives are spent away from cities,
in regard to the duties of an actor can
be illustrated, says the Grand Rapids
Herald, by one little incident told by
Joseph Jefferson, which occurred while
ne was living on his plantation in Louis
lana.

slowly along the bayou in canoe by my

Clay was appointed by the Legislature Of
Kentucky commissioner TO Virginia 10
ask OF that state that a commission be
appointed TO make a definite line OF de-
marcatiOn between the two states. Upon
his arrival ia Richmond ne was received
with great courtesy by its most distin-
guisheu citizens. He said that his pro-
fession. politics and affairs of govern
ment lad occupied his time so exclusive
or polite literature, or the faVorite puoll-
cations of the day. This prompted him
TO ask an Old friend whom he knew TO be
"A literary man TO select some lines to IN
trOduCe when addressing the legislature
as quotation expressive Of his feelings
70 the state Of Virginia, as his birthplace.
His friend suggested a stanza from
ScOtts Lay OF the Last Minstrel"
which he highly approved and memo
rized.
The day appointed for his address
found the galleries, halls. and every avail
able space crowded with eager, eXpectant
auditors, and many beautiful women IN
bright attire gave brilliancy TO the scene
He held the attention of his audience
with entire success, until he came 10 the
part where he meant to introduce the
quotation. Then his memory failed him.
The shock was appalling for Eloment;
He stood rigid and pale before a thousand
watchful eyes in his mind only blank,
before him a turbulent sea OF upturned
faces.
With a characteristic gesture he threw
up his hands to his forehead, and in the
most sonOrOus tones he recited the fol-
lowing words:
"Breathes there man, with soul so dead,
Who never 10 himself hath said
This is my own, my native land.
concluding his speech amid deatening APP
Every one present had supposed that
he was overcome by emotion, and none
tation for him perceived the cause of his
mOmentary panic.
