between the two.
Fools suffer much pain wise men

There are two kinds of envy. In
the base mind it degenerates into
downright hatred Of a superior, with a
desire to deprive him of what the
envious one cannot possess ; while in
a noble soul it goes no farther than
emulation Or a desire to equal or 70
surpass the question. Oh, how SUIT
tile and almost imperceptible is the
difference between the seeds Of ones
vIrtae or vices

rrised ground SO that Mrs. Whitney,

Mrs. Whitney is lover of horses.
While riding behind the hounds she
struck her head against a covered
bridge and broke her neck, making
her an invalid for all these months,

changed her affection for horses.
Knowing that it would be a great
source of amusement for her to
watch the fast thoroughbreds speed,
Mr. Whitney had plans made for the
track. The track will soon be finish
ed. and when it is Mrs. Whitney can
enjoy races such as the people OF
New York would go miles to see,
from Il reclining chair a. her sitting
room window.
Mrs Whitney has suffered no evil
effects from her trip to Bar Harbor.
But she seems to be very little bet
ter than months ago. She is com
PEELED to lie in bed all the time.
