Jealousy
ULA.
SMaw-Z- ~

"Trifles light as air are to the jealous
confirmation strong proofs Of holy writ."
Jealousy Is a coal that comes kissing hot
from hell"
Among all the evil passions that may Turk
in the human breast and plot and plan and
conjure and strive to work injury to others,
Jealousy is the most unrelenting, untireing
and basest. 1t carries it's ignoble and dis
graceful stain upon its forehead, and. there
fore, seeks to hide itself from the light OF
heaven by attributing its diabolical work to
other causes. SO ignominious is this trait OF
character that its existence will not be ac-
knowledged even to ones self, but IL is hidden
away in the heart under every conceivable
mask. to shield II from the observers eye and
understanding. 1t 1t headstrong passion.
and therein lies its great danger. All other
passions condescend at times to accept the
memorable logic Of facts; but jealousy looks
facts square in the face and lies them out
Of countenance. She merely says she knows
better than facts can tell her, and utterly
ignores them.
Jealousy thinks nobody is good; betrays
friends and neighbors, violates contracts, dis
solves society, drives peace from what might
otherwise be happy homes, sets brother against
sister and husband against wife, breaks we'd
lock makes truth a liar and robs the Saviour
of precious souls.
Did jealousy always appear in the ordinary
form of detraction 1t would be comparatively
harmless, but It rises from i'll nature and
guilt and assuming some mask from its
varied AID ENJOYABLE assortment, 1t turks con-
lcealed under some less mean and ENJOYABLE
ter OF rudeness and want of courtesy; again,
II assumes the form OF injustice. Now it
wears the mask Of sarcasm; anon IL steals
the garb Of virtue, humility sincerity, and,
lying cciled under some flower, serpent-like
II darts forth its venemous fangs when you
least expect II, and It's defenseless victim
writhes in the throes Of anguish for which
there is no antidote but the peaceful realms
Of silent shade"
Jealousy is peculiar and singular in this;
Il is a sure curse a certain and fatal blight
to the heart upon which II seizes; il is as
cruel as the grave that yawns to swallow
from the lap Of luxury, from the summit ~
fame from the bosom Of love. the desire Of
many admiring eyes and devoted hearts. 1t
makes white appear black; yellow to look
green and turns the very sunshine to dis
agreeable and deadly hue. There Is no gen
erosity, no justice, no loving kindness. no In
nocence, no purity that is not marred by its
suspicious and blackened by its pialevolence.
Among the deadly things that creep upon
earth or swim in the fly in the air.
nothing is found noxious jealousy. Ii
Is the devils vice-regent earth; the Zoe
