PREJUDICE.

The nmn of prejudice always

this world is obscured to his vis

narrow standard, and to his jaun

offspring of ignorance, but in my
observation of men, I find it to
of jealousy as and outcropping
envy. For in

at this time they were on good
terms . But, before t hey had been
i fludr i w home very long, one
of them began to flourish like the
touched green bay tree; everything that he
seemed to prosper—not
only did be succeed from a finan
cial standpoint, but was honored
with a seat in the councils ot
Slate, and filled other important
positions yl dignity and trust,
vvitli credit to himself and honor
to bis constituents. His attention
to business, his intellectual force,
and his rapid rise were remarked
by every one. But the career of
his friend was quite different; lie
stood.around tiling ns it waiting for some
to Happen ; he led a sloth
ful lile, and as a result, he is still
awaiting the golden opportuni
ties that do not materialize,
Finally he began to observe the
prosperity of his friend, and it
made him uncomfortable. He
then commenced to whisper around
in the community evil suspicions
against his boyhood friend, who
had committed the unpardonable
sin of outstripping him in intel
lectual force, industry, politeness,
gentlemanly conduct, attention
to business, and their inevitable
result, success. He began to be
alarmed. Was it possible that the
friend of liis bosom could be such
a Was his prosperity
the result of guilt ? Did he ac
complish it with malice afore
thought? The plot thickened, an
other honor was heaped on the
worthy; this was the last straw,
that broke the camel’s back. His
friend was a thief, a renegade. He
felt that it was encumbent upon
himself to unmask the impostor,

him very little after this—he was |

ousy he perceived this- his lack
of penetration was for once re
moved—his honor was at stake,
he must find new phases of
his vocabulary must be extended,
there must be a few more refine
ments. He drank deeply of the
filthy cesspool of Billingsgate and
exulted in disgorging new plati
tudes, but still the people nodded
their heads. He then looked for
a incoming new audience; he watched the
of strangers to town, but
these avoided him as an unlocked
lunatic. His manner had grown
wild, his gesticulations had become 1C
terrible. At last his energies 111 •
