Strange, indeed, are tho legends
of the Japanese.. One of them, oal-
led “The Wicked Neighbor,” runs ns
follows :
Once fchoro was a good old man
Tio Hio, his name was. He was a
gracious and most excellent listen
er.
Ho had also a good old wife, but
no children, which made him very
unhappy. So he burnt a prayer on
the finest good paper before his
household gods, that something
night bo given to'him to compensate
for the emptiness of his house -in
which no children bowed 4own be
fore him in veneration, and tho next
day his prayer was answered. A
dog scratched at ‘ the door of his
hou8o—a dog in whose eyes burnt a
palei blue flamo, mild and reassuring
—so that the old tnan know, when
he looked into his eyes, that a good
spirit resided in tho dog’s body. So
the old man and his old wife wel
comed him; but tho wicked neighbor
wot his finger and pierced tho pa
per wall of the abode of tho good old
man, and peeped in through tho hole
md cast an envious eye upon the
dog, and hated his neighbor tliut so
good a thing hud befallen him.
Now the old umu was very poor,
and had but a very little rice to eat
every day. So the dog set about
making him more comfortable, lie
barked aud fawned-, upon . the old
man until he followed him into the
wood, nnd there ho scratched and
whined until the cld man began to
dig. When he had dug a little lie
found money in a porcelain jar, and,
overjoyed, took it home to iiis wife.
Now they should no longer need any*
thing. But the wicked neighbor
had watched'the good old man, and
found out what tho dog was able to
do, and put his eye to the hole ho
had pierced in the paper wall and
saw tho money counted.
So thereupon he went, next day,
humbly and deceitfully, and begged
his neighbor to lend him tho dog to
keep away thipvus, whom he dread
ed. The good old man at onco gran
ted his request, and tho wicked
neighbor took the dog away. But
when he was oat of hearing, bo
said :
“Come now; I know you are a
spirit, and no dog. I know you,
showed my neighbor where to find
treasure. Show mo also, or i! will
kill yon.”
So the dog led him into tho woods
and pointed out u spot; but though
lie dug all day, bo found nothing but
stones. Thou ho glow so angry that
ho killed the dog, and buriod him
under a tree.
That night tho good old man came
to his bad neighbor’s house and ask
ed lor Ins dog.
“He bit me, so I killed him,”
.■raid tlie neighbor.
The old man wept.
“But if he bit you, it was just
the dog whom ho loved, and in
whoso breast a good spirit dwelt.
And-when it was finished, there was
a small piece of tho trunk loft; and
of this ho made a mortar, in whioh
to pound his rice. But tho first day
he used it, ho’found that all the rioe
ho pounded' turned to gold.
Now once again the wicked neigh*
bor listeuod and peeped, and found
tho secret of tho magio mortar.
Therefore ho came to tho door next
day humbly and deceitfully, and
said :
“Good neighbor, I havo broken
my mortar, and can pound no rico
for my children. Loud me yours, I
pray.”
So tho good old man lont tho mor
ter, and tho wicked neighbor took it
homo and began to pound, but no
gold camo under his pestle. In
stead, the rice turned to snails and
other hideous things, which crept
oat of the mortar over his hands.
And again ho was furious, and
broke the tnortor and burnt it to
ashes. And it the night the good
old man came once more to ask for
what he had loaned.
“It broke; so I burnt it,” said the
wioked neighbor.
“An accidentia no man’s fault,”
said tho good old tnan. “But give
tne, I pray, the ashes of my mortar
for I valuod it.”
“They lie there on tho stone,”
said tho wioked neighbor.
So tho good old man gathered
them up and wont home, and put
them into a porcelain jmv *ud-*sa1il:
“I will keep them all my life.”
But as ho slept that night a sound
awakened him, and at his foot ho
saw a spirit standing. By tho blue,
calm light m its oyes, ho knew it
was the good spirit that had lived iu
tho body of his devoted dog.
Now it was fair and beautiful
with almond oyes and a dross of gold
and crimson, and it had u long pig
tail and u large fan; also, a sword.
“Do not fear, best of good old
moil,” he said. “I am coino to give
you advice. Know thut you may
become groat in tho laud. Tho
ashes iu that jar will cause leaves to
grow and blossoms to start on troos
that have been dead for years. Now,
in tho Daimio’s garden stand throo
trees, whioET have been dead a long
while. The Daimio loves them
more than his Ir’fe, but no grirdennor
can make thorn bloom again. To
morrow, when the Daimio’s proces
sion pusses, arid those, who run be
fore call out, ‘kneel ! kneel ! kneel 1’
stand you at the door of your homo
and call out j ‘I do not knooll’
Then they-will ask you why; und
you must answer : ‘Do who can re
store bud aud leaf, bloom und blos
som to the dead trees in tho Daimio’s
garden tho Daimio will not require
to kneel.’
“Then tho Daimio will bid you
prove your power, and you must take
the ashes in tho jar and go to tho
Daimio’s garden and sprinkle tho
boughs of the dead trees with thorn
TJ>cn sec what shall be seen.”
Thereupon the spirit vanished,
but the old man slept. But in the
morning all camo to pass as tho
spirit had said. And when the Dai
tnio’s attendants saw that ho did not
kneel and asked the question, the
Daimio, hearing the answer, cried:
“Provo him !”
So they took him to where tho
ilircc trees stood, dead and dry, and
said :
“Provo your power, or die !”
Then the good old man cast
ashes over his head, and thu bare,
black branches grew greon with
buds, and the blossoms Jut rig sweet
ly from them, tempting tho bees;
mid tho Daimio was overjoyod, mid
guv# presents to the old nmn, aud
• habitation near bis paiaot an 1 ser
vants, and rich olothes. But still
tho wioked' noigbor watched and
ot.viod, and now hopluokod tho good
man by tho sleeve.
“Givo mo, I pray you, one hand
ful of thoso magio ashes,” ho said.
‘Tho two beray bushes .in my gar-
don are doad, and my children cry
for fruit.”
So tho kind old man gavo a full
handful of tho ashes to this wioked
neighbor, who at onco wont to tho
Daimio.
'Oh, greatest and most puissant,”
he said, “I prostrate my self to beg
