1C8C Xhible entitled, 11 Four Animat* at a
J'fail” A grasshopper filled with dew, was
merrily singing under shade; a bluebird that
eats grasshoppers, had marked it for its prey,
and was ju-t poised on the wing to seize it;
a serpent—that was fond of blue Birds, was
coiled up to fasten on the little warbler; a
serpent-hawk had just stooped from above to
<cize the charmer; All were intent on their
prey, and unmindful of their danger; So the
blue-Bird cat the grasshopper, the serpent
the blue-Bird, and the Ilawk the serpent.—
While dropping from on high, a Vulture de
voured the Hawk, the Serpent the blue-Bird
and grasshopper.’ I had scarcely finished
my Fable, when my friend received intelli
gence from his Lawyer that his ease had been
continued to another Court. And lie should
want some money advanced, to compensate
the service rendered by the several persona
ges in protection of his rights. And that
all the world was of the opinion that the
next hearing would bring him off victorious;
So my friend did as he was bid by counsel,
and the ease is still pending.’
