A BATCH OF FABLES,
Sail! to be From the Persian, by
Ambrose Pierce.
“There now,” said a kitten, trium
phantly, laying a passive mouse at the
feet of her mother, “I flatter myself 1
am coming on with a very reasonable
degree of rapidity. What will become
of the minor quadrupeds when I have
attained my full strength and ferocity,
it is mournful to conjecture!”
“Did he give you much trouble?'
inquired the aged ornament of the
hearth side with tender solicitude.
“Trouble!” eclvjyd the kitten,“I nev
er had such a fight in my life. He was
a down right savage—in his day.”
“My Falstaffin issue ” rejoined the
Tabby, dropping her eyelids and com
posing her head for a quiet sleep, "tin-
above is a toy mouse."
“What have you there on your
back?” said a zebra, j&ringly, to a
“ship of the desert,” in ballast.
“Only a bale of eridirons,” was the
meek reply.
"And what, pray, may you design
doing with them? ’
“What am I to do with gridirons?”
repeated the camel, contemptuously.
“Nice question fer you, who have evi
dently just come off one.”
People who throw stones should not
live in glass houses, but there ought tc-
be a few in the vicinity.
A man was plucking a live goose.
When his victim addressed him thus:
.‘‘Suppose you were a goose; do you
think you would relish this sort of
thing 2 ”
••Well, suppose I were,” answered
the man, ‘‘do you think you would likt
to pluck me?”
"Indeed, I would,” was the em
phatic, natural, but rather injudicious
reply.
"Just so,” replied her tormenter.
"that’s just the way I feel about tin
matter myself.”
A sheep, making a long journey,
found the heat of his fleece very un
comfortable, and, seeing a flock o'
other sheep in a fold, evidently waitine
for some one, leaped over and jomec
them, in the hope of being shorn
Perceiving the shepherd approaching
and the other sheep huddling into a
remote corner of the fold he should
ered his way forward, and going up to
the shephered said:
“Did you ever see such a lot of fools?
It’s lucky I came along to set them an
example of docility. Seeing me oper
ated upon, they’ll be glad to offei
- themselves.”
“Perhaps so,” replied the shepherd,
laying hold of the animal’s horns. • bu-
1 never kill more than one sheep at a
time. Mutton won’t keep inhotweath
er.”
An old fox and her two cubs wcr.
pursued by dugs, when one of the cubs
got a thorn in his foot and could in t
go any further. Setting the other 10
watch for ihe pursuers, the mothei
proceeded, with much tender solici
tude, to extract the thorn. Just a
she had done so the sentinel gave the
alarm.
“How near are they?” asked the.
mother.
“t lose by, in the next field,” was
the answer.
“The deuce tliev are,” was the re
joinder.
•However, I presume they will be
content with a single fox.’
And shoving the thorn earnestly
back into the wounded foot, this ex
cellent parent took to her heels.
l'his fable proves that humanity
does not happen to enjoy a monopoly
of parental affection.

A man’s occupation or condition
has a good deal to do with making
his facial expression. Intellectual
pursuits, like the studies of the schol
arly professions, when coupled with
temperate and moral habits of life,
brigh iten the face and give the person
a superior look. Magnanimity of na
ture, or love of study and art, will
make a bright, glad face; but con
trary to this a man may have a facej a
that does not please any body, because ;
of a love of self to the exclusion &'
all others, notwithstanding his learn-"**
ing and wordly shrewdness. Soldiers
get a hard, severe look; overworked
laborers constantly look tired; report
ers look inquisitive; mathematicians
look studious; judges become grave,
even when ofl the bench; the man who
has had domestic trouble looks all
broken up.
' An example of the ludicrous side of
this subject is to see a third class law
yer stalking around a police court
looking os wise as an owl. The busi
ness makes the face, I say. There’s
the butcher’s face, the ministerial
,5 face, the lawyer’s face, the doctor’s
face, the hoodlum’s face, all so dis
tinct each from the other and singly
that I seldom fail to recognize those
callings showing through the faces.
And what city boy can not recognize

misfortune was one that often Iwl'alla singers.
Many a once tuneful voice among’ those who
belong to the “genus homo " is utterly spoiled
by “ cold in the head,” or on the lungs, or both
combined. For the above mentioned “ croak
er” we are not aware that any remedy was
ever devised; but wo rejoice to know that all
human singers may keen their heads clear and
throats in tune by the timely use of Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Fierce’s Cl olden Med
ical Discovery, both of which arc sold by
druggists.
Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy euros the worst
cases of Catarrh in the Head, no matter of
how long standing, while for all laryngeal,
bronchial, throat and lung affections. Dr.
Fierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is posi
tively unequaled. It cures the worst linger
ing coughs and builds up the ilesh and
strength of those who have been reduced
by wasting diseases. It is guaranteed to
benefit or cure in all diseases for vflKuh it is
recommended, if taken in time and given a
fair trial, or money paid for ifej-efunded.
